Fan Zhendong is boosting TT attendance in Europe as always... between possibly letting thr world know that D09c is not worse than Hurricane and playing as a reigning Olympic and National Games Champion in Europe, he might do more for TT than a lot of visionary administrators.

The round of 16 matche are taking place the past few days and have been streamed live on YouTube. Burning question: who is this Y. Tao penholder who has the audacity to beat Anton Kallberg and Li Yongyen? https://www.youtube.com/live/NR380HWjStY?si=DaGqKv1gShZfsImY

Sometimes, it comes down to feeling. I know strong players who liked C1 on both sides and I have used C1 on both sides as well. But if you clearly prefer the feeling of G1, it can be used in both sides for sure. The differences in spong hardness are not that great (but they are meaningful for...

Civil War in German league.

I think it was in Ontario, California the last two years or something. Or at least the period when Jinbao won. I used to go to Nationals a few years when it was in Vegas so I know that dynamic though I hear it is slightly different now and that everything isn't subsidized by gambling like it...

Hey, its better than my Japanese for sure! So it is English to me lol!

WTF... last year's finalist eliminated juat like that....

The one time I did try it on an all wood blades, I beat my opponent the worst i havw ever beaten him. The problem was that when I practiced with it in my coach, I couldn't generate qualiry consistently in certain rallies. But I will try it again on an all wood blade for sure, I am way from home...

Ryan Lin is not on the US National team for seniors. So it says something about Chulong Nie's range which is not dissimilar to many pips players... unless someone found a way to make him use correct rubbers lol...

Harimoto with the English!

Other than playing level you could be describing me lol

You are 100% correct. I am just trying to be funny.

It is the real Jekyll and Hyde rubber. Seriously. I am close to giving up my Viscaria SALC experiment. I will try a couple od all wood ones and *maybe* a Harimoto one. But for me it is easier to do what I do with other rubbers the problem is that seductive Zyre drive that happens once in a...

Now you are making me think and I don't think i have ever played the US Open before. I should plan on it sometime but when.... who knows.... with TTD next year, it is unlikely but you never know.

Thanks. Seems innerforce blades have their performance more sensitive to weight in my experience.

How heavy was yours?

Very funny.

I am giving you some rope because you have posted on the site before with some classic rare blades (you linked to the thread). But usually, we do require a bit more picture evidence than this. Good luck with it!

No, it will not affect play and at the risk of doing anything damaging to the blade, IMO, it is not worth addressing. A blade ultimately is something of a dance partner, you adapt to it as much as it works for you. And that is not in the hitting region of any stroke and the depression itself...

Ma Jinbao qualify?
