Nah, your attitude shines through your posts, it's tiring to deal with the likes of you on the forum.

Yeah but singles and doubles are not the same. You can be a great doubles player but not as good at singles be because of the difference in shot timing, power and recovery. So his talent may not completely transfer to singles.

You sound a lot like a guy we used to ban here, just saying the opposite of what he would say. Are you a reverse-SJAN clone? Think reverse-Flash if you are familiar with the superhero and supervillain.

You should learn to control your topspin and open your racket a little bit - there isn't any need for more and more topspin to fight backspin once you reach an equilibrium against LP. You just open your racket and keep the same swing which is not necessarily a fake topspin, you just don't try...

They had better get married or this will go down South really fast. It may go down even if they are married but marriage at least protects someone lol...

You can't do much better than Eugene Wang as a coach, regardless. Eugene has kept TT in Canada afloat for a long time now.

Yes. The PRK team will be the favorite vs Spain or Hong Kong. The Chineae team will be the favorite vs South Korea.

Let's see how well PRK does before we make this a matter of Japan's limitations. At the very least, other teams are on notice now and have the Japan tape to work with. Let's see whether it makes a difference.

Like I said, I don't agree, Harimoto had won doubles titles with players other than Hayata. People just can't think outside the box on stuff like this. The North Korean pair were extremely good and there wasn't enough info to prep with while they had a lot of prep info for Harimoto and Hayata...

So because Harimoto plays a different style he is terrible? Given the doubles titles he has won, this is a myth. He has won XD with his sister. You don't have to play like everyone else to be good at something. Most of what Harimoto contributes is in serve and serve return. Let's agree to...

Some myths die hard...

Use Google to find out what service is available in your country. Peacock is for the USA

In teams they will be fine. Even in singles. In XD, the problem is the lack of exposure of North Korea combined with the style of North Korean lady. North Korea has been doing this forever though.

Pretty sure it wasn't from 0-2, but your tone is trolling so I will just ignore it going forward.

If you want to watch TT at the Olympics in the USA, you will need an app of some sort unless a VPN works for another country that provides streaming access to all the tables. The coverage is by camera to time slots from the world feed. Since there are often many matches being played...

They have trade relationships with China. That's sufficient for TT.

I know this podcast episode is cool but we do have an Olympica thread that will be competing with this one now...

The problem with coaching is that it usually hurts the way you compete if get too used to feeding balls. But these are things I have already accepted and done before. I was lucky to work with two very good and comprehensive coaches and I think when you struggle and learn as an adult, it is...

I actually dp something different now. I brace my core the way lifters do, sucking in air to fill on my lower abdomen and stiffen my spine to make it resistant to movements. I also try to do the McGill big 3 and other things like suitcase carries to improve core stability. Back issues are...

So I am back coaching again, working with a junior girl and maybe depending on availability and my job search some adult learners. For me it ia fun to coach since many people who invest time into TT get stuck because they develop misconceptions working with coaches that never deliberately...
