But but but but Franziska using his innerforce ZLC went all the way to the finals in Singapore Smash this year. And he also has beat FZD, Ma Long and Xu Xin? as well using this blade. I am not actually sure if he was using his name blade when he beat Xu Xin a couple of years ago. But I cant...

Is there a way to watch the earlier rounds games? I was hoping to watch Felix and dang Qiu game. Can’t subscribe to discovery plus as they only accept USA credit cards even via PayPal. Most games are At crazy 2am timings in my time zone

As I understand it or was told, butterfly resellers were told to keep to a standard price without discounted or they would lose their dealership. But the resellers seem to suggest even at the high prices (compared to Japan) , their margins are super thin compared to other brands and they prefer...

Actually Butterfly rubbers are really cheap in Japan and expensive elsewhere. In Japan a Tenergy is around US$42 while a Dignics is around US$48 excluding the 10% tax. Somehow after it arrives in other countries, it becomes around US$80.

Where did you see this? Cant seem to find any details on it

It also seems like they changed the top sheet formula? on the Rxton 9. The older sheets i had was so sticky you could actually "catch" the ball a little it was bouncing and your rubber was facing down on the table. But the recent new batches are as sticky as the new H3 or Xuperman rubber...

It’s the timo boll 70th anniversary model. But I thought it was only available in shakehand.

Haaa. Probably a little harsh now. The commentators was saying this is just his 2nd loss in a wtt tournament to a none Chinese opponent since Jan 2023 to Hugo.

Maybe belittle is not the right word to use. But like you say a win a win. Tough luck!

While I am rooting for Felix Lebrun. He does not have a good record against the top tier CNT players at this time. When he meets them, they are usually able to get into his head and he implodes or lose in not close games. When I say top tier, I do not include LSD in the list at this time. The...

While I always apologies to my opponent when I get a lucky ball and I do get frustrated some times, I do not get why some people are angry and throw tantrum or become a poor loser when a opponent wins after one or a few lucky ball. At the end of the day, it is in the rules that a "lucky" ball...

LSD might be out as well!

Try Tibhar MK FX. It’s a hybrid that grips well yet soft and not spin sensitive

I do also feel that FZD the year before has much more power/threat on both his forehand and backhand shots somehow compared to the FZD in the last 6-9 months

Not forgetting LGY was somehow able to stay at the table while FZD was being pushed back. If he switch “poorly” or weakly, he would probably be counterloop to his backhand and would not be able to recovery. Also a lefty backhand would spin such that a righty forehand return would likely go to...

Do you find the 40d xuperman harder or Softer than a h3 equivalent? What about speed after boosting?

Well come blades are only available in shakehand for example. There will be penholders who might want those blades if they can be made in penhold.

Oh no! I have been playing illegally all this time! Trying playing in humid Singapore without perspiring. I know I have sunblock on my face and oh moisturiser as well. I just check the ingredients list and there are a bunch of chemicals!!!! So sweat that gets on my hands or rubber when I...

Watching FZD walk and play at Singapore Smash, I sort of suspect that he was still nursing a slight knee injury. Before Smash he had been wearing a knee brace for a while. He also seem to loose steam after game 3 or 4 recently. It all points to his knee injury still not fully healed? Could be...

I agree. My ovtcharov is actually a few grams Lighter than my Felix and it still feels harder and faster. Even my viscaria feels softer
