It's obviously something you have to adapt to. I am just explaining that people know he is talented, they dislike the strategy he uses to get under the skin of his opponents since self-motivation is not the only thing in play. Once or twice a match or on big points is socially acceptable...

Agreed. If an adult choed like that, on basically every point, would Richie be asking us to look past his screaming?

Because his choing is part of the reason he plays as well as he does - he uses it to throw off opponents not used to it. I have played kids that choed like that before - it was a particularly bad experience losing to them.

With the great upset over Yu Meng Yu!

Yes. It would have been really interesting to know who voted for who to understand the role of money and relationships in directing votes.

Never questioned the authenticity of the vote.

IT's the Japanese table or table 3. The Japanese usually request a table for their teams to play on and cover that table with their press when their players are featured on it specially. You would have seen this at the WTTTC last year in Malaysia as well. Table 1 was also deserving of special...

Heard it was 118-90 or something like that - elections are not usually that close!

Tough for England. Drinkhall???

I didn't ask - he did make a stroke correction that makes sense to me but incorporating it into my game will take some time. The one thing I am going to do much more is diversify my play - I went from being a flat player to a spin player and I think I now need to get more purposefully better at...

That's why you don't learn as much as you can, archo. You always have the answers, so why ask the important questions?

Timo and Ma Long are in the same quarter as Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong. So it might not make a difference. It shows what happens when you don't play doubles enough to get a seeding and keep hoping to catch a break.

Yes, he wanted to kill me with footwork drills, but I told him I just wanted to learn a few tips. The level of spin he produces when he loops is just different, reminds of me when I tried to play against Syzmanski of Poland in a handicap match. I don't even see the ball when he power loops it...

Those pages hardly work, especially when they are 12 pages deep like they are in the prelim rounds. Weikert for President (sure... not that Saive will do much better).

Gambling is an issue, but the bigger issue is being in debt from it. Not the kind of thing you want from someone on your staff.

Went to Westchester on Sunday. Had planned to go with a buddy so I told Azeez I would be there. Unfortunately, my buddy started Ramadan and didn't feel well and pulled out. I haven't played well at all because I lack training but I went to Princeton and played decently the night before...

Anatomic and ST are old. Talking about recent ones.

You mean 95g + is not heavy? The three recent ones I have seen are 95, 96 and 98g.

If the carbon layer is thin, it may not be faste than a Korbel. It might just vibrate a little less. It all depends on what the blade designer is trying to do. You can actually test blades for sound response with software to see their nodes and sweet spot behavior. I know one web forum guy...

There is a junior I know who does this all the time. I have seen him win points with it on matches.
