You mean someone who had beaten Wang at Asian Teams in October and was up 3-1, 9-5 at WTT Finals Hong Kong and who has also lost deuce in the 5th to Wang is unlikely to beat Wang? Then who is likely? In fact, he is probably the only one who one can pick to beat Wang with reasonable...

Sora the Master... good job!

People be taking way too early timeouts bs Wang. Good luck to Sora.

Will Harimoto get a game off Ruibo Wen if Xue Fei coaches Wen? Imagination run wild...

Ruibo Wen living the dream...

Heavy spin is also allows for heavy speed, so it isn't a noob thing, it is a physics thing. Kanak is probably right but I would rather leave such things in the hands of Spinsight. Dima said something similar about Ma Long, but I also have a friend (high level coach) who says when you are in...

I edited your post to remove the insult directed to Shin Yubin. Since you dont respond to my PMs, I have at least made it clear that such player insults are not acceptsble.here.

G1 is a top level rubber by design, just slower because it is outdated technology. Since you play at a level where speed is not an extreme premium, you can get away with it. Rozena and Glayzer, while they are good rubbers, lack something at the top end in speed/spin that their analogs in...

LLMs are not good for your mental health. Just saying.

It can be that straightforward yes, but table tennis is not a straightforward sport. Again, I go back to the question of how you want to develop a beginner. One of the things it is easy to forget is that most beginners who start as kids develop technique that they grow with, but when you try...

There are growing pains adjusting to just about any rubber especially after having used a specific one for a long time. All it takes is for people to play at a speed where your defense or off the table feels rushed with H3 and then suddenly, the tradeoffs come back into consideration. One of...

We agree on the price. The throw and the catapult, not so much. But that is why we have these discussions.

A developing kid wouldn't be playing against the quality of Timo Boll's opponents. Groth changed to Primorac Carbon + 2*D09c and Boll followed him for a bit - was it because they both lacked power? Dima couldn't use Hurricane 3 when he tested it for the brief period he was coached by Persson...

You must have missed the Tieba memo on how much of an underperformer he is.

That will be something to behold...

Someone will answer better, but it usually comes down to sponsorship and performance. You have to count the players who he out performs and if it isn't almost everyone on the national team, you have to count how much money he has to travel and play in tournaments.

Pretty much - I really should replace someone with Liang Jingkun, I knew I was forgetting someone lol...

A list heavily biased towards recent times, will do women another time - 10 is a really small number but other than one notable exception, backhand play is a strong theme here: 1. Fan Zhendong 2. Jeoung Youngsik 3. Oh Sangeun 4. Vladimir Samsonov 5. Tomokazu Harimoto 6. Ma Long 7. Zhang...

You make it sound like beating Zhu Yuling and Wang Yidi is something other people from Europe are doing and that losing to Japanese ladies is something other people from Europe never do and this is why she should not play at the Olympics. LYZ and Doo Hoi Kem are pretty strong players. Sally...

Gozo, Butterfly marketing is supposed to convince you that if you buy Z03, the rubber will last forever. That will leave you enough time and income to buy other things since you will only need one sheet of Z03 for the rest of your life. You seem unconvinced. Why?
