I think we can all agree on how WTT has botched this whole series of Doha events at the very least. These camera issues started WEEKS AGO at the Men's Finals, and have been happening throughout the whole 3 events unfixed and unaddressed. Then you get to a final that TT fans are excited about...

Stop being such a hater. Jesus man, it's really getting old.

Looks like that might've been the case. Harimoto's FH looked amazing in that match against Togami. Was just blasting Togami and finishing a lot of points with it. Really great to see.

One thing I find a bit intriguing about Harimoto is that his whiff rate on FH counters is very high compared to people around his rank. I'm not talking about just missed shots that don't find the table, I'm talking about him having plenty of time to load up a FH counter and completely failing to...

Probably glue clumping. It'll go away if you reglue properly, removing all of the old glue beforehand.

3rd straight WTT event at this lifeless and problem-plagued venue? Surely the fans weren't the ones clamoring for this.

The biggest enemy to blades are edge accidents. So if you want to protect the blade from that, then you can apply a few layers of wipe on polyurethane on the blade edge. Then use the hard plasticky edge tape rather than the thin nylon ones. This will help spread the impact a little bit so that...

How does the draft system work in table tennis, and when was Harimoto picked #1? I understand you're talking in metaphors but I think you should probably explain why you're using that metaphor to us so we understand.

So are you saying that every pro in table tennis at the moment except for CNT players are failures like Zion Williamson? You're pretty harsh on these players I think.

Based on your 'calculated observation', who do you think is the best non-Chinese men's player at the moment? Are you basing this on potential or past achievements? How have they maximized their talent against CNT members in a way that Harimoto has failed to do?

Luck does work that way actually. With only 11 iterations, results like that are possible even if odds are close to 50/50. People have lost 11 straight hands of blackjack where odds are pretty much 50%. Of course, Hayata vs SYS isn't 50/50. I'd say it's closer to 80/20. But we're talking about...

Oh btw, there's a FAKE WTT channel and live stream here: https://www.youtube.com/@WTT-LIVE/featured Looks like they are trying to scam viewers saying that they will give away free crypto, but they will probably ask for your account info. Pretty obvious but don't get scammed!

This has been happening all event, but today the scrambled video was a big part of literally every single QF match. This is completely absurd. Not only did they do nothing to fix the issue, but it's gotten even worse. I expect the finals to look entirely like the scrambled "Spice" channel 30...

What are you talking about? It went to 11-9 in Game 5, and in that game SYS benefited from 2 net cord points. If those hit the net, Hayata is the winner. I know that result is what matters on paper, but you're acting like she had 0 chance when it's clear the match could've gone either way.

Parchment paper works perfect for me. Just make sure to leave a small sliver of exposed area at the bottom. That's where you want to align first. If you mess up well at least you only get clumping and bad contact at the base where it doesn't matter. When it's aligned right, then you lift the...

I have somewhat wide feet. So when researching Mizuno, the models that are specifically tailored for wide feet are the Wave Kaiserburg and Wave Medal series. But when trying on all the shoes at the Mizuno shop in Tokyo, I found that the Wave Drive 9 fit me best.

The production of this event is somehow well below even WTT standards. All sorts of problem with weird shadows or spotlights cast on the table, camera pixelation issues, someone's phone constantly vibrating near the microphone, and then random people walking around for no reason at all while...

Great match! Thanks for mentioning it. Lind makes matches very entertaining with all of the different shots he tries. For everyone who hasn't seen it yet, the cut replay is available (with no sound issues, thank god):

My glue layers (3 thin layers of DHS No 15) weigh only about 1g-2g on each side. I once tried the wet sponge technique and it made spreading the glue easier but caused a bizarre hollow feeling where I ended up regluing immediately after playing with it. I'm guessing the method works with thick...

The cameraman really needs to turn off vibrate on his phone. Minor annoyance having to hear it go off every few minutes during the stream this event. It's very unprofessional.
