Agreed. It is what happens on a smaller scale when top talent is sent to German or French league teams to train and improve with better players.

When does the lockdown affect you guys? When were the matches filmed and how many more episodes can we expect before we fully get depressed by a lack of new table tennis from the TTD squad?:p

Those national rubbers are available to Korean and Japanese players. Korea has DHS sponsored players (Jang Woojin) and many other players who use Hurricane in forehand. Japan has women who use Hurricane (Ishikawa, Hayata). None of these players would use inferior rubber if it was all they had...

If you think it is mostly the short receive advantage, then why are other countries that are using Chinese rubber not doing as well as the Chinese do? How long should we wait to see the other countries that use Chinese rubber catch up? It is a lot of things but the biggest one is the...

That doesn't sound good but I am hoping it is a bit faster than that. But I also play very close to the table so my needs are usually a bit different.

The people who use MX-P that I play against seem to have something extra on their loops. I think right now I have accepted that there is no big need for me to save money and that I can use expensive rubbers for months so I will probably try Dignics 09C soon and keep it on my blade for the rest...

Looks like people working for the WHO like elements of Sweden's approach: https://nypost.com/2020/04/29/who-lauds-sweden-as-model-for-resisting-coronavirus-lockdown/

Sounds like the reinfection train is coming to a halt as Baal predicted... https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-south-korean-reactivated-cases-not-reinfected-experts-2020-4

You aren't the first to say that tacky rubber makes a difference - I say it a lot too and my friend who is a top level coach says it all the time. But many Koreans and JNT players are using tacky rubber and even with the new rubber, Dima beat Fan 4-3 in the 7th which he did 2 or 3 years...

One of the guys I like to listen to, David Diamond, who became a speaker on cholesterol because of the problems he saw with the lipid heart disease hypothesis, always liked to mention that most of the processes that caused heart disease raised clotting factors. Since a little knowledge can be...

Almost all the excess mortality is found in people over the age of 70 (usually with comorbidities acquired over a life of smoking or diabetic physiology). While this is not trivial and life is important, this is something that is almost never communicated when looking at these charts. They...

Even when people don't speak about R directly, they speak about having 14 days of declining case rates or things like that. Those are all common sense measures of R, I don't think it is wise in general to trust the general public with something that needs an appreciation of exponential...

Cuomo mentions it quite a bit. It is different in every state/county and it is what states use in a sense to manage their spread. I don't think "never" is fair, strictly speaking.

Some of it is that it is a fat soluble vitamin, and it is harder for the body to produce and use it optimally if you aren't getting the right fats in your diet.

OOOps, wrong video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKcFJ1Yporo

So what is the value in Sweden now for comparison?

https://youtu.be/v2r1cnTUnkE?t=112 Anyone think that Trump can do that in NY?

What do you think of this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXw3XqwSZFo

Goes back to human nature. There are people who think Samsonov is over the hill and should retire and people who think he should continue playing as long as he can. I believe that you should play as long as you enjoy playing and that if you want to review your old record, you can go to the...

I agree with a lot of this (much more than my response communicates) but I also know that people who often claim something is evidence based are often stating their own opinion because their evidence is not strong enough to convince people with ease. I have much more training in math and...
