One of my favorite parts about TT is analyzing things - and then drawing conclusions based on my thoughts. I just watched and collected some thoughts on this match between Lin Shidong vs Lin Yun-Ju from Macao 2024. When it comes to learning from pro matches it can sometimes be difficult to...

Idk if anyone pointed out your Jimmy Carr joke, but I like it.

What a fcking match! 3:2 Match 9:9 Meng with an insane Ripping backhand 11:9 in the 5th for Fulda

Do Kao and Meng speak communicate in english or mandarin? + Meng's father as coach

I want to train...

The umpires don't get enough attention at home, they're letting it out on the players. These serve calls are so strange.

What are we thinking for the doubles? Individually, I see it on Kao/Meng to lose (I think they're better), but it comes down to whether or not Meng can stay in it.

If he can keep this level and carry it to internationals, it would be so great for our sport. A serious contender for the titles. Dima at his peak is a real threat to anyone, including the Chinese, but eversince 2021 we couldn't see him at that level throughout 1 entire tournament. In this...

Thats what I like to see!

Dima on fire, thats what we like to see!

To all Germans / people paywalled behind DYN: In case you didn't know, you can watch the TTBL streams on YT with VPN to France.

I find that it can just be a skill issue. Whatever won you the first 2 sets might not win you another set. For example: You win 2 sets 11-9, each time because you got aces with your serves. He got used to your serves now and you struggle. Also you didn't get used to hitting backhand loops...

I didn't read any of the thread yet, but my opinion is that Tenergy was holding europeans back the whole time and they were disadvantageous because of it. Primarily on forehand but also in parts on backhand. - Short touch and receive games was a big factor - Less power in rallies - although it...

I literally just finished watching the match live in the hall and have some footage of a couple of points, none of the good points though. All of Dortmunds Players are lefties. 1. Every single serve with exception of maybe 2 or 3 were short/half long to the forehand. Some underspin, some no...

The idea is boosting the topsheet, just you would boost the sponge. What I tried: 1 layer of haifu seamoon on the topsheet of: - a long worn out tenergy 05 - a very used Loki Rxton 9 And let them dry for a day or so. The T05 got a little bit sticky, more spinny and definitely interesting...

I found this to be a decent option. Very slightly larger head. Light weight with short pips on backhand. Not too fast for chopping, good control and enough power for attacking. A bit stiff, not flexible like other similar blades. Yang Wang also uses Harimoto ALC for chopping, although his...

Imo, unless you want to seriously want to work on your backhand technique for a longer time, You should stick to what you are comfortable and confident with. While Chinese rubbers offer more things overall, they require better and more sophisticated technique. Blocking is one of them...

Incredible match in terms of rallies, display of athleticism, technique, speed and power. Not much tactically. Not trying to compare it to any other matches, just wanted to share it. This is just the one I happened to watch just now.

Incredible performance by Lin Shidong. 4-0 over Dang Qiu - superior in every part of the game today.

Sun Yingsha is back to winning titles again.
