  3. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    😄 If someone scores 8 points in one set on someone's FH and those points almost always occur after a ball change from BH > FH, then you can say that something is wrong with your opponent and that you have found your opponent's weak point. This is an observation that is not difficult to see, but...

    This! I noticed this when he was 13 years old. He is a great player, but he has a (natural) shortcoming, especially because he is BH-oriented. The problem is there and will always be there. It's not a problem of forehand > backhand, he's always on time and often even has an attacking response...

    What is a calculated decision? No, no, for sure a technical deficiency. Tomo's forehand is already much better than last year, but it's sad to see that he still has no reaction when switching from backhand to forehand. You noticed it yourself! And Truls saw it clearly. And indeed, in my opinion...

    Not that difficult to understand, I thought.
  7. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    I briefly "analyzed" Truls' points. In the first set, Truls scored 8 points, 8 times on Tomo's forehand!!!... In the second set, 5 of his 11 points were to/via Tomo's forehand. Third set = 5/9, fourth set = 8/12, fifth set = 5/12, sixth set = 2/2, or roughly 33 of his 54 points were scored on...

    Truth, the third set was therefore crucial.

    LYJ just can't seem to get it right. Strange for someone with perhaps the best timing on his BH.

    I don't think they will use it for illegal services very often. With a few exceptions, they prefer to protect each other. Doing so would make them unpopular with the other players, and that is something they want to avoid. That’s not good for social media.
  11. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    I have never written anywhere that their services are always illegal. But if you can steal 3-4 points per set by doing this illegally and you know that the umpires will not react to it anyway, well... Still strange that Hugo or Tomo, for example, never throws his balls into his racket or rarely...
  12. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    Even two errors, namely a slanted throw of more than 25° that was clearly visible, and as was often the case with the brothers, the serve was delivered above the table instead of behind "the baseline". To be clear, not all services are illegal if the player is standing next to the table. There...

    The match point was yet another illegal serve by Felix. The umpire sat there and watched...🤷‍♂️
  14. Forums and freedom, and being capable of self criticism

    The fact that someone split my post into nine separate statements! gives me pause for thought. And yes, that does come across as aggressive, big little man. I agree that politics should not be discussed on a TT forum; there are political forums for that. But if that is the case, then please...
  15. Forums and freedom, and being capable of self criticism

    It's unbelievable that someone with thousands of contributions is banned without warning or consultation with other moderators, especially after a member had just been promoted to new moderator and after dozens of contributions from the removed member had suddenly been moved to the background or...
  16. Tony has been banned and won't return

    Can a moderator also be banned?...Why?🤷‍♂️
  17. FZD’s lower core strength

    Indeed, a fine example of these three gentlemen. It is clear who is blessed with impressive muscles and who is not. It always stuck with me during the 2012 World Championships in Rotterdam, impressive from ZJ. Thank you for the photo!
  18. FZD’s lower core strength

    However, his quadriceps don't seem to be that well developed to me. When I compare them to Zhang Jike's at the time, he still falls a little short.

    Um, I know perfectly well how it works. I just wanted to warn people that when they order from an American, Australian, African, or in this case Asian (Japanese) webshop, they should take into account that additional (import) costs will have to be paid. No more, no less than that.

    Mizuno has its own Greek website. I have no idea if they sell all the items here too, I haven't compared them yet. https://www.mzn.gr/en/ALL/ping-pong
