No, the thicker player doesn't slap his forehand, he is big and strong so his spin is much heavier than yours, he doesn't need to put in special effort to get a quality ball. You need to understand what you are watching, even you have a higher quality ball than you realize you do, the problem...

The s backhand serves are mostly long. You will miss most of them initially when you attack them but you have to continue to attack them until you start making the attacks and force the opponent to serve short enough that you can push with quality . Adjusting to a ball is all about knowing...

You watched those matches and your conclusion was that you need to change your forehand rubber? Seriously?

If WCQ was right handed, Tomo would eat him for dinner. That is my view.

Okay. So what does all this mean? One of the things you do which I hope you are aware of is that you coach yourself in a way that is very different from how you would coach someone else. Would you write the stuff you are writing now to someone in your position looking for advice? How would...

The reason you don't get that ball as easily is that the other player is better than you. So you are not used to anticipating it and getting into position to hit it. But your game is already good enough, you just need to play more and train more with good players and get better at controlling...

Anyone who knows how to play against anti/non-topspin and can control heavy topspin, both of which the Japanese ladies excel at, is going to give Winter problems. I don't think it is a Japan problem, I think it is a "who are you going to beat to get the points you need at critical stages in a...

He keeps thinking this is the answer and that is his problem. Not the equipment. Not even his technique. He just needs to select shots and take more risks. He already plays the shots he claims he can't play.

Yeah, but to reach the finals at Montpellier, where none of the top 3 played if IIRC, who did she play? I think the best player she beat was Shin Yubin. So she would have to hope for more of such events where the top players don't play. The World Cup will definitely give us more info (in...

So the problem is how to rack up the points to get there. She will need to have more wins like those against Chen Xingtong (though the rumor is that Chen was injured and playing below par) and at the right stage of tournaments. But when I look at the players in the top 15, I don't see which...

Budget combines price and intention. Aura there is no intention and it isn't cheap enough to just buy to test. Harimoto SZLC I have played with quite a bit and I can re-sell if I don't like it. I also get Butterfly at discount.

The one player that I thought could have damaged Sabine's chances was Annett Kaufmann. Fortunately for Sabine (or maybe not, depending on form), Annett got to play with Han Ying instead and Han Ying took her out. Sabine to be fair took out a pretty dangerous and underrated Xiaona Shan. I do...

Omar beats Stephane Mehdi beats Quadri Finals: Goda vs Meshref for the umpteenth time Omar vs Mehdi (should be a good one as Mehdi beat Youssef and Quadri and took two games off Omar when they last played) BTW, with Mehdi and Stephane, Algeria has a strong team and should contend for some things.

Since all the other cups are over, let us move over the forgotten continent: results: https://results.ittf.com/ittf-web-results/html/TTE3485/results.html#/results/2026-02-09 Mehdi Bouloussa upset Yousef AbdelAziz 4-2 yesterday. Stephane Ouiaiche (formerly of France and 2-time French Singles...

Never heard anyone tell me that Tenergy has to be changed every month or two. The durability of 05 Hard is tough, because the hard sponge makes grip paramount since you can't get easy spin without a really good topsheet but this is not the case for the softer Tenergies, I know many people who...

Dignics 09c is more expensive. Why do you use it? Tenergy uses spring sponge and is usually more durable than ESN. Some peolle prefer the Tenergy speed focus over the Dignics power focus. Tenergy 19 is like Tenergy 05 some people just like how it suits there game and no, there is nothing...

Hugo by and large only has one serve as well. Most of Bernie's serves were tomahawk into the forehand alt the variations didnt do much. My main point is that it is easy to read from the result to limitations of the player but I suspect even if Lutz had a different serve, the result would...

A player who has beaten Yang Xiaoxin and Han Ying and Xioana Shan is not complaining just about material. She also has issues with playing Sabine in general.

You are not seeing the big picture IMHO. Wang can do these things when he is rested and healthy. He had a relatively easy event, getting pushed by only his teammate.ZQH. Sora still has to get past TTR.
