Oh I know those shots. When you can teach me how to produce them, let me know and I will try the rubber again. Thanks.

Did he get divorced? Just noticed that his name in the ITTF rankings is Mattias Karlsson... then I realized he played Otocec as Karlsson....

Lam played well. Kanak is doing better vs Euro players but maybe losing something vs the Asians?

You will almost never hit a ball that the opponent can't block. Trust me I have tried.

Not a good look. But i suspect between seeding and rating points, there was no risk in playing as I do not think he is the top player on his group and this event is tough regardless.

I think it is best of 5 this time. I expect some backlog if a match is tight, I wonder if they have a plan to work around that.

Yes.

I don't remember anyone who loop kills the loose ball on the women's side quite like she does. Gives me chills sometimes. It is like you hear the ball, the bat and the table suffer from the power of the stroke...

Spin potential sure, speed potential, depends on what you are measuring. And on average, D80 probably has a slight advantage for spin for many players because it is easier to spin with except for the powerful 10% of tournament players.

I don't know about having a lower throw angle than 09c, maybe for your technique. It's less controversial but this is also an inferior rubber to Dignics 09c in terms of speed and for the Extra Hard version, weight. Durability is good but also debatable, 09c plays better when stickiness is lost...

I don't know about that, I haven't really enjoyed this tabletennis.tv move...

Placement and spin is more important than pure power if you know they can block your most powerful shots. Avoid playing shots that take you off balance and pick your kill shots carefully.

Of course he is right. Especially when considering the blade as something you might want to use over time and not just first impressions.

He is probably going to bring his daughter to MLTT as well lol...

When World Champions sound like USATT 2000 EJs, something is going on...

For people who find Tenergy 05 too jumpy there is always Tenergy 19. Easy to spin with, juat not as easy to get amazing shots with. In the emd though, I usually find that Tyce is discussing a game that has changed so much in nostalgic terms. There really is no answer loss of old school spin...

How many players do you admire who are not Chinese have a "Chinese forehand loop"? How many players who you admire do not have a Chinese forehand loop? The valley of mimicry of form has consumed many good players, it is more important to be able to execute required functions with a stroke...

Technique is a very delicate thing, there are big wrong things and there are small wrong things. Being unhappy with your technique doesn't say much other than that you are not happy with it, but when someone brings technique with small wrong things to the forum, I think Takkyu"s reaction is...

The stroke looks fine. Improving such things usually comes down to who you have to beat and what tradeoffs you have to make between physical effort, efficiency, pracrice, timing etc. Could you bloop better? Sure. So can Ma Long. What makes Ma Long Ma Long is less technical than it is about...

This best Ma Long blade - if we compare it to a Fan Zhendong ALC, what does it cost?
