Immediately the match got to 9‐9, I just said ah, the Chinese have the edge. At some point, I will turn off the TV when it gets to these two point scores vs the Chinese. Then pay for it by missing the Hayata-Wang endings lol.

Harimoto... does his backhand suck now lol?

It is all based on this idea that talent means your results must always be going upwards or you are a failure in realizing it. As a famous consultant once wrote, "What got you here won't get you there!"

Majin Buu has proven me wrong at every stage. I still think he is going to lose this but his run has been impressive.

Use a North American location in the VPN. No one here owns WTT rights.

Yes, they all play largely the same style. And one can see clearly that Harimoto is transitioning t ok that style. If it is a disaster, so be it, like I said, he is trying to build out skills at a world class level without stopping tournament play. Inevitably it will start as a disaster but...

On player styles I beg to differ, they are actually pretty uniform, but that is true for modern attackers in general. Obviously players have different strengths and weaknesses but the CNT largely all play the same style. Harimoto is very distinct as a player in trying to take the ball...

Possibly, but you are not in the position to determine the need or the details or assess the realistic nature of the proposition, since you don't have a deep understanding of his style (in fact, not even him fully does). The guy who is is playing the matches and training everyday, and of...

Coming to Teams this year?

You do realize that you are describing the #4 ranked player in the world, yes? The best non-Chinese player by some distance? Find some balance to reflect that you are describing the #4 ranked player in the world, and then we can have a respectful conversation about this.

Thanks for admitting the problem. Do you seriously agree with this?

"Everyone" on some level believes this is true, and no, it isn't primarily physiological, unless physiological is a very complex term which combines reaction time, anticipation, male playing power, and spin variation. But Harimoto has made it work far beyond what people thought was possible...

My favorite part was that he realized he had to use a new serve when things got tight. I hope this kind of innovation will continue because otherwise, you get too predictable in the tight moments. I am sure the analytics teams are already doing their work lol!

Mercilessly.

His expression has to be. Felix played as flawless a match as I can remember. The variation was just perfect and the speed and composure - clearly a problem and it is a nice to see his level translating directly to this matchup.

Oh well, he surived Yoshiyama. But Lebrun/Shidong? I guess I can be wrong about the blanking. But I think not...

Again, you are writing like someone who has never played table tennis. Table tennis technical development is largely an evolutionary process, you build on the existing base, you cannot destroy an existing base especially when it has produced significant success. It is not a revolutionary...

I understand what you are trying to say, but that is not my main point and I don't think it is fair to disregard my main point even if you disagree with it "just for arguments sake". China is doing just about everything it can to maintain its edge. They try to eliminate all the risk, they...

And the fact that you are pairing two lefties doesn't interfere with your thought process?

No problem, just remember as a late learner, the simplest way to improve is to learn to add spin to the ball, it is much more important that hitting the ball with power, and when learned, an easier style to play even if not as effective as it used to be. Once you master spin timing, then you...
