I get your point but you make it sound like those junior stars were performing badly when for the most part, they were just unable to beat the Chinese. Miwa might be no different. Hayata's natural growth as you describe it is neither here nor there. She still hasn't achieved anything with her...

It should be purely in in-year performance on WTT events driving this.

Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu had more blockers yes, but Sun Yingsha was already winning ITTF Senior level events in 2017. https://www.ittf.com/2017/12/22/sun-yingshas-sensational-2017/ There really is no disagreement here, the point we are making is about level of play, your point is about...

I think it will show whether the Cybershape is as innovative as the blade composition, which I think when you look at the Inspira, might be the true hero of the Cybershape performance.

So if Harimoto's parents had moved to Korea and not Japan, he would be a gold medallist? :unsure:

He won the first to give us false hope - still there is something in the water...

Lee had a big backhand stroke that used to break down in these situations I will atch again to see what they did to get him to match up with Fan. Fan probably couldn't adjust to the increased aggression when the stable gameplan wasn't working.

I think the coaches desire that to be honest.

Easily the best backhand play I have ever seen Lee Sang Su display in his career. Not even controversial.

I hear you, but I do think Miwa even aging naturally can do well enough at a younger age. It's not like Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu were aging unnaturally when they were competitive at younger ages.

Exactly - but this will not be her level in 3 months, but I don't think 3 months will be enough. But Hayata is the very specific problem, and these losses take a psychological toll over time. If someone else manages to beat Hayata, then Miwa has a chance. But Kihara is not chopped liver either.

Since you are a strong guy, a lot of stuff in table tennis responds positively to grip adjustments and practice. What you are saying makes perfect sense to me.

Carpal tunnel sometimes has sugar/carbohydrates consumption causes. Just be careful you aren't overdoing them as a source of fuel. Good strength training can fix just about anything that isn't congenital (and sometimes mitigates stuff that is). Just make sure you have figured out the cause if...

Miwa comes out very nervous. Will it make her more relaxed or is it going to stay this way lol?

Aruna's last match against Groth was similarly ugly - Groth has a very Timo Boll copycat style that on some days rivals Boll, never easy to deal with. Omar knew he had to rep Africa properly, and since he has beaten Truls, why not Kallberg? Harimoto fought really hard, I thought it was not...

You may have missed the Asian Cup last year then to be honest.

With Rakza Z EH, it might be bias, but I am doing things on my backhand I don't remember doing with quite the same confidence with GT. But since the blade is also different, I will get a more objective comp this weekend.

There are many ways to get there, but as in all things, it is best to do whatever you are learning at a pace that lets you develop strength and recover and get the sequencing right, and then build it up over time. Taking light weights and doing wrist flexibility exercises with flexion and...

Pretty good on a Szocs Signature 1. I just removed it, going to put on Golden Tango and try that this weekend and then I will be able to do a more objective comparison of both. I think out of the packet, GT seems stickier for sure. Maybe I will go with GT on forehand and Rakza Z EH on...

Gauzy has the ultimate advantage - being a Frenchman, he relieves Lebrun of his coach in these tour matches. And that is one of the biggest things that affects a junior - lack of strategic guidance.
