Nu rubr. Fancypantsly sponged. We’re countering, but we’re not so good at it. Not obvious what part the rubber plays in that. Loops are better. There’s much more kick off the table (but we’re not showing it). Also tried the short game, but alas, it takes two to tango. [emoji30]

Over her in our little neck of the woods it's been bat ever since people recall playing TT.

I have yet to find a GEWO rubber I didn't like. The Nanoflex FT48 I found to be an outstanding European tensor; the only reason I'm not using it anymore is that in the end I considered it to be speedy above my skill level. The entire Nexxus series is outstanding; we have high-level players...

Not to make too much of a point of it, but things lacking quality have no value. For junk, any price is too high. Saying this to myself too; being human, I'm quite open to the "bargain!" fallacy and have made that mistake often. Last time I got burned was when buying a gross of the DHS D40+...

My crystal ball is muddiasfuk.

That’s no news! They’ve been doing separate WTTCs for a number of categories of people apparently suffering from ‘aberration from the golden standard’ disabilities for years already. Women, lefthanders, the otherwise physically or mentally disabled…

In general, it only works (for me anyway) when it’s mindless.

Found some 2+ years old footage at https://vimeo.com/223040059. That was when I just started playing again and while recovering from injury, I'd like to think I'm hitting quite a bit better now. Still, the long stroke (which also makes me move away from the table too much) and the midswing...

I see no reason to spend 600£ on TT equipment. A new pair of shoes every year (or two), a set of new rubbers twice or thrice a year, that's it unless I break my blade (knock on wood). About €200-250, no more, and over that amount something is just going to gather dust in a closet and fall prey...

Trying to hit loosely, fully relaxed, is my main focus right now. My approach towards that is indirect; I've found that going directly towards a goal, keeping laser focus on it, doesn't help keeping things relaxed. So my indirect approach is to focus on breathing in and out while powering an...

I was actually expecting the announcement of a new net construction, consisting of the existing net ("undernet") and a supplanting net on top of that ("overnet"), with a 5cm (~2") gap inbetween and touch sensors embedded in the edge bands of both over- and undernet, today.

There's a lot of talk about shortening strokes, but very little on how to actually acomplish a shorter stroke. My technique was built around 1980. I won't even mention serving, which the rule changes turned from strength to a constant struggle, but at that time we had compact over-the-table...

Ah, Butterfly Dignics 09C. Keep talking, baby, while I'm regressing more and more towards the first (or so) tensor generation. Still, there's an entire new brand in there, Barna Original. AFAIK Victor Barna's been gone for nearly half a century now, so that's sort of surprising and very...

These are assertions, not questions.

Don't be. I do think Mattias earned it more, but that's TT too sometimes.

Don't nobody be telling me the Dragon is in poor form. He most certainly stood his ground, and more, against that prince of princes Xu Xin.

Not all days are peak days, not even for the young. A single day’s performance does not tell all.

He's married Felicia Other-Post Below, and is now listed as "Other" in these polls.

Wow. What a fourth game there. Ma Long is back!
