  1. World Table Tennis Macao 2020

    Yep, it is on youtube for sure in the USA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0f0gXeGiNI
  2. Spinniest but fastest all-wood blade that you've tried.

    That was when I still thought spin was effective. It doesn't get you quite what it used to with these ABS plastic balls. Also I step back a bit more often now. Hard to loop the ball with a short stroke without knees with those slower blades. Even worse if you are blocking a couple of feet...
  3. World Table Tennis Macao 2020

    The 5 point games were for seeding the top 4 players - why is this left out whenever we talk about the 5 point games? Does anyone want the top players to expend energy in games to 11? Or we would rather the games not be played than to see them play 5 point games? I liked seeing the games...
  4. Spinniest but fastest all-wood blade that you've tried.

    The best player I know who started as an adult uses a JM SZLC. The Mazunov is the only thing that I know comes close in speed that is all wood. How you guys use those slowish looping 7 plies, I really have no clue.
  5. Spinniest but fastest all-wood blade that you've tried.

    Nothing special vs a Korbel. You can get one under 100g and there are ways to manage the weight. Definitely a spinny blade that can compete with fast composites. Now more OFF than OFF+.
  6. Spinniest but fastest all-wood blade that you've tried.

    Wrist effect is misconceived, ultimately the speed/acceleration rotational element of the contact is all that matters for spin and the wrist isn't the only thing generating this. I find it interesting that no one brings up the Mazunov. For a combination of speed and feeling as an all wood...
  7. Spinniest but fastest all-wood blade that you've tried.

    Definitely not the same for everyone and sometimes, not even the same for the same person at two different points in their life. People also underestimate the impact of the inner plies as well. I personally prefer the feeling of Ayous to Kiri, and I find that in many cases more important than...
  8. Return of International TT Matches

    It was fun for Gustavo to remind us why not all Chinese players are certainties to win vs international competition at any given time.

  10. Return of International TT Matches

    Is Fan injured? Why is he sitting this out?
  11. Modern replacement for BTY Oh Sang Eun blade

    Hadraw VK - it is largely the Same blade, just over priced.
  12. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    He's a celebrity - it is inevitable.
  13. Return of International TT Matches

    I don't think 4-3 is owning, though I agree that the consistency of the wins is good for FZD.
  14. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    It is quite possible and quite likely that you are very wrong about this. But this is what happens to famous people all the time when people talk about them.
  15. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    I have never heard anything reported about Rafael Nadal but I have always felt something was off about him. He is still one of my favorite tennis players. Very disciplined and very intelligent.
  16. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    There are other examples, because I do remember an umpire ruling against him in a match before it stopped. But in any case, if you want to properly evaluate a claim like this, you should consider watching the match rather than relying on highlights, whatever you think of the claim...

    It is so they can confuse you with Confucianism while you near the burden of being transparent and nuanced.

    zeio, Nuance is not for everyone. Have fun being a master debater. Cheers.
  20. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Okay, zeio. It's getting nowhere in part because you make it a matter of being right. In your haste to make it clear that I have changed my mind, you forgot this post: So you see my position hasn't changed that much if at all. I think the ITTF, like many sports governing bodies, should have...
