I think having China being a strong country in table tennis is important, players like ma long and xu xin where great ambassadors for the Sport. Having a Chinese winner isn't terrible for the sport but what is bad is having all Chinese semi finals like it regularly happened in the "golden era"...

I think lin shidong will probably reach the same level as wcq and fzd so the next years don't Look bad. China just has the best coaching that will continue to build excellent players. I did read somewhere though that table tennis has lost popularity among young Chinese compared to sports like...

Have you tried a fast long push like this Maybe if you can't flick or push short yet you can switch between long fast push and long slow push to keep him on his toes a little.

I think his close table speed is insane but to really win big titles he also needs to develop a bigger swing that allows him to score from 2-3 Meters behind the table too. Doesn't have to use the big swing all the time but at least sometimes change it up a little.

It might be possible but I think with the 40mm plastic ball the advantage of SP is kinda gone down somewhat. The advantage of SP like LGL used was that you can smash flat against massive topspin balls of the opponent because the pip would help to deal with the spin. However the new ball takes...

I have tried both. I really enjoy hitting forehands with my jpen blade but not being able to hit RPB (unless you are using one of those hybrid blades with jpen handle and cpen blade) is a big disadvantage. At lower levels it might not matter as hitting punch Blocks with the TPB might be enough...

In the drill you have a little more time because you know where the ball will go (usually). In a game you have to read the opponents Ball first before you can make your move. That means you have less time and you can get rushed. For example in a drill you might start your move to the other side...

If you want to enforce the hidden serve completely you would have to basically enforce BH serve. The rule would be no part of the body above the waist can be closer to the net than bat, hitting arm and ball at impact. ebay auto на русском I don't believe enforcing the rules on a pendulum...

This one?

I think an exceptional athlete like RSM could still reach top10 in the world today but not top3-4. However of course that player with that kind of footwork and forehand could easily become number 1 in the world with a decent BH topspin ( ma long essentially was RSM with a solid BH topspin) so...

Couldn't you just use more of a "backhand grip" some shakehand users use a slight grip change where they turn the hand more on top of the grip for backhand. Imo this grip would have a big disadvantage for forehand. Not sure about the penhold version. I play RPB penhold myself but not sure...

I think the early loss at the Olympics might have cost him some motivation. He was supposed to be the big favorite who has leapfrogged the supposed throne successor of ma long which is FZD and then he has this big blow in his face of losing early. Yes he lost to the eventual Silver medallist but...

It depends on how viable is defined. Top50 in the world is probably not reachable with one sided penhold (jpen or one sided cpen) anymore but then again top50 in the world is not reachable for 99.99% of all shakehand two winged attack players players either. If you just want to be a good...

I think Felix just needs to improve his forehand technique. He has a very compact stroke with an extremely bent arm. If he could go a bit more "chinese" with a more straight arm like xu xin and a bigger swing he could get more dangerous. Maybe not all the way straight like xu xin but at least a...

That is true, one doesn't become a democracy over night. In Germany we still have issues with this in east Germany which used to be a communist colony of the Soviet union, there is democracy in east Germany but many east Germans have not really accepted democracy which causes them to either...

Actually China is sponsoring a genocide in Russia and being a big danger for ww3 if they plan to invade Taiwan. Russia and china are probably the biggest threats for safety in the world. That being said of course bad stuff is going on in the west but everything that is bad in the west also...

Actually they are not. The raise of the nazi Party AFD (mostly in former communist east germany) is extremely concerning but so far -unlike most other European countries where they are in the government- they are not in a single government (local or national) because the other parties are...

It could be true that hayata is a right wing nationalist who is denying japanese war Crimes and if that is true it would be bad but I Don't think one needs to make that q political affair, especially not by a big crybaby country like china (talking about the government not the people which are...

Definitely an insanely good player. I would actually say his game is a bit outdated, he backhand is good of course but still his game is very forehand oriented. I would say he is an upgraded version of wang liqin while the modern game is more backhand and close to table oriented with a lot of...

In a vaccum I definitely think it is a zero sum game. When you want to hit a ball as hard as you can you would slap it flat. When it comes to hitting a ball on the table it obviously isn't a zero sum game, because you can't hit a zero spin ball with maximum speed or it will fly long. That...
