    Sad that the Miyus are not playing together anymore edit: had a look at Men's draw. The big names aren't here, apart from Shinozuka/Tanigaki. N1 seeds are unknown outside Japan, and N2 its veteran Kenji Matsudaira + Miyakawa
  2. Reading Spin + Tactics

    No. I think it’s better to stay with a short stroke even if the ball isn’t that fast . To have same form and unified technique. Makes it simpler for you. Only if the ball is a “penalty” you try to kill it with a larger stroke. Else if it’s less quality try to go with a bit more spin or better...
  3. Reading Spin + Tactics

    its not the rubber fault, with what you're doing, with any rubber you can try, the result will not be much better or more consistent. its a technique issue. too big stroke. Make it as short as possible (by waiting more) for max control. with a short stroke and good spin, you can put at least the...
  4. Reading Spin + Tactics

    31:37 service is long. tbh im not even sure what spin is on the ball, probably not a lot of it, maybe slightly backspin. I think you're standing at the right distance to receive the serve. now the problem is you should grip more the ball to give YOUR spin, then it wouldn't much matter what...

    one spot for the winner of All-Japan, one spot for the trials winner and the rest with WR and if injury/forfeit among those, the coaches decide by themselves. don't trust, verify
  8. What rubber should i consider after playing with Rozena?

    It was on his blade. If I recall correctly it’s Tibhar Alexis Lebrun Carbon. I’m sure it can work for many players but I prefer my setup
  9. What rubber should i consider after playing with Rozena?

    One of my teammates bought Zyre03 for both FH and BH . I tried it for a few balls but didn’t like it, and I’m used to my setup so I don’t plan to change
  10. What rubber should i consider after playing with Rozena?

    Dignics . Or Zyre if you have the budget
  11. Why amateur players should avoid fast gear and where power really comes from in table tennis.

    I don’t think a super fast setup is recommended for beginners but if they are properly coached and play at least 3 times a week, they can get an OFF blade like inner carbon from the start and play with max rubbers like Rozena or T05 or Fastarc or K3 There is a merit playing with slower rubbers...

    No . Chire Koyama Congrats to Miwa. If it wasn’t obvious yet she’s the best Japanese player. Somehow Hayata could still get her until now but no more
  13. Video Footage Safe Thread

    I'm struggling a lot as well on 3rd ball. Whatever your level it will always be challenging and something you'll be working all your TT life. Its important to understand for 3rd ball attack and training that - serve is very important. If your serve is too low quality, you'll get difficult...
