They obviously am not a FAN 🤪

He sure looks like a pretty all rounder Penholder. Strong on both sides with a fantastic parallel RPB as well which is unusual

you really have to try it on a pure wood blade. I was using it on my Timo Boll ALC and like you say, some days its the best, like totally focus and on form and you move correctly to ever ball. On other days, man I probably struggle even against players where I usually do not have a issue playing...

I got this shot from Harimoto game in the semi vs LSD. It does seem like he is using Z03 on his forehand. This is from WTT semi full match video at 2 min 24 secs.

I am sure that they both being in the CNT is the main reason for it. They probably train together a number of times. When you are familiar with your opponent, there tends to be more rallies.

I am not sure what he is using on his forehand now. But his forehand does seem stronger now especially in the rallies recently. Could be his focus on improving his forehand or Maybe z03 if he did go Back to it after dropping it initially? Before this tournament, he was blocking balls on his...

I could not tell but I saw clearly his backhand rubber was a z03 a few Times. Could not make out his forehand rubber though.

So it looks like his focus on his forehand in the last few months had paid off. Or should we say focusing on his forehand with the Zyre 03 in the last few months has paid off. I just think outside WCQ and LSD, any of the Truls, Tomo or Hugo on their day can win any tournament. But can also be...

I mean does it make send to seed half of the field? Seed top 8 in a 16 player field? Really not sure if that be a better way to do this. I think whatever they decide on, there will be pros and cons. But the champions tournament sure have very good matchup right from the start. And best of 7...

I mean this is a "champions" tournament of which only top 16 qualify. So its pretty much the best of the best. Pretty different in terms of the quality of opponents even in Smash tournaments where the top 64 qualify. Then you probably may not want the top 8 to meet in the round of 16. Also...

and he had one unused challenge that he did not utilise as well. I mean if we want to talk about illegal serves, Hugo had alot of short forehand serves which I am sure is also borderline hidden. Felix lost 4-5 points directly from those similar serves. Maybe the solution for this is not TTR...

Agree. I only been to Singapore Smash and it seems like having seat numbers for smash is Going to be difficult. There are multiple halls and you are Free to walk around. Maybe the seat allocation can apply To the infinity arena only

Although it is way bigger, most soccer games have the majority of the fans as season holders. Season holders have assigned seat numbers. This makes it much easier to know which “seat” and so who that person is likely to be. I think it would be so much more difficult in a table tennis...

The original Omni which is black and orange does not work with this app?

I live in Singapore and I have to say those who play Hurricane always complain about the ball dropping when the humidity is high. Which is always in Singapore especially if it is not in a air conditioned place. Our average humidity level is 80-90% throughout the year and if you ever try playing...

I somewhat agree with this. I do miss the "vibration?" on my hands when ball hits the blade that I used to get in my earlier playing days. Partly it could be due to the outer carbon or carbon blades that I have mainly been using. As I have transition from H3 to hybrid rubbers, speed is no...

Although it is an inner carbon, it is an extremely fast inner blade. Almost similar in speed to the Viscaria. I would not call it slow.

We have 4 MRT stations with Table Tennis available to book for free now in Singapore as well. It started in 2023 I believe with the first one. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/want-to-play-ping-pong-you-can-now-do-so-at-esplanade-mrt-station It’s pretty interesting idea and...

In one of the interviews he did For butterfly, he said his custom blade is a innerforce handle With a timo boll alc wood

Yes he changed to viscaria about 2-3 months ago. For Penhold, the viscaria has a Smaller blade size. 158x150mm While others has a 161x150mm size. That could explain his recent play of taking balls off the bounce more often. Small lighter blade means More blade speed.
