Update - How to watch region blocked BWF live streams and recent videos of tournaments

Created this video due to quite a number of requests for a update as the Opera browser had been updated. Thus the previous procedure was not so intuitive any longer.



Enjoy!


Note - this video is for enabling Opera on a andoid device but the technique is applicable for PC, etc or where-ever Opera can be installed

Difference between string which snap due to usage vs a "mis-hit"

How do you tell the difference between a string which broke from natural wear&tear vs from a "mis-hit" eg from hitting the feather?

Here are two examples - the pix(s) are pretty much self explanatory (or "clear-cut")😄


Due to wear and tear

Due to "mis-hit"

From the pix(s) you can tell the string which snap due to wear and tear has evidence of fraying before it gave way from the stringing tension.

Likewise, the string which snap due to a "mis-hit" shows some form of a clean-cut-thru before the string tension caused failure.
