  1. WTT Champions Japan 2025 - 7-11 Aug 2025

    I hope you quote TTD users to 5ch to complete the absurdity of the practice.
  2. Prithika Pavade signs long-term sponsorship deal with GEWO

    She is probably the biggest female talent in France and one of the top talents in Europe and just turned 20 and has been ranked top 20 in the world. What caliber of talent do you want signed looking at the European women? A lot comes down to the deal but there are no female players that are...
  3. WTT Champions Japan 2025 - 7-11 Aug 2025

    So in other words, 5ch and tieba are still gospel but they might not be gospel because Japanese players can be hard for 5ch users to understand because Japanese language can be convoluted?
  4. WTT Champions Japan 2025 - 7-11 Aug 2025

    I thought 5ch users and tieba users were gospel - why the qualification?
  5. Harimoto: "It's presumptuous to call it a rivalry." (#1135)

    Outside of China, she has pretty much achieved what all the dumber and smarter people have achieved. I think she will accept that problem.
  6. Harimoto: "It's presumptuous to call it a rivalry." (#1135)

    The much maligned Ito who had no clue what she was doing when having no coach and then using her mother and who was crazy enough to tout her achievements as evidence of her status? Ito?
  7. Why did Honoka and Hitomi break up their WD pair?

    The T-league schedule intersects with WTT but her teammates Odo and Yokoi were able to play internationally and she didn't. There might be a straightforward explanation but doesn't that give you some pause? Obviously she will meet the ranking demands. But being limited to having to do it...
  8. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    I wonder if Sato and Hashimoto are barred from teaming up by their new club configurations and alliances and wherher they would consider it to qualify for doubles in LA. They are still the most exciting doubles team in the world and one of the best though to be honest, when/if they pair, China...
  9. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    Honoka has no major threats until Miwa. Good luck to her.
  10. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    You mean Hugo becomes Caroline and plays in women's singles. That would be more interesting.
  11. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    In table tennis, the table size is somewhat of an equalizer. But they were well past their primes already so it is less about competing and more about achieving personal goals I suspect.
  12. Dignics 80 best rubber ever? Vs Ternergy 05

    It's all relative but D80 is hardly a low throw rubber, only compared to like D05 and T05 or stuff like that. And if you are someone who wants to focus more on speed over spin vs D05, then D80 is your rubber. But someone who wants to play spinny power topspins and not score through hitting...
  13. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    I really can't believe Ma Long retired after China Smash. He probably was convinced by Dima getting close in their last match lol. But if he ever wants to pull a comeback from retirement like Jordan, he will get the world excited.
  14. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    I will enjoy that when Ma Long or FZD actually play again. Absent that, it is socialism for the wealthy again....
  15. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    Yeah but who are the Olympic champions? Or is that a Teams designation as well?
  16. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    There are already 4 Japanese - one may have to pull out for Honoka to get in though there are five Chinese so she should be there....
  17. WTT Contender Buenos Aires 2025 Jul 22-27

    I know what he means, but she reliably (not accidentally) loses to her teammates. It would be interesting to see a Zhu and Hashimoto rematch as the Zhu that won the US Smash was an upgrade in my eyes. Just presenting the view that disagrees, you may agree with him but I cannot make a her a...
  18. Dignics 80 best rubber ever? Vs Ternergy 05

    The trajectory/speed. I haven't tried Tenergy 19 but that might be the comparison. A rubber that sends the ball through the table safely. By comparison, Dignics 05 seems slow (arcs higher) and doesn't block as well. With 80, passive blocks are safe and controllable while 05 needs more of a...
  19. WTT Contender Buenos Aires 2025 Jul 22-27

    You can't be #2 in your country when you can't beat at least 3 players in your country (Miwa, Odo, Mima).
  20. Chinese Super League 2025

    Wang Chuqin plays doubles and ducks Lin Shidong who struggles to beat Yuang Houzeng. Great look... Hopefully theee is a good explanation because he might have cost his team the match. Where are Lin Yun Ju and Liang...
