Cross step, the feet actually cross. Semi cross the feet don't cross but the feeling is similar. It is like jumping and swinging into the ball all at once. You know on cross stro, you are swinging before your left foot lands. The same on semi-cross. But your left leg isn't moving so far...

If you are late to a ball you are already committing to a particular hitting wing. The issue is not what happens in drills where you know where the ball is going. The issue is what happens when you are surprised by a ball or a ball is played to your middle. If you need to move then backswing...

To be honest TTEDGE always teaches to backswing while moving and focuses on footwork which you use when you don't know where the ball is going so mostly cross and semi cross footwork.

The WTTC and Olympics are coming, gotta get some practice in.

Yoshimura is Oshima's team mate. Guys, you do know that teammates prepare each other for mutual opponents, right?

Oshima and Yoshimura senior have kinda peaked. The main thing is to give it to someone who can actually get seriously better.

Youth has volatility. Maybe Uda or Kitzikuri? Are they that much better? That is my point.

There is a video with a Canadian pro where he discusses it in both directions. He kind of confuses it but it existed as s video. By the way, TTEdge talks about the hit and move thing a lot and says it is one of those disconnects between how people actually play and how they are taught to play...

Anders Lind has been playing strong in European leagues recently. I don't think this is a big deal.

Here is the play list - sorry matches are not edited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KQezAGAmzM&list=PL1xHYZmEaJtRY69kLAsGKK4sO1uTLgsAo If you want to see me play really mindlessly, watch vs A Javaheri or vs Kumar second friendly. If you want to see me lose a match I should have won, watch...

Went 3-2 as the top seed in group 2, which is a reasonable result. Lost to a father and his son, the son 0-3 in the first match. My movement to my forehand has pronounced issues, but it is good to know. It was partly because the floor at the league is very grippy, so some of my new forehand...

So today I play league for the first time in over a year and later this week, a tournament as well. Trying to kill my expectations. Just hoping for no injuries.

Quadri goes down. Thiago played him perfectly.

As was mentioned earlier, the key to a good neutral grip is to be more on the handle and less on the face of the blade. This isn't comfortable for everyone. But I'd you can keep your forefinger consistently parallel to the base of the blade it works. It also makes it easier to create...

You mean Ma Long choking was a small sample size? And Zhang Jike winning 2013 was a small sample size? The thing is that there is an argument that you can disagree with that some people play to.peak at big events. And maybe it was just matchups but Ma Long had his Wang Hai issues. He also...

Btw Zeio, on your analysis, maybe it is the translation but results after 2018 are results after 2018. And I think on the final analysis of potential, Hayata playing the way she did in a variety of situations including Portugal, T-league and the internal trials should have opened the coach's...

Not if you think that the ability to win the biggest events says something apart from recent performance (the Chinese do value peaking for big events). I have spoken to coaches about it and I am open to both perspectives. But you saw what happened to Ma Long in 2013 as well so it gives you...

He needs to win to keep his ranking up guys. Or else he is a dangerous floater to his compatriots in the WTTC.

That 51 match winning streak got Ma Long the 3rd position on the team even if he couldn't play singles. So let's keep some perspective. Before that it was expected that Ma Lin could get the nod as defending Olympic champion even if he didn't play singles.
