  2. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    No definitely not! It will be another 100 years before there will be a second J-M Saive, if ever. There is nothing in the pipeline in Belgium. Tom Closset is now 19, was a young promise but his chances are lost I'm afraid. If there is anything of promise in Belgium it would possibly be Aiden...
  3. Do you practice pushing?

    Pushing, a forgotten exercise! The basis of everything!
  4. Ranking system levels in different countries

    In Belgium, they use the ELO system for all league players. So last season, there were almost 12,000 league players. The highest placed player was Q. Robinot with 2990 ELO points. Belgium_ELO ranking ELO_System

    WCQ's serve must somehow be harder for Tomo because I don't see any other player pushing back his serve so many times. But... it usually pays off for Tomo. I don't know off the top of my head how many times he has scored points with his forehand flip on service from WCQ but it must have been...

    Twice in seven years! Let me be clear, indeed no one did that for him yet I think. As a non-Chinese, he and Calderano are the only two who can achieve something against WCQ. So all credit to these two gentlemen. Let's assume that the lost matches at the end of last year against Lind & Kallberg...

    I saw two different WCQs today. The one against Truls was outstanding. Here he was 100%. Truls clearly cannot play against the left-handed WCQ. Against Tomo, he played maybe at 97% of his ability and that was not enough. It may be clear that against WCQ, Tomo did find a better system of play...

    That's right, he was still in Crete on Monday and left on Tuesday.

    That's unfortunate, but Simon just came from holiday a few days ago.

  14. Andro TP_Ligna series

    Yes indeed, new one. Last week, it was not yet on their site. Thank you for sharing. I exchanged my CI for an all wood a few months ago and VERY happy with it!
  15. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    I witnessed the rise of the Saive brothers quite closely. They both started at a very young age and had the talent of both their parents at an early age. Philippe, the youngest was more talented than his his brother Jean-Michel. Problem with Philippe was that he always found table tennis to be a...

  17. Damien Éloi: Are the top players’ rubbers different?

    Possible! And a few weeks later, they will start production of a new line with harder rubbers from a few degrees more.
  18. Felix Lebrun lost 14 direct points on serve when faced Wang Chuqin

    His body is definitely not in front of the baseline but beyond the baseline and next to the table.
