Xu Xin injured?

I wonder if Filus has ever beaten Boll. I doubt it.

Happy Birthday, Poozer!

True if you lack aspiration, false if you don't.

Too many people focus on looping when it comes to blade/rubber evaluation. Things like serve return and pushing (basically over the table play and control) are just as if not more important for winning points at a decent level.

I used to agree with this but I am not so sure anymore. I tend to find the rubber more important for controlling speed than the blade nowadays, though of course, I play with things in an acceptable range for myself.

Yasaka Sweden Classic is close enough. You should be fine.

No need to apologize for not having a sense of humor.

Exactly. If you search back for the Olympics thread, you will find many such comments by the people who are telling you to chill now.

She retired after the World Cup in Philly.

DerEchte has seen me play choppers with my backhand, he can speak about it and decide whether the chopper was close enough to my level or not. Here is me looping to the chopper who I practice with, you can decide watching it whether I can't BH loop to 2000 level choppers and win the point...

The ball doesn't have to be flying towards your stomach to play a backhand. It really depends on your technique and how you understand what your game is for. I don't believe you should develop a stronger forehand than backhand - I believe that the forehand is NATURALLY more powerful and...

This video will give you an idea of how it is done. Watch the part beginning at 2:23 especially. Some people call the technique of this or other shoulder driven guys wrong. It's not as easy to do fast topspin exchanges with it, but for opening against chop or adjusting to balls with awkward...

One guy is talking about something he has no experience with. I on the other hand, want to dissuade people from saying things about backhand looping that are not true. Watching Schlager, you can see why he can play a chopper with his technique while Ma Long cannot. People with a backhand...

Tt monster, master a reverse pendulum no spin, it may be what the doctor ordered.

Limited is not the same thing as weak.

It's probably language but you need to distinguish between "backhand vs backspin" and "backhand vs heavy backspin or chop". The players who can play choppers with their backhand use a slightly more shoulder driven technique vs chop so it makes it easier for them to adjust. Ma Long has a...

Yes. That the first blade is an original and that Korbel likes heavy blades...

I tried to get a lighter Korbel from an NA distributor. They sent me a 100g Korbel. Read between the lines.

Not just into the topsheet, sometimes into the wood to the degree the ball deforms or the wood flexes.
