I play Penhold as well. I feel that for both backhand topspin and blocks, your blade angle is quite closed. You would get more Power on your backhand topspin if you put a little more pressure on your Thumb which would open the angle more. That allows your to hit through the ball more Instead...

I agree. Both of them probably have a 70% chance of winning any event that they are participating in. The rest of the field are pretty much even and much depend on their form on that week and even day.

Including being 1:3 down vs Hugo in the quarters the night before as well! I actually thought Sora would be the worse possible opponent for Felix. Similar to WCQ forehand typically overpowering Felix backhand while Felix being unable to do the same while on this forehand.

He did it again against LJK

The tablet was faulty. The replacement empire was announcing the score in English after each point.

I also have astigmatism and tried making a single vision lens instead of playing with progressive. But I just can’t get used to the single vision lens in my case. I guess its More about what you use More when you play. I played more with progressive then single vision which might explain my...

Was there a reason stating why they perform better on slippery tables?

It was interesting hearing him talk about the difference in slippery vs “tacky” surfaces affecting the spin and flight of the ball. I knew there could be differences like in blade etc. But didn’t feel that much differences in table other then the sound. It could also be that the tables are in...

They played each other twice last year before LYJ changed his forehand rubber to zyre 03. And he lost both times 3-0 and 4-0 I believe. So zyre did not seem to make much of difference for his forehand. It seems strange that both LYJ against WCQ and Felix against LSD has so much issue with...

It was the 5th game between them. Felix lost badly in many of the earlier games not able return many serves or on WCQ third ball attacks. It seems like many player face issues with WCQ ball quality and serves. Considering this is LYJ first game against WCQ? I sort of expected this result even...

I saw it many times when the players was serving while watching the games

Is the h40+ a seamless ball? I thought it was seamed

Close but it was not to be. WMY is in great form so far as well. I hope she beats SYS this time round

It is a fascinating tactical contrast. Felix Lebrun’s ability to change direction with the Reverse Penhold Backhand (RPB) defies the traditional physics of the grip, while Lin Shidong (LSD) often opts for the high-percentage diagonal. Especially when Felix arguably has a weaker forehand then...

Yupe. He called one for alex Lebrun and Patrick and the both did not even want to challenge the call when they both had 2 reviews left. That says it all!

The only good thing is that the speed of the TTR review seems to be much faster now. It used to take 2-3 times as long. I think the serve angle can be pretty difficult for the umpire to call sometimes. If the ball is thrown in the angle towards or away from where the empire is sitting, it’s...

Yupe. The rain has wiped out the forest fire in johor which was the main reason for the haze. Fingers crossed that it continues to be wet. Both Malaysia and Singapore needs the water

Well it’s been unusually rainy here in Singapore…..

Thanks for this. So he did change to 09c on forehand and backhand. I recalled he said his stroke does not suit sticky rubber in an interview. Very interesting. His forhand Is looking way stronger and spinier with 09C

I heard he changed to using d09c on the forehand and zyre 03 on the backhand?
