Can find a Vanderbilt paper anywhere. Seems to be something that showed up in a report that the newspapers picked up and hasn't be peer reviewed or exposed to independent audit...

This is true. That said, with other countries, you also have other confounders if you are thinking about the problem scientifically. In fact, I believe that the main reason why people overestimate the impact of masks is that they look at what happened in East Asian countries and focus on mask...

I agree with this - I do think the first paper is bad but I agree with the overall message. One of the things that led me to start taking potential issues with masks seriously was when Deborah Cohen of BBC Newsnight said that the WHO recommendations on mask wearing changed not because of new...

I have looked at the Kansas study - if the study were against masks, you would see the problems with it more clearly. Even before the study was published by the CDC, Kansas had used it to advocate mask use. And critics noticed the problem (see the article below from the WSJ). Kansas Health...

I agree on Vitamin D, which for whatever reason is not advertised by the CDC or the media, but arguably has much stronger evidence in its favor than masks, especially for the dark-skinned, ethnic minority populations in the Northern hemisphere that are affected by covid19...

For people interested in the measures the ICC took and the details of their experience with covid19 before this incident, a thread is here: http://mytabletennis.net/forum/topic89239_page2.html#1106109 FWIW, I find a lot of the posts here to assume a bit much about the state of covid19 in...

This.

There is a recent blade review video.

BTW, I have tried to list the Mazunov (so I can review it) in the equipment center. No one has processed my request for whatever reason...

I would beg to differ for a serious high level offensive player. Samsonov comes to mind...

Well, let's just say that I am playing people good enough to handle my spin, so it can't be all I have. Moreover, the blocking capabilities of the Mazunov are unparalleled. Just saying...

Yep, it is on youtube for sure in the USA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0f0gXeGiNI

That was when I still thought spin was effective. It doesn't get you quite what it used to with these ABS plastic balls. Also I step back a bit more often now. Hard to loop the ball with a short stroke without knees with those slower blades. Even worse if you are blocking a couple of feet...

The 5 point games were for seeding the top 4 players - why is this left out whenever we talk about the 5 point games? Does anyone want the top players to expend energy in games to 11? Or we would rather the games not be played than to see them play 5 point games? I liked seeing the games...

The best player I know who started as an adult uses a JM SZLC. The Mazunov is the only thing that I know comes close in speed that is all wood. How you guys use those slowish looping 7 plies, I really have no clue.

Nothing special vs a Korbel. You can get one under 100g and there are ways to manage the weight. Definitely a spinny blade that can compete with fast composites. Now more OFF than OFF+.

Wrist effect is misconceived, ultimately the speed/acceleration rotational element of the contact is all that matters for spin and the wrist isn't the only thing generating this. I find it interesting that no one brings up the Mazunov. For a combination of speed and feeling as an all wood...

Definitely not the same for everyone and sometimes, not even the same for the same person at two different points in their life. People also underestimate the impact of the inner plies as well. I personally prefer the feeling of Ayous to Kiri, and I find that in many cases more important than...

It was fun for Gustavo to remind us why not all Chinese players are certainties to win vs international competition at any given time.
