Looks like Lin Yun Ju has the whole Chinese Taipei team inspired for a chance at a medal next year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81rroyE6UP4

He is playing many more spin oriented forehands. Much better overall approach to the ball. On one serve return (3-7 in game 6), he went for his old forehand, missed long and was annoyed. Kurashima had to calm him down. He needs to forget that forehand. Even on third ball he hit one down the...

I didn't watch the prior point because of bandwidth issues at the time but I guess it was probably just something he needed to address immediately.

That German National Team practice session is over. Now Harimoto gets to play another lefty with a vicious forehand and a slightly more spinny backhand.

Is Filus really a defender? What is the point in being a defender if you can't even bring back the first attack consistently?

Depends in what you mean. Until this year, she was a foreigner by ITTF rules and was only Olympics eligible. Now she is eligible for all events and will be featured more across the tour. She is also only about 26 and a lefty, so she doesn't have to do anything special. But she has been the...

It puts into context who she played against. Otherwise, we would be puzzled by Wu Jiaji of the Dominican Republic beating Kanak Jha of the US despite being 648 ranked playing 33 ranked. Please, don't let your behavior stop us from making reasonable points using facts.

So I tested the Carbonado today and I liked it. Unforltunately, I didn't like the handle. Too thick. But it felt like a better Butterfly ALC blade. So I suspect if I manage to sand or change the handles, I might revisit at some point in the future. But for right now, I will be using the...

I didn't remember a slapping counter. There was more forearm rotation even on counters that I remember used to be flat. But.maybe I am just biased. I agree with you largely by the way.

I think his forehand vs Zhu Linfeng showed a marked improvement. He is beginning to spin rather than drive more consistently and this helps his recovery. Keeping the elbow close and using his back for stability.

Another reminder that good forehands are not the exclusive province of Asians.

I understand what you mean. Unfortunately, there is always a winner and a loser. I prefer this to the alternative.

There was a very good and obvious reason for doing so. Abe had just smashed 3 times and lost the point and was deflated. It was a good time to take a time out to make sure she didn't lose heart but the coach didn't. Losing the next two points didn't help.

The good thing about making crazy predictions is that no one takes you seriously until they come true. Then you sound like a Nostradamus.

Got the Hadraw VK today. Definitely Koto. Definitely also designed to play kinda close to the Korbel but since it is Koto, it has a slightly lower arc and crisper sound and to be honest, given how spin oriented my game is, it doesn't hurt. My racket case now is the Korbel and the Hadraw. Had...

Zhu Yuling already has the Asian Cup as her continental result.

I transfer rubbers across blades.so I can see the differences even when I don't measure them explicity. The Korbel head size is slightly larger like the Joola Viking or Mazunov.

That's a good win. The kid was the only.guy who consistently controlled Quadri's attacks. If not for the home crowd, Quadri would have lost in my mind for sure.
