There are actually not so many skill oriented differences between an 1800 and 2000 when it comes to technical ability, it's almost exclusively match-based. I would say one of the biggest things that can make a difference is making the first loop against any and every long ball and being able to...

Third vlog and final from Chongqing!

We are truly blessed to have Timo playing during our lifetimes! :)

Still going, half way there!

Day 1 of my visit to Chongqing!

Trying to get these out as quick as I can haha Day 3 is up!

Day 2 of my time in Beijing!

For the most part, earlier ball timing, more compact shots close to table and also many of the women’s players are much more likely to cover 2/3 with backhand, so a lot more backhand across the middle of the table in rallies than in the men’s game

Hi all! I just spent two weeks in China and am making some recap vlogs from my trip. Hopefully it’s something that might interest you. Here is the first day for the Beijing Vlog!

Haha no Lepler does not have a card, nor coaches it’s players only

I opened four boxes of the new MLTT sport trading cards from Leaf! Pretty fun box opening and cool to open cards of people I know and see so often at Major League.

It depends whether it’s banned overall or for in-competition. Anyway as I said it’s only an issue if you are competing at national team level or in big events. I would imagine there are many people playing club level or local tournaments taking different medications

Kaden does have a really nice forehand game and technique for sure :D

The best thing to do is to check your medication on the WADA list or on your national anti doping federation banned list if you are competing in national tournaments etc. You'd be surprised what can show up on there. I had to go through the process a couple of years ago when I was taking...

I'm not comparing racket sports, I'm asking if other individual sports have group stages in their professional tours. Yes tennis matches are long so it's not really viable for timing. My main point is that the players who are really serious about competing on the tour wouldn't be thinking about...

To be completely fair for the higher level professional athletes they are not there to get more matches in and get value for their money, they are there to win. Perhaps for the Feeder events a group stage is more appropriate, but they do have qualification draws, so if you can't compete at that...

The chinese audience don’t seem to care about charisma 🤣

Respectfully disagree, WCQ and SYS have literally changed the landscape of the table tennis audience in this generation. People are showing up to table tennis events all over the globe purely to support their favourite players. There are far more people going to table tennis events as fans...

I think you also have to consider that the competition landscape has changed significantly as well. There are now a total of 11 major events from WTT with 4 Smashes and 6 Champions, WTT Finals, as well as World Champs, World Cup, World Mixed Team Cup. Often we see players going week in and out...

I'm looking forward to it but I don't think this movie will have a very long-lasting impact on table tennis. A lot of people are extremely hyped about it. I think it's going to be a great film and will spike interest in the sport and give it some good publicity, but I think it will be quite...
