A couple of points: my current coach has been asking me for the past month to test his backhand rubber in red since he thinks something is off with it. He doesn't want to reglue it and has played pretty much his level with it. Marcos Freitas talks about feeling as being the skill one...

Check the link I posted lol. If there is no time it isn't scheduled yet.

So now we have WCQ vd FZD and surprisingly, LSD vs YLC... maybe they should have every WTT event in China and give Yuan a coach for all his matches including against teammates lol...

The boy/man who did not want to be the GOAT....

Not sure if many are aware of this link but it also works translated and it is really awesome. Maybe it was posted earlier. You can filter by event and date. https://wrs.baygames.cn/discipline/TTE/schedule

At least she might open a debate about de-facto CNT retirement.

WCQ still has to beat LGY. No.rush there.

That's just an admission that you haven't tested ideas or talked to many TT players or teated much equipment. Very often adjusting to faster equipment requires you to olay with something uncomfortable until you adjust to it. Feel can be important but it isnt immutable and in some cases, it can...

Zhu Yuling beats Chen Xingtong. CNT retirees looking good on all fronts so far.

The LGY choke is greatly overstated. The worst player he has lost to that I remember is Noshad Alamiyan. All the other players (if you don't think he should lose to Noshad who has troubled/beaten other CNT players) were players he could and sometimes should lose to, the fashion in which he...

And that is my point. Your answer shows a very limited understanding of what is required to play table tennis well. In fact, I have watched many pros play table tennis with equipment they thought felt funny to use. I have played table tennis at pretty much my playing level with equipment I...

The original quesrion was which makes moee difference, rubber or blade. *more difference*. Both have impacts but which determines style and performance more? If you had a limited budget, would your budget go more into choice of rubbers or choice of blades? Your point that you can use a...

Thats not the experiment that is being run. The experiment is who would win, someone with a cheap blade but modern state of the art rubber or someone with a cheap rubber but modern state of the art blade. Is a pro likely to be able to.play the way he wants to because he is using a better...

No one is in quite the way you are. The rubber is key to playing style and performance because spin is the basis of the speed in the modern playing style and even cheap old blades can generate decent speed. The problem is that sometimes they are thicker than optimal so the use of composites...

Three re-quotes to answer the question? If by shot quality you mean speed, it clearly depends as you can still hit a better ball with 09c on a premade blade than you would with a no-sponge rubber or Mark V. My point in part is that you seem to be focused on optimal performance which requires a...

Got back to work so you all will be spared my.musings for a while. Still training once a week or less lol.

Is Wong Chun Ting taking Wang Chuqin 7 games a sign of weakness or strength lol?

Looks sorta like the male version of the Fan Siqi - Wang Manyu match.

As you get older, the variability becomes greater. National Games is pretty tough as well. All those guys who can't beat foreigners all the time but sometimes play like peak Ma Long for 1 hour per year get a seat at thr table.

Interesting that the Motos are finally taking a rest. Hopefully will help them a bit for the grand finals. If Joo makes it, I wonder whether it is likely for any player to drop out. That said, Sabine missing the event is not the end of the world, it is likely to be a first round exit for most...
