I'd call it obscene rather than insane, but well, that's because I happen to think scarcity actually exists, and resource depletion is a thing we should start getting worried about. Or rather, we should have started doing something about decades ago already. But hey, let's hear it for the big...

Certainly, if you use old-school glue.

And Vega Pro may degrade somewhat after extensive play, and not be like new half a year down the road. But it remains playable seemingly forever, if cleaned every now and then. Lively and spinny, lasts long, im my experience.

Me personally, I'd go for (a) something harder than 05fx on the BH, for better blocks and a safer touch game, buf mostly, if it's for blocking I wouldn't go with T05 either. I'd suggest Rozena 1.9mm, staying with Butterfly products. Plenty of options there next to Butterfly, though, some I...

I'm not a better and would not bet on anything. Yet I'd be very, very surprised to see Kong Linghui getting back into grace.

What did he say? Special deals on Corsican deepreds?

Me three (four). Like identical or near-identical rubbers on FH and BH in terms of hardness, speediness, spinlevel, catapult, and I'll probably play with Rozena on both wings for a while once my neck hernia subsides sufficiently.

Is there anything related to mention about Qin Zhijian and Ma Lin? Kong Linghui?

The misguided notion that it would be categorically illegal for a player to hit the ball beyond the (virtual) demarcation of the net is quite prevalent, though.

Bring it on. Yay!

Well, what I tried to describe is the basic thought of thinking about Europe as an external entity. No matter, off-topic, and I might as well not have made that remark at all. (Yet, I find stuff that brings Donne to mind all too tempting. Sorry.)

Calderano's not European, and neither is Pitchford. He's from an island, entire of itself, neither piece of the continent, nor part of the main. Or so it is thought and acted upon over there, o'er the pond.

About €30 or so.

I've never encountered anyone using T25. Which is a pity, since I'm mildly interested - slightly slower than T05 ok, higher arc, focus on counters and over-the-table counterspins, check…

My humble experience says that different things happen while playing differently with different equipment. It's complicated, there's no real-world ceteris paribus and you're not a robot hitting identical robot-fed balls identically regardless of weight, balance, tactile feedback.

No, there can be only one. (Ducks)

When I'm refereeing, anything that interferes demonstrably with the normal flow of play is a let. If the ball dropped and left a wet mark on the rubber: let. If the ball breaks during a rally: let.

Temperament issues?

That does not sound surprising.

“Yossa”. Sorry. Not about me.
