Yeah, but Pistej admitted in an interview after the WTTC match, he was trying to provoke Tomokazu. I heard Ashanta complaining like 2 years ago, but I guess everybody gave it up, because the Kid is winning. To complain about shouting while you lost, does not make you look good, does it.

The first time I saw Michael Maze live, was Warsaw 2008 Pro Tour. I remember he was very unhappy loosing to Timo in the final, he even kicked the table back then ;) At that time I was just falling in love with table tennis and it was mesmerizing for me, to see how Michael was able to lift those...

Der if possible, send some pics after discovery, always interesting to see. Maybe next time you'll go more to the east of Europe ... ? : )

Funny, but I like to chooole too. The way I do it, sounds quite peculiar in polish (polish guys will know "c(i)uuuleee" ; ) Sort of like I am almost cursing at somebody. It became like one of the characteristics of my game in this cyclic tournament. Once I was a little quiet and my oponent felt...

A simple "like" would do too ... ; )

Heh ... you might be right @Zeio ... Freaking AI age ... Oh come on, WLQ does not even compare as he chooes only once, not three times ... Thanks for the video anyways, haven't seen him for a while. Such a firm forehand stroke ...

Sure, I'm with you. Definitely not a fan of loud screaming after every point. Just that Tomokazu is 15 so, you know - a kid basically ... I can't imagine him shouting like that, when he is 20 though ...

You have a good point, of course you can not prohibit players from expressing emotions, but too much is too much ... it's just not easy to judge by the umpire. I would justify Harimoto's yelling in the light of his young age ... I'm sure when he gets older it will diminish.

Yeah, there are different views on defenders ... new ball didn't help them for sure, but still i.e. the current European Women Champion is Li Qian a defender ... To be honest I was totally against them, primarily because of their quality in the beginning and "strange" bounce and feel. Now it...

Basically, to make banana flips and 3rd ball attacks a little less effective, so the rallies would be longer...

It was a long Holiday for you, wasn't it ... : ) So ... about a year ago I promised to make some videos on testing the higher net. Somehow I managed to procrastinate over this task till this very moment, so without it I don't really want to start a discussion, because in a way I know how it's...

There are some names are the titles themselves, like @Zeio, @Der_Echte ... probably few more ... : ) Gosh need to make myself clear ... of course I mentioned them because of the value they bring to the forum. Very informative and fun - the Goon Squad ; ) @Zeio's posts and insights from far Asia...

I guess more meaningful titles are those like "Verified Youtuber", Verified Coach, Equipment expert ... although the number of posts shows how much you are involved too, right : )

Yeah, seems the titles were given to me this way too and ... I gladly accepted them even though there was no exam involved ;) Gosh like those Rings of power ... omg ...

I'd say Korbel is about the same speed as TB ZLF ... say same speed class. Korbel feels softer and TB zlf has more definite touch. The only concern I have for Korbel would be it's tendency to distribute weight towards the head, although it might be my personal impression. Also the handle could...

Isn't it, that Butterfly has a new version of the LSW blade? Anyways I had a chance to test TB ZLF for a short time recently, with hard rubbers (Omega 7 and something on the other side). Despite the need for speed in today's world I liked it very much for it's immense feel. I played both limba...

You had the video ready for the occasion Zeio, didn't you ;) On a serious note I think, you had some interesting analysis of the business being involved here, not too long ago. I think the "lab" the ittf is talking about, is more about the format rather than the changes a hinted about. So...

If anybody from the marketing department of the main brands is reading this, they should calling and lobbying ittfz right now ... ;)

Here is a whole article: https://www.ittf.com/2018/12/20/strong-statements-intent-ittf-executive-committee-meeting/ Point #2 is interesting: "[...] T2 DIAMOND EVENTS The collaboration between the ITTF and T2APAC is also gathering steam with the ITTF Executive Committee approving world...

Sure, his name didn't start with Jan ... something ..? ; )
