Thank you. I'd add that the money spent on signing Calderano could've been diverted to supporting the Infinity robot for a little longer. It was a crowdfunded project, for crying out loud. How would the "stakeholders" feel about being marooned only to see Joola has moved on to pickleball and...

Hmm... "If you read an article, it says that German rubbers are completely different depending on the manufacturer, but in reality they're not that different. The only thing I feel is that Tibhar is a little different."

https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/99542/2 I think that because of the competition, Tamasu released "Glayzer" and German rubber has become better. - From your perspective, how do you think table tennis rubbers will progress? "I think that because of the competition, Tamasu released the...

A 2023 interview on ESN and Butterfly rubbers between KONNO Noboru of Table Tennis Kingdom and MASAMI Mitsuhiro of table tennis shop Takkenka 840, who worked for a Japanese rubber manufacturer for 7 years [TL's note: Daiki or Fuso?]. 「ドイツラバーがなかったら、卓球メーカーも卓球ショップも存続できていなかったかもしれない」（正海）...

The yen has just dropped to its lowest since 7/2024 again, further strengthening export but increasing the cost of import. Butterfly rubbers to gain across much of the table tennis world. ESN rubbers to suffer more in Japan. Yen tumbles on Japan spending fears...

Please refer to my previous post. I've procrastinated on ESN. Time to get started on that.

Once again, not well-received by Tieba users. 奥恰洛夫3:2雨果 (Ovtcharov 3-2 Calderano) https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10378946937 王皓（剁球还分版） 雨果这阵子很迷，又是解签又是乱换拍子，但我始终感觉，他那身体素质压根不会是输球的原因，雨果也是进入到无冠期了 IP属地:广东来自Android客户端7楼2026-01-09 09:16回复 (Hugo has looked confusing lately, making odd decisions about the...

What Tao Yuchang meant (explaining what he did in past matches) is that he twiddles/changes according to the tables and balls which keep changing. He even explained to Hao Shuai how Dortmund wouldn't let anyone wear a blue jersey into the locker room and FZD was an exception if you are strong...

Tao Yuchang is a former CNT player and he was personally there. See the picture in the Tieba thread.

Integrity.

And Selkirk's letter. Shots fired: Selkirk calls for all paddle manufacturers to act with integrity [url unfurl=false]https://www.reddit.com/r/Pickleball/comments/1dfstfg/shots_fired_selkirk_calls_for_all_paddle/[/url] maxcaliburx • 2y ago I speak with manufacturers all the time. I was actually...

Joola gained a lot of angry "customers" who backed their Infinity robot, a Kickstarter project that started in 2019, after abandoning the project merely 3 years after delivery. Joola was in a huge controversy in pickleball as well, coupled with the Selkirk's allegations and a class action...

Thank you for the confirmation. We've come full circle.

Main draw looks rather well-balanced for MS/WS this time.

And will the mass-produced model(s) also come with the same engineering tolerance, like weight as you indicated?

Look, Joola has a history of mismanagement when it was a German company. Now that the brand became a US company in 2019, evidence suggests they want to put their house in order, and focused on pickleball first while putting table tennis on the back burner and leaving the Chinese business alone...

That's normal practice when you need to manage huge regions. 株式会社タマス/Tamasu Co. Ltd. (Butterfly Japan for simplicity) has 4 suboffices - Tamasu Butterfly Europe (TBE) (Europe and Africa, IIRC also West/Central Asia), Tamasu Butterfly China (TBC), Tamasu Butterfly Korea (TBK), Tamasu Butterfly...

Is it possible like ThePongCommenter suggested that Joola Xiamen took things into their own hands when the parent company had failed to provide them with proper support. They have to recuperate their investment. It's not like they didn't pay for the license/rights to distribution. Did they...
