  1. What Happened to Miu Hirano?

    The 5th and last members will be determined in the 1st stage of Japan Top-12. Doubles and Mixed will be determined by the board. JTTA says the lineup will be heavily tilted toward those who are internationally competitive and have the most potential of beating CNT, where yours truly pointed...
  2. Why do some defenders chop on the forehand and some don't.

    Because they can't. The success of Ding Song has led to a wave of modern defenders that don't know how to chop on the FH.
  3. My BH topspins are very flat, need more arc and spin

    No, you don't. Butterfly has your back covered. What you need is not better technique, but better rubber and Butterfly has just the latest and greatest model designed for players like you! D05 - with 22% higher arc than T05.
  4. EJ dust spraying is killing off valuable TT forum contributors

    No, just a kid. Though, the good thing with being a kid is you don't dwell on it and just move on.
  5. EJ dust spraying is killing off valuable TT forum contributors

    It's painful. China and Hong Kong suffered what I call the "C-pen Purge" during the 90s. To give you an idea of the extent of impact, together with my friend, I remember getting turned down at the door just because the club manager wanted only shakehand players to join because they already had...
  6. EJ dust spraying is killing off valuable TT forum contributors

    It's definitely easier to get more spin. Though I feel folks get a bit excessive on that aspect, because you'd still need sufficient swing speed to make good use of it. Very uncommon nowadays. The last wave of penholders are from the 80s to 90s. Many of them have converted to shakehand...
  7. EJ dust spraying is killing off valuable TT forum contributors

    Yup, and that's after 3 years of hiatus. I've slowed down a lot and my FH has actually gotten a lot weaker.

    Just gonna leave this here. Since many say H3 unboosted is unplayable. Viscaria/crappy H3 Neo/Hexer HD that was 59-month-old. Glued with Haifu water-based. Never boosted. Never came off the blade once. Played with DFish 40+, the shitty cellulose acetate. A week or 2 later, Swat/crappy...
  9. Xu Xin's Equipment

    At one point, XX played with the YEO for a short while and got into trouble with Stiga.
  10. What Happened to Miu Hirano?

    What Hirano is going through is psychological in nature, as opposed to technical and tactical. She is aware but she just can't get over it.
  11. USA Olympic selection process change

    I'll just quote what she said in an interview last May: "学会放下。(learn to let go.)"
  12. Story of TT - How the chinese found the tacky hard rubber and what they used before?

    The answer is in the OP's setup. There is a very intriguing story behind.
  13. Reverse dome on rubbers

    That's exactly how the very 1st generation of Tensor behaved, around the year 2000. They came out of the package with a reverse dome. The "technology" involved was very primitive. They just stretched the sponge before gluing the topsheet onto it.
  14. Reverse dome on rubbers

    Tensor = A thing that tenses up. Proof that you got the real deal.
  15. Oshima Vs Harimoto 4:3

    Not really. You don't need a counter game plan for that. If you've followed the scene long enough, you'd notice that South Korean players are among the streakiest, yet have produced many if not the most powerful upsets in memory. Many of them share one common trait - high risk, high reward...
  16. Japan National Championships 2019

    I have them. I also have many of the matches over the 7 days of competition.
  17. Oshima Vs Harimoto 4:3

    Aside from the pressure, Oshima actually came up with a game plan that sealed Harimoto's BH - step-around FH like there's no tomorrow and serves to his deep BH. Harimoto's game feels "hollow" whenever his strongest weapon loses effect. He is aware of it as he mentioned that in a TV program...
  18. Which balls are the worst

    Oh, ya. Butterfly G40+ = German shit Nittaku Premium 40+ = Japanese quality yet expensive shit DHS D40+ = Chinese but hands down THE shit
