You need to be coached to use them from an early age to fully adjust to their advantages and disadvantages - same with Euro rubbers but the advantages of Euro rubbers show up more naturally in rally shots at the intermediate level. Pros tune a lot of their instincts to their equipment and...

That could be the best match of 2018 and will likely be the best match that doesn't have s CNT upset.

Amen. I was going to post I like p3 curl as the edge tape of my Viscaria.

How does he protect the ranking by not playing? Please share. The guy didn't want to give his all in a losing cause and expose tactics that will be valuable in more important matches.

Yeah. I was watching a recent French league match highlight reel with Liam and Mattenet. And both players were on but Liam was just punishing Mattenet. And I just realized that it was suicidal to be a backhand player vs Liam. I thought it was just that one match but Liam just showed it...

He is not their main weapon - they are fielding their best doubles team and leaving Robinot to play singles. So you can consider Lebesson their main weapon playing in the spots where he is most effective. It counts the same whether your main weapon is in doubles or singles as long as he wins...

We have it in the US too, I just did my submissions today. We have to watch some training videos and do some quizzes and get a background check. Otherwise, if your club lists you, the club will be USATT-sanctioned.

Koreans play chop too well.

Possibly. But what Pitchford also revealed was how susceptible Harimoto waa to certain patterns that Fan Zhendong executes in his sleep.

Let's just say you need to know something about who you are writing to when making arguments like this. And you don't know enough about people on the internet to discuss these issues in any detail. Your positions are not unreasonable, just don't waste time trying to defend them on this forum...

Anyone still think this kid will beat Fan Zhendong?

Yes, but some returners have typical problems with typical actions. I have an unreasonably bad problem with low tosses - just can't read the ball if it isn't forced to have vertical rebound off the paddle to generate side top.

The serving rules are so complicated that just about everyone has something borderline illegal or plainly illegal about their serves. Tossing with the fingers, tossing none vertically (watch Ma Long on many of his pendulums or ZJK on the reverse or Dima on the Tomahawk), tossing too low (watch...

Down goes Wong! Probably the best international victory by a US player ever? Someone may correct me later.

He is pretty much technically perfect. Mostly lacks power.

Wow, the overrated Wong Chun Ting loses from 10-7 up in the second game. Call Kanak butter cause he is on a roll.

Someone probably pointed this out already but Amy and Lily were both trained in America, Lily especially got a huge part of her training from various coaches and the highest level *coach* at the ICC during her critical years was not Chinese (in the same way Kanak Jha was largely developed by a...

Child-sex Predators do wander into just about any thing that allows them to be close to kids. Table tennis doesn't make it easy for them to get kids, but I wouldn't be surprised if some one of them would not come up with some scheme to find the right opportunities. That's why I am not that...

Not necessarily. But again remember that many people play with stuff that is not ideal for them. I read Schlager's response and his point was not to start players on equipment unsuitable for the looping game if the point was to make them loopers. It's hard to imagine that many people can't...
