  1. Why so few W968 clones

    Harimoto inner has an enlarged head too. Also w968 was not hugely popular until the 2020s. ML W968 Fang Bo w968 FzD viscaria LJK viscaria Timo Boll viscaria lin gao yuan viscaria ZJK viscaria Liam Pitchford Viscaria Lee Sang Soo viscaria Mizutani ZLC inner Wang ChuQin was viscaria until 2021...
  2. Go for Fang Bo B2X or Hurricane Long 5

    Yeah and don't worry about it honestly. I have used the same rubber (sriver g3) on the same blade (HL3) using three different glues (free check, copydex and bty glue sheets) and it made not a single difference and neither will a well applied thing layer of sealant
  3. Go for Fang Bo B2X or Hurricane Long 5

    I honestly have never not sealed one so couldn't say. But I have played with other blades sealed and unsealed and as long as you seal properly it makes little to no difference.
  4. Go for Fang Bo B2X or Hurricane Long 5

    Just what ever you do seal the blade. Any blade made by dhs without sealant may as well be considered single use!
  5. Go for Fang Bo B2X or Hurricane Long 5

    Since people don't want to be upfront. The X series have a thicker core and thinner outer plies making them faster and snappier The B2 and HL 5 as well as their x variants are the same blade construction (maybe not the same qc) but the handle is very very different with the bo series being...
  6. Need Advice On Hinoki Blade (J-pen)

    Xiom katana platinum is great value often popping up on tt11 for 1/2 price of cypress but just as good
  7. Wang Hao to Liang Jingkun: "You’ve Lost Already... It’s Not Bad You Got to Step On the Court... Cherish It!"

    I dont think it was a surprise at all they fielded LJK. They entered him into a lot of tournaments as a warm up and two things 1.) China do NOT field a young inexperienced team for big tournaments to stop a repeat of 2004 with pressure buckling and taking ZQH, LSD, XP and WRB would have been a...
  8. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    LJK ADC will move now well done to Loki for their investments into Liang Jing King
  9. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Well Alexis may be a little disappointing recently considering his debut but consider what he has done for the development of his younger brother and you might feel kinder towards him, without Alexis we have no Felix striving for the reigns.
  10. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    I think we are getting a little carried away while it would be nice for a FR JP final Alexis did very well. LJK is the grand slam from the neck down and used his head in this game. I think Alexis last game fell apart but honestly the tactic change worked perfectly, And yes AL should have got...

    Illegal serve ttr showed it going behind the head on the screen then somehow says it didnr
  12. Buying guide - Buying a blade for my brother.

    For a well established player I would actually suggest something like Budget: Yasaka MLEO More spinny: DONIC WC89 appelgren all+ (outer zlc blade but not too fast with excellent spinny cypress outers) Then whatever sensible rubbers you can find
  13. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Yep a nice surprise was the quality of the video feeds being excellent but there isnt even a physical scorecard you can see very silly stuff
  14. CAN YOU WIN AGAINST PIPS PLAYERS?

    Depends. Defensive anti or pips players no issue at my same level of course I loose to players better than me. I enjoy the predictable nature of pimples. But the pimple players who can hit well with glassy pips or anti I struggle with hugely but I think they are just better than me
  15. Run-in between Moregard and SBTF?

    My stance that moregardh won olympic silver in singles? Do I need a professional opinion on that or will the medal table do? The point that moregardh is a very strong player is backed by his ratings and medal lists. If someone wants to say if he had better fundamentals he could win more then...
  16. Run-in between Moregard and SBTF?

    If hao shuai was able to win that silver better than moregardh then why didn't they send him instead of wcq who notably didn't win it? Edit: I just realised, zeio why did you even consider the opinion that is "unless you can reliably beat the best player in the whole world you are not...
  17. Run-in between Moregard and SBTF?

    I suspect Tang Kwok Kei would be over the moon if he was half as successful as moregardh. People saying a top 5 former player and olympic silver medalist is a bad player needs to come from a gold medalist. And that is only because they have higher aspirations. Why should moregardh take...
  18. Run-in between Moregard and SBTF?

    Harimoto not take him seriously? Is this like Liam pitchford telling us he doesn't take jorgic seriously?
  19. Run-in between Moregard and SBTF?

    Got to be honest Sweden are a TT special country who has not cultivated a real top junior to success since the 1980s. This is the first talent they have brought to a top level in 60 years. Messi was treated specially by Argentina and so was maradona. If they want to demotivate their Olympic...
  20. Fang Bo to represent Kazakhstan in June for WTT events

    I suspect he wouldnt come out and say hey i'll play but I am not very good anymore. Of course he will aspire to be at the top!
