Kanak lost two matches, and really badly to Apolonia. Did Dusseldorf invest in the wrong guy?

Nah, Coton is too young to compete for LA 2028 and he doesn't combine well with Alexis and Felix. The experts on French table tennis have spoken. @PoppaChubby this is correct?

Some of the key points are later in the video after 8 minutes in till the end.

I am only going to get away with this if I can convince my wife to travel... let's see....

With the new plastic ball more than ever and with the improved rubbers as well, you do better trying to hit and brush with solid contact and relatively open racket faces hitting the right spot on the ball and then adding and controlling spin on the follow through than to set the racket closed...

Closing the racket leads to a lot of racket edging, I prefer people find the contact point (usually on side top) like you said. This plastic ball lets you get away with setting the angle late.

@Baal always reminded us that table tennis is a sport that playing at your best will leave you without feeling like you are focused on anything in particular. If you feel you are improving your play by doing something consciously, then you are unlikely to be playing at your best. You are just...

Had a lesson with my coach this Sunday for the first time in a while since he was not around for the summer. Tried to establish some movement again and worked on my chiquita backhand. I was also testing a new blade, which I have my doubts about but will keep the blade since I like the shape...

I would be surprised if your position is not already known to @mamedium but you continue your campaign against pips with your argument that they are only used by players who cannot execute the correct technique as of it is impossible for a young player to want to play that style even if they...

Aura is outside my budget unfortunately. An ALC Cybershape would be awesome but Stiga is allergic to ALC so...

I guess it is politically incorrect to congratulate Sidorenko...

I actually thought it was decent with 09c. When I put on the 80, I had so many shots where I felt I hit the ball decently but the ball did not go. 80 is my main rubber and I Want to commit to the Cybershape but a bit disappointed with the consistency of grab and go.

The account is pretty self-serving, it is like calling Kyoka Idesawa an amateur player. Togami played WJTTC for Japan. You can argue that he didn't always perform great, but he is never as off the grid as this ridiculous account would lead you to believe. Yes, I am not a fan of Togami's...

Hahaha - they usually do this when the ranking changes so nothing special. That said, there is something to be said for the world #1 being the world champion and I think the loss of the ranking will help LSD as well. He was being burdened with unreasonable expectations largely because of the...

I dont understand most of the reviews to be honest. Maybe I got a bad one. It plays like a thick wooden blade but nothing special in that regard. The main reason I got it is that I like the handles and wings on Cybershapes, but I don't find this blade forgiving, you need to catch the ball in...

And so over the table as well.

Part of the reason I ask about TTR is that WCQ was clearly serving over the table IMHO. Umpires and servers need to do better.

I found it interesting that there is no TTR at these events. Is that a bug or a feature?

There was a Smash in Europe in between that where Harimoto lost to An Jaehyun. What's going on there is anyone's guess but it is not as simple as a performance downgrade.

Final still coming, don't jinx me lol.
