  1. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    An interview that explains the logic behind the approach in Sweden. https://youtu.be/bfN2JWifLCY While there are similarly argued and to some extent more detailed arguments from another researcher I have listened to, I think the length of this interview and the insider status of the...
  2. Zhang Jike comes out of retirement for 1 match today! With a twist!

  3. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    Most people are doing well it seems on Chloroquine and zinc combinations. Yet in the FDA driven world, there are zero trials. It makes me wonder whether the combo has something not going for it.
  4. Is it the end for fan made content of table tennis?

    Ittf waits until they think you have a big channel that they can make money off of before filing a strike. They just want your money.
  5. CLOSEST MATCH EVER! | TableTennisDaily Team | Ep 10

    Winning the doubles and then losing the match almost makes no sense... but reintegrating the Ringer into the line up was key and I guess struggling during a comeback can be inevitable.
  6. How to explain why somebody must be passive when exercising

    ContraDL, You are no longer swinging across your body. That is a massive improvement. You can't fix everything at the same time so even just that shows you have worked very hard. Even a high level player like a World Champion will have issues adjusting a technique. They may not be as obvious...
  7. How to explain why somebody must be passive when exercising

    Good work on improving the stroke. You may have to learn to activate the arm independent of the body a little to go further. Here is one video that gives one good way of doing it. https://youtu.be/hDupIHE-CO0
  8. Could my equipment be hampering my consistency?

    The thing is that learning to use equipment is like learning to play an instrument or mastering driving a car. The more you do it and the more you push yourself to the extremes doing it, the better you get at it. While a slower blade might help you in many ways, the most important thing is...

    Fan Zhendong can make many strong players look bad.
  10. Muhammad Usman vs Abdul Raheem - All Pakistan Master's Cup 2019

    Yeah. My friend back then used it to explain to me how bad the state of TT was in Pakistan. Such things are clearly not immutable. You just need someone to bring in the right level. Saudi Arabia is developing some really strong players. And for me anyone who plays in that top 200 strength or...
  11. Muhammad Usman vs Abdul Raheem - All Pakistan Master's Cup 2019

    I am fairly sure from memory it was Rameez. But I will try to confirm.
  12. Muhammad Usman vs Abdul Raheem - All Pakistan Master's Cup 2019

    The Pakistani #2 once came to train in the US and he was around 2200-2350. One of my very best friends is from Pakistan and said that Qureshi is their #1, 55 year old who kinda plays Seemiller but with his own take on it. It is just a remind that Chinese coaching hasn't permeated the whole...
  13. Ma Long and Liu Shiwen - Last World Singles Champions

    As an American, I selfishly need the Houston event to occur. I am really annoyed by this. The World Champs has a special history. Throwing it away to copy tennis is very short sighted.
  14. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    So better to just take zinc by itself? Part of the reason I am so curious is that a lot of people are really promoting Chloroquine in the popular media. Maybe one needs to take it with zinc early enough to avoid the trouble.
  15. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    Does hydroxychloroquine plus zinc prevent virus replication in the cell and cure semi-serious cases of Covid 19?
  16. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    A lot of data will come out in retrospect and we will get a better idea of what is really happening. The death tolls are large but all the projections of the experts so far have been wrong in just about every way, even on the effectiveness of social distancing, which seems to have made all...
  17. How to explain why somebody must be passive when exercising

    The first video to me looks a bit better than the second video. Figuring out where to hit the ball relative to your body will be part of this. So will learning to use spin to control the ball arc.
  18. How to explain why somebody must be passive when exercising

    What is really good is that you are getting your lower body involved and this is particularly hard for adult learners to do in a controlled fashion. As pingpongpaddy has pointed out, the structure of the use of the arm can be improved, and you can go in many directions there - he has given you...
  19. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    I don't think it is minimization but we need to be clear about what we are really doing here. Is there something extra that a lockdown is getting us over just social distancing, face masks and enhanced hygiene? If so what is it and how long should the lockdown last? The virus is already all...
