Hi, The totality of evidence we have to-date, provided by an impressive group of analysts, forces the drawing of the conclusion that Butterfly has made a major mistake in its pricing of Dignics. The spectacular qualities of the Tenergy line so closely approached the optimal range of rubber...

Yes, I promise we will remember your prediction for later reference.

Very good thoughts; thanks. I have a contact in Germany that has discussed with Ovtcharov his efforts to be less "free roaming". Also, none other than the legendary Jun Mizutani has also engaged in the developmental process of playing closer to the table, as he, in what seemed to be but an...

Our devastating boy Harimoto blew into the scene on an irresistible tidal wave of sport's transformation, informing all in attention the value of at-the-table/close-to-the-table play (with China's Lin erasing any remaining skeptics by winning the China team trial with similar positioning, though...

Wang's last two matches against Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen demonstrated a dominant competency of a standard I have not seen since watching the great Li Xiaoxia take Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen apart in the Chinese Super League. Wang is scary powerful. I too hope for the best for Ito and the rest...

You may be correct about Chen Meng. I think Wang Manyu is the best women's player on Earth, although I would like that verified by a real match between them, as they are very close, reminiscent of our current Ma Long/Fan tango. Thanks.

Following your excellent insight, I believe I have uncovered a profound anticipatory premonition. My first thought upon encountering the naming use of "09c" was one of perplexing confusion, as I was unable to recall an incident in which Butterfly qualified an integer rubber appellation with a...

I heartily agree, although for the first time in history the revolution will be shared between two distinct, unique rubbers, Dignics and Tenergy. I anticipate we will look back at their launch as the "09c Revolution" and be struck, as the scientific world eventually looked at the Theories of...

Thank you. Your personal insights are helpful

Thank you for the valuable information and perspective.

Thank you for your comment. One perspective that is interesting is the view that Butterfly has of Rozena, as a strategic point of the company. Is it intended to "compete" with Tenergy, or "compete" with the Tenergy alternatives, or is it viewed as a stand alone rubber at an attractive price...

Oh gee: It was reported that Timo Boll was using the unreleased TENERGY 09C; now Dignics 09C is upon us? And tomorrow is the drop dead day for the release of Dignics 05. Do I have your full attention?

Now we have Timo and Tomo (and Dima)! (And, of course, The Dictator!)

Hi, Yes, very sad indeed. I loved watching him play. He was so ... well....Swedish! One of the crazy great Swedes of that era that we will forever miss. He was part of such a special table tennis time that the Swedes were the biggest contributors to. Now we may pause, with a slight smile...

Thank you for the interesting post!

Hi, Just as a side note: I've noticed for some time now that Samsonov's offensive shots - forehand and backhand - seemed decidedly stronger than in the past. It seemed very distinctive to me. Thanks.

Hi, The best perspective on Lily today, right now, is that she is a professional rookie, just after grinding through four years at an elite university, Berkeley. Under these considerations, she seems to be playing well to me, to be close to playing in the middle standard of the highest...

Hi, This good question should be answered by our experts with direct comparative references to the typical attributes among the three rubbers: speed, spin, throw, and responsiveness through the shot categories. Thanks.

Thank you for your post!

It is not unreasonable to view Xiaona Shan as the best European women's player playing today. While Lily is an impressive and wonderful competitor, Xiaona Shan is better than Lily and can certainly beat anybody in Europe. As Lily improves in her very-early-yet professional career, she will do...
