Togami defending lol....

3-2 6-1 to 3-2 6-7... Togami doesnt want you to celebrate, he wants you to have a heart attack...

Now it is 2-2. Can Togami put the ball on the table just one more time than his opponent? Even at the pro level, hitting winners is sometimes overrated....

Zyre - playing with fire...

Zhou is fighting through it. The problem with playing this fast is what happens when the misses pile up. Does Togami have a good lower gear?

Togami is hitting the ball so hard the opponent needs to get the first attack. It is unusual for Zhou to survive such.... but he is trying ideas for sure. 2-0 now.

Ninja table tennis is in the building!

I think the issues are more than that, I think Saro also uses traditional LP though i could be wrong. You need variation to keep these attackers off you you need variation

I think they will need to bring out a Sun Yingsha Wang Manyu pairing. They really should let these chopping ladies try for LA 2028

Best of seven i think helps him, his opponent has been on form for a while now so Togami really needs help.

Doubles is interesting. Matsushima killed Yuan Licen. Few would argue that Yogami and Xu are not on the same level. Yet this doubles match is consistently being won by the pairing of "worse players"

Am I the only one who forgets why Yuan Licen is a CNTvplayer until I watch matches like this?

She has more time ans she is actually the close to the table forehand finisher amongst the two. But no, it is not just you, many people think Sato is the more aggressive player in the pairing.

It's something my coach was trying to get me to do more before summer, for me my grip choice is very amateurish, it is designed to give me the ability to play many shots decently without massive grip transitions. I would probably need to do more of a grip switch to get a more visible wrist...

DHS is still invested in selling his rubbers lol. WTT venues usually do use different tables and to a lesser degree balls but those are usually advertised ahead of time in the tournament prospectus. Some series/events do use similar stuff as part of any contractual arrangement but there is...

Good luck. I competed last month but I almost never do, i tend to focus on what I enjoy (tournaments, my use of equipment, my play). I wanted to see whether your contributions were truly organic or whether you were trying to game the system to get a result. And I saw that you were gaming the...

Try to spin the heck out of the ball, even if it goes very slow. Get those spin trainers from Amazon or Aliexpres. Getting good spin usually implies a whipping process that rewards many aspects of your game. Also backhand opener is mostly for push returns off half long or short serves, it is...

Opening vs backspin is the foundation of my game, as is backhand play, my forehand is mostly serviceable to keep some balance. You find that if you can generate decent backspin and open against it, you have a window into beating just about every player who doesn’t counterloop, even players who...

If you listen to an old TTD podcast with Freitas, Freitas said coaches are often not helpful (I think he has gone as far as to call coaching useless on some occasions but since the source is not around, I won't over stress it). Now the Chinese do a lot of analysis on players and opponents and...

That's the simple explanation, but it also is another way of saying we don't really know if we have to chalk it up to many differences. How long will those differences last? If he plays longer in the league, which of those things will no longer remain a difference when he is doing well? If...
