Niwa was on every single Austrian Open training hall videos and worked hard. I hope he'll be back. I want to see the Kenta-Niwa double in action again! They played close matches against the chinese top doubles.

And now we can see your Mizutani service ;)?

Glue, and it seems that it's speed glue. 'Natural rubber + organic solvents', that is what taobao seller says.

The Kenta - Oshima match was so much entertaining! Kenta is my all-time favourite player, I just love to watch his creative play. And good to see how he smiles during the match, because he enjoy it!

The biggest surprise is Jin Ueda. And Kenta vs. Duda again.

I totally agree with TonyTT. Kids must concentrate on school, because they need something other than tt to make their living. And the problem isn't the school, but that they have to decide: enough learning + less training, or less learning + enough training. And that is something what can be...

My post from another thread:

I think the match against Ma Long was a matter of luck. ML missed some easy shots at the deciding match (which ends at 7 point, not 11). I wanted FZD to play against Hao Shuai, he beat FZD many times.

For developing the right mindset: I really like to think that there are two ways to follow: you can be a jedi or a sith (not in the positive-negative sense). A 'jedi' wants to keep calm, and he doesn't allow his feelings to control him. Waldner is the first who comes to my mind. A 'sith' uses...

Video, video and video! Posting a video is vital. Otherwise I think you should master specific shots. For example third ball attack lvl999, practice this every day (training day) for months: Or just practice something simply with focus on ball quality. Don't just do 100000 FH loop, but try to...

ML,XX are still in the top3 player in the world and ZJK also very strong even in China. They will participate in international tournaments until these youngsters will be better than them.

Yes, but I suppose everyone boosts his/her rubber as he/she wants.

This isn't fair. I voted on Koki Niwa, as I hope he will show us fighting spirit and confidence. But Wang Chuqin is very dangerous and should be mentioned next to the top seeds. I'm curious what are the numbers on his matches on online sport betting sites. Andrej Gacina entered as the No.4...

In Hungary: EL-S - 38.7 EUR, 42.6 USD Bluefire M2 - 28.4 EUR, 31,2 USD V>15 Extra - 27.1 EUR, 29.8 USD Vega Pro - 26.6 EUR, 29.3 USD And the payment is proportionately less. Vega Pro: durability is the main issue. It doesn't die early, but the playing characteristics become awful. It still...

I think Bluefire M2 is what are you looking for. In the past that was the main alternate for T05 here. I had only the M1 version, which is faster. It won't be as close as EL-S, but cheaper, slower and have quite good characteristics. Xiom Vega Pro also a popular slower alternate, but I wasn't...

Melting appears even without boosting, if the rubber is sensitive to your sweat. I've heard a lot about melted Donic and Xiom rubbers, and my Vega Pro and Bluefire M1 also melted. It seems ESN (mostly red) topsheets are the most sensitive, tacky chinese and japanese ones are more durable. (MX-P...

This one will be totally Japan dominated. (my speculation)

Try to keep a distance from the table before the serve and move when the opponent serves. Look at a professional match, how they move at receiving and you will know what I'm talking about. Decide on a receiving ritual, for example look at Cui Qinglei's stance:

A bad glue job can seriously reduce the speed. I noticed that my slightly boosted H3 was so slow even on kill loops. I reglued it and became much more lively. I suppose that EL-S is also factory tuned, so it might work.
