  1. ITTF/WTT problems reported from players

    In real business, unless you are dealing with a corrupt government or a mafia, you are not dealing with a party that has the right to penalize you and not pay you.
  2. ITTF/WTT problems reported from players

    Someone else pointing out that they were happy that Dang and Kallberg lost in Incheon so they could be back in time for German league matches on Sunday. I can't believe that WTT is clueless about what they are doing, there essems to be some deliberate incompetence driving this.
  3. Want to improve need Feedback!

    Toby is exactly the kind of player you ideally want to get some of what he does into your game. When he gets easily opportunities of his serve or his pips, he loads his body to prepare a powerful shot. The loading is in the legs and completed by a whippy arm motion. Since you want to crack...

    Since people like you have never seen play with a few exceptions are giving you a lot of technical advice, let's discuss strategy a little and some of the things that you need to solve that may get you points in the short term and the frame work I apply to these things. The framework I like to...

    Thanks, I see that now. Hopefully, your line of thinking will improve the current situation. Cheers!
  7. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    I have indulged my worst instincts a bit too much on this thread, in the absence of anything new and substantive, I point back to my original post to Viper, which was all I really needed to say...
  8. Pro talks About Why He doesnt discuss his equipment

    Have you been body snatched? Who is this coach? Why are you listening to him? What changed?

    Comes with maximum sacrifice without maximum reward. Pretty tough.

    Butterfly Flextra, Gozo? Are you on tranquilizers?
  11. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    Yes I am talking about those with what you call "integrity", especially those who admit they might play better with boosted rubbers, but don't do so for reasons of "integrity". I get that in your view of morality, people who have families to feed and might be able to feed them better by...
  12. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    There is lots of additional context that would also permit boosting in addition to the other chemical treatments like using sweat or breath once you expand your imagination. Usually, when someone says "I do not see how..", it is less a fact of reality than just limited imagination, whether they...
  13. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    Yes, this is true. But if you believe that one of the goals of rules and of regulatory bodies is to promote fairness/transparency while balancing other considerations, this rule and its lax enforcement promotes some of the things that encourage the gap between the game we enjoy and the game the...
  14. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    There are players who follow the rules for personal moral reasons. Or who do not have enough sophistication to know the nuances. People are being forced into moral conflicts where it isn't clear these conflicts should exist.
  15. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    Again, semantics over substance. Based on a rule that would prevent us from even breathing on our racket or cleaning it, we have deemed boosting illegal. When we look at it in practice, the result is that if you are a top player with manufacturer support, you can legally do things to your...
  16. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    Not really, I think that using semantics to adjudicate an issue without looking at implications is a dangerous approach to many things. Viper is more comfortable with the fact that the boosting is illegal than the implications of what he is claiming on the lives of individuals and TT players...

    And maybe every time you glue it at well. Isn't gluing a chemical treatment? Especially when some of these glues have different levels of adhesion with the sponge and the blade?
