Freitas actually made the top 20 near the end of 40mm celluloid ball and cracked the top 10 after the 40+ cellulose acetate ball was introduced in Jul, 2014. He remained in the top 20 after the 40+ ABS ball was introduced in Apr, 2017. The real reason he dropped out of the top 20 had to do with...

That's why I feel so bad for the guy who started that thread on MyTT a decade ago. That's the cost of raw materials only. Labor, distribution, marketing, depreciation of machinery, administrative expenses...

I have insider info and ESN didn't like the price development of rubber supply. https://www.fleetowner.com/running-green/article/21152253/natural-rubber-prices-are-rising https://www.reuters.com/article/asia-rubber-idUSL4N2HE0BD...

Blame the US. The entire world is paying the price for its greed. The madness started when the price of natural rubber started shooting up like there's no tomorrow after the financial crisis of 2007-2008, that even ESN admitted they felt the squeeze. Butterfly had to increase the price of their...

That's the random guy who suggested hitting Hayata hard. [1], [2], [3] That H3 was brand-new and only had less than an hour of play after spending 3 years collecting dust in its package. Do check out my 59-month-old commercial H3 Neo. Sometimes, I ask myself - is H3 just the rubber, or is it...

WTT Middle East Hub greenlighted, after this and this. https://www.ittf.com/2021/02/16/safety-measures-tightened-wtt-middle-east-hub-olympic-qualifications/

This thread reminds me of the dialog between 2 clubmates a decade ago, a few years before WLQ and then XX and ML started experimenting with H3 on the BH. Clubmate A: Can H3 be used for the BH? Clubmate B: Not that it can't be, but that it'd be a waste. The waste here refers to the trajectory...

It looks like Red Elf intends to help Hirano get up to speed after the All-Japan. She's been playing non-stop. Hayata is likely taking a break, which would be a good chance for her to hone her skills.

I love how people nowadays don't differentiate between the old-school flick and sidespin flick, AKA chiquita, coined by Petr Korbel. 😅

Ironically, the original description for H3 said it was designed for control-oriented players and those with smaller power. 😂

I notice the size limit for profile picture has been increased to 64kB. Is it possible to have that for avatar as well, which is currently limited to 19.5kB? I was thinking of creating a bigger animated gif. 🤔

Check out page 23 in the official catalog. They've started doing that since at least 2019. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?24335-Sponge-hardness-between-FH-and-BH-rubbers&p=328260&viewfull=1#post328260

Sunflex is a Hong Kong-based brand. Its corporate headquarters is in Hong Kong, while production is in Zhongshan. It's the biggest table tennis OEM in the world. Even ESN is small fry by comparison. Sunflex Hong Kong has a partnership with Sunflex Europe.

Samsonov was up 2-0 at Sydney 2000 as well, only to lose 19:21 in the 5th.

Ranking for Jan, 2021 is up. Due to the transition from TSP to Victas, stocks are running out for Swat and Curl, and the latter is even out of the top 10 for some shops. For Butterfly, Rozena still at the top and T05 in 4th. D05 is back in 9th after last placing 7th in Apr, 2019. They have 7...

It's clear there are 2 camps within the ITTF. Given Dainton's guts to get rid of the WTTC and his having good times with LGL without the politics, I won't be surprised if WTT will break off at some point in the future, which is already a private limited company itself...
