No, not really, JackWong just has disappeared. WCT has been very consistent, including the Asian Games bronze and the last WTTTC in Busan. Ultimately, you can't play the Teams event when you don't have a Team, even when you yourself don't lose any matches.

That's one rationalization. That said, he can and does score points of his serves and now he can clearly loop kill loose returns. But the serve itself doesn't scare anyone and it is all various pendulums and straight backspin no spin combos and I can't remember the last time I saw him serve...

I think he has always done that as far as I can remember. But my memory may be faulty - he still has those very basic serves that somehow work well for him.

Tanaka has shown he can beat WCQ so he doesn't have to worry about the rest of the world ;)

It was complete domination, Shinopi did try some short topspin serves in game 2 thar made it interesting but on the whole, Kanak annihilated him for that level of play

What I like about Wakkibaty's post is the reminder that to grow a sport, you need to build industry around it. Is tennis really that much more TV friendly than table tennis is? I am not entirely sold. Not even sure football/soccer is that entertaining either if you come to it as an adult and...

Did you see the video on how his father trained him to develop topspin by looping a ball on a string? What did you think about that?

Probably not - too much conservatism built into the sport. Yes, if I had the sport, I would limit the speed of equipment and go back to grass roots hard bat or limited old school Mark V.

Anyone who has ever heard Zhang Jike's post match commentaries from the days Zeio used to translate them will agree that if Zhang Jike wants to coach, he will be a good coach. He always sounded very thoughtful and reasonable when assessing the challenges. I haven't watched a lot of his...

I find it impossible to detect SJAN and yet you do it with ease! Wow...

Isn't this a year or two old? And didn't grandpa lose the rematch?

It's a global issue not just an English issue. TT needs a kick in the butt at a level beyond anything that is specific to just the TT environment in every country.

If they see it, then you may not be selling the trajectory or your backspin may be too light for them to fee the difference, in which casei would encourage you to get yout straight backspin heavy enough that the difference with no spin is significant. But as you said, regardless of what they...

I guess maybe this way they save time. Maybe it was as an alternative to not eliminating deuce points. The draw thing might just bring a new feeling to TT, but I know a league that played something like this in Pittsburgh, maybe that is why I am not yet nauseated.

He did not, he answered your question perfectly. He pointed to a specific point in the video that illustrated Dewitt playing a topspin looking stroke which his opponent countered into the bottom of the net. Respond to that specific assertion or say you don't agree with what he presented, but...

I don't think that what you are saying is true. The material doesn't change the spin, the lack of grip allows the rotation to continue and also makes it react less to spin. Long pips rarely produce spin that is not already on the ball and often kill spin It is their ability to kill spin...

I used to hate carbon blades. But at a certain point, spin and consistency has its limits and speed of the game becomes very important. It is better to use your spin to maintain consistency than to use it to score points directly, and that is the approach to faster blades - get your spin to a...

So there is Korean JPenner I know who uses it with hurricane. I use it two winged looping H3 both sides, 41 degrees. I know a chopper who uses it with Dignics 09c. I know someone who didn't like 09c on it but liked 05. In all these things, my opinion is that you like what you like...

This is true, but saying that the blade doesn't work with hybrid rubbers is not speaking for you, it is speaking for everyone. In the end, everything needs to be framed in the context of one's experience. I have only used it with tacky or hybrid rubbers and I have had no complaints.

For me, that is an advantage, since I like to grip deep on the neck. Again, everyone is different. Sometimes I also like to use Karakasevic/Trus grip. So for me, none of it is special, as long as handle is not too fat and neck works, I like anything.
