He doesn't have to, and I hope he doesn't. The nerve it would take to perform the way he did at T2, you can feel he enters that mental zone and he's making abstraction of it all. A monster of focus in that tournament, including in the 5-point games that were so discussed here. Part of that...

Sorry I'm answering indirectly but Jesper that was a very good post, thanks.

Either way, I feel it's tough giving her the stick for it for all eternity. I too wish it hadn't happened, but all proportions kept I am not sure it is enough to judge her character.

Yeah Paul isn't doing bad but he was more promising a few years back.. By the way I got curious about his current rating http://www.fftt.com/pro/joueur.php?numero=319369 and apparently he is using the same Target Ultim as Akkuzu? I've never seen these in the wild, people either go Pro GT (very...

Gauzy has been muscling up his game alongside the trademark trickery in recent times, some of his shots actually look somewhat out of Calderano's book (not just the double-handed BH which does feel gimmicky, but quite a few of the head-on whacks especially on the backhand, too, and I am even...

Have you tried laola1.tv? They retransmit the ITTV broadcast with just as good quality, and for me it is often more stable if ITTV is crashing. I don't think it is country restricted. Otherwise, good old VPN (just Google it if you have never used one) will do the trick. But I agree, watching TT...

By the way I had this completely wrong, I thought the time schedule was organised according to group pairings. For this match to happen, Gauzy would have to walk past the winner of FZD vs ML/Niwa... Yeah. :-/ Also yes, Mizutani played some great rallies and will look good in the highlight...

Xu Xin vs Mizutani, 3-0 (games), 2-1: watch it!!! 26 shots, what the heck.

There could be a Xu Xin Vs. Gauzy rematch, man I love Gauzy's play and of course he's my compatriot, but if it happens Xu Xin is going to come out with a six-blade-knife between his teeth for that one. In front of his public, too. Chun Ting, Jun... I love you too, but you know you want to step...

Oh, sorry I just noticed these two don't belong to the same range, and thought you were merely asking about two different thicknesses within the black balsa range. My bad. :-/

I haven't tried the 6.5, but I was very impressed with the 7.0 in combination with V01 max sponge (I was playing cpen, so not my natural style, but could get heavy contact and/or spin from both sides)... in open play, that is. My point is, it really is not just a hitter's blade the way I assumed...

Maybe I read to much into this, but to me yin pai is about more than just reset. The best way I could describe it is, have you seen this in video games or movies about jet fighters / air combat, when the dashboard system is sharpening its focus on the moving object (with multiple squares...

That's how you get such a long career, he is enjoying every second of it. The word "legend" is thrown around a lot but oh, Timo!

Ahah Der Echte has set up residency in the Netherlands and is causing further havoc. Some Poles are fed up with being told what to do, how and when, and resort to fear and anger. The others carry the torch and extend their gestures of good will to the rest of the world. They are promptly told...

Well you already have it covered quite well, it can feel a little hard but it is not fast in the sense of "a small hit will give a fast ball", more like what you said about being linear and direct - it won't bottom out or else I have chicken arms, frankly the upper limit is pretty high. Blocking...

Not aiming to derail the thread, but it seems all the brands are going there now. Hopefully sales won't catch up, it's bad enough with rubbers. Anyhow thanks for the reviews, Airoc.

Not quite the direction you've been looking in obviously, but have you considered Vega Pro?

Don't worry about the harder rubbers in a year's time, you'd be progressing crazy fast if that really became a pressing issue by then. You rather want the stuff that you have to feel like an extension of your hand. Try hitting the ball in many different ways, develop a feel for the vibrations...

I've had a few experiences with cpen recently, it's made me think quite a bit. The amount of sidespin and general variation one can get due to higher freedom of movement of the wrist is fantastic, and there is just something appealing about it all, for me. Actually I am thinking about practicing...

Yes, let's hope so..
