  1. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Amazing performance by Kuai Man there. WMY wasn't really playing poorly. She just couldn't get any easy points due to KM's excellent receive game. On a side note, KM was a 3-1 underdog going into that match, which made my eyes bug out.
  2. How much do ping pong coaches charge per hour, where you live?

    It's about $8 to $10 here in Saigon for basic coaching and ball feeding.
  3. Rosewood top ply

    It used to be available on AliExpress when I made the comment. Guess it's not so popular. Still selling to suppliers on Alibaba here: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Loki-New-Arrival-Ittf-Approved-Professional_1600143323796.html where you can request a sample for $74. But I see it's...
  4. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Here's a fun point from her latest doubles match where she quick twiddles to the anti on receive. Looked very pleased with herself too lol https://www.youtube.com/clip/Ugkxoaa9_d2UDWgVIUsplLkCuW_QHzPjQbAO
  5. HOT DAMN !!! This coach teaches FH Slow/Heavy loop exactly every key point Der_Echte values !!!

    He's UNBELIEVABLE! I think his celebrations are pretty hilarious. Instead of acting intimating, get your opponent off his game by just being ridiculous lol
  6. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Looks like his short game and placement while holding the table were better than Harimoto and he forced out a ton of mistakes that snowballed. Harimoto was doing better taking just a couple steps away from the table and giving himself time and room to make his shots. Might be the style...

    Jin is a lucky guy if said Lebanese girl is a good cook. Lebanese food is amazing. Good luck to you two on your channel. Somehow your videos ended up on my feed so you guys are doing something right when it comes to getting on the YT algorithm. As other forum members noted, you guys can find...
  8. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Going back to Zen Nihon Semi-Finals to now, Hayata is now 14-0 in her last 14 games, with 3 of the 4 opponents being Odo, Miwa, and Mittelham. Has she shown this sort of consistency before in the past? Just over a month ago, she was looking a bit compromised and in mediocre form, which makes...
  9. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    100%. I had to go back and find what game I saw her get her mentality back after a rough game, and it was against He Zhuojia at Champions Frankfurt. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/wtt-champions-frankfurt-2024.35630/post-490643 In that match, she was actually down 2 horrible...
  10. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Hana Goda continues to play puzzling table tennis. After getting trounced 11-1 in the first game, she goes on to win the next game. Second time in a few months I've seen this happen. Then loses 11-1 again in 3rd game, and comes back to fight a hard 4th game losing 10-12. Don't think I've...
  11. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Big win for her, but she was favored nearly 60/40 in the betting odds. So maybe not a big surprise. Aside from the final game, looked like it could've gone either way depending on a point or two.
  12. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    You sure they've been wearing Lining? I made a mental note a while back that some Chinese players wearing Speedart shoes. Or at least they were wearing BOA style laced shoes, and I don't think Lining has any of that style.
  13. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    That was just really bizarre. Unless there was some sort of injury (and nothing indicates that to be the case) that might be one of the biggest performance gaps in a single day I've seen since I started watching TT. If there really were no outside variables, then that sort of wild...
  14. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Lily ran right over her last opponent too in wide 3-0 games. Wonder if she's the leader in points differential now after 2 rounds. I guess Ser has an excuse being young and inexperienced. But Lee played just godawful.
  15. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Boosters make the sponge softer by expanding the sponge. But before they've evaporated, the pores in the sponge are filled with the booster fluid. A damp sponge is going to be more dead than one with air in the pores. Playing for a few hours with it might move around the liquid enough where the...
  16. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    SYB and JJH smiling and playing exhibition points in the final game of their match. I thought it was a pretty crappy draw for them to meet in the first round, but I guess it ended up being a really sweet moment between the two to send off JJH off into international retirement.

    Auntie Ni came so close to beating QTY! 11-8 in the decider
  18. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    This is pretty common in almost all individual sports. The further you get past top 3-5, the more murky it gets where it becomes a fool's errand to argue over one or two spots difference. Those on the bottom end of top 10 have either shown clear deficiencies compared to those higher ranked. Or...
  19. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Can say that again. Just beat Darko :oops:
  20. When the Cat's away the mice will play.

    Is it an abuse by non-Chinese rubber companies to release rubbers in 3 or 4 different sponge thicknesses?
