True NL but its fun as long as the people arguing are aware that is just not a serious debate and don't try to impose their opinions on others ... at the end of they this whole is thing is "IMO" and everyone has a an ... :D ... But it stops being fun when you see otherwise perfectly rational...

People argue about GOAT because media has figured out that its the juciest topic to argue about without any definite conclusion so you can make ask many threads as you want or as many sports discussions as you want but there will never be an resolution .... and the debate will continue ... which...

For somebody who says they want to understand other peoples point of view ... I can tell you you are not doing a good job ... try to read my post again , read lula's post above and see it makes sense to you ... anyways I don't want to argue with you...

When its all about you , your understanding and the sport and who seems the most pleasing to "your" eye .. rest assured there are chances that "you" could be wrong !!! .. GOAT by definitions is somebody body who is transcends time not who seems pleasing to "your" eye ... there could be somebody...

Yes and most likely 20 years from now it will yield a different result ... nobody is contending the fact that Ma Long is the greatest of his time and he himself said that right now I am the best ... I don't know why you guys seem to think that as fans you are not doing your duties unless you...

Please consider this a formal request to derail this thread , thats the only way to stop this obsession with finding the goat !!!

I play with an 86 gm FL viscaria and it feels fine to me ... + 1 to everything that Carl said. but the question that you are asking as to how much effect the FL to ST change has is a difficult one to answer and only the blade manufactures will be able to tell , if they have tried to make two...

Okay on this point , find me a true democracy, first of all Trump won because of gerrymandering and electoral college ... second there is no true democracy as long as the stakes are high enough ... every vote is influenced by external factors ...the literal meaning of the word democracy is...

Table tennis is mostly played in the head at that level , so a head that belongs in top 10 in any era has a high likelihood of belonging in top 10 in another era :P ... case in point Timo , Vladi etc ... variations, unpredictability , clear strategic play .. these are more important than whether...

You can try taking some time off ... like a week or so to get it out of your head ... it has worked for me in the past when its the mind .. basically give your body some rest and tell your self that you have zero expectation since you did not play for a week or two ... you are rusty .. it will...

Do cool down stretches Jeff/ roll around on the foam roller and you will be ready to play the next day ... btw your forehand was looking good !!

Thank you .. just to reiterate what NextLevel means , I would also recommend anybody who wants to get into the EJ-ing business to read, comprehend and remember this. Stefan did a real good job of explaining the basics of rubber/ply etc.

Yes thats what my internet research yielded as well ... :) ... I was hoping to see the Klay Thomson matchup though !

I have always felt that Roger Federer plays tennis like table tennis , because spin and spin variation is such a big part of what he does on the court. So I was lurking around the internet to see if I could dig out some videos of him playing ... I could find one after Laureus award with Benedict...

Just keep your head down and keep working with the coach ... really excited for you !

What about color blindness ... has ITTF thought through that .. or we need to remind them ?

Well in this case the society is being represented by ITTF leadership , so no hope ... lets just accept that this can happen and instead celebrate Mima Ito and Hina Hayata as the true winners , they could have easily stopped playing in protest but they did not ... I really hope that CNT takes...

@RidTheKid : You are absolutely right in calling this out. From a theoretical point I am with you, the best should win, period and I am the a big fan of CNT players as long as they play and win fairly and show good sportsmanship on the court. But you have to acknowledge from a pragmatic...

We we can keep arguing but I don't think you can say from the video that the assistant umpire pointed at let , a finger was pointed and from it was pointing I could as easily argue he/she was asking whether it was a edge or not ... only the people involved can say for sure what the assistant...

We can argue about whether its racist or not , but if I was in Ito's position I would take offense too... due to the nature of the job and where I come from ( mind you not just country but the state ) , and the immaturity of some of the people I work with , I frequently end up in situations...
