The issue is more with your ability to understand what I am saying than anything I actually said. I said the statements and explanations based on the quantity of spin are useless fron a physics standpoint. The coaches are giving good technical advice but are explaining it with dubious physics...

Hopefully the strength and conditioning coaches can fix whatever the kid has because that looks like something that shouldn't have caused an injury. Would be a shame for us to lose a talent at this level if it is preventable with better physical training. But it is possible he has something...

I hope @joshmak10 doesn't give up on Huang because of the loss to Quadri. The young shall grow and the old shall slow...

Hugo has shown this ability a lot and I think it is often a disservice to the opponent to make this largely about them. Hugo plays more aggressive when he is down a lot and it takes more to disrupt him. An has also never beaten Hugo so it becomes harder ro think about it when you are down by...

Not at all, the match just flipped on narrow margins and I think 10-4 in the decider made Shin relax and then she won 5 points in a row and lost a good match point where Odo realized aggression was the only way. All the games were by minimum margin so these players are as closely matched as...

Top pros glue and reglue a lot because of their frequency of using rackets in training and water based glue affects the rackets over time. The considerations that lead to their choices and decisions are very different from how we amateurs usually think based on our training regimen and cost...

You don't understand my point so let me explain it again, hppefully better. Some coaches might say something like wait for the ball to drop because the spin is less and you can attack more easily. Or counterspin later because the spin is less. My point is none of those things are really about...

Oh, Youtube commenters have explained that Wen got injured playing in CSL (against XX I suspect given your comments).

An's backhand is so improved... but improvement means nothing to Hugo... What did XX do?

Thankfully, Sreeja isn't Japanese or Chinese - I am sure there is toxic fandom in India as well, but I guess it won't be as bad as a Chinese or Japanese losing the first round of Champions every time...

Wow... looks like Tieba fans are everywhere lol:

Are we still taking rides on the Circle line?

Landing balls deep is good but don't get too enamored with it if you can't land 50 loops in a row against basic block under pressure - too many players get enamored with what happens when their loops go right and don't have backup for when their loops are not landing beyond defaulting to lame...

People make all kinds of statements about the physics of table tennis that are really comments on their experience of how difficult it is to do things with balls at certain points in the travel trajectory and are far less about physics. That's why I laugh at where you are coming from, these...

Goals keep you going whether you achieve them is not entirely about you...

I think in the end, it was good for Honoka. She played Almaty and won, and she beat He Zhuojia, a traditional problem opponent for her. She might have gotten to play Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu at the Champions but I don't think the value in ranking points or personal belief would have been as...

Participated in a team event that was locally hosted. It had golden scoring and best of 3 matches, 9 matches, 3 doubles, 6 singles for a first to 14 games. It was double elimination and my team won our first match but lost our next two. Too much work, too little time. But I think I see...

I thought since Ito was an Olympic gold medallist that Japan would get an extra spot. Or they got one and Hashimoto still didn't fit?

Waiting for the Tieba crowd to say it was only Zhou Qihao etc. ..

Congrats to Shunsuke Togami! Finally!
