No, I'm talking about someone who deliberately attempts to waste people's time with these fake accounts. I don't care that much and I haven't alerted any mod about it, but it sucks to see it happen to friendly posters like Carl.

Hm, I didn't use the report button, maybe someone else did. Anyway, there have been many threads like this one, always made by new accounts, always the same questions and patterns, always trying to lead people on like this. What is the pattern? Just see the responses to Carl's posts. Carl...

Fake spam account... as if a Macedonian would use inches.

Oh right sorry. I saw another picture which made the handle look very long, I must have totally misjudged the angle.

Look at the long handle, it's a shakehand blade. Must be a backup blade he borrowed from someone.

Nice photos, thanks Tommy. Hehe it looks funny, but pro athletes do burn a lot of calories.

Why not Acuda S2 both sides.

Chartres has a big lead from the first round, but it's a little premature to say that.

Yes :( It's a shame for players like Samsonov and Maze and Crisan and others. I think Gacina and Freitas have won something as a doubles pair, was it a medal (gold?) in the Euro championships of 2010 or 2011? We also saw Samsonov team with Ovtcharov in the last Euros.

I think the claims came from the Japanese sports media. But you can't trust tabloid media on these matters.

There are a lot of new products in TT now, especially now that some brands are releasing stuff for Paris WTTC. Maybe too much to keep track of everything and be excited ;). Especially with so many German rubbers, Bluefire, Rasant, V-01, the secret Adidas rubbers, it's hard to be excited for yet...

Just saw the thread, I know a guy who plays PF4 on an allround+ blade and his near-table attack is very dangerous like you say. If you want to try a more modern sticky Chinese rubber that plays fairly well without booster, I think Giant Dragon Taichi hard is on sale for around 6€ at...

If you just want to test long pips, I don't think there's any point in buying expensive equipment. What if you try LPs for 30 minutes and you find that you really don't like playing with them. I'm not updated on new LPs but a safe choice is Friendship 755 with no sponge, or sponge less than 1mm...

Hm not to sound like a nagging parent, but try to pass the make-up exam, T!Christian ;). But I really understand that you wanted to go all in for this PoP job you are doing for ITTF, especially if you want to continue doing digital media as your future grown-up job.

Great find, Super Chopper. Agree with Michal, looking forward to Xu Xin + Mattenet. Wonder who'll coach them.

Limba looks sort of "swirly" like this: Koto typically has a straighter and sort of staccato pattern But it's not always easy to look at a blade and tell the difference.

Good job, I like that he used some clips from lesser famous tournaments as well.

Waah, I hope more players grow their hair out like Liu Shiwen. Slightly disappointed to see Ding Ning adopt the "Guo Yan bowlcut", she looked cooler with the old haircut when it was styled with hairspray or gel or whatever. I realise it's impractical with long hair, though.

Yes, if you add marker points all over the ball. But that would make it easier for the players to read the spin as well.

Werder have a decent chance? CCY could win over Boll (45/55?) and Crisan can win over Baum (60/40?), not sure about Cioti vs Süss. (40/60?)
