He indeed was the last one, but it was a wonderful team effort I would say.

I really hope France and Japan meet in the final again...

Wang Chuqin is standing alone here. Some other Chinese player has to wake up and step up. I would definitely try out XP if I was Wang Hao, as the other ones who he tried definitely did not step up. Lin Shidong played absolutely terrible, Liang JingKun gave some signs of awakening but also...

Yes they can and most likely will win it all, but still, not unbeatable anymore: they have been beaten and that has brought down a 26 years wall. There is only Wang Chuqin there now, guarding a broken wall. My money is on them losing these world championships.

China's unbeatable era has finally come to its end. I really hope someone else takes the title, and I'm hoping for France.

I guess they are 1 player deep. Happy that Oh Sang Eun could finally beat China for the first time through his son. Never give up :P

1.5 deep I would say. Wang Chuqin can't afford any mistakes, Lin Shidong is quite beatable by quite many players, numbers 3 to 5 are just not worth top 10. I don't think I have seen such a vulnerable China since they lost their last world championship, am I right in remembering it in the year...

Looks like he plays very good tabletennis. I wonder how deep Korea's ranks are, does someone know if they have an internal league or something? They are just not that well known like Chinese and Japanese are.

I am trying for the first time FromJapan on your suggestion, it was really cheap (60 euros but I still have to pay transportation and then custom fees). Let's see how good it is when it arrives!

Or the dear old boosted Hurricane, unmatched in serve and return

The problem is that years and years of "game-sense" and in-point strategies have to be changed drastically when you pass from double inverted with a good backhand to long pips, and that takes time, often a long time, multiple seasons if you are at an advanced level (unless your game was already...

I have to confess I don't really follow too deep on Zeio unless he is intelligible in what he writes on the single posts without references or Chinese, he loses me on multiple auto-references that look like russian dolls and different languages (English is already my 3rd language, I have no time...

I think they are quite normal requests for the number 2 player in the world, except the first one, if he wants his personal coach in teams events and to choose him, well he pays for him.

Well, without Harimoto and Sora I don't think they would have a shot to any medal. With them they now have a very credible shot to medals of any color. They are solid top 10 players, whilst the others are not really close in base level. But maybe you are talking of the women?

There's nothing like experience to convince you of something 😁

Ok I had never weighed any of my rackets, and I knew I prefer them on the heavy side, but I was surprised when I saw my main one is this heavy. But I love the sturdy feeling I get from it, it just feels so powerful and stable. Since last week I have been trying DNA dragon power 55 max on...

Indeed I have written a mail to @SDC 10 days ago and I am waiting for him to answer and give me a number :ROFLMAO: . I know they do behave and feel differently, which is what I am curious to try, as I am really not well versed in outer fibers blade. Hahaha yes yes I am trying to resist my...

@NoSpin I don't know how I missed the acoustic outer, it seems like a great option and at a great price! I surely will buy it at a certain point (I owned the acoustic inner at a certain point but it was quite underwhelming for me)

Haha I am perfectly aware there is no wisdom here, no suggestions on interesting limba outer blades (or cool viscaria-like blades)? I accept even butterfly suggestions @Gozo Zyreruna :ROFLMAO: (I know Freitas ALC exist, I would try it second hand though, not buy a new one)

Dear fellow EJs, should I buy tibhar MK carbon that is on sale this week or should I wait for the VS unlimited to be on sale? I've always wanted to try an outer carbon with limba external ply (as I strongly prefer Limba to Koto usually), which would mean wait for the VS or a similar blade to be...
