Brushing the ball is the beginning of the concept. The more advanced concept is to swing through a path with a starting point, contact point and finishing position while turning the ball with varying degrees of contact depth to control speed and spin. This video illustrates the concept which...

I have found that with the kids I know, and one of them is 1400 roughly at the age of 8, it doesn't really matter what you give them as long as they learn proper technique, love the sport, and the blade isn't faster than a Timo Boll ALC.

He lost 4-3 to Zhou Qihao, who beat Xu Xin 4-1 and lost to Fan Zhendong 1-4. Table tennis is about fighting, and honestly, ML doesn't need to be 100% to be the favorite in 99% of the matches he plays. I wish he could get back to prime ML but I have accepted he is now in his ZJK period and even...

Everything I have heard says separation by association will e maintained for the Olympics.

IMO, send the world champs as long as they are not injured. The prep for the Olympics will allow them to come up with adequate solutions.

Moreover it is not just the wins but the losses in those matches you had opportunities. Why did CM lose the Asian Cup to ZYL at a time when everything pointed to CM being the better player? While LSW went supernova at the WTTC, Chen Meng usually beats LSW. Why did she falter at the last...

Zhu Yuling would not have made the team without this win so she needed it.

Fan once again defends the status quo.

Is it on YouTube?

The way these events work, the team is already selected. For someone to disrupt the team, he has to win the event and he will likely replace LJK or LGY. If any of the regulars wins the event, the team will likely not change.

They had the best score against likely the best team in the whole event. But they were only given one match and were eliminated in the first round.

Liang Jingkun and Chen Meng were shafted by the format.

Tibhar doesn't allow its players to not use its equipment. That was why players like Apolonia and Freitas went to Butterfly. Dima will need to use MX-P to play for Tibhar and I don't see that happening.

That would make sense though we need to know more to know that.

He will find someone to pay him, likely Butterfly but it is unlikely he will make whatever he made with Donic if so. He can't make the same from other companies and use Tenergy.

Surprised that Matsudaira beat Hou 3-0. Funny how TT works sometimes.

Hopefully there is video. He has one of the best forehands in the world. Very hard to cope with if you aren't strong vs chop and topspin.

XX would have at least gotten the team spot even without XD. Zhu Yuling was the frontrunner to make the 2020 team in some capacity and replace Li Xiaoxia as she was the reserve in 2016. Then she got the runner up in 2017 wttc and won the world Cup. From there to this is just amzonf5.

I don't understand why everyone thinks you need to play attacking table tennis on a consistent basis to play seriously. Bobrow's best game is his lobbing game.

Okay. I am saying that this is not uncommon with blocking short topspin serves. Popping the serve up is more commonly a result of underestimating the spin and not because the serve has an insane amount of spin. I remember one player I often lost to because I treated the first bounce of his...
