I thought you were making a good joke, until my friend told me his mother thought he was watching porn!

I think Dima is using this blade. Going through the whole story about losing to Samsonov and looking for something with more feeling to lie in a review is a bit too much.

https://butterflyonline.com/Templates/BladeSpecifications.pdf If you look at that chart, the Balsa Carbo X5 has less speed and less feeling than a Primorac. That blade appeals more to people who like to use their own power (extreme control) and don't care about feeling the ball per se because...

She has a good lefty partner and she does attack serves - her footwork and forehand are still issues. Sunday will be interesting.

All American mixed doubles final on Sunday as Lily and Kai and Amy and Nikhil both remain undefeated.

I had a credit at a store that I could use to buy the Hadraw. And I generally don't like custom stuff as I can't benchmark it.

A bit disappointed that Darko couldn't finish the job but it is okay.

Congrats, DE. Long overdue and well deserved.

That is still enough. You need to strong singles players to win a teams matchup. The third player can lose matches. Chen is much stronger than people have noticed, I have been impressed with his backhand improvement.

Amy Wang isn't very good at doubles so that will be interesting.

The idea of precedent is interesting but I guess people don't want to look at the big picture. China does such stuff all the time.

Looks like Brazil is going to win as Ishiy comes back from 0-2 vs Kumar to dominate Kumar in the last 3 games. Tsuboi likely too experienced for Kai Zhang.

USA vs Brazil now tied 1-1. Even without Calderano, Brazil is still very dangerous. They won the doubles and Jouti is capable of beating Kanak. So the match between Kumar and Ishiy is critical but no guarantee.

The sad thing is that even without CCY, Chinese Taipei still has a strong enough team to medal. They should really be more willing to think broadly. Chien Chen An is now really strong again.

The Panam Championships is going on right now (surprised you have no thread) and may be a direct test of your theory as 4 players are playing singles (Juan Liu is the only one not playing).

If you gave as much context to your shocking statements as you provided in this post, then you would come across as more in tune with table tennis.

Shocking fact of the tournament - Juan Liu, who has no world ranking, wins it all (let's ignore that she has by far the highest USATT rating of all participants).

Sure. Facts like Amy is young and improving escape you, don't they? Or that she had a 3-1 lead the last time they played as pongfugrasshopper pointed out?

Yes, but the event that matters is the Olympics. People need to find the right compromise.
