What this article doesn't mention is whether or not Japan keeps the center sheets of rubber domestically and/or for sponsored players (most of whom also have customized rubbers). Some Butterfly sponsored players have told me that they also believe the domestic sheets are more consistent and...

Could've waited to vacation until a certain someone was done in Incheon...

Reviews are useless when they are coming from 1350 players pretending to be 2350 former Chinese players. Both for the reviewer and for those trying to gain insights from it. It appears he has now deleted his post saying he played a Westchester Open (which would have given him a USATT rating) -...

You find it weird because it doesn't happen. Louisgenius continues to insist on pretending to be a 2350 former provincial player for whatever reason. I'll leave that up to him. Players who reach the provincial level (generally 2400 at a minimum), like you said, pick their equipment off feeling...

Hey bro that's weird. I thought you didn't have a rating? Or were you "writing as your student" again in this post?

Not sure about blades but some Butterfly sponsored players say the rubber sheets from Japan are better as well

ZYL 2-1 9-4 to 9-11 Game 5 now :eek:

ZYL still has game. One of the bigger what ifs in TT

He also beat Clarence Chew, Walther, and Jang before beating WCQ and LSD at Singapore - do we know that those wins also gave him a confidence boost and are why he eventually won the gold?

Not sure what this means. There has been less pressure on him for years now.

He's a 15 year veteran, his confidence isn't fluctuating in the middle of a tournament based on whether he beats Dima in a single match or not. On that topic though, having spoken to people who know him, he has accepted his reduced role on the CNT and is at peace with enjoying the twilight years...

You might be right but I don't think they've played recently so head to head might not give the best picture of who will win right now. LGY's form in recent months has taken a huge dip and I wouldn't even be 100% sure that he gets past LSS if he even beats Dima. Also, if Sora doesn't seemingly...

Why?

Eerland vs Miwa might be a tough watch

Lee Sangsu at 0-1 8-10 against Lind: "alright I'm gonna win now"

@Louisgenius You are a former Chinese provincial team member but in November 2023 you were around 1900 USATT. That must be the lowest level Chinese provincial team player I've ever seen in my life and I know a lot of them. And incredibly, a year later you were 2350 USATT. Let me guess, you were...

Nope. All NCTTA players receive an NCTTA rating. There is no such thing as "unrated" NCTTA events. So you cannot have played NCTTA for Cornell and not received a rating.

Not playing for the Cornell team? You do realize if you are 2350 then most people here giving you advice probably couldn't even score 3 points in a game off of you? Why are you so determined to take equipment advice from these people instead of your former provincial teammates and coach who is...

Light sandpaper

You recently estimated yourself as USATT 2300. Chinese provincial players at the U17 provincial levels would be far better than 2300. That wouldn't even be a good enough level in the US to win U17 at a regional level, in most regions. You also mentioned you are American but are only in China...
