  1. ❓What Is Your Setup, and WHY?

    Is the year 2021? Can you name a single other example that didn't retire 4 years ago? Not to mention that he likely had a harder version that plays much similar to commercial D05.
  2. ❓What Is Your Setup, and WHY?

    Considering it was the long-time choice on both sides for several of the best players in the world who play far from table a lot...
  3. ❓What Is Your Setup, and WHY?

    Why do you think that no top players use it if there is no weakness?

    Trivia Question: An 18-year-old CNT player loses to Daniel Gorak, a player who was never particularly excellent on the world stage, peaking at WR 52 in 2015, nearly a decade after he beats this 18-year-old CNT player. Seems like grounds for giving up on that player. Who is this player?
  5. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    It is common knowledge that young players, even CNT ones, who recently entered the professional scene will have a loss to a veteran non-Chinese player at some point early in their career. It doesn't become a problem for their career until it becomes a recurring issue over a longer period of...

    But Walther just 3-0'd Duda who has recently 3-0'd and beat main players of Team China. But ok.
  7. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    I will rephrase my question. Do you think its possible that Walther is in fact a good player and that it isn't a shame to lose to him?
  8. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    Should followers of Duda give up on him after this loss?
  9. Lifespan of a blade?

    As everyone has said, especially due to water based glues and general moisture absorption, it absolutely gets slower and softer. Many top players change their blades fairly frequently once they feel it has softened too much.

    What is your definition of over the hill? She can probably still maintain a level good enough for North and Pan American standards which may be all she wants at this stage...
  11. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Koyo: 25 Guo: 26 Olah: 33 These are the players who probably get retained in Season 3, maybe some others, though I am fairly sure Mathieu, Pryschepa, Wensheng Wei, and Jishan will be gone.

    That is the case for most people whether they play flatter or more with spin... Amy and Lily mainly have the same issue of relying on backhand dominance for too long, and while Moyland doesn't have that, she does have health issues they don't have. Moyland did the majority of her training in...
  13. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    Are you giving up on Benedikt Duda after his awful 0-3 loss to Walther in Singapore Smash?

    The switch was pretty recent so it takes a lot more time to change the way you've played your entire life, but I don't see this experiment really lifting her ceiling much, maybe it can raise her floor...

    Digging into Pitchford's current season Pro A results a bit more. He has 6 losses on the season which are: Geraldo Katsman Alexis Felix Sun Wen Quadri Alexis and Felix seems expected, I would say Sun Wen too. Quadri is not a surprise either. So we are left with Geraldo and Katsman as his...

    I've never heard of NDAs being involved in any MLTT contract discussions that I'm aware of (or if they exist they get violated all the time) but if you are referring to Huang Yan Cheng I think he's a great player with potential and I'm excited to see him join the league, but I wouldn't say that...

    Who from Taiwan is beating Pitchford without a problem though? LYJ, Kao, Feng, Huang Yancheng, Kuo?
