    Thanks Lula. One of the tragedies of starting old is that I don't see spin as well as people who started young. But I try my best. I still think I have room to improve my long balls. But I will definitely go short once I have improved my ability and confidence seeing the ball.

    I do push short. But people rarely ever serve short at the level I play and I don't read ball depth well enough to tell the difference. If someone is serving long and you try to return short because you are not reading the ball, you will always return long or into the net. Moreover I don't...

    Yeah. People also underestimate the impact and depth of CNT analytics and coaching. Hugo IMO would be a top player on Super League if he played. He is not technically flawed or lacking in power. His abilities just make it hard for him to sharpen his game without the right level of...
  4. USA 2019 Pan Am Games Team Trial & 1st Adult Nat Rank Tourney Mar 1-3

    This is misinformation, as part of the reason this tournament is being held is for the Pan American games, which Kanak has directly qualified for already. So he doesn't need to come back and play this. Neither Wu Yue or Lily did, so they still have to play.

    Sounds like you have what you need. I don't try to push FH short other than in drills. Maybe something with softer sponge will do well for you but since I haven't tried softer sponge in a while, I really can't make any informed comments. Genius is the most similar to T80 but the slower speed...

    Which of the Hexer, Baracuda, Genius, Xplode, Xtra Energy, G1, Vega Pro generation did you try?

    Rozena is overpriced for what it does. Get something old school from ESN and stop EJing after that.

    This is true. But you will also find out that if you do not learn to take good shots without recovery, it is hard to learn to take good shots.

    Very soon, you will be accusing Ishikawa of visiting 5 plastic surgeons...

    And neither is Ding Ning in China by the same standard. But Kasumi is the #1 ranked Japanese player and historically their team leader.

    Just about everyone who started training as an adult without intense physical training has zero reset hop. So I am not sure why you are making this an issue. And I would not recommend a reset hop as being necessary for anyone until it is clear they have major recovery issues, it is something...
  12. Swedish National Championships 2019

    The team is almost 100% certain to be: Falck, Karlsson, Persson, Moregard and Kallberg. Not sure how it can be any different. And this is without even looking at anything this year.

    I thought about it and it is not as demoralizing as you think. Definitely a bit unfair but not demoralizing. She could easily not be picked to play anything.
  14. Marvellous 12 2019

    Yes, she lost to Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi, and beat Liu Shiwen, Ding Ning and Zhu Yuling. But the coaches have an idea of what they are doing.
  15. Marvellous 12 2019

    I think you have the Ding Ning vs Wang Manyu order wrong.
  16. Marvellous 12 2019

    Ah okay. Then Sun Yingsha is almost definitely not playing singles.
  17. Swedish National Championships 2019

    There is no change - they probably just didn't have a true top 20 player then.
  18. Marvellous 12 2019

    Yeah - they may have internal trials again for another spot, but if the coaches pick according to old history, Wang Manyu is the one to get chopped. But if course, they have to confirm the Sun Yingsha and they may find a way out of it.
  19. Swedish National Championships 2019

    Most countries have 3 and then there are spots for having a player in the top 100, top 20 and host. Falck is top 20 and KArlsson is definitely top 100 so Sweden will have 5.
