I was mostly kidding. Hirano has an excuse with this format because even individual points matter as a tie-breaker. But 22 points in a row against an overmatched opponent with a thumb injury was very hard to watch lol

I'd be fine with a comeback to the orange ball for better visibility. I don't know why orange has died off when the ball changed. Whenever I encounter an orange ball I notice that it's so much easier to see and track. It's like glowing and radioactive in comparison to the white ball. I feel like...

The venue and overall presentation of this has been mostly pretty good visually with the camera work with the top and straight-on view rather than the awful side-to-side 'Pong' view. But the audio levels are just awful with commentary sounding like it's coming from an old timey radio.

Think we've always known this but that match against NZ's Lam confirms that Hirano is the most cold-blooded of the women JNT members.

No it's this new version coming out in Japan. SG sized handle, slightly different coloring, thinner wings. https://www.nittaku.com/products/rackets/post-170

Thanks for the input @NextLevel. You're right the shot also works as a counter against slow spinny topspin shots that my coach feeds me. I've been trying to figure out why I've developed this shot since it wasn't taught to me and I've never watched any videos showing the technique. My theory...

I'm in Tokyo now and have been to a few table tennis meetups here. I haven't seen anyone that is anywhere close to national team level, however. Most playeres are anywhere from absolute beginners to intermediate at most. But if he comes to a meetup and maybe one of the Japanese intermediate...

I came across this video today and the reviewer here has the Atletico Power Pro as his #2 top blade behind DHS Hurricane Hao 3. What was interesting to me was that he said that the Yasaka Resonate AI blade is "exactly the same" (his words) as the Atletico Power Pro except for design. This is...

Do you have a review of the Nittaku Acoustic inner somewhere out there in the past? I ask because I'm intersted in picking up the G-Revision here in Japan. I liked the build quality and the feel of my all wood Acoustic but the handle was just too small for me.

I think this depends on what time frame we're considering. ML is the GOAT because of his consistency and winning results. Achievements at the highest level are always going to be the biggest factor in determining greatness in sports. But that doesn't mean rational people can't look at the most...

This dude isn't a penholder but saw this video today and was reminded of your comment about LP player with FH loopkill ability.

Great camera work and editing for this one. TTD team is living the dream and they've found a way to step up their gameplay at the same time they are producing better and better content. Appreciate the YT channel and the forum. Great job guys!

@latej just posted a video in another thread that talks exactly about this If balls are going to your FH side you can turn your waist before making the adjustment step. If balls are going to your pivot side you need to make your step before or at the same time as the waist turn. In either...

How long did you use the B3 for? Ive heard it takes longer than usual for it to break in.

729 Bloom Power is pretty close. Maybe not the same speed but I get more spin and control with it. LAC definitely has easier power.

Any more info on that Yinhe blade @igorponger ? Looks like a Hinoki outer

If WTT wants to be these athlete's employers, then that's great. They'd have to pay a salary, take care of their health insurance, and also pay back their travel expenses like any other employer though. Given that they don't do any of those things, then they can fuck right off with making...

There's a whole thread about the tenaly from a few weeks ago worth reading. That angle might be closer to the optimal ergonomics for most people.

Here's a video of me using Rxton 3 Blue on the BH and the slap/punch shots it can do. I can do similar shots with Fastarc C-1 and Moon 12 Blue but they don't have nearly the same pop and speed. With the R3 Blue it just feels really easy to do as well. I enjoy doing this particular BH shot but...

For LP users out there, what would be a cheap way for me to create a racket to train against? I have a Yinhe U2 that's relatively stiff. Would that work as a base? What is some good value LP rubber that I should consider?
