The whole CNT does grip switches and I believe Dima does too. Not sure if Dima uses a flare but the whole CNT does.

HDK's win over LSW doesn't count?

All these 7 set games have backed up the schedule - we need a 4-0. Come on, Hurricane Hirano! Clear it up!

Sometimes, we act like technique and winning is what the sport is about. Her style is also easier on her body and height than the style that Samara plays. Who knows if she would still be playing today if she was a looper?

She got to where she was in life with all those things. That you only notice them when she loses and not when she wins and loses in a close match 3-4 is puzzling. Cheng is a better player, nothing wrong with losing to a better player. And Pota destroys many players with that style. It's a...

Is Sabine Winter injured? Her scores make no sense.

Whocarez, many good players would call your stroke a topspin stroke without losing sleep over it. You could learn to come over the top of the ball more and that just means making your paddle more parallel to the ground at the end of the backswing. Facing downwards is hook, facing upwards is...

I agree with the last sentence. The rest that i disagree with I am sure comes down to language. I think looping with topspin when you don't contact the back of the ball but rather the side creates some sidespin and is the dominant stroke in table tennis. I think this is where the discussion...

That's going to be tough one - Monteiro had a good chance to send it to a 5th match by beating Mizutani but lost a good lead to go down 11-13....

Your backhand is really good and can support a faster blade on offensive shots. Your forehand and short game, not so much. To use faster equipment, you have to trust your spin acceleration even on touch shots. When you do then faster equipment is usable. OTherwise, just stick to slower...

It's just a combination of things based on years of observing internet personalities. Just ignore me and continue with all the things you have noticed.

You lost to PRW??? Really????

The basic forehand loop has some sidespin, usually a hook for most players. What people call straight topspin is usually just less sidespin. Some people go out of their way to play fades as these look straighter unless you blade your body orientation more. In any case this is a problem that...

Wow.. Ma Long changed teams... He probably won't play anyways... Why so many line up changes? Did GAS interfere?

Someone said he uses both Tenergy and H3 depending on temperament. This is a good observation as he usually doesn't twiddle when using H3 on both sides. He is restricted to more spinny smashes when he doesn't.

I am geriatric these days, have lost more points than you did since you moved initially. Coming for the teams?

Want to try a Donic rubber with my new True Carbon. Thinking Baracuda but scared or might be too slow. Ant comments?

None of them had to play the China Games where the seamless ball was used except for LGY. I hear you that it shouldn't be a serious excuse. It was deuce in the 7th twice. That is as close to 50-50 as it gets.

Someone pointed out that he won the Japan Open where this same ball was used. To be fair, in this year, he has played WTTC and Asian Champs with Nittaku ball and the China games with Seamless balls. The changes in balls must not be fun for a player his level.
