Vote Early, Vote Often...

Kudos to all and to OOAK for providing the forum.

i voted for palio. two reasons. first is thor's which actually showed something new in TT world, to bring some chinese approach to TT married with superior production technology of ESN, at good price. well done palio the second is palio CJ8000 biotech series with japanese sponge - although unfortunately seems that these rubbers are not consistent (and very doubtful if sponges are truly japanese made as declared), the succesful batches offer incredible value/price, biotech sponge is very good sponge when batch is good and topsheet are of good quality

Totally agree about Palio, and their innovation with Thor's.

I must admit that I'm really intrigued by the voting in this category. At this point, Palio has twice the number of votes that CTT has. If I do a search using "Thor" as the search term in the topic title there are 4 matches; if I do the same search using Pogo as the term, it comes back with 15 matches. If I repeat the searches only this time searching both subjects and text, the numbers are 214 versus 1161. Clearly Pogo is far more talked about than Thor's, and I would have expected that to translate into votes. Apparently not.

If we compare CTT Pogo against Yinhe, Yinhe has more topics (23) but far fewer posts (398). Again I would have expected Pogo to have swung the voting. Well done Yinhe and Palio, but I'm left scratching my head about this. What have they got that CTT hasn't?

Pogo is a good LP, but there are other good LPs... it's a matter of preference. Palio have produced something unique and innovative that others have not done before... a Tensor that is actually tacky. That is why it gets my vote.

What is/are the pressing reason(s) behind Galaxy's strong showing?

I would think their new rubbers, the likes of Sun, Moon, etc.

again, i don't understand one thing

i've noted that two manufacturers were nominated, yet they were not included for voting: xiom and DHS

how come they were not put in the poll?

Oops... where were you at the start of this poll? No-one else picked up on this?
The fact that no-one said anything probably means no-one missed out on being able to vote for their favourite manufacturers, but if you're inferring that this vote is flawed, then I guess you're right

That's what you get when you have an over-worked and under-paid admin running this poll.
