Yes. P7 was a great rubber, to my impression. It was discontinued just about when I returned to the game, so I have played against players using their last sheet and have hit a fee balls with it. No extensive experience, but what I've seen is positive. It created high spin levels, offering...

Yes. Britt Eerland blogger about partnering with her.

One might surmise. Did she pull a Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu in a previous life, and would the shamefulness of that even transgress the boundaries of a single life? One wonders. Eternal shame indeed! But on the more serious side of things, you're hinting at a conspiracy there, zeio. I see no...

“Are you experienced?”, a Jimi might ask.

So she was, but she found her way again and reigned supreme in the decider. Good for her, solid performance by Li Jie.

It’s no walk in the park so far. Hayata lead and might have closed the match in the 5th. But she did not, and Li Jie took control and has the momentum now.

They switched from cornillieau (which seems to be focusing elsewhere these days) gear?

I practiced against a modern defender playing with Gewo Nexxus EL Pro 50 Hard yesterday, and found his counterspins much tougher to handle than before. Had a few hits with it, and my first impression is that it's an excellent rubber.

Gold Arc 8/50°.

I have two, that are quite similar. Both have a conical handle loosely modeled after the Kjell Johanson one, and a head shape/size commonly used in most offensive(ish) blades, abt. 157x150. Koto/Limba/ALC/Kiri/ALC/Limba/Anegre, 5.8mm thick, 89g. Koto/Limba/ALC/Kiri/ALC/Limba/Koto, 6.1mm...

Yes, there is. And you can read up and theorize about this, and a lot of other TT matters, to no end. Yet that’s not all that helpful in feeding and grooming that part of the cognitive, sensory and motoric systems that actually need to grasp this. So read up, but don’t forget to develop the...

I've had good results with https://www.dattblades.com/, proposing and discussing blade designs directly with the blade builder — who's not just sitting there awaiting your orders, but is an opinionated and experienced man who'll really try to think things though with you, sometimes challenging...

I expected a much later delivery, based on previous experiences. That the wheels of global capitalism keep grinding, regardless of how many people get crushed, is no surprise at all. Germany's factories reached peak production as late in the war as '45, I might also add — "business as usual"...

As a quick heads up, I ordered a few slabs of GA8 from TTnPP, and was surprised to find them in my mailbox a mere few days later.

Why, of course. Why wouldn’t he, if that’s what it takes to explain?

Well, I would if I could. But I can’t, so I won’t. Later edit: after watching the actual footage (which I assumed to be on-topic), it turned out not to be (in my opinion). This wasn't LSW sticking it, but about a clearly considered and respectfully played flow of game events. So that "sadly"...

Disagree on the necessity. It’s an open choice, not a necessity. And if and when the choice is between career and being a jurk, I’d say that’s an easy choice. Careers come and go, are fleeting things, but you’ll carry your bad behaviour for the rest of your life.

An apology never hurts. I say sorry when my opponents loses a point through a service error. But I do that because I mean it. I want to earn my points by my gameplay, and everything short of that taints a victory for me. That being said, sincerity matters. I can tell, sometimes, when people...

I think if we all create a giant shitstorm by slobbering all over it we're creating a reality in which JM has become "controversial", "tainted by a scandal". Because we have the power to do so — and maybe, just maybe, the wisdom not to. These standards apply to such a created reality, a...

You extend your arm from your body on an FH hit. Your upper arm/lower arm/wrist swing over a longer distance. On a BH hit, your upper arm is close to the body and nearly all if the travel comes from lower arm and wrist. Same force over a longer distance means greater momentum. And consider...
