Ratings got processed from the Myrtle Beach tournament and I am over 2000 USATT again even if barely. More points to donate to the underrated Texas crowd. Though my mild reprieve is that the kids most likely to beat me all came out higher rated than I did at Myrtle Beach.

He meant what he said and I think there is justification for his position even though there is clear and strong grounds for disagreement.

Hmmm.. I know what you mean but I don't think many would agree with how you describe it - I have had similar arguments with people comparing Quadri's forehand to Truls's forehand. What I like about Oh's game is that he moves more than his father does, but he has the same ball control instincts...

It's unfortunate that Stefan Fegerl is ignominously retired, he would have been a great candidate for this as well. I think that players who almost never miss at a high level are harder opponents for these competitions than attackers who take risks to win points, though at the world class...

Very disappointed in the style that Togami played against a clearly competent Oh. It suspect some of if was because his personal coach was not around but regardless, Togami has to do better, if he cannot change speeds with Zyre, he is better off playing with something else lol.

There is a big difference between having wins over said players amd having a winning record vs said players.

Many good athletes have similar issues, it can be helped by the right kind of training.

I dont live in the area any morr and don't have his info but his name is Sho. That said I do believe that the level of the coach given your daughter's age and level is far more important than their experience with short pips.

Togami vs Oh should be the last match I watch tonight - would love to watch Kanak but I have to be up early tomorrow and I think even Togami vs Oh is pushing it.

Depends on the level of player you are looking for, but this forum might not be the best place to ask, there are lots of good table tennis community and clubs in NY/NJ - Lily Yip, Princeton Pong, Westchester TTC and so on. The highest level player you could find would probably be Jian Li but as...

You got me lol. Fair response.

The decided to play games 4 and 5 without stopping lol....

Don't blame players who were coached from a young age too much, you believe almost everything you hear from the authorities you trust while growing up. Very few traditions would survive otherwise.

The technique works so he can say anything he wants but you are being too charitable here. It is easier to lift a falling ball and the contact points after the peak are more forgiving to certain swings. Describing that as "less spin " is not insightful.

The banana had an upward element it is hard to add topspin to a ball that isnt falling. There are many reasons to adapt or take the ball earlier or later but less spin is a confusing way of communicating any of them.

You can give charitable interpretations for sure. While i don't think this gets to the point, the main thing is they know human beings usually need reasons for what they do, so they are trying to provide one they may have heard from someone else or come uo with themselves, but its objective...

The sad part is that it's taking Honoka's initiative to get out what many people could see should have been executed upon at least last year after the WTT finals. The good part is that something is happening, hoping it will yield fruit for LA 2028.

What I mean is when playing the correct technique, don't focus only on powerful offensive shots, play at all gears from 1 to 4/5, spending most of the your shots on gears 3/4, but making sure you also know how to rally at gears 1/2 while still playing offensive shots. Many people don't know...

If it was the collision that caused the injury then that was likely a fracture, how they let him come back after that is crazy to me. But I thought it was something in the fall after. Hence my mistaken comments.
