Fairly sure it was Tenergy 05.

Probably part of the reason his forehand blocking is worse now. Growing pains though, nothing more.

To be frank guys, even Bobrow said it, those three matches from QF to Final, especially the match vs Drinkhall, that was the best TT he had ever seen Vladi play, and he made Drinkhall look so normal I thought it was Drinkhall that has issues, but Gauzy looked just as useless.

Guys, it is a great video to watch of two skilled players hitting to each other but it is a table tennis rubber. It is going to do what every other table tennis rubber does - enable you to play table tennis if you have skills or if you want to build the skills. Even if I buy the rubber and...

Nah. Just youtube viewing.

Have fun. Vancouver is beautiful.

They should send Vladi's blade back to racket control and remove the grip tape. I suspect there is a warped Mazunov somewhere in there and that Tibhar and opponents will not be happy about that... Congrats to the man who should have retired long ago...:rolleyes:

IT's more complicated than that, but yes, this is standard French/German/Japanese technique. Chinese players generally do not finish that way on base forehands for a variety of reasons unless their racket is crossing at Eye level in order to increase the radius of their stroke. When your...

iamme, It's always cool to have fellow Africans on the site. You remind me of some of my past brothers on this site from Egypt and Burkina Faso! Welcome!

I think it is, actually, but I kinda know what you mean. I would say it is not powerful enough against someone who enjoys using your power against you. He needed much wider angles and better placement into the elbow.

It was visibly an HL5.

At least, he will play a versatile opponent with a coach in the final. Drinkhall's one-dimensional power approach was a bit too predictable and while his placement got better later in the match, he never got the real variation.

Drinkhall lost badly to Samsonov in T2. Just about every T2 result has been reversed here. This will be interesting.

Like I said, Mizutani is a chump. He really should do better. The way he faded in the last game vs Cho said a lot.

Mizutani is a chump.

I kid you not, there is a cho monster who sounds a lot like Harimoto at the US Nationals.

There is shoulder rotation, it is subtle, and it is not used for power - just for extra racket head acceleration for shaping the ball and producing spin. But there are other larger body parts for creating similar effects, that is why you see table tennis players contorting their abs to cover...

Yes, but again, blade construction can modify that with other features of the blade.

I suspect that they are linked but the way the blade feels in the hand is what I mean when I am speaking of thickness. Because of composites, you can get a Timo Boll T5000 which is as thin as a regular under 6mm blade but which has an OFF+ speed. You can also get a thicker blade which is all...

Yes, but there is a slight skepticism in his post which I think doesn't appreciate fully the direction the world is headed in. I will give an example. How many of us have bought shirts and gone crazy about getting a precise fit? Well, a former business school classmate designed a system...
