Lubo in the finals.... where has he been? I don't remember seeing him in Germany this year on Post SV...

I've spoken to two national level coaches about this and their opinion is very different from yours. It's hard to embarrass myself when I don't say things like that Sora Matsushima is struggling with his teammates just like Sun Yang is.

I think the Hirano that got beat down by Yokoi in their last encounter could not have beaten Nagasaki. That's what I pinned my hat on initially.

I could have said Yokoi and Jancarik but I think @pongfugrasshopper picked Yokoi and I think Cheng I Ching and Jancarik fit the lost and found theme better.

Odo gives a lecture on why there are no choppers on the JNT: Sato lost this match despite playing some amazing points.

I am open to losing, I just want a combo no one else has picked and people have started picking Hirano lol... so Cheng and Jancarik!

I should have taken Jancarik and Hirano then lol.

A lot of stuff is not quite right in this video from my perspective, starting with the nature of the feed and the unfocused nature of the exercises and the technical focus executing them, but since you believe you already have effective technique and that all you need to do is express it in...

Hirano and Poret. Just for fun.

We are focused on slightly different things even if we are trying to get to the same place. I am just pointing out that his swing is not consistently able to generate speed over short distances and he often follows through incorrectly because of that, it will not be confident when he plays...

If you want to end a topic, the simplest way is to not respond to it. Because this theme will come up over and over again given how you approach advice with arguments so it is not going to end anytime soon. I personally wouldn't recommend arguing too seriously with the goal of trying to...

Like I have said, good players agree with @ThePongCommenter, you can stick with the amateur fan psychologists.. I will go with the good players. You can think whatever you want. You can be right but it will not make you a better player. These are some of the kinds of arguments that I had...

He can play his club mates who use pips so he is fine, he is just intimidated by your description and overwhelmed by the volume of discussion - it makes him want to defend himself...

Miu Hirano decided to wait though... but at least, if she does well here, we may be reminded of her ability to handle pressure since she is a chosen one...

In league in Austria, it is a bit different (so not always able to get a new event to practice at the next week) and he doesn't play many tournaments. But life is life, he will figure it out eventually if he can and he really needs and wants to improve. I agree with the rest of your post. But...

The narrative is just a typical concoction. We are led to believe that Harimoto, Hirano and Hayata were not the best performing players in Japan which limited the Olympics qualifications to just internal matches for the very reason that world ranking was hard to make fair, and that it was a...

Well Miu 1 beat Miyu 2 and Miyuu 3 has already been eliminated. So I guess we will have to wait patiently for the Miyu(u)s to be given a fair chance to represent Japan since they have been discriminated against (as opposed to losing to people at a higher clip than the teammates that qualify...

Nothing is built in a day, it is clear you want to beat good players which is the most important thing, you compete and have a rating which will keep you honest (it shouldn't be the only focus, but it will give you something to work with over the years). Good players (@songdavid98 would be...

Forget about improving then, this is table tennis 101 and needs to be done in training and matches to get to a good level. You have to recognize the play faster to prepare faster and take advantage of the opponent faster. The alternative is to find ways to handcuff the opponent so that they are...

Saarbrucken won the first leg 3-0. So if there was aggregate in place (not sure what the specific aggregate rules were), the match might have been technically over after Truls won the first match and the rest were just for fun and pride. Gauzy and FZD did a slightly better job of masking the...
