I just missed where that was said in the video and was asking for a reference. No need to resort to name calling, we all make mistakes. You admitted to making one when you claimed Timo's rubbers were tuned for him, but had no reference to support it. In the video, Timo goes further and says...

He will pick the third option - develop something new and then have Joola make an inferior commercial version of it that they can make money off while the special version that wins events will be available to Hugo himself alone. PS: To be clear, this is the position I am pushing back on.

What does "customize" mean in that context for Heming Hu, since the same phrase will be used for top players but with clearly different connotations but which are not always clear to a outsider? That is what I am pushing back against, this belief that a top pro (Ma Long, Fan Zhendong) is always...

Okay - I have to go ERT - I hate going ERT: It is true that companies can and do in some cases give certain things to their top pros that they do not give to other players or the public. This is more true for rubbers than for blades but even then, this is overstated to claim that pros get...

So did Timo say the blades were customized for him? And how?

I thought it was relaunched but maybe not. We are discussing whether it is some special privilege of pros or whether usually, it is in the best of interests of the companies to make these things commercially available and they just don't do so not because they are especially privileging the...

The W968 is commercially available. Even when Schlager won with a Primorac Carbon and the Schlager Carbon was created, the Schlager Carbon was commercially available. Anyone can get a custom blade made by Butterfly at expense to them, pros just don't have to pay. But this is a different...

In the cases I have heard this rumored, alternative blade the player actually uses is either commercially available (and sometimes more expensive) or just something that evolved with a switch in preferences on the part of the player which it would not really be worth it to adjust the commercial...

Thanks. Again, you're the one calling them special, ZJK said he got exactly the same thing with respect to Viscarias, they just don't make the blades look exactly the same as the commercial and number them differently as they are tracked as part of a different inventory process. Most people...

As with all things like this, we tried to just do *something* and the basic something didn't work as planned. So while it is likely possible, it isn't trivially easy. Speed measurements came through (as those can be done on any ball) but spin was inconsistently measured and often wrong when...

I probably spoke a bit early but the Japanese national champs as well as a few interesting WTT events are this month - the picture will be clearer after. But if Togami doesn't beat all comers, his limitations will be blatantly obvious. You could see them vs Fan (though to be fair, everyone...

No you can't, the blade is made of rare materials available only to Xiom. You don't have access to these rare materials... wood and axylium... the racket was also forged in a Korean kiln... you don't have access to that either. So how will you make the blade? (just kidding...)

You are being too kind. No announcement or updates to members - this is really pathetic.

You have a membership platform as well?

Ryusei Kawakami won the WJTTC at the age of 16. Beat Coton and Wen. If that age and victory is as predictive as it has been in the past, he is a ticking time bomb, good luck to the rest living on borrowed time, we just don't know when he will fully explode.

For how much? Send me a PM.

Have you used it before and what was your experience? How did this error rate factor in?

I tried it today. Pretty fascinating. My max forehand spin was around 120 with my average on my comfortable loop around 110 and it was interesting that it didnt change much with rubber or blade, only that I felt more consistent and could hit a bit harder even if the ball wasn't always fast...

I just put it away for a very long time with fresh sheets. Forgot about it for two months.

He is comparing Butterfly rubbers though
