And you are what besides a 1700-1800 equipment junkie that has never once spoken to an actual professional player or coach?

Yeah, using tension rubbers for your entire career and early career makes it impossible for you to learn how to gain power. Just look at Hugo and Aruna, powerless tension rubber users.

Even if they haven't met head to head he has trained with Togami and is familiar with his game, so wouldn't say those risks were undue, they just didn't work out this time.

Yes, just like KCJ signing with Andro signaled that all the pros have realized that European companies have surpassed Asian companies especially Butterfly in every possible way. Europe is the best!

The fact that Kao is using T05H (Butterfly's most similar to NUZN as NUZN is not a hybrid so therefore not 09c-like) instead of NUZN 55 says a lot.

Wow. Every line of this post is pure gold and coming from someone directly involved with the coach in question, I hope the thread starter really reads this and realizes what a mistake he would be making by switching course at 1500 as others had said already. It captures everything I wanted to...

So you can have an opinion that he was acting with full honesty instead of taking the undeserved gift from the umpire, but you can't have an opinion on what he would have done if the situation was reversed?

How you know? How you know?

Don't know what you're saying, but don't think it answers my question. Do you think Xiang Peng would have reacted with no disagreement or argument if he scored two points that the umpire said doesn't count, after the point was fully finished playing?

So you truly believe that if Xiang Peng lost a point that he won because the umpire called a let after the point was finished, and if a second point he had scored was negated because the umpire called a let after the point was finished, he would have zero disagreements and proceed without any...

I simply highlighted an example of good sportsmanship in the exact same situation as Xiang Peng failed to show it. What part of my comment made you think I expect everyone to always be sportsmanlike?

Aruna does at 0-2 9-7 what Xiang Peng never could... look how easy it is to be sportsmanlike

Thanks for letting us know 3.5 years later.

I've been up close to WMY before. She is absolutely not 5 foot 9+ (1.76m)

Man, you've got to stop making everything about equipment lol. Togami has a highly powerful forehand. I'm not sure if by spin-based you mean that he plays with slow and controlled spin but that would not be accurate. Harimoto also lost to Xue Fei at Singapore Smash before the Zyre switch if...

Big difference between not getting bullied and sneaking a few counters in and being clearly stronger on the side. From what I see Oh won the match with his usual rock solid BH-BH play and then punishing Togami on the step around and I don't find it really debatable that that was the main...

Well I'm talking about what was on display in this specific match not their forehands overall. I'd be curious to hear any analysis on how Oh dominating on the forehand side was the story of this match in particular.

You mean BH, not FH, right?

What is the context? Do we know why she withdrew? Do we know that it wasn't her doubles partner that withdrew?

I think they're similar level players, and if there is a difference then it isn't a "good distance".
