Happy for England. How Gionis lost that match though is a good question for those who have the time to figure it out because I doubt I can other than to say that it just happens.

Timo Boll was up 2-1, 10-3 vs Samsonov and lost the match.

BTW, I hit a roller with my backhand on Tuesday. First time ever. Of course, no camera to record it. Great....

Conversion depends on a lot of factors and is never straightforward. What the default rating in your country is plays a role, as well as how often players in your country play other well rated Ratings Central players.

Thanks.

You don't know what you really SOUND like... and since you aren't speaking, I must be an idiot to write that, right?

No video of the matches anywhere?

Okay, feeling is ACOUSTIC in nature. Does that solve the problem?

No wonder you felt that iacas was being extreme. This is clearly not what he meant and not what I mean. In Physics, which is about as precise as anything, sound waves are simply created by vibrations. Language is generally imprecise so it's more important to understand what someone is saying...

By making it clearer that when deaf people sense a ball on their racket, they are doing it in a similar way to how to get can sense music even when they don't hear it. And this kind of sound perception, whether it is related to prior prioception or to auditory perception, is still sound...

Well, I think you are wrong and they would feel the vibrations of the ball on their racket. But since I haven't performed the tests, I cannot say and I could be very much wrong. The impact of the ball on my racket is often more significant to me than music.

So they would not hear a ball hit a racket they are holding? Which is just about the only relevant thing to the definition of feeling that I provided?

I By feeling, I mean the sensation of the ball on your racket. You probably mean touch or ball manipulation or something else, which people might define as feeling a well? If you ask a deaf person how/why they can dance or listen to music, they will tell you the feel the vibrations. In the...

I do think feel in table tennis is clearly mostly sound. That's why we talk about vibrations. OF course, other senses are important, but sound is a big part of it, not just the ears, but the hands obviously. I think because kids are growing, all kinds of body parts are augmented for table...

So my temp decided he wanted to switch coaches. His wife had given me the first hint of this on Saturday and he beat 2 1700 players and one 1800 player on Sunday. I think that because most of my approach to TT coaching is Zen-based to the degree that I picked it up from Brett, intellectual...

Well, it's your fault for not getting me the first time. Of course I know he has the right handle. It doesn't mean he didn't stick it on another blade! (And in case it isn't obvious to anyone, I have almost zero doubt that Drinkhall, a fave of mine, is using his Tibhar branded blade.)

Yes, but it could also be what you said before. Unless you look at the details, it is hard to know. That's why you need to know who talks to who about what in your club so that you can figure out what people are saying about how to play you and what you may need to work on.

What's pictures of the handle going to do other than confirm what we already know? Don't you need to do some analysis of the blade materials with a spectrometer and then look at the dimensions to confirm that it is a Drinkhall Powerspin Carbon and not another blade?

I built one by putting a wire through a ball. It helped me and the kid I built it for. I am going to build one again for my forehand as well.
