  1. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Thanks for posting. Since this is @Zezima 's thread, you can open your own. You could definitely squat much more on the backhand topspin and since I can't see the ball feed, I am not sure what you are working on. Your game looks good, but I suspect you have been playing for years (how many...
  2. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Guys, please ease on the comments if you are not all willing to post your own videos with your own loop out there. I know Zezima can handle himself and is open to commentary of all kinds but this behavior of cutting down someone while not sharing your own struggles is not ehat this webboard is...

    Everyone goes through cycles. The current ranking system mighr penalize you slightly more but it is easy to forgot when Dima and Bolll go through stuff. Even Lin Shidong is going through stuff now. FZD went through stuff in 2019 and 2020. Ma Long had tough year in 2018 and even part of 2019...

    How so? Those ladies played feeder level because of the current ittf/wtt system not their playing level. Joo used to be a Chinese national team member who defected to Korea. Shibata and Sato were Japanese national team members in the 2010s and have always hovered close to that level but just...

    Very funny. I am going tell this story to my children. Different from what? Still looks like a Xylo 7 to me....

    Lots of eye opening January results. The Top16 Cups are going to be interesting for sure. A month ago you would have bet on Felix and Truls. Probably still the right bet but not so sure anymore. For some reason Duda fans have gone silent. I hope he finds his form.
  7. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    It really funny how naive perception about athletes is so different from what actually happens when you understand or onow how they are interacting with each other. Fan: I want to buy Hugo's blade because he is so good with it. Hugo: I am not even sure Hugo's blade is the best i can do - Gauzy...

    He can't use his Xiom racket with new handles and then have Joola make clones?

    Xiang: Let's play table tennis. Gauzy: Let's play badminton! Xiang: I said table tennis.... Gauzy: Forget the table Let's play tennis! Xiang: I need to figure this out.. Gauzy: Just play tennis... it is fun... and good for me!

    I agree on Sato but I expected 3-0. Kuai Man still has a lot of work to be convincing vs chop at the highest level. She still relies a lot on counters and misdirection to win against attackers and against choppers, the deception is good, but they don't stay close enough to the table for what...

    Yeah, maybe Lin is juat doing what they do.
  12. WTT Star Contender Doha 2026 Jan 13-18

    Lind, Harimoto and Lin.... you need to follow my predictions!
  13. WTT Star Contender Doha 2026 Jan 13-18

    Harimoto (Batman): You killed my partner, Robin! you must pay... Xu Fei (jJoker): Everyone and the fish at the bottom of the sea know you don't kill, Batman.. See you around, and sorry about your partner... I will give him more companions when we meet again...

    He is too young to be using Kinesiotape. Something is still wrong IMHO.
  15. WTT Star Contender Doha 2026 Jan 13-18

    Yes. My perception was that the tempo control began when the opponent took a longer time to go long to start the point. So it wasn't so much he played badly in the short short but hus openings and counters out of it were less surprising to Huang.

    If you want to continue this, do so in private or at least on another thread. I have pointed out fairly often that the way I might read or mean or intend something can be very different from how you read it. What I was pointing out when I wrote what I wrote about Google Translate was that...

    Now you see what gamblers have to go through lolol...
  18. WTT Star Contender Doha 2026 Jan 13-18

    Yubin, Sato, Gauzy, Lind, Qihao, Harimoto, Lin, ZYL, Hugo. That was easy.... (watch me get it all wrong lol)

    Ah I get it now, its okay. You are not the only one who has issues with untranslated stuff and who had reported unttanslated stuff. And in fact, I am thinking I should just rigorously enforce it. Sorry that you felt I was referring to you in particular with my comment. I explained why I...

    The rules have been due to be updated for a while, and I am hopeful that the process will be closed out soon.. Those rules were written in the MySpace era or something like that and don't account for a lot of things that have changed. Usually, and I have said this when you reported a similar...
