  1. Harimoto: "It's presumptuous to call it a rivalry." (#1135)

    Hopefully, the world learned why almost every country in South America hates Argentina, and will gladly cheer for the country that colonized and killed their people over Argentina lol.
  2. Need Advice On Hinoki Blade (J-pen)

    I just took mine off, and it left a residue as well. I removed some of the glue, but it still looks discolored. Any way to safely remove the discoloration?
  3. Need Advice On Hinoki Blade (J-pen)

    This was my experience when I actually played at my club with the new setup. Fastarc g1 allowed me to return serves more effectively. I hated that my baracuda was so spin sensitive. Do you guys use edge tape on your 1 ply? If you do, what measurement? 12mm or 10mm?
  4. Need Advice On Hinoki Blade (J-pen)

    This is exactly how it felt. I was shocked how it wasn't fast nor did it have that 1 ply hinoki sound. I am also really liking fastarc g1. Somehow, Vmax and fastarc g1 feels more controlled in the short game than my garaydia and baracuda.
  5. Need Advice On Hinoki Blade (J-pen)

    I just finished playing around with my robot and serving. Obviously, robot training is waaay different than an actual opponent or multiball partner, so who knows how I'll do next time I go to my club. The blade behaves exactly like everyone said it would, it's such a unique feeling. I started...

    Guess which dictator is responsible for more deaths than both world wars? :)
  7. Need Advice On Hinoki Blade (J-pen)

    Honestly, I think even the baracuda would be too fast on this blade lol. I haven't played with it yet, but just bouncing a ball on this setup scares me. I expect to overshoot everything for a couple of weeks
  8. Need Advice On Hinoki Blade (J-pen)

    Yeah, I was expecting this to be fast, but didn't expect it to be THIS fast. I am blown away by how fast this setup is. How long did it take you to get the technique down?
  9. Need Advice On Hinoki Blade (J-pen)

    I just glued the fastarc g1 and holy shit, it's so fast and bouncy. Definitely the fastest blade I've ever owned. I may want to slap on a rubber that's a little slower, a hybrid but am tempted to put a skyline or hurricane to see how it behaves

    Thank you! Can't wait to test it out, but it's currently like 96F

    She's a beauty. I feel sad that I have to start sanding it
  12. Do you have to be fit to be a pro table tennis player?

    I think TT is more like heavyweight boxing. Sure, being fit helps, but it's not a requirement.

    This dude is describing me, apparently lol

    It's finally happening. After over a month of waiting, Butterfly NA has 4 Cypress V max in stock. They are sending me a 98gram one, I wanted a little lighter but I will take it since their stock is so low. Hopefully, I get it sometime next week!
  15. Rate me in USATT/Chinese rating. I want to know the numbers :)

    It's impossible for a 2000 USATT Bay Area player to be at the same level of a 2000 USATT in the Midwest. The competition in the Bay Area is waaaaaay better. It's a drawback of the elo rating system. There is a reason why the Naresh brothers had to move away from the Midwest, and to the Bay...
  16. Rate me in USATT/Chinese rating. I want to know the numbers :)

    It really depends where in the US. A 2000 usatt rated player from the Bay Area is wildly different than a 2000 player from the Midwest.

    I replayed it and it doesn't look like his shirt made contact. We will have to wait for a closeup of that shot

    I guess Darko is the umpire too. WTF.
