Timo Boll was pf the opinion D09c was suitable for beginners. You can find him saying this online in his video review on his YouTube channel. Whether this was Butterfly promotion or Timo'a technical review is open to cynical speculation but if we take Timo'a integrity, he clearly was okay with...

A player who once beat Dima despite being much lower rated told me that he always believed he could beat anyone at anytime because no one other than God knows what will happen. You are right on the ultimate result, but thinking that way is not what will keep Sun Yingsha alert, people lose leads...

He yielded pretty badly at the XTWC to Felix; hoping we see a better match here. Hate to be an EJ sounding guy but I think LYJ has guile but his skillset lacks gears and variation. If he isn't attacking, he doesn't have a plan B.

So how do you know it is smaller than factory tolerance? What are your sources? You may very well be right, just want to know whether this is skepticism grounded in some expert experience with rubber or materials manufacturing or just your intelligent insight at work...

Better ways to express oneself please, keep it civil and focused on the matter at hand. If your opinion is that there is no material difference, especially if it is based on some experience with the subject matter, please feel free to add, small differences (2.4%) can add up to big things in...

Interesting take. Allow me to propose a different story, along the lines of what Bobrow pointed out but didn't quite get to the bottom of. And you can find my opinion on what backward tosses do to serve quality within it. Miyu Nagasaki has a very illegal backwards toss on a variety of serve...

I can imagine that being in Saarbrucken means lots of good TT. What features of his area are you thinking of in terms of gaining points?

How many people watch this channel? Adult amateur in a great training environment (Saarbrucken) trying to get as good as he can playing the contemporary offensive game. https://www.youtube.com/@limittless. Latest video:

The World Cup will be going on in the US at that time, so it will be interesting. Hope it all works out.

TTR:

Sometimes, you wonder whether it is worth even trying when you lose like that...

That was a surprise...but predicted by seeding and should have been the first round matchup in an NCAA bracket. Its interesting that the first round had a three NCAA second round matchups and one of them was an upset (Felix Hugo) and another one came close (Wang Sora) and the last was a...

I think in his current form for this event, a few of the top 5 have a chance. Sora did. A few other players might get in as well. Mostly thinking LSD, Felix and LYJ.

It is really hard to sustain that to beat Kuai Man over a bo7. I really hope she can figure it out.

Who was the better player in almost every instance where Lin Gaoyuan choked? Well I guess i have to finish it sometime.

Thanks. For someone who confesses to not watching a lot of table tennis, you sure have a lot of strong opinions about it. They didn't just change the rules on serving, they also made the main rubber he used on his forehand illegal. You sound like the analysts in tennis who pretend that...

BYW, not sure if I have posted the stub but the next article is supposed to be "In defense of Lin Gaoyuan: Is losing big leads truly choking?"

You both have valid points, the main point is that trying to compare across eras always involves assumptions that are often questionable. If a player like Liu Guoliang had to retire soon after the rule changes that hurt his weapons, it begs th question of what it means to be great bedroom and...

He deserves a break. WCQ needs one as well, but he is just good enough to play while falling asleep lol. Coaching while falling asleep will result in memes... okay I am just kidding, I don't know what is really going on with WH. WCQ has impressed me more these past two matches. He clearly...

Yes, they should seed more players, at least half the field. It's cool that you enjoy watching Sora and Wang or Felix and Hugo battle in the first round, but for me that should not happen in the first round. The players who played better all year should have some reward for their seeding, not...
