  1. How Can We Protect Female Players From Larry Nasser Types In Table Tennis?

    We have it in the US too, I just did my submissions today. We have to watch some training videos and do some quizzes and get a background check. Otherwise, if your club lists you, the club will be USATT-sanctioned.
  2. World Team Cup 2018

    Koreans play chop too well.
  3. World Team Cup 2018

    Possibly. But what Pitchford also revealed was how susceptible Harimoto waa to certain patterns that Fan Zhendong executes in his sleep.
  4. World Team Cup 2018

    Let's just say you need to know something about who you are writing to when making arguments like this. And you don't know enough about people on the internet to discuss these issues in any detail. Your positions are not unreasonable, just don't waste time trying to defend them on this forum...

    Anyone still think this kid will beat Fan Zhendong?
  6. Lack of self-awareness when serving illegally

    Yes, but some returners have typical problems with typical actions. I have an unreasonably bad problem with low tosses - just can't read the ball if it isn't forced to have vertical rebound off the paddle to generate side top.
  7. Lack of self-awareness when serving illegally

    The serving rules are so complicated that just about everyone has something borderline illegal or plainly illegal about their serves. Tossing with the fingers, tossing none vertically (watch Ma Long on many of his pendulums or ZJK on the reverse or Dima on the Tomahawk), tossing too low (watch...
  8. World Team Cup 2018

    Down goes Wong! Probably the best international victory by a US player ever? Someone may correct me later.
  9. World Team Cup 2018

    He is pretty much technically perfect. Mostly lacks power.
  10. World Team Cup 2018

    Wow, the overrated Wong Chun Ting loses from 10-7 up in the second game. Call Kanak butter cause he is on a roll.
  11. World Team Cup 2018

    Someone probably pointed this out already but Amy and Lily were both trained in America, Lily especially got a huge part of her training from various coaches and the highest level *coach* at the ICC during her critical years was not Chinese (in the same way Kanak Jha was largely developed by a...

    Child-sex Predators do wander into just about any thing that allows them to be close to kids. Table tennis doesn't make it easy for them to get kids, but I wouldn't be surprised if some one of them would not come up with some scheme to find the right opportunities. That's why I am not that...
  13. Advice please - Thinking about TIBHAR DRINKHALL ALLROUND CARBON CLASSIC Blade

    Not necessarily. But again remember that many people play with stuff that is not ideal for them. I read Schlager's response and his point was not to start players on equipment unsuitable for the looping game if the point was to make them loopers. It's hard to imagine that many people can't...

  15. Advice please - Thinking about TIBHAR DRINKHALL ALLROUND CARBON CLASSIC Blade

    Carl, This is where I disagree with you. 1.9(-2.0mm) is not a thin sponge. Some people hate feeling the wood on their shots, some people do not. But there are many players who if you gave them 1.9mm sponge without telling them it is 1.9mm sponge, they would play the same or even better and...
  16. How Can We Protect Female Players From Larry Nasser Types In Table Tennis?

    The question is silly, but in a sense, the answer is yes, it is true in all the 250 cases. Part of the reason you are asking the question the way you are to troll is that it was admitted by some parents to be true that they didn't listen to their children, one even committed suicide I hear...

    I have decided to switch to more Nigerian technique (which could mean a variety of things). In this case though I think it is clearer if you watch matches like this - it is probably already to some degree a part of me but I will add it more especially on the forehand. It's really funny how I...
  18. Are there any pro players that still use an all wood blade?

    I am not knowledgeable about graphics manipulation but the shot at 2:07 in the match against WCT is extremely clear and that is not a Viscaria.
