Let's call Ma Long the GOAT en Dimitrij Ovtcharov the GOTY. Will that make you happy?

No argument there. Yet it's quite hard to keep a clear distinction in writing and speech between the real #1 and the fake ITTF #1. Still, quite a feat for Dima, even if he's no Ma Long (HAAAARIMOTOOOOOOOOOOOO!).

Aaaand Dima is #1!

And a nailbiter it is. Dima ties it to 3-3.

Tough match so far! Dima really needs to give his all if he’s going to earn that #1 spot.

Why, of course. The statement that it is the heavier blade that packs the punch was made under the ceteris paribus condition. If you have two Viscarias, one 80g and one 90g, the 90g one can be expected to yield the larger e, m being greater, under the assumption that v is not significantly...

Heavier blades pack more punch.

Yes, I think Vega Pro is probably the safer choice. I don’t know about beginners, Vega Pro is already a fast, spinny rubber with much to offer at mire advanced levels. Have a look at Lennart Wehking’s review on ‘tube to get a glimpse of that. Personally, I like harder rubbers and I did not get...

Rakza 7 is spinnier and much more explosive. Pretty demanding in the short game, nigh uncontollable in passive play. Very rewarding in active play, sometimes yielding unexpectedly high spin levels.

Tenergy 05 is rumored to be a viable alternative to MX-P indeed, and at 2.1mm it has a slightly lower weight/surface ratio than MX-P at 2.2mm (±0.23g/cm2 versus ±0.24g/cm2), which amounts to about 2-3g difference per cut sheet.

You are putting up items for sale, and I happen to know you received direct messaged (non-public) about them. Maybe you missed them?

DM is the go to place, right?

Does anybody have any results? Dec 7 was soooo yesterday, yet no results on http://t2apac.com, and no results here, and the evil overlords at TheGugl™ point at previous results only, and while at it, the results found are on a petty little site that doesn't allow access unless you agree to a...

This is all such an enactment of generals following the learnings of last century’s battles. TV is a thing of the past. It lost its relevance a decade or so ago, and the smell of the last remnants of its bloated corpse is nigh unbearable. We should let it go. Synchronously watching a small...

Still crazy about it, after all these years, best blade I've ever held. Still. Sometimes I feel should be composing sonnets to revel in its glory. Every now and then I stray from it, thinking maybe something slower, something with a different feel, but these forages in the end only lead me...

You trickster you!

I'm of the Yogi school here. Flat hits are also important, it's not just spin spin spin for all and any; and there's also beauty in defensive play, with chops, passive and active blocks, chopblocks, lobs, kills on weak attacks — and there's also this learning curve thing, in which you need to...

Looks like a mild sidespin, nospin or very light topspin on the top/under axis. Dimas return is a well-placed push.

Well, in BTY-land there's the Viscaria, Timo Boll Spirit, Timo Boll ALC, Zhang Jike ALC. Of the ones of these I ever held the TB ALC had the most flex, which still doesn't amount to all that much flex. My (Andro) Treiber K is very similar to the TB ALC I held, and I prefer the Treibers...
