Zezima was always capable of doing the not-so brushy shot. He had a closed racket-edging problem, but he fixed that pretty plainly. The posts of pros, the comparison of this to that, well, there is a context for that, but it will always have its limits to someone who is trying to win matches...

IT's not that straightforward on many levels, but the question is partly what you intend to do with the data when it is provided to you. With the chips, there are people who use and need such information, usually engineers. For the equipment on rubber rebound, top pros currently don't use or...

This is an example from NBA basketball, but I wish it applied to some people in TT. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47735259/la-clippers-hot-streak-fan-eat-words

I have seen it in perfectly healthy people, some of whom play feeling based styles, some of whom just hit the ball. and use the extra speed to get quality and like the fact they don't need to do big swings to get it. Sometimes, it is kids who also want to play from distance (most people here...

Would you laugh similarly if an old woman learning to drive took a Porsche out? A Lexus?

It depends on a lor of things. The truth is that sometimes, what you get used to is what you adapt to and breaking off it can be hard. It is also possible and just as easy to start fast and go slower, or all the equipment experts here are advocating by recommending corrective actions. One of...

either is fine. You can do anything you want as long as you don't have matches coming up and you have the money, you will learn something from it as long as you are getting coaching. You have time, you are just too young to know it lol.

Rozena and Glayzer are good rubbers. You can change from them to Dignics or Tenergy, and while that will give you more spin, it's not a good sign when you blame issues with respect to control on Rozena because that is actually what it facilitates best.

Harimoto and Togami and Kawakami did it - where are their crowns?

I get my best reverse serves with it. I honestly don't see the difference vs 05, vs 09c tackiness helps for short serves, but if you serve fast and long Zyre is *much* better.

Your question is important but you are not phrasing it the way most coaches would phrase it. It is important to find a balance between working on a technique and using it in the situations where it occurs. In some psychology of training, it is called "block" vs "random" practice and there are...

Hopefully they don't recommend rubber cleaner as well.... but seriously, take care of your blade, it is a good blade.

They are on the TT TV Japan website. Harimoto vs Matsushima was the semis, Matsushima vs Shinozuka was the finals. https://tttv.jp/video#gsc.tab=0

I am just surprised that there is so little Dignics and hybrid/sticky rubbers. Dignics and Hybrid/sticky rubbers broadly is part of what drives the need for carbon. While it is possible to use Dignics 05 on all wood, it's a very different when you use it something that sends the ball forward...

Sealing or not sealing, you should be fine, the blade is a very durable blade. Maybe I should play with it again lol... a bit too stiff for me,,,

I have used the blade, I never sealed it, and it was fine. But of course, if it makes you feel more secure or you don't have experience gluing or you glue a lot and therefore want to keep the moisture content consistent, then go ahead and seal.

That's true, but it leaves open a lot of things to subjectivity. But as @jk1980 pointed out, lack of rigor affects everyone's argument. Maybe with Spinsight, over time, data will inform more of these choices.

I think this video is a good discussion of some things amateurs get wrong in a way that not only instructs but gives you ideas you can adapt to you and see whether they help or not...

My wife is likely travelling in the last two weeks of May so if it happens then, forget me lol. But early June before the World Cup Starts seems like the most reasonable time IMHO.
