This ARB guy is persistent that's for sure.

Exactly. The reason I didnt phrase it that way is that not everything goes with calendar year. But in things that don't, a similar pattern relative to the criteria emerges. Then people will use Geniuses like Harimoto to pretend that age doesn't matter and pretend bad Harimoto won't be a...

Sure. In fact, at those ages, a few months is a big deal. That's why a lot of research shows a positive correlation between being a few months older and doing better in school. That is why events that cater to your age regardless of the month you were born usually have the oldest kids...

These players are all 2-3 years older than him if it isn't clear.

Well that is a matter of opinion and I will leave it at that. I have no problem arguing that their shot quality is not that different. I could be wrong but I have no problem arguing it.

Maybe in your neck of the woods. The New DHS and DFish balls ABS balls are more durable than the seamless balls. This has been true for over a year now.

If your reference is 2 years ago, you are way behind.

Definitely true in my experience unless things have changed. New ABS balls from DHS and DFish were far more durable than NP40+.

I clearly have. You are focusing on one thing and I and focusing on another. If you don't like my choice of LGY and think it must be Mizutani, fine. I could have used CCY or Niwa ro make my point without losing sleep. It's that lack of power still has a future in the game.

I think your evaluation is biased by the relative power levels of the players. I think Kanak is simply playing to his strengths. He lacks the power to end the point with one shot consistently. What that means in the long term for his career will be interesting. But Lin Gaoyuan is #3 so...

Kanak, out of all the players, had the best ranking on the junior tour based on activity on the junior tour. So he had the most relevant ranking if you looked at how juniors played vs juniors. The other players got their rankings more from their past WJTTC performances and their rankings on...

Let's hope this encourages HT to play WJTTC this year where WCQ is likely to lead the CNT entry.

Kanak was ranked #2, and has competed well against his peers on the junior circuit. People who focus think the ranking is biased underrated him but I never once doubted that his seeding was deserved. In the end, matchups matter and seeding based on performance reflects that.

Sidorenko is a good player though I am a bit surprised. I guess Cho wasn't as good as I thought a Korean rep would be for whatever reason.

I agree but it is never all about you but also about your competition. There are 4 CNT level players in the draw, including himself, so performing at that level just puts him in the mix.

Cho Daesong is not being taken seriously and can cause some upsets.

I think if we did a round Robin with Wang Manyu, Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen, they would all have a good chance of winning depending on the day and the weather. Wang Manyu had come much further than I expected in such a short time. My point is that I am not sure Wang Manyu is clearly #3 and I am...

Wang Manyu is likely higher than you think. Chen Meng is likely lower than you think. Just my opinion tho.

They did not change the seed, people just didnt understand how the snake seed works in forming the draw. Even with the seeding, the only two people you are sure will not be on the same half of the draw are seeds 1 and 2 (as a pair) and seeds 3 and 4 ( as a pair). The rest is slightly more...

Looks like someone realized that if Tiger Woods can do it, so can CNT....
