No. The new P5 is made in japan, the old Adidas P5 was ESN.

In terms of matchups, Lin seemed vunerable with Hugo in such form with his particular style. Lin wants to rally and starts points relatively softly, Hugo dominated him with early pressure and incredible shot strength. Lin made some awful service returns as well though. FZD is a different type...

BOOM! Broken clock, right twice a day etc etc. What a performance!

Of all the CNT players Hugo could have met, I think he stands the best chance against Lin. Hoping for fireworks.

All TTD profiles are confused if you ask me. I've got V42 as my BH rubber and it gets displayed as black. As if BH rubbers are black! It isn't the 80s! ;););) I don't agree with most of this, although it depends on what people are looking for when they switch. Personally, when I made this...

V42 on BH. R47 replaced OVA on the FH side, although I do have naughty thoughts about going back to it at some point.

Yu's blog has some interesting stuff today from a spring exhibition. Victas Dyna 7, VO>103, V>15 Stiff, TSP Super Ventus, an "adsorption sheet" (with activated carbon) to control humidity, and....Butterfly Cookies. http://world-tt.com/blog/yu/ Also, some more pictures of Stiga Nostalgic...

It's tough to give a definite without knowing more about how you play. If you want higher arc, slightly softer overall feel, easier openers against backspin then Omega 7 Pro is great. If you want a harder feel, more linear behavior, easier counter/driving play then R47. If you're a brush...

Me too, and I really liked R47 because of that I think. You might find that the arc feels low on brushy shots initially if you have a tacky rubber history, but that's true when moving from tacky to grippy in general. The key thing for me was avoiding very non-linear, high catapult rubbers and...

Durability is OK, average for modern ESN rubbers. The topsheet lasts well and there isn't the obvious booster drop-off you get with, say, MX-P. It's more of a steady decline. This season I mostly used R47/V42 and I replaced them around halfway through, so that's about 15 weeks of use, 6 hours...

Also! I hope you're all ready to give your balls a good scrub:

Ball update - 2nd March The notable thing in this update is the imminent removal (30th June 2018) of some older 40+ balls. I still see some of these being used locally at the moment so perhaps worth bearing in mind: iPong Sphere 40+ (seamless) Joola Super-P 40+ (seamed) Kingnik 40+ (seamless)...

Well, I'm all excited about this now. Many thanks!

To my eyes, it looks like the decision was made to piggyback on to last week's World Cup. The arena is still set up for it, the AV, streaming and PR is still in place. On paper it probably looks like an opportunity to reuse last week's infrastructure to raise the profile of the nationals. But...

This is a really enjoyable match. Shinozuka looks like the real deal - very clean technique.

With this one back in January, it was the nature of the win that surprised me. He really crushed ML here - it was an amazing performance, but I'm not sure ML was at his best.

Wow, thanks for that! I was hoping it would be a cheaper alternative to O7P, and the japanese webstores have it listed as 45 degrees in their pre-order descriptions. I'll still give it a shot when it comes out I suppose, but Xiom have thrown me again.

Oh no! I thought O7 Tour was going to be crazy-hard (55 degree sponge), but Vega Tour was 45 degrees? Any ideas on the sponge hardness?

Considering what just happened to Drinkhall, maybe it was a tactical masterstroke.
