https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/matthew-syed.13941/ Every time someone repeats this opinion, I show this video. Kong Linghui at his awesome best yes. But Matt Syed was WR in top50 and one of the top defenders of the period. Notice how close to the ball was Syed yet the ball either...

@Gozo Aruna , thanks for the links. Thank goodness also for slow motion replay. I found the footwork highlighted in the following final point fascinating as I did not notice it on the original camera angle. Also listen to the crowd chanting Fan's name at the end. It's like the end of a football...

I think every player who is >70years would need to apply for a therapeutic exemption :rolleyes:

Seriously, I'm very envious of your natural ability to easily pick up this computer software stuff.

Agreed. Betterplay.ai plus OpenShot is fine for us tt players. The combination is particularly useful for editing local league matches. Be aware that, basically, Betterplay.ai can't be used for matches recorded at tournaments. It gets confused by the audio from the pinging and ponging from all...

Either: 1. Treat each match as a learning experience and deal with it or 2. Don't play with him

Their form hasn't changed. It's the rubber that has given them the advantage in their matches ;)

Come on Sir, be patient. When you think about Butterfly’s top rubbers, it's easy to overlook the intricate process that brings them to life. It all starts with the selection of the finest rubbers from virginal trees found only in the depths of the Malaysian jungle. Then the sponges are designed...

For reference, view the Yoshimuro v Nie match. Conclusion: we all need to practise the long push.

Umpires used to simply rub a ball across the surface if there were any suspicions. Big secret. Don't tell anyone.......it was mostly (98%) for show. That is, to demonstrate that were checking :rolleyes:

Good story.

That first game was such a contrast to the rest of the match.

Other than manually spinning the ball, how does the factory check the balls for size and roundness? Do they pass the balls through a ring or tube or something else?

Tense the core when playing the stroke. This is one of those situations where shadow practice is really useful. Timo Boll did a video on this a few years ago

You guys are not being fair to the rule makers. It is very difficult devising serve rules that are fit for purpose. It takes time. The first writing of the rule was only 120years (or so) ago. Definitely too short a period to get it right.

"using Reconstituted Oak wood" What is meant by reconstituted?

Yasaka Masamune as used by Satoshi Aida. Beautiful feeling. However, the handling is a challenge because of it's non-standard shape dimensions. I use mine regularly in practice but never in competition. I am actually thinking of cutting back the width to more mirror the shape of my Darker...

"It’s not the best TT I’ve ever played but today was my day with a bit of luck. Where I excelled today was mentally and tactically. I was also quite fit. Playing 26 competitive games total and not feeling tired" You've got to be joking! Winning all those 5 setters was a fantastic achievement...
