    Not bad. 363% over the goal. Roughly US$103,000.
  2. Tokyo 2020 | 2020/7/24-8/9

    Roughly a week before Abe's resignation, Tokyo Shoko Research released a poll conducted with over 12,800 corporations between 7/28-8/11. Only 22.5% think Tokyo 2020 will be held as planned, 27.8% think it should be canceled, 25.8% think it should be postponed again, 5.3% think it should be held...
  3. 2020 World Team Table Tennis Championships

    Never knew Japan would be this "far-left." Rallys even published an article on that. Lefties in Japanese table tennis are heavily over-represented even compared to baseball and badminton. https://rallys.online/read/southpaw-0407/ Reminds me of Grubba, a lefty, playing with right hand...

  6. 2020 World Team Table Tennis Championships

    Right. No doubles. https://world-tt.com/go4t/post_news/5894 On August 26th, the T-League announced the match format and competition rules for the "2020 JAPAN All-Star Dream Match" (remote match[TL's note] on September 14th). The tournament will be a two-part system. The first part will be...
  7. Why do Asian tt players mature earlier than Europeans?

    I wonder how old the OP is? Try looking up the age of those European players when they won the WTTC and World Cup in the 80s and 90s. Also check out the players at Seoul 1988. Boll would've been just another player back in the days. Take Samsonov, for example, who actually peaked really...

    Hirano has pulled out due to lower back pain. To be replaced by Nagasaki. http://www.iza.ne.jp/kiji/sports/news/200829/spo20082912240047-n1.html https://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/202008300000119.html
  11. DHS Hurricane G / Ji - koto or ayous?

    DHS says the FH side is harder than the BH side, so it's either limba/ayous or koto/limba. The #9 post in that pingpangwang thread mentions the Hurricane Ji is the commercial version of W965, which has the limba/ayous top plies. Those pictures appear to have been taken from this Tieba thread.
  12. Rubber quality

    Show this to them. The blade and rubbers you have there are fine for beginners. Practically any 5-ply all-wood blades from Yasaka and Stiga are good for penhold when paired with Chinese tacky rubbers. Pick a weight between 80-85g depending on your BH rubber and your level. Yasaka Sweden...

    Rumors have it that the reason behind Abe's resignation has to do with the "cancellation theory." https://www.sponichi.co.jp/society/news/2020/08/29/kiji/20200829s00042000107000c.html "There are rumors that the Prime Minister heard that the Olympic Games will be extremely difficult next year...
  14. I need a slower Viscaria alternative

    According to the official family tree of ALC blades, Maze(if you find it) and Freitas ALC are the easier-to-use versions of Viscaria.
  15. DHS Hurricane G / Ji - koto or ayous?

    That guy doesn't have the answer either. He "double-checked" by just referring to the post on the official DHS Weixin on 6/24 where it says limba for FH and ayous for BH. However, in another post on 6/12, it is said to have ayous for FH and limba for BH. Lost in correction. :rolleyes: Below...
  16. DHS Hurricane G / Ji - koto or ayous?

    What I meant is practically all 5+2 blades(instead of calling them 7-ply composite) are structurally based on 5-ply all-wood, with a thick core. You won't find 7-ply all-wood structure in a modern 5+2 looping blade. If it's unusual to see a 5-ply all-wood with an ayous top ply, what's your...

    Another blow to Tokyo Olympics. It's reported Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan, is set to announce his resignation over health concerns. Official press conference at 17:00 local time.
  19. DHS Hurricane G / Ji - koto or ayous?
