  1. Return of International TT Matches

    Hirano and Sato will join the ones above. All of them will travel at their own expense and JTTA will not dispatch any staff to accompany them. https://rallys.online/forplayers/200926jtta02/
  2. BANDA by Stiga - new blades

    Banda was not a sub-brand of Stiga but used to be a separate manufacturer based in Eskilstuna, Sweden that was established originally as an import company importing Japanese balls in the 60s. Banda started producing blades and tables in the 70s and gained fame when Waldner was sponsored by the...
  3. Return of International TT Matches

    NHK reports that Ito, Harimoto, Ishikawa and Niwa are confirmed for MWC, WWC, ITTF Finals and WTT Macau. Will spend 3 days in Shanghai to take the PCR test and then 14 days in quarantine. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20200926/k10012636431000.html
  4. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    A few days ago, Miyazaki answered popular questions on equipment in a series of tweets that highlights the actual game is far more than just physics. Some things are just the way they are. https://twitter.com/donata_japan/status/1308191536652328960 Yoshihito Miyazaki @donata_japan · Sep 22 It...
  5. Butterfly introduces Lin Gaoyuan ZLC and SZLC Blades

    Reactions are more mixed on bilibili. Same trend on Tieba after they learn the list price. Some comment this release is just another Matryoshka doll. Some wonder what's different from ZJK SZLC and Harimoto SZLC. Some question what has LGY achieved to merit this? Some comment why not release...
  6. Return of International TT Matches

    Sempai: I can entertain.
  7. Return of International TT Matches

    One thing is certain. Whatever the doubles pair may be, it will be the weakest ever since the team event was inaugurated in 2008. Still, that doesn't mean other teams are necessarily stronger. As LGL put it, they could drop 1 or even 2 matches and still take gold, but they only have 1 shot in...
  8. Return of International TT Matches

    https://www.ittf.com/2020/09/25/2021-event-hubs-announced-kick-off-wtt-era/ Europe b/w late May and mid June? I guess they expect Asian associations to boycott it?
  9. Yasaka Rakza Z and Rakza Z Extra Hard rubbers

    I guess this is an example of priming. Perhaps that's why they don't release D09c under its own model line. Butterfly has never advertised longer durability for D09c, only D05, D80 and D64. https://www.butterfly.co.jp/product/dignics/sheet.html
  10. Butterfly introduces Lin Gaoyuan ZLC and SZLC Blades

    Ugliest SZLC ever! First time I don't wanna buy Butterfly because of looks. Still, many replies indicate otherwise. As for ZJK, he still has a lot of pull. He said this much at the official opening of the new Butterfly building in 2018, suggesting he's signed a contract for another 10 years...
  11. Return of International TT Matches

    Pecking order: Pre-11/2018 DN≈ZYL, CM, LSW≈WMY, CXT, SYS Pre-4/2019 DN, CM, WMY, SYS, LSW Post-4/2019 LSW, CM, DN, SYS, WMY Pre-4/2020 LSW, CM, DN≈SYS 2021 ?, ?, ?, ? ZYL's role at Rio 2016 will be the baseline for SYS. That's obvious by now, given all indications after WTTC 2019. If DN...
  12. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    What a difference in attitude. https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=379722 http://mytabletennis.net/forum/integrated-tension_topic70147_page1.html Now for some numbers. Sales of Spring Sponge series took a 20% hit in Q2 2020.
  13. Return of International TT Matches

    Perhaps that's due to the ITTF Finals being considered as a separate event? The points from the 2019 WTGF won't expire until 2021. I take it LSW and ZYL not playing in the ITTF Finals indirectly means that Thailand is still considered the host of the WWC? In that case, DN will at best play in...
  14. End-of-Sale for Spinart

    Another round of discontinuation. Among them are the entire Hardraw series and the "Quality First" Master Quality G40+. Along with the regular G40+ that was discontinued early this year, the G40+ series finally bites the dust. Ads lie, but markets don't. Boll still gets paid. See full list...
  15. Return of International TT Matches

    Sterling? 925?

  17. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    Sadly, Aida has given up on Mark V HPS and changed to Rakza Z and Rising Dragon since 2019. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8KJvNsNJWgp
  18. Lifespan of Zylon (PBO)

    I will refer them to your post when people complain about the longevity of Tensors. What's 10% when I could work with a 59-month-old Hexer HD? After all, hard-headed engineer has told us off repeatedly:
  19. Lifespan of Zylon (PBO)

    The pros can go through blades like toilet papers. I can't. The thought of Zylon weakening to less than Vectran a few years down the road... A few years back there was an incident where the Zylon tether was deemed unsafe because it was cut and isn't covered...
