IT' actually a backhand stroke for shakehanders. Petrissa Solja is one player who does it fairly often and obviously.

Evolution over Bluefire, but that's just me. Good luck with it and let us know how it shakes out.

Yeah, but T80 is not T80FX... the people I have seen use T80FX have got me thinking really hard about it. That's how well they play with it. On the other hand, the guy(kid actually) with the best backhand in my club uses T80. So it could go either way. I am the wannabe using MX-S...

I heard Daylight Savings ends in Poland tomorrow so the matches start an hour earlier than you might think based on Today if you are in the US (our daylight savings ends next week).

In general, when saying a rubber is slower or faster than another, it has to be clearer what one is saying. All people mean is that when you spin with T80FX vs. T05FX, T80FX has less arc, so it comes through the table faster. Also, the spin generated is a little lower for that reason. However...

Get T80FX for the BH - disagree with Carl on this one. T80 or T80 FX is actually the rubber I would use right now if looking for a change - it allows you to play all the BH shots with control, hits, loops and blocks.

Hi, Sali, are you watching it in person at the arena sometimes?

Yes! Come on fight! Fight laj!

It's going to be a tremendous backhand battle between him and Fegerl - I am going to study that one for the rest of my life.

It's not the first loop that hurts but the 1000th...

During the preliims, I found Karlsson's margin of victory in his matches against good opposition very impressive but the Yan An match confirmed it.

People do this all the time. The differences in feel will be a result of the rubber and the glue job, not the blade. Not sure what club you play at but these are things most fairly experienced players are very familiar with.

I think NOT using the fastest blade and rubber from Donic might help with learning this serve. But that's just me.

One of the most painful match point winners of all time...

Always be relaxed when practicing and playing - it makes your timing better and the timing makes up for what you think is the power you are getting from over-exertion. There is no need to get injured in this sport unless you refuse to listen to your body when it has pain from bad repetitive...

Big Dipper definitely has a glue layer for the tuning. Of course, that's insufficient for many...

Guilty...

I like to hit with everyone in my club. But you have to be careful - it might not get you ready to play your best, and that is what you need when competing. Example: http://www.tabletenniscoaching.com/node/1276

"Way below your level" is the key thing. And you may not believe it, but these things can ruin your match preparedness in a tournament. Especially if the player is not using inverted.
