  1. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Yes they definitely do. I also think we should separate the issues as the foot stamping is worse imo. It's Interrupting and disrupting play and should be treated with contempt. Celebrations are not as mad as mid point distraction and for me should be curbed without changing the results of the...
  2. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    So upsidedown: Proposes rules: Cho is fine. Limit point celebration to two words. Limit number of Cho to 4 per set ideally. 3 allowable plus when you win a set of course. Limit volume to a defined level, make a reasonable level for middle of game and allow loudee at the end of a set or game. I...
  3. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Definitely but you didn't really call anyone out or mentioned anyone's name. just complain that people in this thread are not professional tt players in a semi derranged rant with poor formatting? Just feel maybe a autobiography would suit your needs more
  4. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Zeio if you think you should only comment on things you've done personally and not discussion can I recommend memoirs or a blog rather than a forum. And yes choing is on the rise and should be curved a bit. It is a stupid way of degrading the skills required into screaming. It's just harimoto...
  5. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    What should be done? Nothing major at first maybe some warnings after the game as he doesn't dima moan during the point so it would be unfair to do anything about fairly won points. I suspect maybe they should withhold earnings if he gets more than x warnings at first. This shouldn't affect him...
  6. 16 year old Fan Zhengdong vs 16 year old Harimoto, who's better

    Langel. These are not objective. You're missing about 40-50 wins against Chinese for FZD. He plays in the super League at this age. See this is the issue TH has more exposure to WT but his Chinese wins are miles behind
  7. 16 year old Fan Zhengdong vs 16 year old Harimoto, who's better

    To be honest it's almost moot. They both won world titles, Hari of course more and at a younger age but this is about 16 v 16 not career by 16. Rewatch the matches of FZD in '13 it was less clinical and seems more nervous than harimoto but without the obvious forehand weakness. On the negative...
  8. 16 year old Fan Zhengdong vs 16 year old Harimoto, who's better

    It's difficult to say at all. Both put out good loosing efforts against the best (fzd with a loss to ML and ZJK but a win over a unmotivated ZJK) and dominating Dimitri, matsudira and samsonov. I would prefer to have FZD for my national team because he was more dominant in most of his wins. But...
  9. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Zhu don't worry they're not at you directly. And actually I don't mind people bieng a bit disrespectful in interview etc, as you say it's fun. Mayweather was tuned into because he was hated. As another said it's a good storyline. It's more the lack of respect for the sport and making the most...
  10. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Talking of Ali bieng brought up repeatedly it would be great to be exactly like that. Boxing banned talking and the like in the ring ages ago because of him. But equally look at boxing forums and AJ is ridiculed for bieng humble and talking politely. McEnroe is famous for his bad attitude and...
  11. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    I dont disagree he is a fantastic player and athlete, why everyone who hates his disdain for the etiquette means I hate him is silly. I even mentioned he was fantastic al la Sharipova (was number 2 for the longest time). But I agree with takkyu he isnt wrong about his statement. We just...
  12. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    It's just like Maria Sharipova all over again. An amazing talent almost overshadowed by their lack of respect for both the sport and it's watchers. Can't wait until one of the players hopefully just starts coughing and waving the air at his opponent because that's not against the rules...
  13. Blade to start in penholder?

    get a ma lin extra offensive, slow enough to start with and fast enough for anyone, only reason to change is if you're bored. cheap and litrally perfect for penhold. My advice: Make sure you have a massive forhand loops and serve. Always play with the mindset of how you will work your opponant...
  14. Olympian Coach Giving me Multiball

    Because most people play for fun in small halls with little access to equipment. My club doesn't have enough balls for multiball, nor the space without balls flying all over each others court. And often can only play once or twice a week for a few hours. And feeding isn't very fun hundreds of...
  15. Wildish errors by players -- so vexing, so abundant.

    Two colour balls. BAN all non wood only blades, sorry my beautiful inner ALC ... And remove the larc and approve: pips all non tenor types, mark v, sriver (not g series), hurricane 3, skyline 3, neottec hiromi, donic JP-03(others too fast) and other old gen rubbers. Much more fun would be had...
  16. When you finally beat the player you never beat!!

    Yep as with all of them. Rolled onto the bat a couple then onto hand. Very brief pause followed by serve motion. Ball is clearly at rest. Mog serves very cleanly. There is no rule.forbidding movement for 5 or 10 minimum seconds before serve motion just that the ball is at rest. There is an 80+%...
  17. When you finally beat the player you never beat!!

    As much as I love watching a good old mog rant after somone catches bad logic that ain't it chief. His first six serves are all resting on his palm albiet for a second or two before he starts the serve motion as well as extremely visible. Unless the returned isn't ready due to the bouncing...
  18. 2020 China National Championship

    So sad, looking at FZD power and consistancy in 2018. I wonder what happened.
  19. Inner Carbon Blades

    I've had: inner ZLC (donic waldner champ), Outer ALC (V14pro, TBS), Inner alc (FB2, Innerforce Layer ALC). Inner carbon is great, the ZLC with spruce was a bit much but i think thats spruce and ZLC for you! The feel is different, ALC vibrations feel soft, outer Vs inner its like the volume but...
