once points will get deducted ( added to the opponent) as a matter of routine , the players will be forced to adapt very quickly. It will take much longer to make its way down into the clubs and personally I do not expect to see it happen here in my clubs. ............maybe next life 😂

Absolutely . It will take a wile to trickle down to the club level but it is about time somebody makes a start. It is interesting though to experience that even hardened pros like Tomo also did not know that no warning is needed. 😁

I did not think that the umpire had this right. it has been quite while now that i read the rules but I thought that there always had to be a warning and can not remember a rule that the warning was at the umpires discretion . EDIT: Just had a quick read of rule 2.6.6.1 and indeed if there is...

why did Harimoto not get a warning for his illegal serve but a straight point was given to Uda ????

You already know the answer to this dilemma and I AM quoting YOU here : Spin to win 😁

Simple is best. A good quality wood is important.

Haha, that is cheating because after buying 4 pirelli rubbers you are now broke and can't buy anything.😂 Here is some good advise: buy a motorbike then you will only have to buy 2 Pirelli and still have money left for more blades and rubbers.🤣

Feel for the manufacturers, what a cruel thing to do, to get fixed on one single blade /rubber combo. Be generous , become a proper EJ and change blades and rubbers very regularly and quickly.

Even though I can accept that likely the majority of players are using the system of the softer/tensor backhand, I never got anywhere with this. I am a left hander and my BH rubber of choice is an unboosted commercialH3 /39or 40 with a 2.1 sponge. This gives me the control, the blocking power...

One of my clubs has just bought some Donic 3 star P40+. Now i am not a "ball-snob" and happily play with anything . After a couple of hours with this new ball i found that I need much more energy to make speed and spin with this new ball. Of course this is just a "feeling'' and it is personal...

more hobby psychology 😲

I think i said it before : If one is not prepared to police them , then don't make any rules.

White wine is always nice with fish and I have also use for it in my cheese fondue of course. I just finished my chicken red Thai curry and had added a good glug of red Shiraz to it to enrich the bouquet. Local market could not supply the lychees, had to put in pineapple pieces. Anybody moans...

What's that got to do with the price of fish 😫

the bottom line is that every organization from the local clubs up to ITTF have put the whole problem into the ""too hard basket""". It is so easy to make rules but so hard to police them.

Maybe, but then I had also rubbers that were reverse curled right out of the packet.

What needs mentioning is that when Seamoon is used the rubber might flatten but what actually happened was that in the 12 hours needed to let the booster do it's thing the rubber curled back. This is why the olde speed-booster. Ye can apply 2-3 layers in 10 minutes and then glue the rubber...

Of course there is the possibility that it is not the sponge shrinking but the top expanding. Just about impossible to say. I had the odd rubber that was curled "inside" after pulling them off the blade and they never came right again. Using normal booster sometimes flattened them , sometimes...

did it hurt ??? 😂

have the rubbers been boosted ?
