  1. Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires

    I agree but it is never all about you but also about your competition. There are 4 CNT level players in the draw, including himself, so performing at that level just puts him in the mix.
  2. Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires

    Cho Daesong is not being taken seriously and can cause some upsets.
  3. Women's World Cup

    I think if we did a round Robin with Wang Manyu, Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen, they would all have a good chance of winning depending on the day and the weather. Wang Manyu had come much further than I expected in such a short time. My point is that I am not sure Wang Manyu is clearly #3 and I am...
  4. Women's World Cup

    Wang Manyu is likely higher than you think. Chen Meng is likely lower than you think. Just my opinion tho.
  5. Women's World Cup

    They did not change the seed, people just didnt understand how the snake seed works in forming the draw. Even with the seeding, the only two people you are sure will not be on the same half of the draw are seeds 1 and 2 (as a pair) and seeds 3 and 4 ( as a pair). The rest is slightly more...

    Looks like someone realized that if Tiger Woods can do it, so can CNT....
  7. According to Butterfly Koki Niwa has used Tenergy 25.

    Yes. Most Japanese players have been sponsored by Butterfly or Nittaku at one point or another, especially as juniors. What's your problem specifically?
  8. European Championships 2018

    Yes. The fact that Pesotska had beaten Han Ying says something about her skills vs defence.
  9. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    For me, a lot of stuff has been going on outside the TT world. In TT, ever since my "retirement" for health reasons around April I believe, I have mostly not done anything TT related other than record a few matches while visiting a few tournaments. I do post on forums sometimes and watch high...
  10. Chinese National TT Championship 2018

    Liang Jingkun is also noted for lacking cleverness and has better technique and power than Fang Bo. In the end you are what you are. The presence of coaching at these events makes the cleverness less of a factor and technical differences become more critical.
  11. Fastarc G-1 (vs. Baracuda)

    I think it is because some JNT members use it. Also, the new ball has made that generation more playable across the board even Hexer and Genius.
  12. Chinese National TT Championship 2018

    Point of the year for me.
  13. Tibhar VS Unlimited Feedback

    MX-S lacks the kind of rebound you need if you are used to fishing and lobbing away from the table. I would be surprised if you liked being that active on every shot but if you do, stick with it. I also prefer the arc of Omega V Asia for the same style but the effort can be discouraging. That...
  14. Tibhar VS Unlimited Feedback

    Taking the ball earlier when you are taller is not easy unless you do the work to get into a low stance like a professional player. Most of us realistically lack that, and when you are over say 5 ft 8, it gets markedly harder. Taking the ball early as a looper is a short man's game. I find it...
  15. The ITTF World Tour current rankings

    I wouldn't go that far. He was injured during the WTTTC so he played below his level. But he is coming back and I would put him in the top 20, just needs more matches to get back into the top 10.
  16. Czech Open 2018

    I wouldn't be surprised if this was another Sebas incarnation.
  17. Czech Open 2018

    zeio must be in shock. Kasumi actually beat someone who beat Mima Ito - kishikawa syndrome in overdrive!
  18. His Name is Liam Pitchford

    Money can solve participation for the lower level players, but it doesn't for the top players who may cherry pick how often they play for personal reasons. It's part of the reason why the TT tour has participation requirements - money is important, but it isn't everything. See Roger Federer as...
