Their styles are similar, Kanak plays it at a higher level with better footwork and forehand and backhand.

Yeah. It is pretty interesting that she has accepted who she is. Pretty awesome player, great at the fast game, but once someone exceeds her spin threshold, that's all she wrote

Yeah, he is much more tactical and has a very specialist style. A good model for players who are not into hyperphysical table tennis. I do know someone who beat him and said that his game against heavy backspin was very suspect. But you aren't going to see much of that at that level unless...

Since he isn't going to the Olympics (largely a result of the Kanak suspension IMHO as the US should have qualified a team over Canada even with the fantastic rise of Edward Ly), I think he may have found it not worth his time at least this year, possibly permanently. But I don't know for sure.

Nowadays ir is wise ro take whatever the handle of a blade a pro is using with a grain of salt. Sponsorship contracts are related to such and you never know what the real plies are. You only know the facts if you have the facts.

Kanak completes the Lazarus project. I recommend he retire his Viscaria SALC but what do I know....

Tsao up 3-0 on Jha.

Kanak down 0-2, 1-4 to Darryl Zhao. Upset alert!

To be fair, if they felt Shin was great vs defense, they felt she was great vs defense. But Choi Hyojoo being clueless against short pips blocking... well it is what it is, SXN was a beast in her day.

The two choppers used to do that on the ITTF tour before they stopped travelling. It is old wine in New flasks.

It is good they felt that way. Most of us know that Han Ying is almost unbeatable the first time you play her so good luck to Shin with that plan and putting it all on the shoulders of a 17 year old at the Olympics.

I agree completely, people just use their common sense to look at the matchups and the scores, Ito was closer to beating Solja and Choi really should have done better *at least* against SXN.

It's weird, the chopper they have juat beat Chen Xingting but she isn't enough for them to have good practice?

G1 is pretty much MX-P without the boosting and is where it would start for a slower MX-P replacement.

The kid is young so makes sense he is still susceptible to the Japanese lefties. The match was fun to watch, the Japanese kid seemed to put so much on the ball that Sun xiulsny avoid giving him balls he wanted.

Good stuff more in line with the idea it is just QC but yo the same averages. The one thing I think he neglects to mention which makes his answer about blue and orange sponge slightly misleading is that blue sponge is currently only available in black. I wonder whether another color using blue...

Well it isn't just a QC thing if there are distinct specifications amongst the different rubber types. If national is QCed to a higher average weight for example, then there is a difference in the mean weight between the rubbers on average and not just quality control reducing variation around...

Then they would replace Kihara with Sato for a doubles defence and then hope to face no opponents with defensive specialists. Korea would accept the challenge.

The Korean men conspired to lose all their matches on the same round except Lim Junghoon, who almost did but had an opponent more willing to lose. I hope these are symptoms of overtraining that can be reigned in in time for the Olympics.

With whom? Jesus? Mary?
