Tbh you are not really anti WTT so much as just anti China in general - because you pretty much spout all the same anti-China talking points i hear all the time. I am not even mainland Chinese lmao but i can see through all the double standards and hypocrisy here. If you hate it so much just...

Tony clearly have a pro West and anti China agenda here and the majority of his posts are all political agenda posts. It's like the guy who likes to say I'm not racist but then goes on to spew a whole load of actual racist statements.. If Tony is allowed to post stuff like that, I can also post...

Regardless of what shot you choose, i believe the correct way is to land on the left foot, and then push off the right foot to recover back to the table in a balanced position - from that position you can do BH or FH. Pechpong had an excellent video on it See 2:32 here

Yes you are completely right on all points. I guess the loop vs backspin thing is also maybe an illusion. I was testing my own stroke too and I am also increasingly doubtful that loop against backspin is spinnier. It is just that it is easier to generate high spin to speed ratios with opening...

Regardless of what you do, you must always land on left foot, with the left foot in front of right. If your right foot is in front you must have over rotated and this would greatly affect recovery in a negative way...

If you search for "spin theory" on TTD you will see the thread.

MS already decided earlier it is WCQ and FZD.... the rest are way too far behind to even join the competition

Glad to see someone on the forum actually thinking about advanced TT. I posted about this some time back. It is super easy to get jammed if you serve reverse pendulum and try to pivot on 3rd ball. The opponent goes against the spin with the BH receive and the sidespin is curving to your BH which...

Weird conspiracy theory but they were not in control of Manika Batra vs Wang Manyu which was the deciding factor at the end.

I can see it, but this is a weird agenda on a TTD post lol

I actually drilled this a lot. So the key here is if you do any crossover step and rotate mid air, you must land on your left foot, not the right. So you essentially push off right foot and land with left foot with body facing slightly left (post rotation) regardless of the circumstances. If you...

I find that with Vis if you do the hit then brush thing with the wrist all the balls are going out of the table - it is really fast af. I find that I have to divide the work very clearly. Arm is for brushing - body to generate the impact force. I look at some of the fast blade players and they...

This is why I think Dignics is just easier to play and less physically taxing. It makes the game more fun for me lol

Exactly. To me, amateur ratings are kinda useless sometimes and being obsessed with it is a great way to lose the joy of playing the game. At least over here down under ppl are less insufferable about ratings thankfully.

yep just play with LP OX or antispin and watch everyone suffer as they play you...

Nice... but this proves that the ratings cannot really be trusted well - i've seen some way better players posted who are just 2000 that would completely destroy this player esp some of the juniors. But maybe i'm overestimating the 2000 level...

not just yesteryears, if you watched Wang Chuqin play it is the same style. Serve and FH loopkill the 3rd ball. Easier said than done tho!

Although those were some nice points - you could improve further by simply committing to looping all those long serves / pushes. The pushes you were doing against those obviously long balls would be complete cannon fodder for better players. If you miss the loop, simply adjust for the spin and...

watched Sun Yingsha lose against Chen Meng - it was Tokyo Olympics deja vu yet again. If Chen Meng takes a step back to give herself more time - Sun Yingsha's BH is just not powerful enough to hit the ball past her, nor is it spinny enough to pose problems to Chen Meng's defence. And then from...

not really - see Athens 2004 for e.g... you're forgetting that there's also internal battles with more players per country. Some of the players with stronger styles against foreigners might be beaten by some who are weaker, then the upsets happen. Also, it would mean that more unknown players...
