WTT sucks. I can’t understand the schedule, draw, I couldn’t watch any game online because it’s just not clear when it should be. The information is just completely unreadable. I didn't even get to the problems of video streaming, I can't even find a list of games for tomorrow, at what time and...

If you noticed, starting from the https://www.ittf.com/tournament/5008/2019/2019-ittf-world-tour-bulgaria-open/ ITTF World Tour 2019, ASAREL Bulgaria Open Seamaster has ceased to be a title sponsor. Despite the fact that the contract was through 2020 inclusive...

Howw much time they need? China super league using similar rules several years already. The same in Russia. And nobody likes them. You have not pointed anything meaningful. You are just trying to silence all those whose point of view does not suit you. I am not a specialist in English insults...

I do not agree with you. I gave the arguments why the new rules fail. You suggest simply not to discuss it. Ridiculous. New ranking system is ok. But this does not mean that all other changes are also automatically good.

Yes, certainly. They do tests and we can discuss the results, can't we?

A little thought. Parties in table tennis can be divided into two types - with the overwhelming advantage of one player, a total of 16 points or less (11-5.11-3, etc.) and with more or less equal game, 17 points or more (11-8 , 11-9 and so on). I argue that the second type (equal game) is more...

In internet stores there are two different envelopes associated with Friendship 729 Battle II Provincial: Who know - what is the difference?

If I buy new blade or new rubber - I am playing like fire 1-2 weeks, then the quality of the game falls. I take my old bat - - I am playing like fire 1-2 weeks again. Conclusion 1 - if you want to test a new one bat - use it 2-3 weeks. Conclusion 2 - a good idea to have two setup, one fast, the...

I know very interesting vlog on YouTube of Russian professional TT coach. His students are in the national team for mini-cadets and cadets. A lot of "player tributes", "professional trainings", professional match analysis. But unfortunately everything is in Russian...

As far as I know, at all times, and in the 38mm era, and in the 40mm era, and in the plastic era - the backspin of the blockers was always much weaker than backspin of the classic or modern defenders, and did not cause problems in the serial attack of the attackers. Problems for the attackers...

Yes. But deception and backspin is not the only way to get opponent in troubles. I don't know right English term, in Russia, we say something like "play in the perfect right place and time". https://youtu.be/VxfH2S7qE-s

2002 European Table Tennis Championships Ni Xialian, LP blocker - gold medal in singles. Also medals in 1998, 2000, 2007, 2018. https://youtu.be/-rEub9UkaA4 Commonwealth Games 2018 Manika Batra, LP blocker - gold medal in singles. Beaten Feng Tianwei and Yu Mengyu. Chinese super league. Zhou...

Yes. The main problem for blockers is to return ball back to the other side of the table after opponent attack with very fast ball. Deception and backspin is the secondary, not the main target. Women playing not so fast balls as man. Plastic not so fast as celluloid. So now we can see some...

I heard the theory that with a new plastic ball the pips gained some advantage, especially SP or LP blocking near the table. Because of this, top level players who use pips have recently risen in the world rankings. Example with SP: Mima Ito WR7 FALCK Mattias WR12 At least half Japanese...

Please, let me know, who is Lin Gaoyuan coach on China Open 2018? Liu Guozheng?
