Equipment check: Butterfly is advertising Miwa as using Harimoto Super ALC plus Dignics 09c plus Dignics 05. And Tomo as using Harimoto ALC plus 2 Dignics 05. Thoughts?:unsure::unsure::unsure:

Breathing is very underestimated, it can take you from missing serves to returning them calmly.

It's a combination of practice and mindfulness and getting to a point where the result doesn't interfere too seriously with the abilities you have built in practice. But the game has a complexity that is mental and hard to appreciate without experiencing a lot of it. Learning to spin and...

Yeah, but don't underestimate the practice and the ease of misunderstanding the evolution that created it. Having ways to go with developing spin is entirely normal, a lot it happens at critical mass and then a switch gets flipped. Below that threshold, everyone is smashing your spin. Then...

WCQ channeling Ma Long with the backhand serve...

Sun Yingsha could be up 4-0 but she is tied 2-2. fighting is part of life lol!

UTT was over already, there were UTT players in Macao since their final is already over. Pitchford might also have been in UTT, as was Quadri. Or maybe I misunderstood and there is something else still going on.

What are their other commitments?

He still got a game.

Consider normalizing the ratings a bit as a normal distribution rather than as a linear score and see whether that makes a difference. I can't fully interpret the graphs without some description but I think they all have some value. The main issue with the first is that price might not be...

Do you play table tennis, or do you just argue with people who do? As in do you know how you can prevent her injury and maintain her playing level since you think it is a big issue? Do realize and remember that Hirano was almost out of the Olympics with a similar injury but you never heard a...

I do spend a few hours and since you read zeio, you probably do too but that just not as many as I do. My point is that if you don't spend the time, stop coming in as if you know something that the people who spend the time and who are obviously not idiots are overlooking. Like I said, if you...

She won the bronze like she was expected to. A better fight is for moral victories.

Okay. You came into this argument at the twenty-third hour and you have made your point. Thank you. You can go back and read Tony's post and decide whether any part of it required him to judge a player's career overall in all events.

More injured than Ito, sure, than Hirano, not so sure, and I don't live and train with them, but I will never hold hard work against anyone in table tennis since I know what it takes everyone to maintain their form and style is different despite what others may tell you, anyone who looks at...

I mean, look at the thread, it was started well before you ever enter the conversation, even if we give you the benefit of being a lurker, you would be a really proud person to think that you could come in on page 52, years after the thread started and think your arguments based on public...

In comparing a singles career, it is not relevant to look at doubles titles. But as I pointed out, I didn't agree with Tony either, so I don't want to get hung up on arguing over that. But my point is that there is enough out there for him to look at things and make a reasonable argument. And...

Haha. Nice you are a woman/lady, welcome to the forum. No, I don't mean that, I am a table tennis fanatic and fairly conversant with a lots of things about table tennis players, I meant if you trace their parental lineage, their parents/grandparents/grandgrandparents are Chinese. The...

A few points: Hayata has an Asian Champs gold on a year the CNT didn't participate. She also has an Adian Games silver and both an Olympics bronze and a WTTC bronze. So no, it is not all silver and bronze. There are other things at WTTC in doubles and mixed doubles but not the point. My point...

zeio's point is the 4-0 win wasn't simply a display of WYD's form, it was a draining match that tired WYD out and without Hirano tiring out WYD, Hayata's win would not have been possible.
