  2. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

  3. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    Cool 3-0!:oops:
  4. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    Because Ruwen Filus won't be there in Frankfurt....;)
  5. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    Indeed, it can be a strong weapon for left-handers. (I am also a lefty;)....) I'm still regularly annoyed by players at this level who don't see the opportunity to play in parallel.
  6. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    Because I see it happening so little. Although there is improvement on it in the last year by a few players. Nay, quite right what you say. I just want to point out that people practise diagonal training ad infinitum but forget that it's better to play parallel and practise it frequently...
  7. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    Harimoto lost the match at 12/12 in the fourth set. Then he made a tactical error by first giving a very good diagonal serve (he almost surprised Aruna) only to top spin back diagonally. Had he opted for a parallel/straight shot here the match could have gone to him. If there were statistics, I...
  8. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    It's getting monotonous! :LOL:
  9. WTT 2024 vs 2025

    And Vincent Purkart there for the dry humour...:LOL:
  10. WTT 2024 vs 2025

    It's all becoming a bit (too) much for me. I deliberately don't follow it (anymore) every week. The whole WTT circus with their points system makes no sense and they should (to protect the players) revise it back. As for the money, if betting agencies start to discover table tennis, there will...

    A politician?:D
  12. This why I don't complain illegal serves

    That you are not allowed to hide the ball with your hand/arm/body is already in the rules. That you are not allowed to serve when standing next to the table is not included in the rules of the game. By forbidding this and your shoulders must be parallel to the baseline, you pretty much rule out...
  13. This why I don't complain illegal serves

    They (the players) who usually stand with both shoulders parallel to their baseline (and certainly not next to their table) usually have/give legal services. How difficult can it be to implement this rule.
  14. This why I don't complain illegal serves

    The opponent will probably be able to see more than what is shown here. The camera is way too high here. But...if you look at where LSD stands at the table you can 100% assume that the ball is hit above the field of play and not behind the baseline. In doing so, he is clearly reducing the field...
  15. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    LSD's timing with his BH for the 10th point in game 7 was perfect. He could have taken that one even earlier but didn't.
  16. Professional matches should be televised as fights

    I wrote it in another topic some time ago, table tennis should be brought like Darts in the UK and now in other Western European countries. I'm a fan!
  17. Thick sponge or thin sponge for people starting out?

    In the past, people always clearly left with thinner sponges, usually 1.8 To learn your basic strokes, that's fine. After a (long) period of fortitude, it was usually switched to 2.0 or 2.2 mousse. If you learn loopings/topspin with 1.8, I think you are also going to learn them more easily with...
  18. Banish long pips

    * thats true! ** Thanks to the material. 95% chance that if you give him a simple inverter the set positions could be just the opposite.
  19. WTT Champions Macao 2024, 9/9-15

    LSD is therefore the more complete player than WCQ.
