  1. MA LONG - THE GOATEST of all GOATS

    With that argument, then you can add Ma Long's win in China national championship (maybe the toughest TT tournament) and wins at WTTC. In terms of level of competition, Olympics isn't really the highest level for table tennis.
  2. Man vs Woman, anyone watching this?

    Chinese team internal match, man's olympics team vs woman's olympics team. matches are best of 7, but score doesn't start from 0-0 (man's team would surely win in that case), instead * odd game starts at 8-6, and * even game starts at 9-8 So far, seems like both side are trying to play as well...
  3. Ding Ning retired!

    It's been a long time coming, and it's official now https://inf.news/en/sport/eedde75fe3b7c65fa5a996dc48d00920.html Ding Ning was always one of my favorite player to watch, I wonder if she's going to return as a coach some day.
  4. World Championships 2021 in America

    I was really hoping to go, but with COVID and the specific time (peak travel time, crowded transportation, hotel). I am probably going to pass. :(
  5. Here's Why Ma Long is the Greatest Table Tennis Player Of All Time!

    This video is just showing ML had a great tournament. To have a convincing argument of who's the GOAT or even best player of the year, we have to compare ML against other top players. ps. I do think ML might be the GOAT, but this video doesn't show that at all.
  6. Best table tennis robot - Amicus prime or Power pong 5000

    Exactly, I don't practice against the top spin setting simply because it's not realistic that I would ever face a human player that can produce spin to those extreme levels.
  7. Best table tennis robot - Amicus prime or Power pong 5000

    I guess I don't know the exact answer, the control used to manipulate spin is not based on motors. Basically you can control (each can be controlled independent from others) * top/under spin * left/right side spin * speed of the ball * projection of the ball btw, speed + project and to...
  8. Best table tennis robot - Amicus prime or Power pong 5000

    You can control it to do pretty much any kind of spin combination, and the degree of spin is far higher than pretty much any human player that I have ever faced. For example, the backspin it can produce will almost completely stop the ball from moving forward on the first bounce on your side of...
  9. World Table Tennis Macao 2020

    I think the problem is that they are not doing any Open events right now where anyone reasonably good can join, all the events we are witness right now are exclusive invitation events where basically only top 20 player can attend. And you are right, in the absent of other events, this would...
  10. 16 year old Fan Zhengdong vs 16 year old Harimoto, who's better

    Definitely true, HT is no doubt very talented. However, if Harimoto is on CNT today, he would be ranked below ML and FZD, and probably XX as well, so basically no shot of playing World Cup and Olympics Single. ps. I am not saying FZD is more talented, but we can't simply compare titles at the...
  11. 16 year old Fan Zhengdong vs 16 year old Harimoto, who's better

    Fan zhengdong started international competition from 15 and quickly moved up the rank, and Harimoto obviously started much earlier. Who do you think it is the better or more complete player at age of 16? I think Harimoto at this point is slightly better than FZD at 16, but it's not by too much.
  12. Best table tennis robot - Amicus prime or Power pong 5000

    There are some issues with the app, but the support team is pretty good with answer question, and there are some recent update (I haven't loaded it yet though) that hopefully solves some issue. I think the difference between export/prime is actually larger than you think, the lcd screen with...
  13. 57 years old He Zhi Wen beating WR63!!!

    thanks for sharing, this is fantastic.
