I'll bring in some old school rallies eventually, but still sticking with the modern players for a bit - here is a great Jun Mizutani compilation, but I link within it to my favorite Mizutani point of all time:

One of the first points to show the aggressive rally potential of the plastic ball:

Beware of spreading rumors, @Shine will disapprove, even though policies like these were once commonly expressed by the CNT.

Thanks. Is that arbitrary or something inherent in the rubber production process?

They should just bring back the rubber.

Definitely interested, this is q classic blade that in a better world should still be made.

My theory is that the original target was Hugo Calderano. Though I dont think it was effective in that match.

Any chance of Boll for MLTT? He fits the washed up prescription that many here tout...

Since Doubles is now an Olympic event and Teams is no longer one, it makes common sense. Probably accelerated by Odo-Yoko not winning the WTTC.

I am only able to play once a week because my old club which prioritized badminton and pickleball wasn't making enough money from TT so it reallocated the TT space to badminton and pickleball and only does table tennis on weekend nights (with no promise as to how long that might last). A nice...

The youtube channel LMTLS which is run by an amateur who trains in Saarbrucken and often records/works with the pros/coaches there also mentioned it. It was where I first heard of it before coming over and seeing it here.

It's doubtful for sure, but it is a long time till 2028 and talent isn't the problem. The good thing about being low sometimes is that it can help you have no pride in facing hard facts. She is also a phenomenal doubles player. Let's see how it plays out.

No points for guessing #1...

I love that match and that point but I am not entirely sure that that was even the best rally in that match. But maybe it was - the smothering of power loops by ZJK and then turning the rally around was on-point!

No points for guessing #1 but #2 and #3 might mildly surprise...

I actually stopped serving the hook serve because of this lol. I used to load the ball up but when I got the ball back, it was so spinny I would struggle to attack. But more seriously, a lot depends on swing paths, racket angles and contact points. I find the people who struggle the most with...

D09c is tacky, not all hybrids are. You have changed, Gozo and it is a bit scary.

Gozo, I thought using tacky rubber was for people who suffered. What happened to you?

@Tony's Table Tennis, what are you doing?
