You can reorient the pendulum to make it happen in front of the body and Truls already does something like this. Something like this is also true for various serves that are side on. But this would require pros to change the way they serve and they have not bought into this.

Yeah but your pendulum doesn't have the kind of sidespin action that we are talking about here. But I agree, it is possible to serve anything to pips and attack the return, it is just that people who serve sidespin without some practice have no hope of figuring out how the attack the return...

Not the point though, the point is that Jpen is not a serious limiter of your level at the amateur or even pro-level, it comes down to other things.

I don't know if I agree it is slapping but it is high level play for sure.

It is her best stroke. You haven't watched the matches lol.

Their coach didn't even come to the podium. That even spoke more loudly about the sentiments.

I haven't played with a seamless ball in a while but I remembered back then when I did and it was the only decent ball that it was easily the closest thing to celluloid in playing feeling even though it cracked easily. Could that explain some of what we saw in this event? I don't remember...

People stick AI into all kinds of BS ro make it sound more credible, in the end the argument is only as good as the evidence for it.

Sure. Pretending that you know my opinion on this despite my posting here for 10 years and you just joining probably under a new name. Give me a break. There have been a lot of discussions on serves over many years and many back and forth proposals. The players carry the bulk of the...

No, not financial cost. You need to read and understand better before accusing people. Part of the reason why tennis and soccer and other big sports brought in VAR is because there is lots of money tied to TV deals and fans and losing integrity ruins the sport. In table tennis, there isn't...

Blah blah blah. The rule is clear and enforceable, the problem is there is not enough money in the sport or interest from wealthy nations outside of Asia to care. When the computer they used in the 2019 ITTF grand finals faulted Ma Long very often, they put it in the freezer. When the GOAT...

Kim beat Chinese players too, she was the class of the tournament for me, her teammates couldn't get it done or they may have gotten the gold medal.

Which PrK third place? There were two Japanese, One Chinese and one South Korean. No PRK in men's.

The WJTTC, usually my favorite event of the year, is in Sweden in late November. Faraji just raised the anticipation for the event.

Look who is playing Dima in the first match... https://www.youtube.com/live/DsdOk_YUsj0?si=JLPQsRISX6tohHDS

Will Ma Lin keep his job?

Manush Uptibal Shah 3-0 An Jaehyun. LYJ 3-0 XP.

WJTTC is in the last week of November, let's see what happens there first before we start asking him to play adults almost exclusively.

It's the zeio effect, fans of Hirano start sounding like haterz because of all the supposed Tieba hype being rejected.

I don't think Ayhika is about being better than teams than singles, I think Ayhika gets better as the opponent gets better because she can control high quality balls when they don't overwhelm her and returning all that spin to the opponent can be devastating. People who know how to play within...
