What has Chen Meng won? It isn't about rating her highly but that she lacks major titles.

Chen Meng is probably my favorite lady player, no need to infer dislike from criticism.

So Sun Yingsha and Ding Ning know how to deal with pressure and Chen Meng and Wang Manyu don't? ;)

The innerfiber T5000 used to exist, it didn't solve all the problems you noted though. I still have a couple but I haven't tried them in a while. The problem with T5000 is the arc, for modern play you don't get spin on the ball so it places more limits on the shots you can play. At lower...

This is a great video. There is one similar video I remember, but this is better.

If you watch Ma Long in matches, especially when he is counterlooping cross court, it is very hard to say that Jang Woojin is exaggerating. I once told a friend that Ma Long uses more wrist than Timo Boll when looping. He thought I was joking but when he looked closely, he saw what I meant.

Yeah but in some countries that is not an option.

It is just logical, people are going to where there are clubs open that they can train. If I were in Europe and played professionally, I would likely be in Sweden as well. Who really wants to deal with all the barriers to practice? In some countries, top players are forced to hit with robots...

What would be the positives and negatives of wearing a cycling mask while playing table tennis?

Tennis also witnessed a change in and convergence of styles with the advent of synthetic strings. I don't think anyone is blaming that for lower interest in tennis, though I know a few people who wish tennis would go back to the good old serve and volley vs baseliner days. I have always felt...

I have been wondering how TT will be played when it gets back to normal. It's interesting that the TT demographic in America largely consists of people who are at risk for contracting this disease given their age profile. I personally have treated this disease largely in my head as a disease I...

What is the barrier to mass producing a therapy like this? Does the SarsCov1 survivor repeatedly have to donate via blood? Or is it so expensive that it will require massive capital investments and will thereafter be available only to the rich?

Yes. In fact, originally I considered switching to it on both sides. I decided to postpone that because it wasn't as obvious it was better on the backhand for me - in fact, it is quite possible that Tenergy 05 Hard is too much for me on the backhand but the rubber plays similarly enough to...

Have been testing Dignics 09C. It is about what I expected and it makes my forehand much more versatile and stable. The sponge is fast enough and you get the beauty of Chinese rubber on pushes and chops but it isn't as tacky and sticky though it has *some* stickiness. I suspect that price...

What makes you think they are impressive now? I am fairly sure he has been a strong player for a while now.

Lots of people starving for short pimples backhand instruction out there. They have added English subtitles to this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TgH05Ku5S0

Spend all the money and time you want to figure out Timo, don't worry you won't beat him. Same with Harimoto. It is important to place things in context. The analysis of opponents does explain aspects of Chinese dominance, but the skill level of the players is far more important. The best...

She looks pretty strong. But you are giving the CNT a head start when you post that kind of video... How old is she?

Schlager once said that the things that make great players great are not found in the textbooks. If you are looking for a textbook explanation of what makes a player great, you won't get an insightful answer.

Samsonov and Primorac have won World Cups as well. No one is writing off anything in the manner you are making out, everyone knows the World Cup is not the World Championship and is making that point. The World Cup is not as hard to win relatively speaking as the WTTC is and our statements are...
