  1. Question about boosters

    Maybe boost, you know, outside? Where the air moves about. Unless you live in London or Beijing, or Mexico City or LA, or any other major city. Then you are probably better off sniffing the booster inside than going for a walk in the park. Except indoor air quality is often even worse than...
  2. German Open 2019

    Some sick rallies in g4 though.
  3. German Open 2019

    Ito isn't sharp and too much quality from SYS. Will see if the TO changes anything but seems unlikely.
  4. German Open 2019

    Whereas Mima has a path to a semifinal rematch with CM, if she (Mima) maintains her form from last week. But before that we get a Batra v FTW rematch of the Commonwealth Games final. I think FTW takes it easily without the pressure of playing for SGP team. But you never know, will be fun to...

    My nominee. https://youtu.be/7DqvweTYTI0
  6. Music for Ishikawa to break CNT maid

    Prompted by zeio posting this ad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn27Hnu0kHE
  7. Possible reason on FZD not performing

    So he made changes without the guidance of the coaches, or against their wishes? That would be odd. The CNT coaches are, you know, pretty good.
  8. Swedish Open 2019

    SYS handled her loss a lot better than WMY.
  9. Swedish Open 2019

    So for all events still playing are 21 CNT, 5 JNT, 2 rest of the world. Total domination.
  10. Swedish Open 2019

    Everyone playing any event on the weekend is CNT or JNT except Dima and Gauzy.
  11. Etiquette question

    When I started playing one regular at the local club was an older Cambodian man. He liked to lob and got lots of edges and plenty of nets too. He would always say "Lucky me!" in the same joyful way you say is common in Japan. Kim stopped coming a few years ago but some of us still call those...
  12. Good blades with hinoki outer ply and composite material?

    Garaydia clone from Gambler $40 and you get a shirt thrown in. Deal is so sweet Iskandar Taib would buy two. I hit with one of these and it felt good. https://www.zeropong.com/composite-blades-sh-agg-c-46_94/gambler-fire-dragon-hinoki-with-free-shirt-p-414?zenid=cpullkilck75pc7p7f6ubd4b03
  13. Etiquette question

    @zeio thanks for reposting that LSW interview. I love when she says she "dropped all my burdens" halfway through the DN match. Best match coaching advice ever.
  14. Etiquette question

    The reflex apology is bad because sometimes you are halfway through saying sorry with your hand up and the opponent plays the ball back. So I learned to wait for the point to be over. I'll just put my hand up unless the net was truly an unreturnable dribbler, then I say sorry. More than...
  15. Breaking News - Mizutani Exposed for Cheating

    We can't help ourselves slobbering over this sort of thing. We have lived our entire lives in the society of the Spectacle. It's like the air, we don't see it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Society_of_the_Spectacle
  16. Question on stepping around

    I saw coaches practicing the backhand cross-step after hours at B75 camp in 2018. It was like an insane falkenberg. Pivot, fh cross-step, bh cross-step, pivot ..... I was tired just watching it.
  17. ITTF-ATTU Asian Table Tennis Championships 2019

    Yes he should. And open a chain of restaurants called Little Fatty's. He'd make bank.
  18. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    There are quite a few people in China. It would be surprising if all of them agreed with her.
  19. USA Adult Ranking Tournaments

    New director, new broom.
  20. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    This is more of an understatement than the name DecentLevel. After NL played his first five minutes of TT he was probably telling somebody what he learned in minutes three and four. You have always been coaching. Keep it up NL, your coaching skills are reaching a DecentLevel.
