  1. 2018 World Junior U18 TT Championships

    The US had a terrible draw for both men and women. Its quite possible that no other team will take a match off China. Very sad.
  2. Guestimate the Ratings

    The other guy is a tournament/league player and is easily over 2500 and more likely over 2650. I believe though I am not sure that his last name is Jetvocic or something similar. In any case, my point was that it is easy to lose context when you don't know what you are watching. But the...

  4. Guestimate the Ratings

    Yes. Its quite obvious why I am answering you the way I am but you seem to miss the point.
  5. Guestimate the Ratings

    I don't know who the players are, I am just asking for brokenball to estimate their ratings.
  6. Guestimate the Ratings

    There is a difference between the way a player plays when he plays 1) an opponent he feels threatened by and there is money at stake 2) an opponent he feels threatened by and there is no money at stake 3) an opponent he doesn't feel threatened by and he is in the mood to practice (this will...

  8. Guestimate the Ratings

    The video is not misleading at all - it really comes down to what you are looking for and which points you use to estimate the players. In my view, both players are easily over 2200. THey are clearly doing or trying to do things that players below that level don't do. They are very familiar...
  9. World Tour Grand Finals 2018

    Ma Long is looking like a beast again in the CSL. He gets my vote.
  10. How to improve from 2000 to 2200

    Both are equally important. I know this in part because I have tried coaching players in different contexts and seen some of the limitations of things I recommended to them.
  11. Joola bought Joola

    I think the American company makes enough money off things related to the brand that they are interested in owning it. The NA teams is a pretty huge tournament with over $100k in entry fees alone. It would be better to control the brand even if the equipment is not profitable than to make a new...
  12. How to improve from 2000 to 2200

    Not on a regular basis unless the drills you do push you a lot and the quality of the lower level player when doing drills is similar to better players but their main issue is movement. You need to see quality balls come back to get better. I actually thought that it was possible to get better...
  13. How to improve from 2000 to 2200

    The most important thing, by far and way, is to have an equal or higher level training partner and to work out a few hours a week, on average at least an hour a day, with that partner. Compared to that, the rest is mostly gist.
  14. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    No. Taking a break from the game. Maybe early next year.
  15. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    Not at all. Just find the return to Tenergy interesting. I might have predicted it a while back.

  18. China Super League 2018

    Is Shandong Luneng cheating? Is it legal to field a team with Ma Long, Yan An, Shang Kun and Zhang Chao?

    That was comprehensive. Total Victory!
