She said the reason why she didn't make the Paris team wasn't injury - it was because she just wasn't selected. So she set her goals for LA 2028, just as she had goals for Paris 2024. What should a top athlete do? Just play without any goals regardless of realistic expectations? If you asked...

Those who were emphatic about Uda passing Togami have gone weirdly silent... no Tieba remarks to share?

Yeah. New narrative: Quadri is overrated because he lost to a kid who has been playing brilliantly in the German league.

Most players have to maintain something to keep their contracts so I suspect if he doesn't perform he will lose his. But a year is a long time, I suspect the issue has more to do with the opponent and maybe the environment than the rubber.

He could use Goldarc or less tacky Skyline, but Goldarc I believe is ESN so it won't have national branding. Pros look at their rubber all the time, Gauzy is a really tough nut, that backspin is sometimes heavier that people give him credit for. Hopefully he will take your advice if he...

You think DHS doesn't make any hybrid or non-tacky rubbers? It's less about the technology and more about what he feels comfortable with.

That's the thing, I felt LSW was dominating up till the injury... always felt that if DN didn't get injured, LSW would have won that match. But maybe I am just giving LSW unwanted credit lol... or remember a match from a different event entirely lol...

4-2? My memory tells me that match went 7 games... but you are right, memory is a funny thing...

They have their national games qualifiers going on right now.

Not everyone is a fan of nuance, but it was a very nuanced discussion. Anders Lind says "get to professional racket as fast as possible" - what that means will vary from person to person, especially beginners or experienced beginners who have not progressed. I am convinced this kind of...

Here is the original thread, people can read it and see if Heming is describing what other people said fairly or not (or whether they even described his position fairly as well). https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/heming-hu-on-equipment.34290/

I would like to add this video as well to this conversation:

Liam loses 2-3 to Afanadar, 11-9 in the 5th after coming back from 0-2 down... first loss in Pro A with his Joola equipment I believe... PS: Liam won the British champs this weekend and must have been pretty exhausted lol... but so must have been a few other players playing...

Looks like Alexis may injured his hand in a post match anger action after losing to Felix. Maybe he will learn something from that. source of (mis)information:

If you largely want to correct the fade, practice playing a hook and then your stroke will find a middle ground after understanding both. That is the usual path I take with my students when they wipe the ball or hook the ball too much without generating much topspin. IMHO, your stroke looks...

Thanks. I checked the history. He played on event in 2019 where he outrated the #2 player by over 200 pts ( I know the opponent - youngish adult, isn't chump change- but that opponent has also likely retired from TT). Before that, 2013, where Richard Ciz, who is a legit semiprofessional 2300...

Where did you get the 2270? He isn't a current USATT member so what was the date on that rating?

Damion Arce is a chopper i believe and is relatively young, so he should improve too.

The young Aysttalians are all under 20 so I believe they will catch up with Henzell at some point in their careers. Marcos Madrid as you point out is the true Mexican #1. Rogelio Castro is a good player but Marcos has been playing strong TT forever. He might retire sometime but he is still...
