Yeah, but look at where you hit the shot and look at what it does to the angle of play and how it challenges your anticipation. It is true this is a lefty so that probably made you want to avoid the forehand but in reality, the wide forehand is a weak point for *both* players if hit from the...

He admitted to being inspired by Ito's approach. Amazing and food for thought.

Truls? Alexis?

Some of the dumbest table tennis I have seen Harimoto play - he really needs to work on his mindset. Long serves, repeatedly opening to the backhand after Truls had proven he could counter with the punch... good match but dumb play.

Whatever you think of Hari-boy and Truls, they have improved their weak sides SOOO much...

SHW reminds us that age is a number... for choppers!

where are these bets taken? I need to get in on the action.

It took me a long time to appreciate the obsession with footwork. I am still of the opinion that most players can play decently well without it, and that it is at the advanced levels that footwork issues truly show up. I know someone who believes the reason I can get away with this is that I...

In the end, i would say that just let the results determine what you play best with. Even with Dignics 80, my short pushing is noticeably worse and I tend to drive more no spin balls long. I also struggle to out spin some lower rated players who would just back off my ball when I used stickier...

Give Wang Liqin the plastic ball and no speed glue and we can discuss.

Lightworks is not very simple but you can use youtube to learn it and it can be used to create what you want for free.

I clearly spoke too soon.

Zhu Chengzhu looks well prepared to loop that chop today. She seems to have worked to close out this gap in her game.

In a match, you rarely get the same serve over and over again every 5 seconds or so. To simulate match practice, after doing some block drills like practicing against a specific serve, you have to have your server mix up spins and location so you can practice skills closer to what would happen...

I don't think it was that simple, how often do you see WCQ loop backspin pushes into the net, even when he plays badly? Give his opponent some credit.

Of course, we were all over it in the youtube chat. And that was what @AndySmith was talking about in his post-match post.

Felix and Xiang played a tremendous match in the French league so this will be a good match for Xiang - an opponent he knows and who he has competed well with. The question is whether Xiang has made the same growth Felix has - it isn't that obvious if he has.

So if you have ever analyzed the Tenergy pips configurations, you will know that while they are all spinny rubbers, the arc of 05 is higher than 80 which is higher than 64, so this makes 05 spinnier than 80 and 64. It makes 80 faster than 05. Now in the case of Tenergy, 05 and 80 felt much...

I think you are giving your pet narrative too much credit and Oh Kwanghun too little. Injury might have played a role, and she was still 2-0, 7-3 up before losing.
