Excited for the upcoming matches. We might get to see a patented TBH appearance following a Harimoto loss to LJK!

That's completely normal, don't baby him! Now hitting your wrist on the table or breaking your blade, that is sadness

Kamal is a beast, would never have predicted that.

WR58 is a sandbagger, we all know this... he should be playing with his mates like Felix Lebrun, Alexis Lebrun and Sora Matsushima, not with old men like CCY and Hugo...

Long pips strike again, SHW beats CIC! Am I too late to get on the bandwagon?

They were sent by the T-League teams, not by the Japanese national team.

I think starting young makes a huge difference to many things, you get used to things that make no sense to people who didn't grow into them. Also, China has struggled mightily to replicate Wang Hao which may speak for itself. But if I tried to play penhold or teach a kid, I would try to get...

I bought a Tenaly once because I am a fan of wrist action and like to grip my blade like a gun but the quality of the blade itself didn't impress me. Whatever it does is not enough for the handle design to be more than one thing amongst other things to consider when choosing a blade. So a lot...

I am not sure this addresses the point I am trying to make, and I am not entirely sold it is true either. A lot of stuff in table tennis is acquired with practice and skills are built upon a foundation of other skills. Very little about table tennis is entirely natural (did you hold the racket...

I think when making such statements, given that there have been as many if not more shakehand champions as penhold champions, that one needs to show that one understands table tennis sufficiently to make such a claim. It's far more likely that there are benefits and demerits to each grip and...

Franziska is the kind of player who should be a nightmare for the Chinese - built like a tank, power on both sides, moves fairly well, has great ability to keep the ball short and tight, good backhand openers so he isn't stuck pushing all the time... everything is right on *paper* except the...

Ma Long preferred to lose to Franziska than to lose to Dima lol!

Happy Eerland is back from her having a child. Europe needs such women players to keep going even if they can't beat the top Asians.

I am In both camps to be honest. Just telling you that path 2 is just like path 1, but you don't think it is.

NDH explained the exact problem to you. Serve return is the most difficult part of the game and I remember when I was around your level and I was miserable about how many players would just serve me off the table and one of them just told me exactly what NDH said - it is the part of the game...

It's the forehand and footwork mode that the Koreans use (zeio analyzes it a lot) - it has a high ceiling but when the player is tired or not in maximal form, it leads to poor results. Cho has the lefty advantage as well, but the more balanced Koreans will be able to do better against more...

It also happened in a worse way in Houston 2021. But Zhou Qihao is probably too weak for it to register.

They can be great for more than beginners, but they may not add that much to your playing level beyond a certain point. The truth is that some of us have technical issues generating spin that can be examined and fixed using such machines. You can get good spin with power loops but many people...

Have you worked with spin trainers before? They don't work the way you think they do.

He has flaws in his game that can be exploited by players who know what to target, especially around serve and receive. Just one of the issues of not growing up in perfect TT culture. But top 10 player from South America, it is what it is, you have to be happy that someone can even get that...
