Ah, I have completely forgotten about that.

What happened in 2019?

I bought various nittaku rubbers from them in 2017-2018 and met the webshop owner in person at one of the tournaments. No issues whatsoever.

You read this serve same way you read any other serve - the trajectory of the ball over the table for side-under/side-topspin variants is different, and you need to get your brain to associate these trajectories with the underlying spin and consequently appropriate return. If you cannot find...

No, he wasn't playing against LGY.

Yeah, cannot recall the last time having to use the VPN for this. Could've been some weird youtube app/caching glitch. P.S.: I hate geo-blocking with a passion! 😠

And now the livestream from the Infinity Arena appeared on WTT's YT channel without using any VPNs. Here's the link in case it does not show up for someone else:

Yeah. Hmm, tried USA/Japan/Hong Kong/Singapore VPN endpoints - no livestream for T1. Tried France - profit. Strange.

No livestream from the Infinity arena on YT?

Brushing under and side of the ball as you describe requires a long and low ball, probably even below table level. Try keeping the ball as short as possible on the table and attacking strongly first. Ok, so he's left-handed. If you were playing a right-hander who stood in the same spot and...

Contrary to popular belief, his bh loop is not too shabby at all!

Ma Long has just given us all a masterclass on how to play left-handers. This will be a classic match studied by everyone. Had I been a TT left-hander, I'd be reconsidering my chosen sport :-) Awesome performance from the GOAT.

For some reason, Tibhar decided to market most of the rubbers in the K series - K1, K1 plus, K1 Pro, K2, K2 Pro - almost exclusively targeting the China market. Only K1 euro and K3 had been officially sold through Tibhar dealers in Europe or North America. That is the real reason why K1/K2...

This so true and so underappreciated - playing at any non-trivial level with LPs (or antispin) is actually very difficult and requires a lot of skill - just as much as playing well with inverted - precisely because it becomes much harder to control the ball. They are not a magic silver bullet to...

No idea, it was just published on that YT channel. Found the rematch: Still think HZW got it ;)
