Now we know why the ITTF brought in the 2-colour rule :)

Take your pick:

To me, that makes a lot of sense. But there are so many other things that affect how a racket feels at any one time. Eg, general atmosphere, humidity cold, hot etc. The balance of the blade also changes the feel. That's why some players are very particular about weight distribution. Ever notice...

"I Never think of the racket when I am playing which is as it should be." - the EJ lament :cry: That's hard to accomplish when one has the choice of 20 bats, all with different blade and rubber combinations :unsure:.

OP was a Prognosticator

Mine is the same, also ST except for the handle design. Yours is younger. But definitely a Darker Speed 90 which is always 1-ply hinoki blade..........I think.

What exactly is the 'duct tape hack?'

We'll never know for sure. However, packaging of any product can be a significant cost. So Bty sending rubbers in plain packaging can be a cost saving measure. Especially as some players get hand picked version for weight, hardness etc. Plus, many players, maybe even most, are not particularly...

I see what you did there 😊

How soon before we have a tt version of this -

"i will upload a friendly match soon against an Old ANti Player" Please do, mate. Would love to see that match.

"Gambler Vector Speed carbon blade" What a name ☺️🌩️

If you really love playing but the training hours are getting too long, try blocking to other players. Blocking does not suck the energy very much and your playing partners will love it. Example, I sometimes block for young players on a rotation basis. Rotation, simply because each player is...

The one I'm not prepared to receive

"I’m telling your as an fitness/martial arts coach, two time national silver medalist in bodybuilding, one time in mma, plus I had national/euro champions students." I'm very envious, almost jealous :) But I'm also impressed by the knowledge on this thread. Saves me from having to do any googling

I wasn't at this event, so not sure. But the court size would generally be the same. Yes, they could be bigger sometimes. Every tournament, some players do hit the barriers. But the really huge arenas are not available at reasonable cost. The players generally don't have an issue with the court...

The court sizes for the nationals would have met the standards for such an event. In practice, the barriers do get moved around during and after matches. But, the umpires would correct infractions, especially for the 'finals' matches.

I remember them well. And I feel that the same misunderstandings between discussees prevail. Why. Well there is no official definitions of tt terms. So people use terms like brush based on their own experiences not realising that others are misunderstanding the terms as used. Basically...
