I have seen multiple.throughout the event. Europe cares about animal rights lol.

Gauzy delivers. I thought this was a bad matchup for Germany but I guess they didn't have a better one.

Felix survives landmine 1. This 3rd match is huge. I think both teams can still win even if they lose this but France will struggle much more with a loss here. But Gauzy knows how to play Dang for sure.

This con artist thing - the rankings are what they are. Other than continental controversy, everyone earns their ranking.

Pretty sure he was in the bottom of the top 10 before his injury. As for being overrated, that is for everyone to decide. But apart from his serving issues which I think he needs to clean up, he is a younger version of Hugo and we all see what Hugo has done in terms of being able to hit with...

There is a first time for everything, between the injury and Duda's improvement, things were trending this way. What I like is how you project the current into the past as if it has always been this way.

Let's be clear here, there are a lot of spinny rubbers out there. I gave the Tronix ZGR comp to Zyre 03 ( hard sponge and maybe less hard topsheet, no tack, feels a bit glassy). Some of it I suspect is philosophical. Most players i know who play spinny table tennis at the intermediate...

No one is pretending they cant loop with Zyre in practice conditions. I can post that video if everyone has the wrong impression because they think that technique is about watching video of a match. Anyone can hit loops with a rubber in practice and can even change their technique to mimic...

Butterfly marketing won't allow that discussion at this stage.

I tell mine to shut up. But it reminds me before doing so that it will have the last laugh...

Playing table tennis in your 20s, 40s and 60s is like watching the first ten minutes, the middle 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes of a large 5 hour concert. The performer pretends they have something left when everyone knows the party is over.

When I got it, I hit with it a bit and I realized there was no way I was going to be able to play with it out the box in a tournament. Now as someone notorious amongst my TT friends for being able to play with anything, this was a new experience. And I gave the comp of Tronix ZGR, so it is not...

Well, Harimoto can beat Wang Chuqin in a big match to win a medal. Then we can revisit this. His team also lost to Sweden with Truls in the lineup. And he is not stupid enough to call the reigning Olympic silver medallists shit after they beat Japan to win the medal. But you can trash talk...

Oh well, I guess you have your own bronze medal for taking care of your hand.

Its a bit much to call the defending champs and Olympic silver medallists garbage based on a match that your country lost to them. Sour grapes?

You mean there is no prestige to having an Olympic medalist at your event over an aspiring player? You mean you really believe Nagasaki is better than Hayata? Hayata was probably simply the best player not already on the draw...

Then he isnt playing for sure and I was wrong.

Let's just say you and I have different definitions of having the technique to use a rubber. If you cant play tournament matches with a rubber, you dont have the technique to use it.

Likely taking a rest. I suspect they will come back if they have to face the USA, Puerto Rico, Canada or Argentia to name a few of the seeded teams.

Guys, please lets move on from all the theoretical talk of how to play topspin. If you guys are courageous enough to share your own play so we can all see how experts loop, by all means, please share. If I post a video thread asking for help on how to fix my technique, I will take all your...
