Nice to know. In various reviews, the degradation of Zylon is stated as the reason for the Monel coating. Even Toyobo states Zylon must be covered from light source and kept away from humidity. http://pro-review.site/2018/04/05/yamaha-ns-5000-loudspeakers-review-test/...

Vibration Characteristics By A Combination OfTable Tennis Rackets And Rubbers Kai Murakami, Yukihiko Ushiyama, Kei Kamijima

Read the study linked. They sealed the sample from light and moisture, and heat alone still caused a 4% degradation on tensile strength after 210 days at 55C. That is concerning as the condition my blades are stored in could reach upwards of 35C during summer. The cost of keeping the AC on...

Zylon doesn't really dampen vibrations. Only Vectran and now Zxion do, and they dampen both low and high frequencies. There is a JTTA study that shows Zylon behaves really close to all-wood.

Found a paper from 2005 by Boeing testing the Zylon - http://www.tc.faa.gov/its/worldpac/techrpt/AR04-45P3.pdf The Zylon sample lost 10% of tensile strength after being stored in a dark closed container(but not hermetically sealed) at room temperature(70F/21C) for 1 year. That essentially...

You may keep the light and moisture out, but the heat will still cause it to degrade, albeit at a much slower rate. Long-term storage in the southern hemisphere becomes a problem.

Thai media feeling stoked about Sawettabut for becoming the first Thai ever to play in WWC. I guess she's going. https://www.smmsport.com/reader/article/21403 https://sport.trueid.net/detail/DjeBMzYexYpd LYJ, CCY, CYC are confirmed for the time being. https://sports.ettoday.net/news/1805653...

JJH set to play, but after having trouble procuring Viscaria Golden, she has trouble getting flight tickets to China. http://www.kstnews.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=7911 Jeon Ji-hee (28, POSCO Energy), the signboard of the Korean women's table tennis team, is preparing to participate in...

Researchers have recently found a new way to produce Zylon that resists degradation when exposed to light and moisture. Basically, they replace the polyphosphoric acid(PPA) that causes it with some composite nanoparticle catalysts. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191009132419.htm...

I have yet to read any good reviews for Revoldia.

According to Stiga Japan, only available in FL and PEN. Banda Carbon has an inner construction.

Oh, I never miss anything about my idol!

Naughty TV Tokyo...:rolleyes:

Let's take a look at badminton. BWF has been looking to restart but has thus far failed. They wanted to implement 3 bubble events in Denmark in October. Thomas and Uber Cup is now postponed to 2021(see next paragraph). Denmark Masters is cancelled as well. The fate of Denmark Open remains...

World Team Cup 2011. Russia almost beat China in QF of the MT event, losing 2-3. No one remembers it because it's Russia, right? Kirill Skachkov took 2 points in M2 and M3, against MLin and MLin/WH, respectively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqthirMqO44

August ranking shows the Japanese market is back to the pre-Dignics days. Mark V is the tardigrade of table tennis. https://world-tt.com/renew/ranking?gryr=202008

Kayama's dad played against Matsushita. Kayama's son played against Uda. :p

Well, that post was what got me started following Hayata! Ito and Hirano were already making their ways up the ladder at the world stage. Compared to them, Hayata was far less impressive in her cadet days. So, it stuck in the back of my mind because I wanted to see how it would turn out.
