  1. WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2024 July 2-7

    Yoshimura is injured it seems.
  2. WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2024 July 2-7

    No way. Maybe got lucky playing Harimoto amongst her first team teammates, but other than her teammates on the first team, it is hard to think of anyone who can beat her.
  3. WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2024 July 2-7

    They used to be more frequent on ITTF. The problem is that Japan is so deep and if you are outside the first team, you need special funding. Maybe their club found it or something.
  4. WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2024 July 2-7

    And Jang Woojin is out. Lin and Shin also out in XD but the problem is Lin and Chen can challenge Harimoto Hayata.
  5. WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2024 July 2-7

    The birthday girl wins!
  6. I think I unlocked the ultimate cheat code for Butterfly rubbers with Spring Sponge X

    I am not a professional so no go. Some things should be left only to the people whose livelihood depends on it.
  7. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Anyone know how Paris works in terms of clubs? I will be there for a 9 days, probably with no time to play on family business, but as a TT nerd/addict, it would out of character to not investigate the possibility of playing somewhere....
  8. I am looking for that 'effortless forehand topspin mechanics' tip

    I don't think being on your toes is a a good thing but I have tried it and have knee pain but since I had knee pain before TT, I can't be sure what TT does. But being on your heels is equally bad for playing powerful TT strokes, most people leave the ground at some point I'd they are advanced...
  9. Skyline 2 vs Skyline 3

    So I tried a Gewo sticky rubber on a Viscaria SALC and I really couldn't control the forehand (too fast). So I went to pick up my regular blade and forgot that I had built a combo like it with Skyline 3 forehand and Dignics 05 backhand and simply picked up the first blade from my bag that had...
  10. I think I unlocked the ultimate cheat code for Butterfly rubbers with Spring Sponge X

    I wouldn't be surprised if a similar QC process (or one step in such process) is done in advance by DHS when selecting provincial vs commercial vs national.
  11. Samson Dubina sexual assault case

    They did. Read the first paragraph carefully.
  12. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I have tried it a few times. For me the real problem with my forehand is my arthritic lower body and overall joint pain which prevent me from using the body the way I would really like to. Using my legs to play forehand causes pain. The lack of rotation is not always a bad thing, it makes my...
  13. Samson Dubina sexual assault case

    Forget the law for a moment, just being alone with the minor is a Safesport violation. But again, we know he was found guilty of something that suggests harm, the details of the harm are open to some degree to the imagination.
  14. Samson Dubina sexual assault case

    Yes and in the eyes of many people, Dubina was better off with an assault charge than a secual imposition charge. I guess the law and the opinions of people are at odds here. And of course, smart people can decide whether parroting the degrees is all that matters. And without the details of...
  15. Samson Dubina sexual assault case

    Seems the AI is more open to speculation than you are. So if someone argues based on point 3 that the prosecution did not have the evidence to get sexual imposition, your response would be?
  16. Samson Dubina sexual assault case

    No, he is not pleading guilty to some aspect of the "original charge" - the original charge was sexual imposition and he was not found guilty of that and the charge he was found guilty of has zero sexual implications. He is pleading guilty to violating the law, but what aspect of his act/acts...
  17. Samson Dubina sexual assault case

    Yes, and my point is that a lot is left open to speculation. Unfortunately, what happens then is that when people speculate in directions others do not like, it becomes an issue. Hence the paper has to be technically correct as to what Dubina pleaded guilty to, people who ask what he is guilty...
  18. I am looking for that 'effortless forehand topspin mechanics' tip

    I think many of them start with a part of their foot off the ground. And to be honest, videotape doesn't conceptualize internal feeling. One can literally look like they have their heel on the ground but if you asked the player how he felt, he would say he was largely on the balls of his feet...
  19. Samson Dubina sexual assault case

    Sure and mine still stands too. What exactly is Dubina guilty of? What was the harm he caused if ot wasnt sexual in nature and for peoplle not focused on Dubina's personal integrity, is it true that he pleaded guilty to a more serious offense?
  20. I am looking for that 'effortless forehand topspin mechanics' tip

    The advice is usually to play more on the balls of your feet with your heels off the ground but these do not perfectly communicate all the subtleties. On your toes is definitely too extreme if taken as an absolute. And the foot definitely takes a lot of different positions on the floor in...
