Anticipation and recovery are two distinct and important elements of getting to a ball. The fact that the original complaint from @Tyce spoke about recovery but the point was really about anticipation is the disconnect. Many people recover fine but fail to anticipate where the ball is going...

You mean a doubles spot is knocking someone out pf the tournament? The players are not the same strength, but the principle of taking away opportunities is the same as neither would playing in the position they do if it was purely an issue of merit. Botha's parents are pretty much funding the...

So looking at a similar situation where Mudit has his family funding a significant amount of Indian TT. How do you perceive the players will get opportunity if there is no funding in the first place?

A small price to pay for table tennis funding lol. The risk is how far it can go, but for now, it is manageable lol.

Adapting the sport to the capabilities of different audiences is part of commercial viability. I think that this is one of the things that hurts table tennis, we have compromised its appeal to many people by not remaining connected to the general population and from there finding the right balance.

The unstated problem in all table tennis complaints about many things related to performance... the other player jus reads the game faster than you do, it might not be about the pips etc....

Currently being streamed on the Ma Long Fan Made Channel... ML and XX are a team in MD...

This looks like a very clear post stating the issue of contention.

Seems a lot is going on here, but you all seem to have it under control. I dont boost so I dont understand the nuances of what is going on but I suspect that people think that other are acting in bad faith and I see no evidence of that here so far and no need for anyone to ignore anyone (though...

Had my first lesson with a coach today - he is the brother of a popular youtube coach. He coaches a lot of the stronger juniors in our area and hitting with him, the main benefit is that he gives you his quality, which you might not get from a say 2600+ coach who will mostly give you his...

You look slimmer but age seems to have invisibly done a number on you. Would never have thought Josh would get you so easily even if you were in not peak form. He didn't even make that many mistakes returning your serves or blocking your loops.

Kanak Jha was suspended for missing hia tests. So there is some testing for sure, the details are the key.

People who take PEDs, with a few endurance exceptions, don't become immediately better at whatever they do. That's part of the reason biological passports are used in testing, to ensure that people aren't competing with changed biological profiles recovering from the influence of drugs that...

I agree steroids are not just about lifting weights. However taking risks is not something always rewarded either unless competence and performance matches execution. That's why the focus has largely been on training and recovery, in part because the enhanced performance usually doesn't just...

I know more willingness to take risks is a benefit of testosterone. What it means in terms of seeing a ball better, I don't know. Maybe increased blood flow? I guess ultimately the context and framing matters as well as the mechanism. Sometimes it is hard to separate the feeling of what...

Still struggling to use my forehand fush with confidence. I have been pushing with the backhand for so long I don't know how to act differently. But maybe not... I am working on playing out of a more neutral grip with the racket almost parallel to my forearm and doing elbow-driven strokes...

Bump. An ancient thread but I didn't feel the need to open a new one. Since this came up during the US Smash, I searched for threads on the topic. With all the new peptides, some of which are already banned, I am wondering whether the athletic performance lines might get blurred. Should...

It's only because you didn't use a teleprompter or just not put yourself on screen while talking about the rubber. He would have been none-the-wiser in either scenario.
