If she can get ahead of Wang Manyu in the ittf rankings, it will cause significant problems for China.

If she was a 22 year old going on 26 your logic would be impeccable. For a 12 year old going to be 16 at the end of the cycle, the kind of progression we see in such players can be mindboggling. So I would weight her more recent results over her results in all the events. Her competition...

I mean training your serves and strokes to generate spin but not at the table, on a bed or on the floor so you can take powerful cuts with your serving form and see the full path of the ball and develop power into the serving stroke. Practicing all the time at the table makes it hard to develop...

Dima revenge tour is complete.

Togami is Calderano from Japan.

Nah, she is at most 2 years away, three is way too long. I wouldn't be surprised if she won in January but Hayata is a major obstacle. I don't see Hirano or Ito as anything close to insurmountable.

Kallberg the Confuser - this is the guy whose gsme confuses me the most. He should be top of Europe but something is always missing. Let us see whether Felix has mercy on him or not.

You can see the signs but the fight or flight response of Hayata is strong and she is still physically able to do things Harimoto cannot on defense.

How much serving on the floor do you fo?

Joola Aruna off was an ancient and kinda slow blade. I would use softer rubbers with a bit more speed like Tenergy 05 if I played with it again.

I think in general, I don't feel you are using the lower arm all the way from the elbow downwards with maximum effect. There doesn't seem to be enough whip on the ball, it might be because you are not consistently trying to form the stroke relative to your elbow in exactly the same way more...

Golden Tango is pretty heavy already so it is pretty similar, nothing special. With all these things, a lot comes down to grip strength (so you are relaxed when swinging but your fingers are still able to apply pressur) and patience to train and adapt when you don't have it. My hands and...

Felix reminds us why Hugo will never beat the Chinese in a serious match - lacka the short game and close to the table control. This boy is phenomenal. His ability to hold the table in close to the table rallies is second to none at the moment and is a more advanced version of what Harimoto...

Got out to play today mostly to test some blades that I had bought recently. I tried The Szocs 1 Signature. Blade with Rakza Z EH on both sides and I am really tempted to switch to that. But I played almost as well with the Inspira CCF with Butterfly handle clone that SDC built for me with...

I think you have a whip/fingers problem. I will explain in the other thread, your from looks good but I suspect your quality is lower than it should be.

Lol... no, I am not Swedish, would be a crime to buy that and not be.

That's a miss on my part, thanks for asking. So I wanted a Cybershape Carbon composition without the headshape, which I hear is the Stiga Inspira CCF. I asked for Korbel handles though I think they are probably thicker than I would find optimal given the blade thickness. I asked for one with...

The draw also seems to be shaping up nicely for Togami to make his first WTT Contender final. Of course, there are no gimmes in this draw, but I like his path, he just has to seize it.

Looks like France already has a new world class XD team with higher potential by replacing Gauzy with Lebrun to partner with the lefty Pavade. If they win the event (likely against Harimoto/Hayata in finals), the world will be put on notice.

The last game was close, but it also had the most spectacular points in the match I think. Well done, Felix - now we need to see him play a chopper that can slow him down a little lol. Wang Yang would be interesting I think.
