Here is one link that alludes to my major point, you can draw the lines how you chose, but I have no reason to take you seriously if you think that you have a monopoly on how to think about this. https://www.tabletenniscoaching.com/node/2037 I think my point is clear, you are free to make...

I mean sure, if we want to call Barna the GOAT as well, sure.

So the rule about not having coaches is largely other countries mimicking China who installed the policy in order to reduce national team cohesion issues. It is not against the rules to have personal coaches when playing compatriots. If you have personal coaches that are not national coaches...

Your thrust is fair, and I have conceded most of it, but a few more points in Mizutani's defense. Impact is not just measured by "objective" results, but by overall influence. Arguably, the XD gold influences Mizutani's aura in Japanese commentary more than any other single result, though of...

First point - Mizutani faced the greatest generations in their prime. Despite that, he still has notable victories in important matches over lots of players (Xu Xin at Olympics 2016 in Teams, Dima in 2016 Teams). Like all players his competitiveness with the Chinese got better with thr...

Maybe the AI charged more for full match hjghlights lol.

Mizutani is likely the greatest Japanese male player in table tennis history and his achievements as a prodigy are not going to be matched by Togami anytime soon unless time travel becomes a possibility. The benefit for players like Togami is that they can show there is another route, which...

Other than match timing, it is actually a good draw. No one will lose any sleep if he loses that match. And getting an early feeling on how good he needs to play to deal with a player at that level is a good thing IMHO.

No point in responding, he linked to 3 points at which Chan Baldwin served into the net in a match he won. I know that sometimes the gods speak in mysterious ways but even that was too mysterious for me.

Yes he is! Hope he stays injury free this time...

Some amazing shots by Kao and Cifuentes... table tennis on fire!

Asian players who didn't get here with a lot of time to adjust to jet lag are all going to struggle.

I know this is a debate but none of this other than that she didn't qualify automatically is of any serious relevance. Based on the available information (and not the parts that you plugged in your opinions): 1) She fell short by 1 ranking point for automatic selection, though her average...

Chan Baldwin and Huang Youzheng are the same age (fine 6 months apart). But I guess the match wasn't about that lol.

Yeah, maybe I just can't control the true speed of the blade lol. I try for center of the sweet spot usually and I mamaged to make most of my contacts closer to there. But yesterday I just started experimenting with other contacts because I don't like my consistency with this new blade plus...

Interesting, while I have played in both places and known the difference, I have never made the mistake of attributing that to the tables. You are right that this is probably what he is experiencing.

Found these comments from Ricardo Walther about the table speed interesting. Any comments, @Matt Hetherington ? Are the retail tables going to undergo the same change lol? PS: the version I watched is auto-dubbed to English and he said that the tables now hold the ball much more and are much...

So I am back to my old blade with a new rubber (though i am still keeping the old rubber in reserve as well. One of the things I observed yesterday while training (and I am not sure whether this will hold up) is that my attempting to hit the ball within the sweetspot and tip of the blade...
