One to four, China. Five to eight, Japan.

Thanks. You made it easy to find. Some interesting round 1 matches though they might bore some...

Got an email saying MLTT is going on CBS sports. Not entirely sure what it implies but sounds cool without then details.

But those are much harder than pips to attack with.

Antipower is a Yasaka brand of anti-spin I believe...

Obviously he has character issues. But he knows his table tennis. And even as an EJ, I tend to find a lot of stuff about blades outside of rebound and vibration/sound to be extremely silly. But whatever makes money tends to find fools who believe it.

He was obviously being comedic, but his point was that it doesn't do anything for him. Even the whole thing was more like a skit.

I dont think we are seriously disagreeing. Customization of a design of a blade for a specific player (and even rubber) can be and usually is a long back and forth process. Usually the biggest things are to get a certain speed of blade and a specific handle design with a specific...

Financials are not public so no one knows how big or little the money is...

But most of them are over 30 and past their prime. It is the age that matters not the playing level... Edit: did you list Wang Wei?

I have a piece of land in Arodan I want to sell you...l

A couple of things - football is a sport where you run around for 90 minutes, so age plays a huge role there vs table tennis, as aerobic capacity is significantly affected as you get older. Messi did not leave Barca for the US directly, Messi already had a stint at PSG before coming to the USA...

The quality is not in the construction per se, it is more in the selection given tolerances. Yes, after the blade is built and selected, it is easy to say "ah, this and that and this and that about the blade make it special", but no one can manufacture a blade and be very sure the blade will...

The soccer analogies I will leave for another time. I have already explained what is wrong with them - as you get older, your priorities change and you need to be able to measure the playing level of the payer independent of the league which is harder in soccer but easier in table tennis. We...

As someone going through PT right now, I read her statement very differently, sometimes the way you used to do things before is no longer accessible, but it doesn't mean the new way is worse or can't get easier or stronger with time. Let's give her time rather than posting sensationalized...

So Hayata is using Antispin and has her pro career cut short because of bad coaching. If only she had you around, it would all be different...

Not overlooking anything so much as saying that video was the reason this thread was resuscitated and I liked the video enough to share it. I pretty much never watch ERT stuff or share it because I consider him to be a bit of a scumbag.

This is still bad logic and not what you originally argued. Are you arguing from the quality of Ronaldo's play to the quality of the Saudi league (which is the argument you made about Kou Lei) or arguing from the quality of the the Saudi league to the quality of Ronaldo's play (a different...

The young players in the league are many. They just haven't become household names or are 2600 players. Ma Jinbao, Eric Jouti, Nikhil Kumar, Adi Sareen, Nandan Naresh, Sid Naresh, Daniel Tran, Darryl Tsao and there are others. The way you see the league depends on your understanding of table...

For me, Golden Viscaria is the same thing as the use of serial codes to claim one blade plays better than another. There are no physical properties of a blade apart from the technique of the user once the blade is well built and consistent.
