  1. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    Probably 50% but should be 0% This is a good game, a proper 2024 game when alexis was best euro player vs chinese and shidong going toe to toe in rallies and doing well

    Lets do it Zeio style for one last hurrah https://www.amazon.co.jp/Meditations-Marcus-Aurelius/dp/1545565678 Αν κάποιος μπορεί να μου δείξει ότι αυτό που σκέφτομαι ή κάνω δεν είναι σωστό, θα αλλάξω ευχαρίστως, γιατί ψάχνω την αλήθεια, η οποία δεν έχει βλάψει ποτέ κανέναν πραγματικά. Αυτοί που...
  3. Concern about a new rubber

    Provincial H3 hasn't been truly ball pick up and hold tacky other than the first day pr two for a number of years now I actually find commercial to be tackier usually I still find it really spinny however
  4. A better forum via better moderation

    Not sure this thread is worth replying to for anyone now, I would advise nextlevel to ignore most of this as it is clear I think to most people that the two trouble makers in the thread are causing issues once again with endless nonsence that was dead and buried and that any further contribution...

    Best they can do is 0.2mm sponge it's up to you to add it on
  6. A better forum via better moderation

    No need for better moderation but posters need to respect the forum a bit more. Note most of these issues come from 1-3 people in a thread disagreeing and derailing the whole thing, maybe if we respect the posters and other members we don't derail things so that the relevant information is 3...
  7. WTT Champions Yokohama 2026, Yokohama, 8/4-9

    Xiang Peng extends his 5 year loosing streak to harimoto. Just not threatening enough on attacks and rallies other than the pivot forehand to beat the stable and confident Tomo today
  8. Nagasaki: "I've never liked table tennis that much to begin with..." (#1169)

    Honestly, I tend to disagree with Zeio and think he should post more translated and compressed overall but i'm not sure how this is constructive to the forum? And this is kind of his personal retaining tank of messages for his links back to references in his postings and is actually a better...
  9. WTT Champions Yokohama 2026, Yokohama, 8/4-9

    Sure but if Xiang Peng is the hardest player for him and he is 3-1 upa against him do you think he deliberately lost to Wang ChuQin 13 times and only won 3 who apparently is much easier for him. why doest he not want to be the number 1 and olympic champion when all he needed to do was beat...
  10. WTT Champions Yokohama 2026, Yokohama, 8/4-9

    Of course she slows down the match when the opponant is on a hot streak if she can, but getting a card while the reciver is not ready isn't sensible. What did the umpire want? her to serve while hashimoto was not ready so it can be a replay point? there is no winning in that situation, if she...
  11. WTT Champions Yokohama 2026, Yokohama, 8/4-9

    Yeah im sure that is true, which is why he is 3-1 against XP winning his last 3 in a row but is 5-2 down against the backhand dominant lebrun and 7-3 down against Liang Jingkun the backhand dominant player. Statistically he struggles most VS backhanded players. Don't beleive what people tell...
  12. WTT Champions Yokohama 2026, Yokohama, 8/4-9

    Time wasting for both players? The server has to wait until the receiver is ready so how can they both get one at the same time
  13. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Got a XIOM Artemis 89g with 41d H3 and 37d H3 last month as I am not playing much this year and Z03 W968 was too much and I sent a lot of openers long.
  14. Are all ALC blades the same?

    No, not even in the same style. My TB ALC felt the same as a Viscaria sure but the Yinhe V-14 PRO is much stiffer and faster as its thicker, the Pro-01 is softer than a viscaria. My XIOM Artemis has the same hardness as a Viscaris but a much high pitch and is a little faster at 89g than 90+g vis
  15. XIOM new blades, any review on Tetra, Artemis, Chrome or Indeed?

    Preliminary use of a artemis is that it feels a bit softer and faster than Viscaria imo Extremely high pitched sound, Handle is not as comfortable imo but is not a flattened flare so if you want a rounder flared handle might be perf?
  16. Form is simply a means of consistency (a physics based approach)

    Biomechanics is much more useful to understand how to do a stroke, it also explains why certain forms work well Because strokes are not a mechanics issue but a biomechanics issue. when standing correctly the optimal strike zone for countering backspin is usually where the vertical racquet speed...
  17. Best Chinese Alternatives to D05 Tier List

    Completely agreed, It can mimick the hard attacking shots well but isn't as composed imo or as pradictable when playing slower and might actually be closer to a lower tiered K3 than D05. the best D05 alternative is T19 or D80 imo but thats a bold statement as they cost the same here
  18. Best Chinese Alternatives to D05 Tier List

    Honestly there will not be one D05 has some fantastic qualities and feels quite unique. It's like asking the best BTY rubber as a H3 alternative. there isn't one D09c is just a different rubber If we are putting Palio AK47 RED as A teir we are lost.
  19. United States Smash 2026, Los Angeles, 6/26-7/5

    I mean I have used machines that can tell the difference between things that are thousands of times more precise than this in a rheology laboratory or a laser particle size analysis thingy when I was at university. If we can't believe they can measure to 1/10th (not 1/100th) at least then we...
