No, not everyone does this. OJS didn't do it much before from what I had noticed but he is doing it frequently in the past 3 months. Most notable against Redzimski 0-3 in Doha. When someone who is a very safe player is suddenly losing very winnable matches mostly off of unforced errors, it makes...

I joke about it but it's not just jokes. He's not been as sharp since WYC which is the first tournament he was using it at. I am keeping my eye out for the sudden appearance of edge tape covering red sponge...

Oh Junsung has been doing this constantly since he switched to Tibhar at the 2024 WYC.

His D05 is almost certainly harder, with a different sponge definitely and perhaps even topsheet but with the same 05 pips arrangement compared to commercial version. No clue why he dropped the 09c but 09c, like most harder and tacky rubbers, is certainly less forgiving with less perfect...

Good fight by the other Alamian but the end result was never in doubt

That "so close yet so far" 5th game against China...a classic

Huang Yan Cheng 2-3 Koen Pang....up and down again for HYC

Good start for Huang Youzheng after suffering a career-ending defeat to Ricardo Walther

Agreed. Streaming is expensive though. For days where all the matches are lower level or guaranteed 3-0s, either USATT didn't have the budget for it or 888 didn't want to pay for it since making the sport accessible to the public and nice gestures aren't at the top of the priority list for...

Probably not for preliminaries...not really missing much

His first few months back were slightly rocky as to be expected when returning from over a year of no tournament play. He is in really good form now - I think he should be able to stabilize his performance now against players outside the Top 50 but we will see.

Eugene's level definitely has dropped in the last year or two, but he is still very good.

Kind of like...Timo Boll, who was the main influencer of the 09c's development?

It's totally fine to use on a backup racket, wouldn't use it on my primary though. The tear is jusssstttt outside of the area where you would be hitting the ball so you should be fine.

I wouldn't....

No, it is just another example of coaching advice being given by someone who has no experience coaching and frankly little experience playing as well.

He withdrew.

Dismissive comments like this achieve nothing. For someone who started playing serious table tennis in April 2023 and is a beginning level player, you seem to think you know a lot about high level table tennis, yet every time the very obvious flaws in your opinions are pointed out, you just...

That's fine. Since ratings don't tell the full story, I will wait for your explanation on how Simeon is CTTA3000 and USATT 2550 and Jason Louie is CTTA2550 and USATT 2350 despite Simeon being the worse player, with an ample amount of matches played in both systems, whenever you are ready to...

Everyone knows that. And I recognize that you probably think Jason is a better player because he plays a more traditional two wing looping, what you think is "Chinese" game than Simeon does. Results do tell the full story, and Simeon's recent results are that of someone who is much higher level...
