The thing is that with the new ball, long pips are easier to use on all kinds of blades including offensive ones. And you could always play an offensive style with pips, it all depends on the pips and your practice time. That said, most of the value with pips is 1) if it fits your playing...

I know people who play that way all the time and I have absolutely nothing against it. The problem is when they get bothered by their missing because they haven't figured out how to adjust and remain relatively consistent or they cannot accept the missing and then complain about why they don't...

Disc herniation is a nightmare, so sorry. I have quite a few, but I have stopped playing and rested (I think one knocked me out of TT for almost 6 months, but it was the same period as when I had my kids, so I probably wasn't going to be able to play much anyways. If they say rest can help, it...

Not sure what you are saying... any clarification would be great.

Bulgaria has been hosting good Ittf tournaments for a long time. Happy that switching to WTT didn't ruin their standards.

And he admitted as much during both after match interviews but in different ways. The final was a really good match, the scorelines reflect his dominance but don't reflect his effort. The boy is flat out amazing with his ability to keep the ball on the table with quality, his superpowers made...

Equipment check: Butterfly is advertising Miwa as using Harimoto Super ALC plus Dignics 09c plus Dignics 05. And Tomo as using Harimoto ALC plus 2 Dignics 05. Thoughts?:unsure::unsure::unsure:

Breathing is very underestimated, it can take you from missing serves to returning them calmly.

It's a combination of practice and mindfulness and getting to a point where the result doesn't interfere too seriously with the abilities you have built in practice. But the game has a complexity that is mental and hard to appreciate without experiencing a lot of it. Learning to spin and...

Yeah, but don't underestimate the practice and the ease of misunderstanding the evolution that created it. Having ways to go with developing spin is entirely normal, a lot it happens at critical mass and then a switch gets flipped. Below that threshold, everyone is smashing your spin. Then...

WCQ channeling Ma Long with the backhand serve...

Sun Yingsha could be up 4-0 but she is tied 2-2. fighting is part of life lol!

UTT was over already, there were UTT players in Macao since their final is already over. Pitchford might also have been in UTT, as was Quadri. Or maybe I misunderstood and there is something else still going on.

What are their other commitments?

He still got a game.

Consider normalizing the ratings a bit as a normal distribution rather than as a linear score and see whether that makes a difference. I can't fully interpret the graphs without some description but I think they all have some value. The main issue with the first is that price might not be...

Do you play table tennis, or do you just argue with people who do? As in do you know how you can prevent her injury and maintain her playing level since you think it is a big issue? Do realize and remember that Hirano was almost out of the Olympics with a similar injury but you never heard a...

I do spend a few hours and since you read zeio, you probably do too but that just not as many as I do. My point is that if you don't spend the time, stop coming in as if you know something that the people who spend the time and who are obviously not idiots are overlooking. Like I said, if you...

She won the bronze like she was expected to. A better fight is for moral victories.

Okay. You came into this argument at the twenty-third hour and you have made your point. Thank you. You can go back and read Tony's post and decide whether any part of it required him to judge a player's career overall in all events.
