  1. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    I don't think I remember a player being as loud as Ankur is in this match when he wins points - worse than classic Harimoto because it is clearly in a team environment and amplified by teammates and directed at the opposition lol...
  2. My new Setups problem

    Wood is a living thing and when you measure the frequency and the weight of the blade, the answers to such questions tend to come out especially if there is no well glued composite to maintain consistency or the blades are made years/decades apart.
  3. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    It's the post-Covid era, everyone does it differently, we often read too much meaning into things that happen after a match is over.

    We need TT funding... I am rooting for U19 GT.... ;)

    And he gets baited into an attack with a short serve to the forehand and misses that... congrats to Italy!

    Some of the attacks Yu is taking over the table with his forehand look really amazing...
  7. My new Setups problem

    A glue job is a glue job, even pros question their glue jobs based on how the racket plays after they glue it. Some people are able to play with rackets glued by other people and while I kinda get it, I honestly don't get it. I struggle to trust a racket I didn't glue myself.

    That's their ace... they are trying to get him over the line though they are still in good hands till the end.
  9. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Poor Zhao - those service points at 2-2, 7-7... and another at 2-2, 8-10.. someone's forehand will go into the lab lol...
  10. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    We tend to think of comebacks as the team in the lead "bottling it", but not sure I agree in many cases... it would depend on if the changes that caused the "bottling" were the result of the team in the lead doing something different or wrong... this is rarely my experience watching high level TT...

    Ishida better win... China can still come back for sure....
  12. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Lol. China used to refuse to have teams at this age level. In the end, most of what makes these players stronger happens in later adolescent years after funneling lots of players through.
  13. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Some of these CNT players flame out and some get better on a different time table. Ruibo also had that injury where he hit the table but he should have recovered from that given National Games and all. It might be a new era but how Liang Jingkun and Jang Woojin ultimately reminds us that we...
  14. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    I would agree with this though i can understand other views. Li is young and just got to this level. I really dont understand how Sun Yang remains relevant given his style but somehow he does, maybe there just isn't anyonr else. Wen should have been expected to win two matches if he was as...
  15. National Games of China 2025, 11/9-21, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao

    That was what I thought as well or he was saying this was his second title. In any case, it is just celebration lol...

    U15 Girls - Irene Yeoh pf the USA qon both ger matches vs Romania and was up 2-0 on her Chinese opponent before it all fell down...
  17. Used Viscaria and Innerforce? Help!

    Stick with your blade, use Dignics 80 or 64. 05 needs active backhand for optimal play, 80 and 64 reqard passive play far better. 80 is still great if you want to remain offensive, 64 is quick but not as spinny.
  18. Major League Table Tennis (MLTT)

    He has been serving that way for decades, it is and has been ridiculous that he isn't faulted almost every time.
  19. Major League Table Tennis (MLTT)

    Is it fair for Lebesson to cho so loudly as he beats Guan lol? Only in MLTT...
