So who is he referring to at the top level when he makes these statements?

Once maybe. But those guys play too fast and almost everything you do happens in slow motion to them. If you fake them without power, their athleticism takes over. And they usually play at a distance where all they have to do is touch the ball and it will come back. Against their peers...

I don't mean rotate your body more. I mean try to get more spin on the ball. Spin = rotation.

A best of seven is a best of seven for a reason. WCQ won 67 points, Hugo 66. There is nothing about the match that says that we should credit the guy who took the lead as the better player. Fan Zhendong has come back from 0-3 vs Boll before. Duda also pushed WCQ. In any case your opinion is...

Exactly. In addition to the short game, Hugo showed serious improvements in his of the bounce counterloop and block. The last point of game 3 vs LSD was very eye opening, Hugo used to back off the table to counterloop all the time but he has clearly worked on holding the table to coubterloop...

With the forehand you can work on little things like trying to hit thr ball at different speeds and trying to add much more rotation. Rotation is what keeps the ball safe and is also what keeps you consistent when you swing harder. Ysually if you miss when you swing harder, your timing and...

It might be equipment apeed but the forehand is broadly reasonable, no matter what issues it has. The backhand is juat not using the arm the right way and it is because you are trying to copy something but still focusing in the wrong things. Go to 1:29. While that is a hit or small toppspin...

I looked at the backhand video. It is slightly better but you are still using too much arm to swing and hitting the ball way too far away from your body. Did you post the self multiball somewhere? You need to figure our where you intend to hit the ball and use an appropriate stroke to hit the...

Right now, I want to buy a HAL. Kicking myself for not getting it while it was on the market. I am not getting these new carbon blades.

The African dude who is repeatedly looping.

Haven't posted any practice video in forever - trying to make my backhand and forehand more compact, but more my forehand than my backhand in this video. They both have issues but I don't have a practice partner who can block at the practice speed I would like to do (and this particular...

I believe Hirano is usually eliminated by CNT players at the WTTC. She will be fine there.

Kid Harimoto had a shitty forehand but the power of that forehand was never in dispute especially on third ball if he had a loose ball. He just often couldn't rally with it.

Shaky is definitely the wrong word. The match was close yes, but the win was definitely not shaky, Hugo won many patterns that were not beyond him. It was at the very least a match between equals and arguably since Hugo won the last 3 games, he would have the advantage in the rematch as he...

Aren't these carbon blades? Hugo hates Carbon...

This is definitely possible. The counter to that is that he has made changes to his priorities and training with a huge focus on this. I guess time will tell.

Yeah and when he got to match point, he started playing his normal tempo again. It was hilarious even me seeing it live.

It's a great question. Maybe because Xiang Peng lost to Sora at the last event? Also I think they wanted a floater capable of beating Harimoto in an early round. Out of the list of such potential floaters, Xue Fei is probably as dangerous as it gets. But maybe they might still change the...

Obviously, not sure if Tony was being comedic, hence Takkyu's response.

The biggest benefit he has now is that he now longer really needs to play league to make money to live it seems. But the WTTC is next month and this is an arms race. Hugo has launched his first attack, so the next step is countermeasures. By the way, note that the French and Germans will also...
