She got the thumb injury during the match. But regardless, you can't blame Hirano for playing to her level when they allow players who are clearly nowhere close to their world rankings to get world rankings based on continental results. The result was obviously coming once I saw the draw.

Ito has done equally cold blooded things. So for me, no confirmation, though I knew Hirano was going to do that before the match started.

Seeing videos on youtube for this.

There are definitely pros to brushing and spinning more. I play that style so I should know, but as everything else it has its cons. I think you others have pointed out the main point of the video, that brushing so much you raise the risk of whiffing the ball is bad, but the reality is that the...

Do the weights affect the frequency?

The thing is that with even when someone like Timo Boll drives through the ball more, it still looks like excessive brushing. In the end, just focus on your consistency and ball quality, the technique doesn't always look like you think it should. I mean can anyone tell when Kanak is looping...

Language can be an impediment to learning physical actions. Just try whatever you think you understand from what he is saying and if it improves your stroke, awesome. And if not, keep doing what you have always done. I agree that in principle, your stroke needs to expose as much surface area...

Group 5 - 3 lefties in one group.

People keep drawing analogies to other sports without understanding the similarities and differences between table tennis and other sports. The biggest difference is the table tennis tour is not the primary source of most player's sport incomes. Of course, everyone has sports contracts and...

Probably a production batch.

A lot of technical knowledge about how go swing at the ball is now all over the internet. Many players are realizing more and more that they shouldn't be swinging so much with the upper arm. The other issue is that the new plastic ball doesn't grip the rubber as much as the celluloid balls...

K1 and especially K2 are good rubbers. Golden Tango from Joola was very similar. It's just that people find them slow for Hybrids. But they are very Hurricane like and are good rubbers. Not many players like Hurricane like rubbers - don't be fooled by Dignics 09c and K3.

Won't Shin Yubin and Lim Junghoon qualify by WR as well? This event is truly fascinating.

Maybe, but just about everyone I know who uses the rubbers uses c53. I thought I would like c48, but it left me disgusted, maybe if I had tried c53, maybe I would still be using it today lol.

Interesting how I never knew this had happened:

Dropping the racket with the hand to the knee to loop is not quite correct. But that said technique is for everyone to figure out. The right approach to lowering the body is to use lunges or squats to engage the legs combined with a minor folding of the torso. Then you spin the legs forwards...

The closer you play to the table, the harder ir is to apply power to the ball because the distance to travel is smaller and the ball still has more of the existing energy of the opponent. Even when the ball is high sometimes, the ball has too much energy for you to direct it on the table. It...

Table tennis is like life, there is always another boss waiting after you defeat the current one. It is like chess, you have to plan a few moves ahead, the difference being that in table tennis, you need to develop the skills to get to the next move before the next move makes sense. You just...

Even the old Hurricane, if you used ir for a bit the tackiness became less unless you used protector sheets. It is ultimately about whether you have the ability to support playing with it. Some people don't like the way the tacky rubbers block but I am not high level enough to care and I now...

I feel the same way and I use the regular Hurricanez not the Neo.
