Not my experience at all, I have it on a Garaydia ALC and it plays fine. People should just do what they can handle.

I don't know about "manipulation" but if a sport wants to make money, it finds a way to exploit all the tools at its disposal to create a positive experience for fans and most but not all sports fans are primarily men. Calling it "manipulation" stacks the deck in the argument in a competitive...

The argument has limits - someone created a league where women played in bikinis - not sure the league is still on youtube but it didn't get a lot of views. But I suspect someone got it banned after a while. Or it is still there but dead. What you call promotion is not even close to what I...

As someone who watched this grow, I disagree with "pretty clearly". So what do you mean by accessible narratives when you talk about the other players? And are you fully accounting for the network effects? And I am not sure which vocal users have made their interests abundantly clear...

Looks like Dang is in the avatar state... that was amazing. Probably more impressive than Sunday's final and that is saying a lot.

Hahaha.... Lily will be happy no matter whatever happens. Hayata not so much lol...

Hina Hayata's pressure just went up lol...

This is completely untrue and it is less about denial and more about "what's the benefit of being explicit about something that doesn't belong on public forum"? Unfortunately, the lack of moderators on this site has allowed this angle to go on for too long. A moderator should have nipped this...

Yeah, but it's not like there are 100s of threads on Bernadette Szocs or Christina Kallberg etc. The threads came out of the success of the players first and foremost and then evolving narratives around their intra-national competition. There is absolutely nothing wrong with men liking women...

Isn't it a bit insane to state the obvious as if it is deep insight?

That would be news to me, I haven't heard anyone who doesn't mention his serve as a massive strength of his game.

Han I believe is a short pips chopper.

Hopefully, you will come to Germany next year so I can see the player who is sharing all this wisdom. The primary reason the game looks the way it does today is because of rubber technology. Not blade technology. This is easy to prove/demonstrate. If you took away all the composite blades...

Because the rubber contribution was too large for him to mess with. Tinkering slightly with the blade was much easier.

These are variability experiments: if Wang changed his rubber from Hurricane to Dignics or changed his blade from Viscaria to W968, which would have had more impact on his game? That is the proper framing of the question. Of course anyone can play better or worse by changing equipment, but the...

@IB66, A lot of people post stuff that hints at a low playing level without really having to explicitly admit it. Anyone who with a straight face thinks that the game we play today is determined more by blade technology than by rubber technology is a really not a serious player. Obviously...

While the rubbers are not that far apart, I would struggle to think of any commerciap blade that would reduce the performance of D09c significantly. Obviously, there is a blend of rubber and balde characteristics, but rubber is clearly the reason why we play how we play, it is easier to play...

That would be insane. But Tibhar tables, Tibhar players winning.... it is all in the air...

I don't know whether it is about the country or whether there is an ETTU vendor that specializes in this. But the European countries have a way of doing this really well.

Insane reminder that anything is possible in TT. The result is one thing but the scoreline is completely bonkers as Reilly might say.
