You seem to be young and getting coached, at best I would learn to practice a bit more the small skills with the fingers which you can master if you work more on getting spin with your serves.

But that is not a stereotype - if he was still beating WCQ, he would likely be going to Paris for singles.

The only way this happens is when something that someone has hyped up for you becomes a disappointment- which is what happened to me with the Mizutani SZLC. I was thinking that this blade would be a rocket monster. Unfortunately I fell in love with the Cybershape just before I purchased it and...

How did you arrive at the conclusion that FZD is the single most mentally strong player, when, IMHO, he should have been beating (Grand) Pa Long all these years, including at the last Olympics, but had to have Pa Long locked up in China so he could win his first WTTC?

Stereotypes? Seriously? He had his chance to beat WCQ head-2-head in Durban. That's his real problem.

No one is stopping them sure, but the budget required to do so would be the entire TT investment of some countries in a year. Then to fly out DHS and training partners and analytics teams etc. The point is not so much that they are doing something illegal, but that when people are talking...

Not necessarily, those things are for you to determine as long as they are within the rules. The main issue is that you aren't clearly spinning the ball. You need to spin the ball much more. And swing with a little less power.

The easiest way to keep a serve short is high spin level with side backspin (to give longer trajectory across the table), or low spin level with delicate touch, though both can drift long with enthusiasm under pressure. Because we can't see your whole serve trajectory, it is unclear whether it...

You got a lot of blades built by SDC/hipnotic. You didn't like them?

A lot is clearly broken in TT, I am not sure whether it is because there isn't enough money in the sport that no one obviously cares in investigative journalism. But Shahara already showed us that you could do ridiculous things and get away with it.

I think it is a universal problem, how to know what skills transition well and what skills take more time. Because some things that work at the junior levels don't translate as well to the senior level.

You've watched his matches against Kou Lei?

He played very well at Singapore Smash (beat Falck) and Bobrow, who has travelled a lot and is familiar with these players much earlier than most of us, said that Quek has the "it" factor, when you know a player is destined for big things. Regardless, Alexis is not so good that a player capable...

The only thing is that as they stay on tour longer, their style becomes known so they become easier to play. I also feel that Kao's youth worked against him a bit. But Jinbao has been at the top of US TT long enough to know he is legit - I think he still goes back to China to keep himself sharp.

Hayata has post Games blues. But very few players can replicate Weishan's annoying variation based style. Definitely not for the muscle heads.

You can't use a VPN?

Quek is going to be a top 20 player barring injury, I don't get the dismay.

Quek is really good though, as much as Alexis is struggling, I don't think a loss to Quek is outside any good player's range.

I'm not sure why you are using speculation to replace data. USATT players like Ma Jinbao who are 2700 are clearly world class (you don't beat Kou Lei or Eugene Wang without being world class). Jishan Liang who is a notch below did beat Drinkhall in the US. A lot does come down to specific...

In general, modern popular sneaker design does things that are dangerous for the natural movement of the bare foot. It will be interesting to see how long things continue before they change.
