Kmmm, it's clearly a garage. :LOL:

Hey, you never know. I thought I was destined to be a FH dominant player, but lately I've found myself playing best with a balanced game, even started serving from the FH corner more. Quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes, and it may happen all of a sudden without you ever...

Been working nights, 12+ hours a day, so pretty exhausted when I get home. I usually wouldn't practice at all, but I'm pretty excited about the new technique so managed to get 2 short sessions in. During downtime at work I also visualized the new technique. At least for me, visualization helps a...

I tried out the new form, trying to combine it with the backswing closer to the body. Let's just say it doesn't look like it's gonna be a simple transition lol. I was hardly hitting the ball to start, which means it's not gonna be a matter of just remembering to do it during matches.

The FZD ALCs feel flexier, and conversely not quite as direct, with the 92g one feeling stiffer than the 89g one. They both have a bit more woody sound, while the Vis/ZJK have a bit more of the carbon "ping". The Vis/ZJK are both significantly faster with medium powered shots typical in a BH...

They say it's identical, but I'm not sure if they actually tested it. Just look at the numbers, all 4 are exactly the same as Viscaria's. The chances of that happening is pretty small even if you're comparing 2 Viscarias of the same weight from the same batch. Heck, it's pretty small even if you...

Yeah he played well, started off too far from the table, but got better once he moved closer. Needs to work on placement though. He's got the speed and technique but that's not gonna be enough against top level players. Also needs better service receives but that's normal with his experience...

I'm still working to implement my recent learnings, and surprisingly (or perhaps not) I'm making far more progress with my BH. I guess it's because I started from pretty much zero while I have a lot of ingrained habits on the FH side? A few days ago I had a practice session, and for the first...

People have various ways of dealing with tariffs. For example, a vendor could declare $4000 worth of goods for $800, which under the new de minimis rule would be charged $100 of tariffs, equating to effectively a 2.5% tariff. A freight forwarding service would then parse out the $4000 parcel and...

Interested in the Li Hechen vs. Sora match. I think Li might be the next CNT star after HYZ. Hard to beat Sora, of course, but I wonder how much of a fight he can put up.

I play on average 8-10 hours a week. D09c is great for about 2 weeks, after that the sponge loses a bit of spring but remains pretty good for I actually don't know how long because the topsheet will wear out first. The topsheet is solid at least for my level for about 1-2 months, after that it's...

Just watched the match, HOT DAAAAM what a performance by Hugo! IMO this isn't just a one off either, because he didn't just get hot, he changed his play style. I do want to see how he does with other balls but I think he might be the biggest threat to the CNT in the years to come.

It's been cheaper for quite a while now. I got mine a few months ago and the difference was bigger. It seems like they dropped the price for all of them, but less for the Q968 so the price difference is closer now.

Not sure about powerful, but quicker for sure. LSD tends to have more trouble with those who are very quick, like Felix or Harimoto, so Hugo wouldn't match up as well. WCQ IMO needs some mental adjustments. He tries to end points too quickly as he lacks what others on the CNT does, which is...

What a match by HUGO!!!! What a beast of a last point for victory!

I like this new Hugo, holding the table much better.

Oh the tech is ready, it's just a matter of whether WTT wants to implement it. All you need is 6 very basic cameras, 3 on each set, with mounting equipment, and a very basic software which they can hire someone to write based on an open source AI algorithm so it'd be a one-time cost. The cost...

I don't see how that's the case. The ball will fall at the same rate any other object falls. Anyone who's alive for long enough to play competitive TT at any level should have seen enough falling objects to visualize the entire trajectory of the ball once it's tossed.

That's easy, just let the TRR call faults.

To be frank, asking players to retire is like the mildest shade I've seen thrown around on sports message boards. That dude has no idea just how much vile sports fans can levy on players around the world :ROFLMAO: If I had to guess, they're SYS fans and they see KM as less of a threat to their...
