  1. Feedback on my League games

    Everyone loops differently. You don't know exactly what the mental contact point of the attacker, the swing speed going forward at contact or the weight of the incoming ball which was attacked were. Just play your game. If you want to achieve something, test it in practice through...
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    The other major change I forgot is to emphasize body rotation when pulled to the forehand by a down the line ball. I sometimes get away with playing my forehand without weight transfer and I intend to make using weight transfer on almost all forehands a big focus.

    I have been getting fitter slowly again partly as a result of physical therapy. My goal right now is to lose about 10 pounds so my movement will be fluid. While staying low is important, I think that the injuries it would encourage in my knees are not worth it and it is better to be more...
  4. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    They came to Singapore to replay the Japanese Championships final... seriously? At least, Shinozuka should have a relative edge in the absence of coaches and over 5 games...
  5. Is a Butterfly Super ALC more controllable than an ALC blade?

    So maybe I am the only one with a very slightly different opinion but so be it. The Super ALC has a longer trajectory than ALC but it feels like ALC, sometimes it even gives me more feeling than ALC. I think the main goal was achieved - to develop a slightly faster blade that feels like you...
  6. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    It's inevitable for most rubbers without grip, once the opponent figures you out, you have nothing left to give really.
  7. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    It really sucks to travel across the world to play and lose to a teammate in round 1. I get the refusal to separate by association but WTT should try to do better.

    If your coach says he likes your game best when you play with certain equipment and you are not using that equipment, do you fire your coach or switch to the equipment he likes?
  9. Fantastic match! US Open

    MLTT players on tour...
  10. Feedback on my League games

    Please stop it already - just train adding more arc on your forehand when you need it by selecting a different swing trajectory/contact point and continue to use what you are currently using. You look like a serious player now and taking this back to equipment is a step backwards IMHO. And...
  11. Harimoto: "It's presumptuous to call it a rivalry." (#1135)

    Nah, they are just civil war kings (princes) and queens (princesses). The truth shall be revealed in Singapore!
  12. Harimoto: "It's presumptuous to call it a rivalry." (#1135)

    Timo Boll is one of the most injured athletes of all time. It is a pity he isn't from Hong Kong so zeio would have fixed all his ailments with early intervention and he would have gotten all the help he deserved. Ma Long was also a lack of knee surgery away from retirement 6-7 years ago. It...

    This play style is not going to get you to a good level. You need a style that is ready to rally even if the goal is to win early in the point. Your current style is fine.
  14. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Seemiller and Boggan used long pips? This is news to me...
  15. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    One to four, China. Five to eight, Japan.
  16. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Thanks. You made it easy to find. Some interesting round 1 matches though they might bore some...
  17. Fantastic match! US Open

    Got an email saying MLTT is going on CBS sports. Not entirely sure what it implies but sounds cool without then details.
  18. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    But those are much harder than pips to attack with.
  19. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Antipower is a Yasaka brand of anti-spin I believe...
  20. I TESTED MA LONG’S ACTUAL TABLE TENNIS BAT!

    Obviously he has character issues. But he knows his table tennis. And even as an EJ, I tend to find a lot of stuff about blades outside of rebound and vibration/sound to be extremely silly. But whatever makes money tends to find fools who believe it.
