  1. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    Unbelievable.. I wasn't supposed to be there on the final day but a friend wrote to me last minute to book tickets for the final. So glad I went.
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    A few of my clubmates are attempting to beat the worlds longest TT rally. TTdaily has the current record of 13 hours and 36 minutes. They're currently at 8 and a half hours in.. let's see if they can make it. Pretty crazy.
  3. Was it a mistake? Should Franziska have been picked for the Olympics?

    It's easy to underestimate the skill to perform under pressure. Personally I think I lack it but I've seen it in teammates etc. It raises their level while reducing the opponents. Perhaps it's different at pro level or maybe it's even exacerbated because of real stakes. Still there is clearly a...

    From what he said and the way he said it there, yeah.

    "So damn bad" (referring to himself)
  6. WTT Contender Doha 2024

    I really hope you don't have kids lol.
  7. 19th Asian Games Hangzhou

    Perhaps Harimoto isn't as talented as you make him out to be (what are you even considering to be "talent?"). Maybe it was just the training from a very young age with experienced parents and players and he isn't as talented as you believe him to be. Would that change your attitude towards him...
  8. FZD - will he be the next Wang Hao?

    To be fair, WCQ has the bigger head. Isn't his nickname in China big head or something? ;)
  9. 19th Asian Games Hangzhou

    Just a question. Why are you holding Harimoto to such high standards compared to other players? You come across with a strange bias in your posts, which is fine of course, just curious where it's coming from? You speak with so much confidence on some of these things. But the truth is that you...
  10. Why are top players sometimes hitting a forehand with the left foot in the air?

    Yes, because you can also stand up straight and just rotate the hips/waist without using the leg muscles to push off. So isn't entirely accurate either imo. But there's always a trade-off with how much detail you can describe. I just like to know what to aim for and how to do it in what order...
  11. Why are top players sometimes hitting a forehand with the left foot in the air?

    I always found the term weight transfer misleading. You can literally stand straight up with no rotation and move your weight from one foot to the other. Will that help with swinging the arm using the legs and body? Just because weight moved from one foot to the other doesn't say that much. But...
  12. TAKING ON THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! | TTD Team vs Team Sweden

    It isn't team Eslöv though. Jon nor Pär play for Eslöv. It was just played there.

  14. European Team Table Tennis Championships 2023

    The atmosphere in the hall.. :love::love:
  15. European Team Table Tennis Championships 2023

    We were so worried.. man the feeling was indescribable. We we're thinking if there's any point in even going to watch tomorrow if we lost. Things looked so shakey, Kristian kept serving long, serving high or having trouble with Majoros serve. His game is so much all or nothing. But he pulled...
