  1. Thread about Japanese Players

    Kuai would have been 18 then. I suspect Ojio Haruna also had a positive record against Kuai Man around that time and a lot gets invested into CNT players when they make the first team and are in the 19-21 age range or are consistently first team players. But by all means, it does say Hashimoto...
  2. Thread about Japanese Players

    Mostly because fans project positive on Hashimoto when her opponent hasn't played her, in reality, the CNT is bringing the threat bsck into focus and as Wang Yidi showed their results are alread improving. Hashimoto is a much stronger defender than Suh Hyo Won in 2025 but as a first step, I am...

    Well let's hope she gets her Kuai Man moment. The CNT will get Kuai ready. She used to struggle against Ojio Haruna and fixed it so unlike most, I suspect Kuai will be fine.

    Boosting didn't help it seems. That is how I feel using it unboosted.

    Miwa is not her brother, you pointed to an issue causing lingering disharmony that was not evident in anything about the team's behavior during matches. With SYS having post-Olympic doldrums, WMY being absent and Chen Xingtong not being prepared for a surprise call of duty (and we won't get it...

    Finally a realistic assessment of Honoka pending a miraculous transformation. But I guess the results of the last match helped...

    You also play mid distance so you might be able to handle it better. I just don't feel any safety for my close to the table game.
  8. Zyre 03 Rubber Review with Dimitrij Ovtcharov!

    Yes but it makes me wonder whether something is wrong with my technique when I experience that with this rubber ans not every other rubber on the market. But thankfully, other reviewers and players have discussed similar issues, but they are not discussed in most "influencer" reviews.

    It was an issue that caused WMY to be unable to travel. Was not fully disclosed but since she was the prepared player, amd was replaced late by Chen Xingtong, I doubt it was Ma Lin's choice.

    I can't play with Zyre 03. I am still trying to figure out why.

    Hina definitely needed a timeout after serving off the table at 9-7 in the 4th. But the timeout was already used.

    Understood, though in my experience, some of these things have precedents that you don't know because you are only privy to what is on camera. In any case, ultimately, what most fans judge by is the results, their quibbles with process are just scapegoating. Not saying that is the case here...

    Nakazawa called the timeout but Hina still lost the game. Again the players have to perform.

    At least no one will accuse Nakazawa of not being creative...

    Sora rejected the timeout which he technically isnt allowed to but up to that point in the match, it was hard to wrap one's head around the danger of Liang Jingkun'a form. But as we all know, hindsight is 20-20. Hopefully this will be front of mind for team coaches when they decide to let the...

    Yes I remember that video from Fang Bo On the flip side he had Lin Gaoyuan as someone with relatively low spin quality whose timing fell apart under pressure of close matches. It is what i also mean when I say mental issues are often technical issues or limtations just viewed through the story...

    With both Sora and WCQ, I would like to see how they perform under a rigorous serve rule enforcement regime before giving them 100% keys to the kingdom. If really good TTR tech is developed, they may both be in significant trouble.

    Youtube has a problem when a stream is over 12 hours long. It is something that a regular streamer who uses youtube would account for but not a single ATTU event that takes place once in a blue moon.

    It wasn't too much for Sora, but I agree with you that it is perfectly okay when someone so young can't seize the opportunity. The problem with time is that the talented Chinese juniors are still getting better - Ruibo Wen, Li Hechen etc. might not be so accomodating in a few years. The...
