    Had a lesson with my coach today. We are trying to work on forehand footwork not because I will necessarily use it but because it is the most fitness taxing aspect of TT and since I dont work out as much, I also need to get as much fitness from TT as I can. I have been practicing pivot...

    Kanak Houdini Jha strikes again. He might be a Lazarus man himself lol.

    I asked a guy who should know about the decision to play Ranefur over Falck. He said it was uncontroversial and at worst a 50-50 because Falck has a reputation for not delivering in Teams matches. Just some extra color on a decision that might have seemed weird to even a not-so-casual fan like...

    Okay. So The third match was critical as Adriana was pretty certain to win 2. This encouraged them to put their second best player in the 3rd slot. Whether the US should have been able to anticipate and counter this isvan open question.

    So there is a substantial player base and the tickets are sometimes subsidized. I know there is a marketing side to this but this is not an easy sport to watch if you are not on some level a player. If we can address that problem better then the sport has a chance to grow.

    This is normal with TT. Would be interestjng to know why you expect that much different. The sport is just hard to enjoy if you are not in it as a player.

    That is the best Alexis has looked in a while. Molin prepared him well.

    If you are right France anticipates the flip.

    They fixed the order. Jishan is higher reward for sure.
  13. ITTF Pan American Championships 2025 (12 - 19 October 2025)

    The problem the USA has is I can't think of who on the US team can beat Ilzuka and Teodoro so they need Kanak to get two. If Kanak loses this the match is likely over.

    I think it has gotten to a point where he can't commentate without discussing it even if he was proven to be wrong on the topic.

    As someone who likes to claim that ABC ordering is everything, your argument sounds like a reversal of everything you have argued about the importance of team order. It wasn't just extra credit, it was the goal. He shortened the match with the success of the result. He could have gotten your...

    No, seriously. I am happy you have your bronze medal for protecting your hand. You clearly know whar it takes to win a medal and you think that Hayata could have done better following your advice so she could be like you. So I am happy for you. It is amazing you continue to cite Tieba users...

    So Kaufman has matured lol. So I guess Germany has changed players but seized the throne of Europe now....

    You're welcome. For the record, @IB66 gave a similar recommendation and I usually try rubbers with blades of different stiffness to find what makes sense to me. It's clear to me though that for many players, they will struggle quite a bit to use this on anything faster than a Viscaria and some...

    Seems the Brazilian lovebirds have no interest in team competitions, at least outside the WTTTC and the Olympics. Puerto Rico vs USA for the Women's team gold. Adriana Diaz will likely need (and get) two wins and Brianna Burgos will need to figure out how to get the last win for Puerto Rico to...

    I hope we meet in Germany too. I will be able to learn a lot about technique from experts like yourself. What is your ranking in France?
