wow, you can dope your racket? what a sport!

e: also, are they not showing the quarterfinals on youtube?

e2: looks like a french channel has it: https://www.youtube.com/RMCSport

The difference between a Sriver L and a freshly glued Bryce FX is like a go kart to a spaceship, if you can control that poo poo.

I once played vs a regional pro player as 6yr TT novice, you never forget that impact, you can hardly block that.

so which of these two countries are you from ;)

But yeah, WTT seems to bring a lot of payment barriers now :barf:.
I'm aware of some in JPN, FRA, KOR, and here in GER where it's also for ordinary league matches. It's why I watched relatively little of the WTC.

You still play? Because those two rubbers you mentioned are kinda... outdated. (but goon-age appropriate :cheeky:)

But I mean you are right. The massive differences are there, whether in the old fresh glue times or with the 'built-in effect' now.

Nah, stopped playing around the time the build in effect rubber came to the market. I kinda changed clubs to play in the 3rd lowest league with a new team, but we kinda dissolved. TT is amazing, but i really sucked at reading the spin.
