I agree. Make it best of 3 games with each game to 5. Who knows. Dan might actually win a game here and there. Two nasty nets and an edge in a game to 5 might just do it 😊

One of your best posts, Carl Spoken with the assurance of a good coroner....sort of:)

Pah!! Here's the best training exercise for XuXin to get his loops going against FZD etc. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKEQ6sEgTrR/?igshid=4kpv56ayhy6y

Watch this video and learn, son. Standing on the shoulders of giants is a metaphor which means "Using the understanding gained by major thinkers who have gone before in order to make intellectual progress". Start at 36:00 to see where most playesr learned the chop-block. In fact all top...

How long? Well, it's now 3 days into the new year and I've not bought anything TT related.....yet. I wonder how long I can holdout?

Steady as she goes Thread revival I was looking at this review of theSauer & Troeger HELLFIRE X ОХ Long Pip,but what caught my eye was the player providing the feed for the LP player. I think he was very smooth and steady thus demonstrating a technique very useful to us ordinary players...

Gambler Reflectoid A left field choice would be Gambler Reflectoid. It is slow but said slowness is good technique training:). The advantage is that it has supreme control of incoming loops and drives. So you can block, chop-block,active block, and counter drive/loop. The blocked returns...

Just reading this made me shiver, brrr!

If you think about it, most top players don't win the top singles trophies. They were strong challengers but for one reason or the other fell just short of the big ones.

Evidence I can't argue with that. Hopefully my luck will continue:)

Again, I know that this is not scientific, but in my small club (120 members including regular visitors), we have about 40 members plus visitors that practice regularly. In the period 2019-20, at least 3 bats randomly broke at the neck. Plus several other damage that caused them to change...

Are you sure about that? These Korean fellows seem quite young, definitely below 40yo. This rally starting at 01:44 looks quite decent https://youtu.be/0gcf6DpmTAA?t=103

I've said before that I've had one of my 1-ply blades split. On a sub subsequent check, I realised that that blade was made from an experimental wood. I have had several Darker, American Hinoki and Butterfly 1-ply blades and none have split. On the other hand, I have had several 'normal' blades...

Physiotherapy and TT? Good stuff. It will be good to hear from you in the future regarding TT training and exercise vs duration

Well done to all the players. It's a pity that the juniors could not be there, but such is life in 2020.

"Unconventional and brave" - because not many people try it too often. Unconventional? I'll give you that. It is used fairly regularly by European pro players that I've seen. Brave? This is what can happen when it is tried against a top CNT lefthander attacker. See the first point...

I like Liang Jingkun. He always seems to be in trouble when playing against top players and lesser players;). But he has a way of playing unconventional strokes especially when in trouble In this match vs Cai Wei, watch the 5th game where he brings out a few Waldner-nesque stroke-play when...

Jiang Jialiang looks like a man in his early forties And moves like a player in his thirties

I take it that you are not in Brazil then:)

He's talking about before the match start or at the end. As others have said, the rubbers need cleaning frequently. During some matches this can be on every change of serve. Eg, have you noticed that even in a supposedly clean environment, a brand new ball becomes mucky after even one game? Now...
