Yes. This had what I needed, thanks. https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2026_WC_Qual_Pathway.pdf

I don't think he is coming back or that they need him, I was just trying to understand why China got 6 women but 5 men.

Tell that to FZD, LSD, or NDH ;) .

Based on Fan in German League: On Tibhar tables, it is good for forehand and backhand. On Donic tables, it is good for backhand.

These are all level relarive things, people who have not seen the premium with which speed is placed as the level gets higher don't understand everything is relative and that while you might be able to get away with a slower rubber at a certain level, the fact that the ball keeps coming back and...

For me it is mostly new vs old. Unclean tables are not that common and can be fixed. But old tables that are well worn have lost grip and sometimes play like glass.

On the men's team, I guess if Fan Zhendong wanted to play, they could have one more? Or the blocker is the fact that WJTTC was not won by Ruibo Wen or Li Hechen? On the women's team, it's interesting that Wang Yidi is selected by World Ranking, whereby if they used a standard similar to the...

They just play on them more often as part of their club training. The same point Felix made. Your strokes adapt to the table you train the most on. It also applies to ball, room size etc. But table is given as one example because of the difference in friction coefficients.

Not really, Mima has a lot of points to defend from WTtC and World Cup so unless someone else gets a lot of points or Mima defends those points well, Sabine will.be #10 sometime before June as all her significant points are more recent and she can gain from World Cup and will lose nothing for...

Anders Lind has made similar comments in a a TTD interview wnd was more specific about the brands. Tibhar is the brand that was notorious for not gripping the ball and letting the ball through. It's one of the reasons Alexis and Darko perform well at the Top 16 Cup as their clubs use Tibhar tables.

On the impact of tables on players:

Since you are fit. a lot of the backhand work comes from pronation/supination and you can always raise and lower your chest/elbow. Oh, there is always something missing. Because a stroke is a mental model. And when you play a better player, something they do may intrigue you enough to make...

So I detoured for a while into the land of EJ and concluded I should just use the setup in my profile and try to get better with it once I get coaching again. Now I am back to playing somewhat. I seem to have lost something on my balls and not sure what is driving the lost quality as I am...

That's entirely fine, my job (as with other moderators) is largely to take decisions on reported posts and facilitate webboard participation. I don't see any reported posts and I think the participation of forum members here has been reasonable in the absence of reported posts for the moderator...

Not sure what you consider a conflict of interest, can you elaborate please? Please be clear and don't hide behind links that others may not read, say what the conflict of interest is.

I humbly concede the error of my predictions on this one.

Now this is the problem - when is it a good idea to predict that someone who has never beaten his opponent before finally will lol? Well there are still lots of games left before that becomes even possible.

Because they knew you needed a ball to blame for Sabine's performance and made it happen?
