Mizutani's reward for winning his group is a match with Fan. Very unfortunate.

Humble pie...

I don't think this is fair to FZD but that said, the group you listed is called the special generation for a reason. As dominant as China has been, these guys were considered special.

A group with 3 lefties and FZD. Shows you what TT can be like...

There are also Super league and trial wins. But the one above just after the Olympics is the easiest to forget.

Sure. And he could also gather himself without the timeout or get coaching. That is why the focus of a timeout is YOU. Focusing on what the opponent needs is dangerous unless you know him well. In fact many players do not know how to talk to themselves during their own timeouts. Their...

My approach is to always try different plays and to always play seriously. I might try serves or plays I rarely use but used at one time, whether fast long serves, backhand reverse or baby tomahawk. I might chop long serves or just pop up the ball and run back on rare points. You never know...

The tactic should not be used to kill momentum even if that is a reasonable side effect in some instances. The tactic should be used to put yourself in the best mental position to win the points you need to win. I stress to people all the time that whether it it works or not, the focus of a...

TT is taking huge steps to make itself a better sport. Still ways to go but this is a massive step in the right direction - English commentary!

Now you understand why the Chinese call timeout when they are up 10-4 and the score becomes 10-7.

Wow, Gu/Mu win...

The best thing about it is that it is cheap. I still haven't played enough to get used to it but it is definitely a good rubber. My style has to get much more aggressive close to the table to maximize it.

Sichuan has no right to complain about this result. LGY should be ashamed of himself.

A team that fields players at the teams in the bottom of the Superleague has made it to the finals. Amazing.

Ma Long needs to retire.

Chen Meng loses to He Zhuojia. Not good.

My playing level is still dropping but I like the game too much to stop playing. So screw my playing level. I am reconceiving my forehand stroke for what I hope will be the final time. I have decided to go back to a spinny forehand with off the bounce elements whether as a short or large...

While I am not a lefty and lefties do have advantages, the key is to be able to have a good variety of spinny and deceptive serves with good spin variation. Then be able to place these at various points on the table. Then to practice attacking behind them to get an idea of how to handle a...

No, it definitely doesn't. But it does feel grippier at the beginning and though that feel goes away, it performs largely the same, maybe better. I have a student who I gave sheets in January who is still using them.

Yeah. MX-P and T80FX are not for people who want to compromise. The stuff that helps you compromise is slower than that. But still isn't as cheap or slow as cheap tacky rubber. There is the Hexer/Baracuda/Genius generation of tensors. And even the stuff suds79 chose is not that bad either...
