  2. Why is this forum so obsessed with the Japanese women's team?

    Japanese women's TT blossomed with the success of the golden generation preceded slightly by Ai Fukuhara, Sayaka Hirano and Kasumi Ishikawa and then the generation itself was Mima Ito, Miu Hirano then Mima Ito then Hina Hayata. Their popularity also made TT more popular in Japan and the Tokyo...
  3. Nagasaki: "I've never liked table tennis that much to begin with..." (#1169)

    Nah, he just makes it clear he enjoys trolling. He thinks calling someone stupid is the same thing as the person saying they (the person) or what they did is stupid. He can't tell the difference.
  4. Butterfly Zyre 03

    I didn’t provide the link but I definitely agree with it. Stiffness is usually about thickness or use of composites to prevent bending but it is definitely relative. Balsa blades are exactly as you described, they are usually thick and soft and hence very stiff because they are thick.
  5. Expedite Rule

    More like keep the tournament running on time and avoid the stress of an abnormally long match on everyone (defenders are consistentl enough to play for hours with pushes). The last Harimoto Hashimoto match had it at the very end. It is usually more common when defenders are playing each...
  6. Expedite Rule

    Its an ancient rule that was developed to prevent choppers from taking hours to complete matches. If you have an alternative do share but it clearly has a legitimate purpose. Many things that are important can be irritating and some get less irritating when you get slightly more used to them...
  7. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Hinoki/Limba outer or any soft outer ply, not very fast like my current blade or a BalsaX Carbo.
  8. WTT London Star Contender - October 2025

    You are a sad human being, and I do not say that lightly.

    Kanak got a terrible draw....
  10. WTT London Star Contender - October 2025

    Have you ever reflected on what kind of person aggressively tries to prove that an incredibly successful hardworking and honest person is an idiot?
  11. WTT London Star Contender - October 2025

    I don't have time to verify, but it is good to realize I don't even have to waste time trusting - thank you for your hard work. He really is a delusional guy.

  13. WTT London Star Contender - October 2025

    Sure. If you call yourself an ass, it probably allows other people to call you an ass, but it says more about their character that they are willing to call you an ass than about you.
  14. WTT London Star Contender - October 2025

    The Butterfly website shows z03 on both sides since Oct 11. Hence the intrigue...
  15. WTT London Star Contender - October 2025

    That's part of the story for sure, but part of the story is also missing - Zyre 03 is spinnier but also faster and it responds to fast hits. But to play all out with power and security and arc and powerful impact, I would argue that D09c is actually better. If your contact is off with D09c, it...
  16. WTT London Star Contender - October 2025

    DQ averages over 11, Harimoto averages slightly under in a 4-2 match - that was really close even if sometimes, it didn't feel like it. Congratulations, Dang Qiu!

  19. Thread about Japanese Players

    Not by much, though without knowing how the events need to be filled out, and how many players are permitted to play per association, it is pretty much speculation.
