  2. New Butterfly rubber "Dignics 05" 2019

    It appears Butterfly has been sticking to an 11-year-cycle since the release of Bryce in 1997, then Tenergy in 2008, and now Dignics in 2019. Like I wrote, ESN's clients got screwed big time after the disaster of 40+ balls and Butterfly has taken this opportunity to strike back with Rozena when...
  3. Hugo Calderano on Team Xiom

    The word Tenergy, when transcribed in Japanese, katakana in this case, is テナジー, te-na-ji/zi-long sound symbol. Except for the schwa sound, it sounds close enough to English. Tenergy is a portmanteau of Tension and energy. I believe most people are aware of this already. Dignics is likely...
  4. Improve my FH topspin

    Set the robot to feed without side spin. Right now, the balls are swerving away from your FH. While reaching to your right to make the shot, it's robbing you of any weight transfer. Feed yourself no-spin/light topspin when starting out.
  5. New 2019 ranking is published

    While the WTTC 2017 was under way, I made the prediction that he'll be anywhere b/w top 10-30 comes 2020, after taking into account of possible fluctuation due to the new ranking system and physiological changes from his age. Well, 2 more years to go!
  6. Hugo Calderano on Team Xiom

    Not like they can anyway. Adidas learned it the hard way.

  12. LGL: Harimoto a Clear Stream of World Table Tennis

    FunnyBunny did a rough translation. I finally got some time to sit down and work on the radio where the interview came from. https://www.paypal.me/gnopgnip https://www.patreon.com/gnopgnip
  13. Yelling When a Point is Won

    Honestly, the writing and formatting feel like this thread was started by a bot trying to mimic how kids write nowadays... Nice 1st post 1 and half year after registration! Must've taken a lot of courage!! All thanks to Harimoto!!!
  14. Chinese Dominance

    Waldner had this stereotypical view of China in his teens. The one thing in common between China in Table Tennis and South Korea in Archery is the unwavering focus on fundamentals from a young age. Philosophy, values, culture, you name it, but laying a robust foundation is considered the...
  15. Butterfly Innerforce series - whats the deal in compare to 5ply/7ply allwood blades?

    Go for a composite blade if you're looking a specific feature that cannot be provided by an all-wood blade. ALC for vibration damping. Innerfiber for all-wood-like touch at low impact yet composite-like power at high impact.
  16. Chinese Dominance

    The comments about the Chinese playing the same and like machine are so hilarious(read ignorant). Please spare 10 mins of your attention on the following video about Archery.
  17. Yuto Muramatsu

    Hirano's cousin is mad at himself for sucking so bad. He's currently also playing in the JTTL.
  18. Who currently has the best backhand in table tennis?

    In terms of speed, ZJK said Harimoto is in the top few. Even though ML has fixed up his BH, he's in no way in the top 5.
  19. Harimoto's serve

    He worked on it after getting trashed by Calderano at the Qatar Open. Look up and compare his matches before and after that tournament.
