  1. Edge tape?

  2. Ovtcharov posts a photo of his blades

    Hard to tell as the camera is using a wide-angle. Look at how stretched the rubbers look.
  3. Why 1-0 is called one love

    Also match officials don't say "Deuce" in TT. Why?
  4. Towel Rule

    Was the hall very humid? If so, the match officials will relax the rule.
  5. Men's World Cup 2020

    At times in the match, it was as if they had copied the women's' game. They both played up to the table and bang-bang, bang-bang, boom!
  6. What is your second passion?

    Snow in Sydney? or do you travel south during the winter?
  7. Stupid question about Tenergy 05!

    I think that R53 would suit me better, especially for those 1 in 50 shots when I can shout "I am Gauzy!"
  8. was it correct decision?

    No need to be an a-hole in your comment. I did not look at in slow-mo. But you are correct, it hit the net clamp.
  9. was it correct decision?

    I think that Kun thought that the ball from Hugo hit the table then net. There were 2x umpires for that match so no doubt that the correct decision was made. But I will say that that net must have been very stiff. I am also surprised that he did go for the ball as it's something that happens at...
  10. Is marijuana and psychedelics legal too take and compete internationally

    I remember in a County (=State) championship, the two finalists in the over 40s had to put their pints under the table for the match. They also took a drink between games.
  11. Alternative for a 1 ply hinoki?

    Could be, I have only had a short knock with it. IMO, it felt quite familiar but YMMV
  12. Alternative for a 1 ply hinoki?

    Basically all blades with Hinoki outer plies have broadly similar feel/effects. So a Hinoki user like me can pick up a Primorac Carbon or Joola Emotion etc and not be lost. As to weight, you can get 1-ply blades come in a wide range of weights. Eg, I have several Hinoki1-ply blades with...

  15. Wrist pain

    DrLevi Harrison#Fitness #Health #Gaming #gamers doctor In another thread on this topic some years ago, a poster (Carl?), linked to videos by Dr Levi Harrison. He is a surgeon that puts a lot of emphasis on wrist exercises for Gamers. I found this video to be very relevant for TT players, but...
  16. Adam Bobrow vs World no. 7 Lin Yun-Ju

    Agreed. Wasted opportunity. I would far prefer to hear him talk about his life and family and how he got to no.7
  17. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    High product desirability = high selling price Any manufacturer of a highly desirable product has the same pricing policy. It's also why IPR and copyright is such big business for lawyers. Two examples: Porsche is reputed to be the most profitable car company in the the world. In the face of a...
  18. CNT's Mock Olympics

    I like LJK, but my psyche needs XuXin to win one of the big two tournaments I see your point. I also see where the top players may not have been able to motivate themselves, thus mysterious early eliminations or 'injuries'. But I saw a lot of passion and effort in Liang Jingkun's matches as if...
