  1. Matsushima Sora (Japan)

    harimoto definitely is not 178 as stated in wikipedia. wiki is tricky, it states ma long is 175 cm, and I think he is a few cm taller , harimoto probably around 168-170 in my eyes
  2. Soft vs Hard Rubbers – Which One Gives Better Blade Feeling?

    virtuoso works excellent with tenergies, and u will have more feedback with the softer rubbers, with the normal 05's the feeling is probably the same but once you learn to accelerate on contact u will see no difference. Once you solidify your technique with the 05 fx you can go for the harder...
  3. A stiff all-wood with a soft feel?

    do not confuse stiffness with solid feel. stiff woods by default cannot have a soft feeling for example primorac blade korbel and stiga clipper all have limba and ayous but the softer feel is to primorac blade which has the more flex and vibration also, korbel in the middle an stiga clipper...
  4. Soft vs Hard Rubbers – Which One Gives Better Blade Feeling?

    ur just an ignorant little kid. u must try harder to troll us.
  5. On receiving serve, why the receivers are always squatting low, eye level on the net, but when the opponent toss the ball, the receiver stand up?

    fang bo and zhang jike when they are familiar with the opponent serve, they react/move inside the table alot before contact is made, and they rely on their very good reflexes and BH if the ball is long. Ma long has a more safe approach . In general what makes you feel comfortable, silly looking...
  6. On receiving serve, why the receivers are always squatting low, eye level on the net, but when the opponent toss the ball, the receiver stand up?

    the receiver is not standing up BEFORE the ball is tossed, he stands a bit up IN SYNC with the ball when toss is occured and falls down again in sync with the ball , when it is falling down before contact. The momentum helps you start your footwork like a spring. If you begin too stiff you wont...
  7. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    The mixed doubles final was on saturday, the mens singles final was on sunday. How did you count 3 hours? allthough for some players 3 hours is more than enough, doubles are far faster in duration than singles and with less intensity. For some players it can even act as a mental/physical warmup...

    I dont think he is implying anything since hugo is in the photo also. The near future will definitely show us if something is indeed happening. With monteiro coaching or not, silver medal in wttc is even bigger achievement than winning the world cup, unfortunately no one will remember that he...

    dude seriously you can't just study hard someone in a few hours. they know who hugo is for the past 10 years A match is full of dynamics, just because you watch a video of someone, does not mean he will play exactly as expected in the upcoming games
  10. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    Yes indeed, hugo threw the first set away giving WCQ a present. WCQ wwas so solid though that even being 2-0 down my guess is he would clinch the title. Laser focus through every point and without any mental fluctuations

    I had the same question in my mind actually. He seemed to be doing really well in the chinese trials in 2017 and looked rather promising
  12. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    He literally gave the set away to WCQ, two very hasty backhands went out and he made more unforced errors He has to realize that he has nothing to be jealous or fear against the chinese. His performance lately proved that with the current chinese pot of players his playing level is equal. A few...

    Ptsd..that was hilarious
  14. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    IF... IF ... If wang hao had retired in 2011, then ma long would have 15 world championships and 4 olympic gold medals. but wang hao didnt retire did he
  15. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    learn how to speak proper english. what the f is tiebea? the only reason hugo won by 11 to 9 is that he kept missing easy balls and was too eager to attack secure balls from LJK. LJK didnt made an extraordinary comeback like people like to believe. He just fed the ball back to the table with...
  16. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    No I am not blind, you have to realize that the pro players are not some uber smart tacticians than everyone elese. TT is really simple, and when liang jingkun is losing 1-0 in sets and keep making easy serves for hugo to attack, then you can see foryourself he is not the smartest guy out there...
  17. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    It is in the player's responsibility to control and take care of his body. It is a human "need" only in the amateur level When you are a pro you can easily program in advance literally everything. It is very difficult to discard such a rule, the same thing has happened in tennis and...chess !
