I know on paper, sponge thickness are designed for a certain effect and style of play but how is it really in reality or actual play? Is 0.5 significantly different to 1.0? And 1.0 to 1.5? I have a 1.5 right now and wondering if buying and changing to 0.5 will be worth the money? Or just stick to 1.5? I want to develop a modern defender style chopping on backhand far from the table and attack on FH when there is a chance.

Next round will be against her former partner and chopper Hashimoto. It is unfortunate that these two great choppers will meet early in the tournament. Only one will move on to the next round.

How and where can we watch the Table 1 of US Smash?

These two-minute highlights of WTT US Smash can be really frustrating. Just do a 10-minute video of the matches instead.

I am happy he got this one beating Hugo Calderano. I am a fan too of Hugo but I have been wanting Togami to get a win for a bit long time now. 🏓💪🔥👏

I really wonder what exactly happened to Lin Shidong. He had early exits for the two recent Contender events aside from his other big losses in the past months. Maybe he needs a new coach? trainor? sparring partner? I remember watching Ma Long and Zhang Jike's trainings when Liu Gouliang was the head coach. CNT was really unbeatable.

This will be interesting. A current CNT rising star vs a returing champ.

With confusing information about Honoka Hashimoto's set up(some say she uses Goriki Supercut, the defensive model and Nittaku listing it to be the regular Goriki, the offensive model which is similar to the danshi model and even on her ITTF interview she said she uses Goriki but I am not sure if she just failed to specify it as the Supercut version), can you share your first hand experience how different the Supercut and the regular Goriki are for the modern defensive style particularly if you copied Honoka's set up with H3 on FH and Doknuckle on BH? Thank you.

I was scrolling on one of my social media apps and I could no longer remember which one and someone made a comment on a post about Lin Yun Ju's Viscaria that what he is using has a larger head size than the commercial ones. I know for a fact that pros has customized blades. Their blades still has the same name but they could be thicker and the handle may be different but it is rare to have a larger head size that what commercial ones have. Anyone here could give some info for this?

I really wanted to have a Goriki Supercut buy I still don't have a budget as it is too expensive. But I have a Diode V. Anyone here tried Do Knuckle on a Diode V? Can you share your experience? It will be great if you have tried both Diode V and Goriki Supercut and share your experience. How different really are these two blades?

Who else here enjoys watching the World Championships WITHOUT the commentators. They are back in the round of 16. They were not there before that.

I personally do not like having commentators as I want to watch the games RAW. You know, I like watching like I am in a movie theater. You don't want people talking and making noise while watching.

But it could be just me.

I am excited for this match up. Will Winter's team beat Kim Kum Yong's team? Great match up ahead in round of 16.

Anyone experiencing some lags. Just want to check if it is the game or my phone or my internet. Thanks

Felix against Harimoto was top-spinning everything. Total domination with 3-0 in their latest encounter.

"Felix Lebrun "on" machine mode."

Anyone knows why North Korea's opposing team, I think it is Congo, didn't show up today. That was a waste of opportunity to watch the North Korean team, especially Kim Kum Yong.

After a long wait, I can now watch one of my favorite players again. I hope her team can get at least to the Semi-finals.
