  1. Why it is hard for umpires to call hidden serves

    I also played with some retired national team players from various countries. And their serves are as illegal or worse than most amateurs.
  2. Why it is hard for umpires to call hidden serves

    For most amateurs that I have against, most illegal serves are hiding/blocking the ball with the free hand after serves. And I think some are actually not aware of that.
  3. ITTF/WTT problems reported from players

    You probably should not have used FZD as an example. CNT deal everything differently from all other teams.
  4. Long V vs. Harimoto Alc

    Harimoto alc has more outer carbon feel, easier to play on backhand, less forehand power. If you use Hurricane 3, HL5 might be a better option. If tenergy or ESN, Harimoto alc might be better.
  5. Saudi Smash 2024

    Will wtt learn from ittf?
  6. Saudi Smash 2024

    Less than 10 days to go, expect some players to withdraw, like ML? Timo Boll will play and Kanak Jha still has no chance.
  7. World Cup 2024

    Both FZD and WCQ lost to teammates. I don't think CNT cares about who wins the gold as long as China wins it.
  8. World Cup 2024

    Better to bet against him when he is 3:0 ahead. If one counts his international matches, he probably lost as much as he won when he was 3:0 or 3:1 ahead in a bo7 match.
  9. World Cup 2024

    Only if Xiao Zhan becomes WMY's coach again. From the match between WMY and Miwa, I feel WMY's game was still missing something. I did not see much weakness from SYS's.
  10. World Cup 2024

    This turned out to be a great world cup. Better with more drama than previous ones. Things to improve: better group stage rules, other commentators...
  11. World Cup 2024

    return with more spin less speed will likely get a kill from Ml
  12. World Cup 2024

    LGY returned the reverse pendulum very well
  13. World Cup 2024

    The cup is walking away from ML
  14. World Cup 2024

    he had those yesterday
  15. World Cup 2024

    Who would have expected the final be between Ml and LGY? Who is your pick to Win? Both want the win badly.
  16. World Cup 2024

    Seriously, just played out in ML's favor today? I can see how much effort ML has made to win this match. And from the past, WCQ could not even beat Harimoto in rallies. WCQ's weapon is his serve and backhand flip, not rally. And ML prepared very well against those two today.
  17. World Cup 2024

    That was indeed a ridiculous call. The reason by the umpire was not enough high toss, but I went back and saw that the height was definitely high enough. And ML was serving with his back again that umpire. The umpire just could not see the toss well at all. ML lost one or two points after that call.
  18. World Cup 2024

    This is probably the last chance for LGY to get a single world title. But ML seemed to find a good way to play against left handed player and was as strong. If LGY can use those wide forehand more than ML returning those wide forehand, he will probably win. ALso LGY seems to be mentally tougher now.
  19. World Cup 2024

    Like LGY's fluent style
  20. World Cup 2024

    It was not an easy win for WMY.
