He is saying that you are doing what you always do. You are refusing to acknowledge that the way people are using words, are different than how you want them to use those words.
This is so woke! So words can mean what you want them to mean.
The real test is if they can find links that prove what they say. Otherwise you and this site is perpetuating misinformation.
Also, people not eventually learn. All of this could have be resolved 10+ years ago.
So you are taking those words, using your definitions for those words, and then arguing with the nonsensical meanings you create which are different than what the person originally intended by what they wrote.
FALSE! I can/have posted links to the standard definitions.
Note Lazer's explanation of speed and control in post #12.
He started off with the ball has power. How many 100W balls do you have in your pocket?
The rest was OK but then I simply asked Lazer to calculate the power of the ball traveling 10 m/s
Zwill spolied the fun with the right answer. So balls don't have power for the reason Zwill stated and I backed up his statement the the formula for power.
It sounds to me like a classic statement that even though we know a racket (blade and/or rubbers) do not control anything,
Yes, I have said the same myths get perpetuated over and over gain until challendged.
certain equipment may be easier to control for certain shots than other equipment.....certain equipment may make it easier for you to control certain types of shots
Yes!
.....and refusing to acknowledge that the "common" usage of a word like control in TT does not mean anyone thinks that the equipment exerts any kind of control on anything is actually a bit strange.
Do you think it is right that TT manufacturers mislead young players that don't know the truth when the post a "control" rating?
It is easy to just acknowledge the figure of speach and move on, whereas, what you generally do is insist someone saying that a particular piece of equipment "has good control" means the person actually thinks the equipment is actually exerting the control.
I will ask the same. Why can't we acknowledge people have control and move on.
People have feedback and the power to control things. Blades and rubbers don't.
BTW, the part about different equipment makes it easier to do different things is good but off topic.
I thought we were talking about speed and power.
So, once again, you are not trying to understand what other people are trying to say and instead, when they use certain words that are, for you, buzz words, you insist on interpreting those words how you WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO USE THEM, rather than in the way the person writing intended his words to be understood.
So you want the myths to persist.
BTW: I do feel your first post in this thread was fine. You were presenting information and not responding to anyone else in the thread.
lazer didn't.
I actually thought it was good. And I do see you did not initiate the conflict.
Finally! Yet you are writing this to me, not Lazer.
You are not alone in acting like an argumentative person (you never are, it does take two, but I would like you to learn how to avoid these kinds of flame wars, I really would). Nor do I think Lazer is being civil saying he thinks you are making a fool of yourself. He may believe that. I may think you are both making yourselves look less mature than you should be since you are both elder statesmen. But, I think think you are both behaving with fairly poor manners if I am honest.
There should be no argument. Arguments require a difference in opinion. There should be no arguments about common facts.
BTW, this thread has gone off topic and down hill since Zwill and I have established that TT balls don't have power. There are too many false opinions. There are so misconceptions that people can't prove.
Is it too much to ask people to post a link to prove what they are saying or do opinions rule here and all opinions are equal?
