My apologies I sometimes develop tunnel vision.

I haven't used ALC-S but there is something about the thickness of the ALC that is off putting.

Sure, but we are trying to figure out who Matt was referring to, not list all the good players in the USA. Gacina played as if he wanted Kai to just miss and Kai doesn't do that much as Westchester. He plays 50-100 pts better at that club than he does outside of it.

If you watch closely it is fairly obvious. A lot of CNT are Viscaria users if not all ALC users.

Nah. Junhan Wu is from Matt's club and had only lost one match on US soil. Different level from most players we see here, most of his competition is on the west coast.

They played the Semis at Westchester. In the second video above, he plays "beast" in the finals at Princeton. It was interesting talking to Azeez after the match. It shows you the kind of fighter he is.

Here are two Azeez matches:

My buddy! Where was the event?

That has not been my experience at all unless you consider Viscaria and HL5 slow blades. What they probably mean is that Schlager carbon is not common with young Chinese players (many older experienced players use it with Tenergy). What I find is that good players use a good offensive looping...

If you care, here is the match. Coaching tournament matches is not for me - it drive me crazy when I am supposed to be getting my player to play his best table tennis.

Me today, I played tournament coach and EJ madman. Bought aTenaly and long pips and coached a friend who wanted to make me pull my hair out through his knockout matches in the U2000. He lost deuce in the 5th, coming back from being down 3-10 to lose 12-14.

Yes. I am not sure he ever quite had it - he is really a great front runner, but the real issue is how he faces adversity. If you watch the LJK match, he was up 7-1 in the first game and lost that 10-12. After that, he lost the next game, and suddenly, both LGL and QZJ had to coach him.

If you really believe that, you really need to see how the Chinese cheer their players on tour. Just not as many.

Some people use Tenergy for years before replacing it - just keep it clean. No rush. The loops look good. Yes, Tenergy kinda loops for you, but that is the whole point isn't it? And you still have to loop to let it loop for you, so don't take too much from yourself. There are lots of ways...

" Congrats. I think I remember this guy, he may be the one that I said has no backhand and that I felt that if you "transitioned him (one ball to the forehand, one ball to the backhand or vice versa since he liked to pivot) he would fall apart. I know that superstition too, and I try to tell...

They are both good blades. The pricing difference is really Butterfly pricing and reputation IMO. Which blade you prefer is a personal thing. I know players who are better than I am who use blades cheaper than mine. You may agree with Butterfly estimation, you may not.

If you like messing around with blades, it is cheaper than buying and messing round with cars, But if you want to improve your game, the question is why? If you answer the question of why, then you can see whether there is any point or not.

This is an interview with Weikert from around the same time that Boll made his 80% of players are cheaters comment. http://www.mytischtennis.de/public/Buntes/7939/weikert---bdquo-die-wm-ist-unzureichend-organisiert-ldquo?seite=1 It shows what I mean when I say that Shahara and Weikert come...

I wish you had a Lexus SUV you didn't like to sell, I would buy it.

And to add insult to injury (or as they say in my country, to rub in salt into the injury), they put Mizutani in the first match to close the deal...
