Yes and if anyone who read the prior conversation understood what I was responding to, the ststemrnt was entirely correct. Unfortunately people who just want to argue continue to refuse to accept that coming into a conversation int rhe middle and then pretending that you understand what was...

Went to an unsanctioned TT tournament. It was at a club that meets once a week that I don't usually visit. But the first and only prize was $200 and I felt I had a good chance to win depending on who showed up. It was a giant round robin format with the extra step that the two top seeds in...

The problem with Donic blades like these is that I have not trusted the manufacturing standards in recent times. Hopefully I wil be wrong for the sake of others.

Thanks. At least they are smarter than Xiom who decided to sit on a decision to discontinue the blade of a World Cup champion before coming to a late realization of how stupid that was.

Everyone gets tired. So the statement is meaningless. The point is wherher playing two matches in one day is something to consider when looking at a players performance. Is it okay to say that the final result between Felix and Wang didnt reflect their true levels since WCQ was playing triple...

The young shall grow, the old shall slow. I like Felix's and LSD's chances.

My question was addressing a player playing two matches in one day or 3 matches in two days. So was I wrong to answer the question the way I did? Or I used the coaches answer to respond to a quesrion that did not apply? Or maybe I should be looking at Hugo's life before answering the question.

Korbel is a bit outdated for .modern table tennis, not saying it can't work but given the importance of modern blocking, and how the modern rubbers produce spin, using it is swimming uphill and might require you to relearn blocking feeling if you choose a faster racket later after using Korbel...

Its a process. The biggest things are 1) the anticipation to predict that the ball will come to a place on the table where the forehand is a good/best option. 2) the footwork and athleticism to make the positioning work. 3) making the shot 4) making it consistently enough for you to he...

And we are sure Coton plays with it lol?

Coaching can make a big difference in some of these matchuos. Maybe if Wang Hao is on the bench and feeds Wang Chuqin thr right information, maybe Xiang Peng doesnt take forever to beat.

Wang Chuqin has the XX syndrome. I see a fellow CNT player: nothing to play for here. I see a foreigner: I shall hunt him to the ends of the earth until he is crushed by my serves and powerloops.

Felix needs to give WCQ balls to kill and play defense, he keeps getting surprised by the balls as if he cant believe WCQ can make the shots he is making.

Its not easy to make improvements. He is probably working on stuff but it will take at least 6 months to 2 years, sometimes more, to manifest in matches as something he can hang his hat on. And this is not something that it is going to be easy to measure by watching him play someone like...

Well I asked a top coach whether it was fair for players to play three events in seven days. He said that their training generally prepares them for it so it is not as big a deal.as it looks on paper for many of them and that their bodies are highly specialized for it. So I guess it is up to...

Well I have to watch the final live just because Felix is playing. Otherwise I might have slept through it.

XP wants no part of this. China will eat him alive if he beats WCQ and loses to Felix.

Game time!

It does show up on slow mos. But the other thing you can do is measure the blade frequencies. That tends to tell you pretty quickly of the blades are really comparable or not. If Butterfly is somehow making the FZD more flexible, then systematically the FZD will be consistently less stiff than...

Just terrible.
