Reproducing HZW's style. Take the opportunity.

He  Zhiwen is fast.  (he lost, but he is fast.)

Looks like sebas is back. Super.

The latter.  He was expected by CNT to be an equal to Chen Longcan, but underachieved.

What's the over-under on igorponger production of these opening posts in 2012?  I'll take 4...

Omg.
what does he uses?
lots of control flat hitting and even looping!
I want this on my backhand!

Thanks. I just read it:)
I like to do experiments;) I don't have a backhand topspin just ticking (punching) and blocking. that's


what would you recommend? 1.5 or 2.0 802-40 or just 802? just for experiment of course

802-40 @ 2.0mm

Speaking as an sp hitter blocker i find the 40 mm ball really helps because its so easy to soft block and make the looper play from near the floor. Against the better loopers you have mix the soft one with fast punch blocks otherwise they work out how to fix their timing
