Don't think anyone would call influenza an excuse except the most macho competitors. But competing is like that, especially when you can't get out of playing.

It was always a miracle for him to make the QF. He won the match he was favored to win and should be the underdog by seeding in the next match. By seeding, he is not supposed to make the QF.

Why should we, he isn't being hyped up as some terminator who the Chinese are quaking in their boots at facing and should be playing ahead of LYJ...

Yeah but Quadri served to a location with deception that he wasn't expecting. Mr Forehand is a smarter player than people give him credit for. Even the last thirdball was immaculate, that was probably the first time he took that shot the whole match.

Lin Yun Ju already out after a civil war with Chuang Chi Yuan. Whether in national interests or not, thanks WTT for profesionalizing the sport...

Don't let that matchball highlight be your main impression of the match, Drinkhall lost the first game but dominated the match.

Ionescu is top German league player but that is as good as it gets for qualifiers coming into the smash and Drinkhall has a chance. Drinkhall won all qualifier three matches as rhe better player watching them to my mind and would have been unlucky to falter at the end vs Rolland (the match with...

Tampa 5000 is very stiff and hard compared to the ALC or ZlC composites, that is why you don't see it used as often. Most people who like the T5000 blades but are looping focused would do better with an SZLC or now SALC blade. Of course the cost difference might discourage them, but the...

For T80, Tibhar Genius

Without Without the EJ, butterfly and ESN are our of business. The drug dealers need their addicts.

All such things are personal, to me H3 is a backhand rubber :P.

Anyone who plays enough and competes enough has at least one experience like that, especially when playing better player but overperforming for a period. One may not even be enough. That is why anyone who pretends that LGY is a serious choker just hasn't played enough.

Passive is the last thing you want your backhand to be vs Wang Hao. Especially with that old ball that you could spin the heck out of.

I believe it was more the use of softer sponge Hurricane in backhand as well as some grip modifications. But he clearly had issues rallying with WH backhand to backhand and I am still of the view that the ball changes made backhand blocks and counters easier to play.

It's not easy to track things anymore since mytt lost a lot of its posts with a hacker attack on its main forum. But Ma Long did change equipment in late 2014 and revised his backhand grip and technique, partly in response to the plastic ball and prior results. Such details are easy to miss if...

Think of it more developmentally. The correct answer to the original question is that there is no training that by itself makes you a professional, it is more a matter of combining exposure/practice with how well the student distinguishes himself in those settings to warrant being given more...

You like reviving dead posts it seems....

She played on a national team that had a chopper so absolutely terrified is a bit much. Han Ying is just hard to beat, she isn't the standard to be used when saying that someone doesn't know how to play choppers.

VPN time!

Yes, it is, but Quek is young and getting better, and is clearly a talent.
