Feng Hsin has a great day, beating Meng and Dima while Kao is in China for WTT. Also performing well was Luka, who beat Cheng Chi Yuan, who likely came in to sub for Kao.

I don't know much about you or your game or what your constraints are. But the Bernadette Szocs Signature 1 is to me a much better blade.

I played with it for a while, broke two of them in an accident that I have had with other blades which didn't break. I had some decent results with it but also lacks something compared to more solid blades but that is my opinion, it is not everyone else's.

Stratus Powerwood is an overrated blade. Very cheap construction and a breakable neck. I prefer something more solid but to each his own.

So if I get 1 out of 3 (1 victory, 2 losses) playing Ovtcharov, Timo and Chuang, it is different from going 1 out of 3 playing Tony, NextLevel and Sabonis in what way?

Does win rate adjust for quality of opposition?

You pointed out that Pitchford was playing worse as a way of saying that the league did not have top talent. His declining performance was a mix of personal reasons, WTT ranking participation etc. but even with the declining performance, there were wins over players like Dima in there. I was...

Yes, but is young violence high level table tennis?. Which top league would you argue represents the young violence? The French Pro A which is almost exclusively the Lebruns for young world class talent? Or you think Quadri and Freitas who lead the top teams also qualify? The German...

Playing for a country like France makes it harder, there are lots of good French players who will never get the professional investment to be top 100 players. But Damien is not the #1 on his team in MLTT, Lebesson is, and is Lebession a sub sub topper because he no longer plays for France and is...

I opened this thread in part because there wasn't a dedicated thread and I like watching the matches. Just like the Bundesliga thread, I will pop in with matches, The main argument was someone (Tony, pilgrim. joshuamak10) saying that the MLTT is mostly for players past their prime because Kou...

Everyone can decide whether what you said werre "facts" or pushing your own agenda to support your own activities to get players into the league. Calling a player like Pitchford washed up at 31 years old was plainly ridiculous no matter what stats were used to support it - it was much more...

Pitchford beats over the hill Quadri Aruna 3-1. Amazing form on display by Liam Pitchford. @Matt Hetherington , what did you do with his forehand lol? Juiced it with extra booster?

There are bored retirees creating mass of spam accounts to educate us on long pips etc. It could be worse lol.

Over the hill Liam Pitchford just destroyed over the hill Sun Wen (from the CSL) 3-0. https://www.youtube.com/live/9lDEn0sFgCk

I have friends here who I have played and met in person and have as an adult learner developed a huge interest in the sport. Been posting chatting and interacting here for over a decade now. Even met the Founder when he came to the US for the NA Teams tournament in 2017 or so when I was...

Curious as to why you spend so much time on equipment. Do you enjoy asking these questions?

That makes better sense, thanks. And since Xunyao Shi played the team event, it comes together.

The list is tentative and was probably filled in as a placeholder based on outdated information unless WMY intends to miss the WTTC for personal reasons.

Wang Manyu beat Kuai Man and Sun Yingsha at the more recent Asian Cup. She is in incredible shape.

To be fair, he might say he was injured. But regardless, it ruined the team's chances.
