The french school: "slow" all wood blades + fast rubbers, it was that way for Gatien Chila Eloi Legout and the same with Lebesson and Gauzy before he switched to the Andro Syntheliac VCI. The reason he did the switch was because of hybrid rubbers slowing the racket. The Lebrun are from a newer...

Get a BTY Primorac Carbon + Rasanter R53 + boost if it's not "explosive" enough.... you'll thank me :poop:

It's been the same for the Bros in Montpellier: they started on wednesday, Alexis getting another 1 day off on thursday. That's why we got a "Super Sunday" with the semis and finals. It was to help the Bros.

There are more rallies than 30 years ago with the speed glue. Have you ever watched a classic Gatien vs Saive match ? it rarely went further than 5 or 6 strokes, the norm being the 3rd or 4th ball kill. I've seen Saive thrashing Waldner by reading his serves and killing them on the receive...

The other issue is the US sports mentality, it's focused on 3 or 4 sports + College and High School. It's also deeply gendered. It's their roots. Soccer works for the girls in NCAA, then most of the big stars have to go overseas. Same in volley-ball even if it's a sports invented by the USA...

T'was the same last year, and we saw what happened. You can't bet ANYTHING with 2 players capable of the worst and the best: Lin Yun-Ju and Tomokazu Harimoto, they can play like shµt for 2 months and then... out of nowhere, baaaam they win big destroying the CNT. They are too much unpredictable...

Only 1 title over 4 possible between Frankfurt last year + Montpellier last week for the CNT WCQ out too soon in Paris OG Contender Lubjana: no CNT See what I mean ? only 3 champions + contender events in Europe this year. And it's not only Europe: Contender Mendoza: no CNT Contender Rio: no...

He'll be in Frankfurt round of 32 vs Dima, so he won't be there.

When I say the CNT hates Europe... it's the reason why there are so much tournaments in Asia, they don't seem to handle well the euro crowds, time zones and jet lag...

Makes me laugh hard all the time too, it will be 4 LONG years, anything can happen, specially with Japan. There's so much density in that women's team it's almost impossible to tell who will be in the OG squad even 6 months before. The so-called experts and pundits in basketball do this all the...

Waiting for the CUL to make some noise if there are still tickets available. Meanwhile the Bros train hard https://x.com/i/status/1848087208110010461

so what ? net + edge = roller ! Poppa Chubby and his big smile, and an excuse !

Alexis is on terminator mode: he just destroyed Omar Assar that night in Montpellier for Pro A league in the Montpellier vs Hennebont match. Both bros have beaten Lim Jonghoon in the decider, that says a lot: facing lefties is Felix's weakness, and LJH won both of them last year when he was...

It seems no investment has been put in South Africa Table Tennis for example, maybe Tony knows more about that problem. I mean, China is pushing pawns over the chessboard, specially in BRICS countries with India, South Africa and in Qatar because of what Al Mohannadi has done to kill Weikert...

Japan dominating Judo ? What ? call Teddy, David and Clarisse please, right now lol Great Britain in rowing ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowing_at_the_Summer_Olympics Come on, the only thing coming closer is the women's BB team.

Basketball is my thing you know ;-), as far as I remember, the Celtics or the Lakers have never won the finals 20 years straight, nor the Bulls, nor the Spurs with Duncan. It's a shared dominance, Even the Bulls did not win 6 rings straight, Jordan wanted to try baseball in 94 and 95. I mean...

https://worldtabletennis.com/description?artId=4376 Patrick Franziska expressed, “Since the arena is so tight and loud, I hear almost every word. I wish we could play every day in front of these spectators; they’re fair, they cheer for everyone, and they bring an amazing energy that’s hard to...

No improvisation, no pace + effect variation, no surprise = boring. And it clearly does not bring enough money to WTT, nor new fans. Simon Gauzy can do like Quadri Aruna protesting about the charges, the stupid calendar and the prize money, but the WTT needs him as an entertainer, that's a...

Benyamin Faraji can definitely do like Felix did: entering qualifying rounds of Contenders and play Feeders, specially those that are right after big tier 1 tournaments, where no top 20 players really want to play. Youth WTT events are for B-list kids, he's a A-list one 100%, youth tier 1 events...

Playing with boosted H3 is like having a Bud Light, too easy to drink, not much taste, you know why it's illegal in Belgium :ROFLMAO:
