The second time is indefensible...

Again this might sound mean but I don't mean it to be - it is just some harsh realities that if you accept will be helpful in the long run to prevent frustration and improve. What we saw in your recent video, no you cannot put the ball on the table with any consistency at all. You couldn't...

There is a good chance that Levenko would have handled Nie's forehand easily if he wasn't scared of and disoriented from the backhand rubber. It is all related. You can't look at these things separately.

Not telling you who to like or dislike or pretending that some people aren't shittier than others, but there can often be a big contrast between a players public image and how they really are behind the scenes. Obviously most of the public won't know this information but I guess my point is that...

My timeline may be wrong then, but if not before then shortly after the Cybershape came out he had a version with many more sides/edges.

Chulong's rubber has some special sauce and interestingly he has had a Cybershape style custom blade since before the Cybershape was released. edit: wrong on the second part probably

This guy is old and grouchy. Ignore him. We appreciate your analysis and your point about Harimoto stepping off the table to play more aggressive counterlooping rallies rather than the usual close-table safer blocking is realized by some. Unfortunately this thread also serves as a reminder of...

Oh yeah I'm aware you don't use that ranking system. Basically it means, you would be a very advanced player if you are on the HK U17 team. Glayzer was released in 2023 so it couldn't have been 5-6 years ago that you used it? Butterfly products are made in the same factory as Nittaku products...

I am surprised that an HK U17 team member is using Glayzer. I would estimate to be on the HK U17 boys (?) team you would be the equivalent of USATT 2400 level at the minimum. You don't find Glayzer too powerless?

Swallowing one's pride is hard for those who think they know it all, I find that these types are the ones who always get stuck in their table tennis progress, so checks out

Convenient cop out while you furiously source-check Gwen about the Nadal-Federer head to head.

Looks like Gwen or ChatGPT failed him just as hard as it did when it told him that a 2000 USATT player has a 5-10% chance of beating a 2400 USATT player in a match. Nadal - Federer head to head prior to 2008: 8-6 in favor of Nadal (dominant winning record for Federer, according to...

Just like Ma Long had separated himself head and shoulders as the leader of the CNT by 2010-2011!

You sure post a lot of threads reviewing and asking for information about the performance of various rubbers and blades, for someone who is just doing it purely for fun and not trying to make conclusions about the performance of those equipment. All these stories of beating or nearly beating...

I don't think any of us did haha. And maybe I am giving too much credit if there is some history of TBH Harimoto hating that I'm unaware of, but it seems like he just genuinely is unable to comprehend table tennis or understand the basics of competitive matchplay. Maybe this shouldn't be a...

I mostly agree, and while a lot depends on your definition of suboptimal technique or style, the plastic ball has created a more narrow definition of what "proper" technique is. And the work required or adaptation needed to make "suboptimal" styles and technique work at a higher amateur level is...

Because I don't need input from people like you when I get it from top coaches and players:ROFLMAO: You're welcome for the advice I gave you by the way. You probably won't take it, but I look forward to the next video of your useless counterlooping drill which you're convinced will get you to 2100.

LOL

Also @TensorBackhand - any response to this?

You can't read so I'll say it as simply as I can in the chance that you're actually trying to understand: Harimoto's strategy adjustment caused him to be better on that day No strategy in table tennis is "sustainable" because it is a game of constant adjustments especially match to match WCQ...
