Not sure why someone would ask about equipment here instead of starting their own thread... I am trying to rebuild my forehand topspin. Tried one more stroke which a friend told me doesn't look the way I think it does. The video looked decent so I will continue to work on mastering that stroke.

She generally isn't a noisemaker. It is arguably one of her weaknesses and Ma Lin might try to change that. She is one of the most methodical players on the outside. Always shadowing after the point.

Team B was playing trials, so yes Team C. Liu Shiwen the obvious exception.

Hayata won phase 1 undefeated so she has likely beaten all the players she will play again in phase 2. Will be interesting.

Probably lack of transition drills.

DerEchte is going to improve if only because he is not used to facing this level of consistency. But the solutions are really that he needs to play more rally shots. Push a lot more too.

Well, I read the criteria. Not sure why a 2017 result counts but the other thing is not to be short sighted. Hayata did not have these results at the time of the selection.

You don't only play Chinese players at the WTTC. Sato does well against just about everyone other than the Chiness and she also puts pressure on the Chinese at specific times. It is sometimes short sighted to make it all about one tournament. The coaches also see these players more frequently...

Even without watching the video I can tell you 95% of what is happening. Scobie doo is good at returning serves. I also see that he is a lefty which is even weirder for DerEchte. DerEchte gets a lot of mileage out of people struggling with his serves. If you can return DerEchte's serves...

You are right.

That Yan An and Zhou Yu are out so early...

They either have a CNT specific tie breaker or use the international. The international is game scores with the highest ratio of games won to games lost being the tie breaker when all 3 matches are lined up and if game scores don't do it, use point scores. If this doesn't work then they have...

Omar Assar is also showing another level. It should not be underestimated.

Changing your racket can easily do it. The weight affects timing.

I usually play close and take the ball early. I cannot move well but I also can't bend too low so I am trying to find the right distance to compromise. But to take the ball early consistently, I need to touch the side of the ball to control spin at the table, I don't read spin well enough to...

Li Sun.

Getting the right separation from the ball enables you to judge the ball better. But so does experience judging spin, so sometimes, it is really just judging the ball better and not footwork.

It is great to hear it from a famous national Chinese coach.

My usual technique is to hit the ball with solid contact on the side and then push forward. I almost never racket edge unless I am too close to the table to let the ball kick.

This has to be one of the best videos ever translated. Thanks for performing a national treasure.
