S Sure! but it's the closest you can get to experience the difference between the Zlc and Alc

All other things being equal, the difference between ZLC and ALC is a bit more complex than that. You have to differentiate speed at low swing speed impact and high swing speed impact. At slow swing speed impact ZLC is usually faster, the natural rebound is more pronounced. However at higher...

Go check your ears mate :)

The question was ask at 5-5 or 6-5 in first set between Togami and Kuo. The voice is clearly not Adam Bobrow who was commenting the match just before. If you can't tell the difference between their voices I can't do anything for you...

Bobrow was not commenting this match 🤦

Yes! That's the whole fucking problem 😂

Indeed, a rule can not be written with this kind of semantic debate possible 👍

I think you don't understand my take. I'm saying as of right now, the way the rule is written It's impossible to tell if the serve was legal or illegal, which is problematic. I'm saying he is wrong in the logic used to say the serve was indeed "legal"

But if you want to think, when your kid hides behind the curtain and you see his feet coming out, that you don't see your kid, well you are welcome to think it. You've just literally used the term "hides" to describe something that is partially visible, By your own logic and your own phrase...

In other WTT tournaments TTR reviews, this exact serve has been called illegal by the referee. Which is why the rule needs to be written properly.

No you just assume hiding something means 100% hiding it which is a semantic error. Something can be partially hidden. If 50% of the ball is hidden the phrase below in a logical standpoint is not respected. "it shall not be hidden from the receiver by the server". As or right now the rule is...

With this logic you could turn it the other way around. If a part of the ball is the ball as you said, then hiding a part of it is hiding the ball. "it shall not be hidden from the receiver by the server". Then it's an illegal serve. As of right now the rules clearly need to be either...

ITTF Statutes 2026, Law 2.6.4 “it shall not be hidden from the receiver by the server or his or her doubles partner or by anything they wear or carry.” A part of the ball is clearly hidden by his head on the screen. it's not clear in the playbook if "the whole ball" or "only a part of it"...

Confused here! By the ITTF rules is this legal or illegal? Ionescu lost his challenge on that.

You're confusing an absolute lab measurement with a relative comparison. I'm not trying to certify Butterfly's official sponge hardness; I'm comparing the overall firmness of assembled rubbers under the same conditions. I've done this on 50+ rubbers, and the relative Shore O readings...

Zyre is clearly faster! Zyre feels a bit harder than D80 when not boosted. Both are relatively similar in terms of spin sensitivity, but the ball rebounds faster on Zyre. I would say Zyre is harder to engage, but even when you don't engage you already have really decent speed. Maybe a bit...

Honestly I'm not sure. The durometer was applied on the sponge with the rubbers laid on a flat table. I can't tell if the hardness is lower for D80 vs D05, because the sponge is softer in it self or it's because of the topsheet difference. I don't think it's within normal variation because I...

D80 is exactly the rubber you are looking for! I had the exact same issue has you: forehand dominant! T05 hard to control on the backhand, D05 and D09C felt too slow or needed to much engagement. Switched to D80 (needed a week for adjustment) and never looked back. I use it on Mizutani ZLC...

I have never played with a viscaria salc unfortunately. The MZLC has a certain arc, not flat but not too much neither for me. The throw angle is medium I think and will depend on the rubbers you use. I don't think rebound speed gives any information to be honest. What matters is how the...

Hi everyone, Quick update on my journey with the Mizutani ZLC. My last message was a review of the Zyre 03 on the MZLC. After that, I tried the Zyre 03 boosted with one layer of Haifu Sea moon, using it on the FH. The rubber went from 51° to 46° degrees ESN (tested myself with a calibrated...
