Core stability and ladder training.

Injury.

Maybe. I noticed the top players tend to be rather selective in the tournaments they participate in. So if you're #20 and participating in a tournament, less than 19 out of the other 19 top-20 players will participate. And between these <19 other higher-ranked players, a bunch of them will...

Looks like a payment (by card) processing device to me. No?

Well, maybe being german about the rules isn't the ultimate goal in life?

That doesn't matter. Best results from 8 qualifying tournaments do. And you don't actually necessarily have to beat higher-ranked opponents to get as far as to gain points.

It can be both an endorsement, as in “well done!”, or a rather obscene “go sit on my thumb” insult.

No. Off the top of my head I don’t recall where, but it wasn’t ttnpp. I’ve contacted the seller back then who would take things to DHS distribution up the chain, but haven’t heard back. I’ll be giving the Stiga Perform 40+ *** ABS ball a go in a few weeks. Fingers Xed.

…but will have to be assembled from spare parts? :cool: Anyway, we shouldn't dismiss the up and coming generation that easily. It took Ma Long quite a while to mature and dominate; he had quite a few losses before that by the same reasoning would be judged as a lack of mental strength. That...

I really don't think so, and I don't think it's that easy to overreact to toxicity.

Yes, and methings we all should stop parrotting that "overrated" theme, honestly. These things may start out as a joke, but in the end it's just not funny (if it ever was), and it's just a bit of childish cruelty that remains. That frame of WCT's qualities needing defending, it's just...

The red (orange sponge) is medium hard, but the black (blue sponge) is hard. It used to be tacky a few decades ago, but last time I tried a few slabs they weren’t. Couldn’t lift a ball with it even when new.

Naw, no reason. Der_E nailed it. I prefer it short on the BH and on the descent on the FH. And much like pretty much everything, footwork is key to making the stroke work.

That’s the second mention of red Vega Pro spefically. I’ve played with VP, liked it a lot and am considering trying it again when my T05 wears out. Yet I never did notice substantial difference between red and black. Unlike in some other rubbers (eg 729 sfx).

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dan and Tom hit this well in matchplay before. Sharp stuff! Wow.

I’d buy a bunch!

We talked about that when discussing my blade. Dimitri said: My handles are mostly cedar, ayous & linden which are solid, lightweight woods, along with small pieces of heavier exotic woods like rosewood, zebrawood or padauk for looks (if I am within the desired weight). I avoid using woods...

Hard to tell. To you he seems to be playing well, but the thing is: to our observation, and in our memory, the glorious, epic winners are noted clearly, but the flukes (in serve reception, in slight misses that should have sealed a nearly-won really) sort of fade out. If your son is a prodigy...

Using mine for 4 months now, playing abt 10 hrs/wk. Still playing fine. I don’t use protective sheets, but do religiously clean rubbers after play. High moisture playing conditions do come with the odd ball slip every now and then. The Nanoflex suffers less than the Tenergies under those...

1. Ma Long, 2. Harimoto, 3. Liu Shiwen. What do I win?
