Trust TT's version of the human wet blanket to rescue us from tales of high ratings...

For whatever reason, the name of this rubber keeps taking me back to Dragon Ball Super and the Super Saiyan Rose transformation.

Film yourself sometime.

He is not cocking his wrist, film yourself from behind looping sometime and see what it looks like.

TPS Ventus is a Japanese rubber probably from the Daiku factory that makes Stiga, TSP, Nexy etc rubbers - what you are experiencing is probably similar to how I feel when I use Nexy Karis next to H3 and a tensor - tensor is too jumpy, H3 is too slow/lacking in spin for what I like to do but...

Which "Eurojap" looper loops like this? One is sufficient. Like I said, the one thing that characterizes all the top CNT players, less so Xu Xin, is diversity of looping techniques. If anyone calls ZJK a bit more of an Euro looper, which Eurolooper loops like this? In the end, the top...

A lot of this is fitting a square peg into a round hole. It's been known for a long time that bent elbow loops aid recovery at the cost of power. Ma Long, Zhang Jike, Wang Hao, Fan Zhendong (I am not listing Xu Xin for a reason, though I could) have a variety of forehand strokes that they...

If he does the red line, he might be able to get close to WDCTT. I think Fort Totten plus an Uber might do the trick.

A good coach told me that self-talk in table tennis is highly underestimated, and it is almost as important as having a good coach to talk you through a match. You can even tell yourself lies, but you have to tell yourself things that put you in the best mindset to play well, not things that...

It's your reward for not playing the league. More seriously, I should have told you I was coming ao please forgive the oversight on my part. Was only there on Sunday.

FINAL SEMI QF:

I am actually leaving the DC area today after having been here since Sunday. I went to meet up with friends drom TTEdge at WDTTC. Couldn't play as much as I would have liked with my arthritis but still played a decent amount. Played a young Chinese footwork and forehand guy who had one of the...

Yes. And more and better rallies. No silly mistakes in serve return or third ball or rallies because of deformed balls. I think Timo's struggles with the NP40+ at competitions were really about declining form and good opponents. All those people who beat him have improved vs the field as...

When you first use it, it feels really sharp. But it becomes duller in a week or two but still remains spinny. Some people don't like the loss of the feeling of grip but I have gotten used to it since I know play exactly the same with 3 month Karis as with brand new Karis, the 3 month Karis...

That's why it is one of the hardest serves to do. Many people can't put backspin on the serves, and when they do, it is not absolutely heavy (only deceptively heavy), so many pros don't like that and prefer their higher quality spinny variants. For me, I can't serve it as reliably short and...

Chen Yinghua, who left China a long time ago, spoke about thia form of training and he was the Waldner clone in the 80s. EDIT: Added link to article. http://lucioping.altervista.org/English/the_secrets_of_chinese_table_ten.htm

Kasumi Ishikawa, Hina Hayata.

China has swept the medals in the last 2 WTTC. So again, i understand your passion, but really most of the JNT have suffered losses to the Chinese in crucial rounds. Same with Germany. Nothing to be ashamed of. Their inconsistencies are no different from people like Freitas, Samsonov, Dima...

I think you only say that because you have a vested interest in supporting them. Their performance and regular level is no different from say, South Korea. The real problem is probably injuries.

I thot so but I have not seen a formal list and my brain forgets.., ah, Muromatsu overtook him in rankings. That is why Maharu is not on the CNT board.
