My friend Thanh is going to visit his family in Saigon, so we thought perhaps we can arrange a meeting for him to meet some of you and play TT with you... I was thinking about @longle, and other Vietnamese TTD members... He'll arrive to Saigon on 2.7., and leave on 13.7. to Trivandrum, so time...

Thanks, yes, some people are very talented, joy to watch... Still, I wanted to say - well, it's my hypothesis, doesn't have to be true - that I think that some people who are not really gifted muscularly - it sort of forces them to compensate by having a clean and efficient technique and power...

I see that a bit differently, and I think that your interpretation of the "every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" here is a bit misplaced... But let me not go into this now, it's not that important and not what I want and am able to articulate right now (after a celebration ;-)...

Feeling is good, but playing is more important ;-) Let me explain... If the rubber is too soft, then on harder shots (which for most people is more achievable on the FH), the rubber will "bottom-out", and the ball will go too low/straight, it will not make the arc you need, it will go out, or...

By chance, did you have one of the J&H C rubbers (C55, C52.5, C57.5)? I'm curious if the durability will be similar...

This will be a bit unfair. The DFVP was kind of old, I had it on my spare blade, didn't use it much, and now, off-season, I decided to spend it, among others. The first one was C55, I mentioned it earlier. The DFVP was second one, it rel. quickly turned kind of greyish when I started playing...

Anyway, 1 more comment. I just glued a Xuperman H40 rubber (not new) to replace the DFVP H40, and I boosted it slightly to make it flat... And it is now bigger than my blade head, so I'll cut the overlap... This happens always... And that is also why if I do 2 such cycles, the rubber will tend...

Thank you, I thought something is wrong with me...

Common, it's just 1g of booster, 1 small layer... Only to make it flat again, perhaps tiny stretch... Have a compassion, it's hard to glue it otherwise...

I think the same, but @banbekas was speaking about the toilet break, at least so I understood it... Anyway, following is highly hypothetical, but LJK doesn't strike me as coming up with the idea himself. It's more like the idea was planted, like you are taught to use a tool. And that is much...

That's true, but I'd say we are generally not good in things, which we couldn't/didn't practice often - I mean such situation, it's kind of new. Add to that, that he practically entered god mode in that set, then asked himself wtf is happening, 9 points in a row, in a decider??? At the same...

That's whole another level of pesimism.

So, tips for tomorrow? 4:2 for HC or I am being too pesimistic...?

+1 for G09C too. It's a bit softer, easier to engage, also the top-sheet felt a bit softer. The D09C top-sheet needs engagement, it was too much. G09C definitely on full power shots is slower, there I wished for more ompf actually (perhaps only in training). I believe you could enjoy it. C55 is...

His evolution accelerates exponentially. Last year he was on T5 and now within months... Something's happening... I guess it's the solar cycle, or some dark matter halo...

It's closed infinite loop ;-) I don't think you are hindering the development at all. I've been using H3 37 on the BH too, and saw the benefits you describe too. But then I got to state, where in BH rallying, which actually is very often during match, I was not putting enough speed, spin and...

I'd not try to sacrifice 1um from the technique, I'd not think about changing contact at all, it would be contra-productive. Focus on movement, technique, ball, opponent, let the sound or feeling in hand be secondary. Simply the fact that you're playing with another blade will give you chance to...

It's not wrong, it's just preference. I like classic Btfly/ESN cca 47 on the BH and hard chinesse sponge on the FH (like you I also liked C55 but the durability is poor, I'd go for C57.5 now if the durability were better). E.g. now I play with Rakza XX, it is a bit harder, and will not buy it...

Finally! I love that he switched it... I say it all the time, Glayzer is the best BH rubber in the world... He's gonna stay with it the next season, you'll see...

Thanks Sergio, so maybe stay with the current shape and just make it more low balanced.
