  1. Felix Lebrun lost 14 direct points on serve when faced Wang Chuqin

    So what ? did he stop being dominant by changing his serves? nah Was FZD a cheater ? nah, was he way more dominant than WCQ is now ? heck yeah !!! That's all I'm saying, Of course WCQ and LSD cheat ON PURPOSE, and that's what is completely different from athletes who take bad routines since an...
  2. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    everyone told the flooring was poor: who's the basketball idiot in America that declares it should be wooden flooring everywhere + air conditioning at full blast so that the ball had curious moves ? Those are the reasons why the US should NOT EVER FOREVER HOST ANY MAJOR EVENT. They don't take...
  3. Damien Éloi: Are the top players’ rubbers different?

    Every french player was wearing + playing the brand he was endorsing no matter his age or career achievements during the last french nationals. Even Stéphane Ouaiche, who's not in the France's team anymore since before the pandemic is sponsored by Andro (Adam Bobrow knows it well...), and he's...
  4. Felix Lebrun lost 14 direct points on serve when faced Wang Chuqin

    Seriously guys... I'm coming from an era where the motto was "either way, deal with it", that's what Felix did, and he did well: he's done his best match ever vs WCQ ! 14 receives down yeah, his best match with 14 same serves he couldn't handle, but still he managed to win 1 point more overall...
  5. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    It's not engrained in the french culture to discuss if serve's are legal or not. First when you start at a low level (départemental until régional) teams don't have umpires and referees, it's both teams that do that, so the legal aspect of discussing serves could lead to a very bad atmosphere...
  6. Damien Éloi: Are the top players’ rubbers different?

    I'm not that surprised being a musician. There are tons of kids who want the same guitar as Joe Bonamassa or the same bass as Marcus Miller. But when you really get the knowledge, you then understand that Bonammassa has his trusty Les Paul completely tweaked by luthiers, technicians/electronics...
  7. Hugo Calderano denied entry into the USA! Will miss the USA Smash 2025

    Australia deeply regrets making a deal with the US for the submarines, now they try to get back to France like Canada does, anyways it's not China that will sell any subs to Australia: China actually hires ex-french navy fighter pilots to know how to build a valid naval air force...
  8. Hugo Calderano denied entry into the USA! Will miss the USA Smash 2025

    I know, but France is not different than any country on the planet for that matter. Now if you explain this to the club that hired your athlete, they'll ask the FFTT to start the league only in October. If it's one of the top 2 athletes in the squad, the FFTT knows it's better to get the best...

  10. Hugo Calderano denied entry into the USA! Will miss the USA Smash 2025

    Also you can regularly check the FFTT calendar here to see when it starts, but generaly speaking they never release the pro competitions' calendar before august every year. To me it won't start before Monday September 15th, between the Champions Macao and the China Smash, and the second round...

  12. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    My take on it: let TT die in America, not a big deal, as it is not taken seriously there. Between what they did to Hugo and now this sh.t with a an MLTT-like crowd, not a single american able to pass the first round (sorry, yeah Amy Wang did... vs Lilly Zhang... *cough*) with plenty of wild...

    What it takes for a nation to win a Grand Slam event in modern table tennis It all start with Mao decreting in the early 50’s that table tennis would be China’s national sport. This marked a disrupting move as TT was played by amateur/tennis players in major events. And as all those kind of...

  17. How does Timoboll spirit compare with Timoboll ALC & Viscaria

    Jianan Yuan came from a TBS to a Viscaria, she didn't find much change to the blade. In fact her old TBS was getting too much slower with age. The only "tech" is in the TB ALC handle, but that's pretty much all, what's common with all those guys Zhang Jike, FZD, Timo ? They all started with...
