The news has been spreading on Chinese forums for a few days. Butterfly China has finally made a press release. Starting Jul. 16, 2018, the MSRP for Rozena will be adjusted down from ¥390 to ¥190 in China, and from $390 to $245 in Hong Kong. Any news for the rest of the world?

In before Der_Echte... Purely guessing from RSM's demo, it appears to me he is emphasizing on weight transfer to increase the oomph and assist the recovery, by shifting/directing it downward on the leading foot at the end of the stroke.

That's how they used to do it. Points accrued stayed forever. That's what led to campers and the upward flow became even more difficult the higher you went, hence the reform. You don't play for a year? You disappear on the ranking list. You don't renew your membership? Your points get...

He can't reach the top even in the best case scenario(winning the Opens in Korea and Australia). He'll be a little over a hundred points away.

Well, let's just say all these under-whatever events make it easier to manipulate than a division system. I could see why the USATT stays with the current system as it works pretty well for the geography and population. Most people could only make it to 1 or 2 tournaments a year due to travel...

First thing I did after the jump was scroll down to the comment section, only to find it's gone missing. I miss the days where people could bash Ian Marshall...

The same can be said for USATT rating where people sandbag just to win in U1200 for the bragging rights. This is a problem even for the division system, we have former Division A players playing in Division E. So tell me about it.

Division or class system suffers the same problem, so long as the points never expire. HKTTA uses the division system and people could camp on their points forever, as long as they pay their membership fees. That's why HKTTA started reforming the ranking system similar to the ITTF, where the...

Just noticed 2 lines were missing in the sub and the sync was totally broken from 10:38-13:34. Now fixed.

ITTF intends to turn the World Tour into a league of its own with the Diamond Tier, but not just any other league by tying it to the World Ranking. By separating it from the traditional tournament structure, they get much freedom to play around with the rules because they don't have to go...

TL;DR The World Tour is now a separate vehicle to slip in rule changes under the disguise of Diamond Tier on the pretext of professionalization, using prize money and stardom as bait to get players to embrace the said changes. The full story The tournament structure has been split into 2, the...

It's reported the Diamond Tier will be a singles event, limited to 20 players only, and played with "diamond rules". T2 is incorporated into the World Tour because they couldn't secure any broadcast sponsors, and it counts towards the World Ranking to make it relevant, so that it's more than...

Here comes another sub upon Fabian's request. Also on my Patreon. This is a condensed version of the original 17-minute-long video. I might sub it if response is high.

No, he posted on Weibo at the beginning of this year that his coaching career has come to an end. Nowadays, he is mostly on variety shows.

Anything is possible at this point. Russia wouldn't be out of the question. :cool: Realistically, France has a good chance, from what I've seen so far.
