Good to know, thanks. Butterfly and Xiom are very consistent. I saw my friend's racket while the seller was gluing it, and he was using Donic glue. It looked very easy to spread evenly. I tested the racket, it sticks well and feels very good too.

I tried Lidu, Revolution 3 (normal viscosity), Butterfly Free Chack 2, Xiom Pro T-Bond, and Nittaku Finezip 100. I can tell there's a slightly different feeling with each of them. Lidu sticks well, it's cheap, value for money. But don't let the glue stay on unused rubbers for too long. Once it...

I don't. In general, Japanese people would prioritise their own products. I believe this applies to their players at every level as well. They would choose Butterfly or Nittaku over ESN rubbers (even though ESN manufactures some of Nittaku rubbers). IMO You made a good point. Butterfly came...

This rubber or something similar is just like Rozena. They copied Rozena because they knew the rubber was one of the best selling rubbers in Japan. This rubber and Rozena are probably good choices for advanced recreational and club players. I've seen many advanced players use Rozena on their...

Psychically, that's the strongest version of her so far. Her body looks very sturdy and she moved so quick.

I'd tell all the CNT and junior players to throw away their H3 and switch to BTY or ESN rubbers. I bet they'd do better overnight 😂 Some Chinese coaches and players have even recommended this. E.g. Zhu Yuling beat Liu Shiwen after switching to BTY rubbers. She even won the match using BTY's...

IMO, form simply means performing at your expectations within your style of play. Consistency on the other hand is the ability to maintain that form.

They could use natural source e.g. kratom for this. Google says “At low doses, it acts as a stimulant.” Kratom / mitragynine does not appear to be on WADA’s 2026 Prohibited List as a banned substance Kratom – scientifically, it is referred to as Mitragyna speciosa. Plant Family: Rubiaceae (the...

I bet there will be one 😂

It was. Sidorenko should have taken more time before each serve to disrupt Truls' momentum. IMO

In the post match interview Sidorenko indirectly said that Truls was playing mind games against him.

Sidorenko was fast and good. Truls' "dirty" trick in the deciding game almost worked!

Get a red for the second yellow, get replaced immediately by another umpire and get suspended for two matches 😂

I predicted Truls wouldn’t make it to the final. Felix will outpace the heavier Sora. Felix vs. Vladimir will be a dramatic finale.

She was so naive. She should have added some psychology or mind games in Game 5 especially when she had those two match points.

This is so stupid and so right at the same time 😂

If Felix beats his brother, I think he'll be more likely to make the final than Lind. I hope to see Vladimir vs. Felix, but Vladimir vs. Lind would be great too.

I have the same thought. WTT should round the numbers instead of using decimals like 30.4° = 30° and 30.5° = 31°. I think many of us doubt that the VAR can measure with 0.01° accuracy. IMO

You mean against Vladimir Sidorenko? IMO he wasn't choking, Harimoto lost the match outright. Vladimir has been great so far in this tournament.
