Thanks this is a reasonable perspective and what I was looking for. I also mostly heard more controversy about CM's connections getting her picked over Wang Manyu. So there were allegations of favoritism going the other way. Still, would you say at least that most people associated with the...

Yeah no good faith arguments just attacks. I don't think you've ever said anything useful or funny on here so I don't mind ignoring you either. Enjoy spreading your shit attitude over the internet.

Whatever happens I'm just hoping to see a Kaufman vs SYB matchup.

Cool more dodging of the actual arguments and poisoning the well. If you want us to believe these are the worst conspiracy theories and have no merit, demonstrate it. Still not seeing any takers on this.

You've made zero arguments against the points she raised. You've just made personal attacks against her, and now me. Try again to engage in good faith. If not then you just go on my ignore list.

It's okay you've made up your mind about it anyway and weren't going to watch. But thanks for letting me know

Interesting video that attempts to shed some light on maybe why the CNT looked so displeased by Chen Meng winning gold. I don't take it was 100% gospel. The channel is generally critical of China. But she does provide some details I didnt know about, like companies already having ad campaigns...

I used to be in the camp of thinking someone should wait for as long as possible before switching to carbon. Was planning to stick to all wood for at least a few years. But my coach suggested that I consider a switch to carbon after about a year and a half so I did. There wasn't a huge...

Fextra 7 is a tried and true bargain for under $20 blade. I preferred it to $100+ Japanese blades and my friend likes it more than his Yasaka Sweden Extra.

Giving new meaning to being a shake hand racket player

I know what you're doing. Going for the reverse jinx hoping to be wrong lol I'll join in. It's gonna be an easy 3-0 and I likely won't be tuning in.

Compared to the crowd we've gotten in Paris, every partisan Chinese crowd I've seen doesn't even come close in terms of energy and atmosphere. I've only watched some of their Super League and the WTT events in China though. Maybe I'm missing something?

Enjoy it guys. This might be the best crowd for table tennis we see for a few years at least. Great semifinals and great result for the popularity of table tennis in France. Even if our boy Harimoto had to be sacrificed for it. From what I was reading yesterday after their loss to Sweden, I...

Never thought my hometown of Fremont would get a shout out during the Olympics.

Ping pong gods decided to cut Harimoto a break giving him an edge and a missed serve by Gauzy to help him win that game. Gauzy played as good as I've seen him recently, but Harimoto fought to keep the dream alive.

"Never visit" I meant while still a beginner. You're right that when a person understands equipment a bit better, they can benefit from the written reviews by the experienced EJs. But reading the reviews there won't help you understand equipment imo. It's more likely to confuse.

Same. Don't think Shinozuka has the goods to give Felix a close match, but giving Harimoto a moral victory win here maybe will lessen the blow from an extremely disappointing Olympics.

Togami showing some superhuman reflexes in this match on multiple occasions. It's amazing how physically gifted this dude is. And I think that's one of his downfalls. He thinks he can get to every ball and hit it with full power. Probably true but he tries some crazy low percentage stuff...

There aren't many things that I'd favor Togami over WCQ in table tennis. But smashing lobs is clearly one where Togami wins clearly lol

First off, I highly recommend you never visit Revspin again. That site is either too confusing or outright useless for beginners. I wish I had just completely disregarded that site years ago when trying to find a first (and second, and third) racket. Before I make any purchases, I'd ask people...
