  1. Who has the world's best backhand?

    klampar's BH technique close to the table is very similar to what players are doing today. wrist & forearm snap with spin focus
  2. Who has the world's best backhand?

    I would say ovtcharov by far. The chinese are more consistent but in terms of raw talent dima is the best BH ever hands down . If only he could land that killer BH against ma long in the wtttc 2014 when he was up 10-9 in the first LGL also stated that ZJK and ML could only "shake their heads...
  3. Matthew Syed Admits Cheating!

    I would understand it if he hated for any reason the opponent. So far I have acknowledged every single edge or net clip but in a tight match against a player I hate for his behavior I would probably try to cheat especially if the point is somehow debatable or if only me has spotted the incident...
  4. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    Yes that was my point that FB gave a good fight, FB winning against ML would be a big surprise, the last time he won against ma long was in 2013 warmup trials and another win in the chinese championship in 2012 which are not prestigious events
  5. Players at WTTC 2017

    YEah so its official kalinikos wont play also. He is stepping aside from the GNT to give sgouropoulos room to shine
  6. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    good to see FB fighting 4-3 against the captain is a big deal. I wonder if ML was in top condition
  7. Lin Gaoyan's Style and the Poly Era

    WLQ has very large motion after the stroke is made which is bad for recovery, the modern era players rarely do that, perhaps ma long sometimes when it is necessary
  8. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    She is no doubt. I just dont like one dimensional play and as I said keeping the ball on the table is also a way to win no matter how good your opponent is
  9. Astounding discovery

    Yes all accurate points u made there, tackiness does not mean much if your attack is not near the endline or penetrating enough to force a weak block or a mistake so it boils down to "technique comes first" . Eventually one has to find what suits him the most instead of choosing a rubber based...
  10. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    you dont win 3 chinese by luck and even against ding ning hirano had 7 unforced errors and 7 winners in the last set. ding ning 1 winner 1 unforced error. so it was all dominated by hirano, she created opportunitities ding ning didnt create almost nothing. If hirano polishes her game the she...
  11. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    On london final LXX would have won anyway, that match was total domination. The serve of ding ning is illegal but LXX is used to it (no unfair advantage there) so the umpire should not interfere. What annoys me is her playstyle, she just puts the ball back no creativity no fantasy nothing...

    ehmm nittaku balls are if not the best, then definitely one of the best
  13. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    Ding ning seems really humble and down to earth, I never thought she would be such a sore loser. The reflections from other players seem more honest to oneself. The ball plays definitely a role yes but both players are playing with it . And trully great players always adapted instead of...
  14. Astounding discovery

    Yes you are doing it consiously thats really good for you :) I see lots of players who fail to understand that proper equipment magnifies your potential in an "analogical manner" (I believe one cannot accurately measure it but I will give it a try below) and they change equipment after some...
  15. Table Tennis University - Coach Tao Li

    tao li is crap. everybody go and pay coach emraTHICK or whatever his name is to learn some serious chinese shaolin secrets. Even wu tang clan showed respect. some real gangsta shit right there.
  16. Lin Gaoyan's Style and the Poly Era

    I dont need to :) I know exactly what Im doing technique wise especially in my arm/forearm/wrist. when I did recorded myself ages ago was to fix lazy footwork habit and bad posture/upright stance...which I already knew but I had to confirm and see out of curiosity mostly how I look like when I play
  17. Lin Gaoyan's Style and the Poly Era

    I dont think he is less fast than before he is 2 years younger than ZJK & ML and I guess his choice to play more FH is because he does not have the confidence to play aggressively with the BH. In my eyes he proved he can do it, stay close to the table and play bh without pivoting but whenever he...
  18. Lin Gaoyan's Style and the Poly Era

    correct me if im wrong but cocking the wrist isnt that droping move he does by relaxing it when he finishes his backswing?
  19. Astounding discovery

    there is no best rubber/blade but the combo that suits your game the best. people especially on the net worry too much about equipment whereas they should worry more about their technique, shot selection, tactics,serves/receives and so on. TT companies like any other company will lie inyourface...
  20. Lin Gaoyan's Style and the Poly Era

    Well we dont know that, XX has been figured out inside the CNT because of his poor BH , his chosing to pivot for a FH etc. He would definitely gain more points since he is a more delicate player but LGY has the whole package, he isnt just a powerplayer like FZD he also has finesse on his stroke...
