The focus now shifts from the favorites to the underdogs.

Yes, you seem to miss the point deliberately, confusing whether a place has stronger players with whether the ratinf refers to the same playing strength. Do you think an 18 year old in China is the same age as an 18 year old in the USA? Or a 6ft man on China is the same height as 6 ft 1 man in...

Yeah, some people think that but most semin-serious and better players in my experience know that the slipperiness of the pips doesn't stop the ball from spinning so it just continues rotating but the fact it rebounds off the pips and blade means it just comes back towards you. But what this...

Sounds like we are entering a terminology battle. This doesn't help anyone. As long as you both know what each other mean, arguing over what means what can be very unfruitful.

Anyone know what is really going on with Xiang Peng? Losing level so abruptly is somewhat unnatural.

Apologies to OP for high jacking is thread but training with higher rated players makes you better at some things and worse at others, especially if you are young. To build a complete game, many things come into play. But if a player is 2000 and through training is ready for the next level, we...

Many people say this, but as someone who traveled around to play TT for a while, this was not my experience, and I have seen at least one loud mouth get a reality check when he thoughthe could just leave Cali, beat up on playera and break a new rating high. The reality I saw was that other than...

One of my favorite events every year and I don't speak French lol...

You're welcome. You are clearly a strong player. Just pointing out how hard it is to tell exactly how strong you are. We could all be way too low because we aren't seeing you against the right level of opposition or vice versa.

Ankur is a really strong player, Fang Bo should have won, but Ankur is by far the best prospect on the Indian national team and is not averse to taking risks on both forehand and backhand. Of course, at that level, struggling with a hidden serve usually means that the serve is of high quality...

He is showing highlights: that said, the middle of my range shows my estimate would be the same as yours if forced to be precise. However, everyone can hit amazing shots in highlights even me on my good days and if he played a spinny 2100 from Atlanta and lost 0-3, that would change everything...

Thanks for the kind praise.

There usually isn't much benefit in posting videos like this to improve form once you already have gotten or are in an environment where you get coaching. The truth is that there is no single correct way to do any of these strokes, and that even when something is "wrong". the implications for...

When you play against Gionis often vs when you don't lol... Huang should try the Polish league lol... BTW isn't it funny how Poland and Singapore have similar looking flags...

He is playing well. Ankur is a rising junior with a tremendous backhand - it isn't always about the ranking. That said, Fang Bo should win...

Usually, you need a full video or full highlights of a competitive match to get started asking this question. Then moat of us get a better feel when we see you play a player whose level we know. While different countries have different systems, many players have played in otber countries so if...

Part of it is that I used a heavy rubber (for Butterfly at least). But it also feeds the speed.

Never used the Falcima. Ayous I believe is heavier than Kiri so this might be more head heavy.

Very different.
