Dan, could you pay attention to 'net' balls. I found that the 40mm ball could climb the net at times. That is hit into the below white ridge and the ball would still have enough momentum to spin and get over to the other side. The 38 ball was far less capable of doing this. I wonder if the...

Not really. I've been lucky enough to know Dan from when he was a wee teenager in the halcyon days when London Progress was the biggest and most successful club in the UK:-)

Crap player review Hey, Dan, can you bring it around to my club tomorrow night? I'll do a crap player review for you:-)

Sorry to be rough, but what are you talking about? Do you play LL, Grand Prix etc? If you do then you must have umpired quite a lot. So have you called players for illegal serving? If you feel so strongly about it, have you put a motion to your AGM re serves? And don't tell me about old people...

Xu Xin won this match through brilliant stroke play when he needed it most. That's the thing when any Pro faces a CNT player. If that CNT player runs out of tactical ideas, he's still left with the stroke play honed through countless hours of training that can be called on several times during a...

Alborz, are you an umpire? If not, why not qualify yourself and umpire those tournaments where you are not a player. It will widen your understanding of the sport

Hey Tony, I don't know why you are getting so extreme calling FZD and Stiga liars. Foremost is that FZD is a well known personality which makes him a hot prospect to advertisers. Do you think that Usain Bolt, Tiger Woods, Messi, and all those others use the exact product that they advertise that...

You are so right on this one Ha! Ha! Yes, I lose so many points on where when I wasn't ready. A couple of times, I didn't even have the bat in my hand.

Sorry guys, but my eyes welled up a bit.

I watched the video before reading the comments. I thought he was trying to be funny in his first post.Then to my horror, I realised that he was being serious. But his attempts to defend said comment were very funny. lol.

No matter which rubbers you buy you'll always be thinking, "why does everyone use Tenergy?" So get it over with and buy, as you suggest, the T80/T80FX as FH/BH. Don't change for at least 3 months.

Think of it as an investment that is also a piece of art. 5 grand is not that much for the well-off, it is probably tax deductable and won't lose its value. A new decent car loses that in value in each of its first couple of years of life.

One more to add. Ever notice that unlike many other sports, TT training can be as much fun as playing matches? It also enables inter-generational funtime together. There many 70+ year olds playing fullblown matches against 20 yo everyday.

I agree about the part where players will adapt to what will be a change in the way we all play the sport. The player styles will still be about those who are defensive minded, those who are offensive minded and the in-betweeners.

The rule is meant to take the controversy out of accidental hits to the hand including double hits. But it leaves a big loophole for those who want to take advantage.

As there is less spin, low level players may have even greater difficulty in pulling off upset performances. But I can see that at lower levels where I occupy, we'll probably see the return of the pushers. That is, a player who simply push and push and push and push until his opponent breaks...

How can anyone hit the ball so hard and with so much consistency?

I agree. I watched it live and it was so irritating not seeing the ball. At first I thought it was the lighting, but when they switched to other cameras, the picture was good. I can only conclude that the camera was either badly positioned and/or wasn't setup properly.

Can we adjust the poll to include Drinkhall's name? It shows how wrong we can all be at times. This humble pie tastes bland:-)
