Why did China bring LJK to this tournament, are they stupid

It was shocking tactical failure by Alexis more than a mental break but the narrative won't be this probably.

If they win, it isn't going to be comfortable

No way, I thought she was using unboosted H3

The prediction was basically that Iizuka would beat Walker🤷‍♂️

3-0 Brazil

If Lily's opponent had any forehand she would be in trouble

There are plenty of innerforce blades that are great from the midrange, more powerful ones like Ovtcharov or maybe the Super ALC. Wouldn't recommend an IFL ALC from the mid range to higher level players as its probably too slow but not all innerforce blades can be grouped together.

Availability plus how much someone prioritizes league play versus WTT play is another factor. Unrelated note, did Yancheng Huang ever play a match for Bay Area?

One week later.. Great to see how far MLTT has come in just the 4th season. Not just a "retirement home" league but one that is attracting more and more top talent every season like I thought it would, now with several active WTT players as well as giving a platform for up and comers to show...

What is Pro Select?

Both of them have full time jobs.

You don't sound like you know what "pros who are honest" will tell you, I do. And I may not know what you know about the science of feeling. I'll leave it at that, I don't see this conversation going anywhere productive anymore.

Okay so what formulation is Butterfly using for their protective coating and how does it compare to the ones that you and I can purchase in terms of chemical composition and the resulting feeling? I suspect neither you or I truly know all the aspects that contribute to what feeling is but as I...

I can assure you the public does not have access to any kind of material that manufacturers do lol. I am not sure where "bending stiffness" came from, I didn't say that stiffness is what specifically changes, just feeling overall.

Whatever protective coating Butterfly uses in manufacturing isn't available to the public so I can only speak to experience with publicly sold sealers, and they can often (not always) lead to glassy feelings. This is pretty well documented. I'm sure you can minimize that by using a tiny amount...

Depends what you are talking about high level here, you are talking about only the best players in the world who are getting 40 blades per year. And even for those who have the option, many of them prefer to stick to a blade rather than switch it as soon as it wears out from gluing or minor...

No most don't replace blades every couple weeks. And they could absolutely detect the differences in gluing/boosting/weight in a blind test. Seen it happen plenty.

You can when you're a good enough player who is in tune enough with their equipment. The actual urban legend is that a difference in a few grams or an extra thick application of glue leads to differences that are imperceivable from other externally applied differences like booster or sealant.
