I think rather Lin Yun-Ju has these capabilities than Harimoto to be honest.

Life has taught me that there are no certainties, and certainly not in table tennis.😀

True!

Mark my words, never. Not because he is not good but Harimoto has his limits and they will never become so good that he can overcome Wang especially since Wang is also a left-handed player.

Indeed, Harimoto will never win from Wang again and will stick to 1 win. Rather, it will be one of his teammates who will be able to win from Wang CQ

I think the Andro list is only for players from the German league.

I'am agree with this!

I am big fan of Darts, don't play it myself or only rarely for fun but I always watch all major championships live on television. Darts is so immensely popular thanks to live TV broadcasts, gambling sites and, of course, excessive alcohol consumption by spectators. However, I can't imagine that...

Were they to use an ELO ranking across the world, you would come to strange observations. In Belgium, there are 7 players with more than 2800 ELO points and even two players with more than 2900. Yet you never see them in the ITTF circus. Belgium_ELO-ranking

Definitely an Andro TP_Ligna CI Great blade with a lot of feeling!

Now we know where the illegal services come from at the Lebrun's...🤣

Lol, but no cards for unregulated services. It should not get any crazier. I haven't seen many Goa matches yet but at the European top 16, there were players (and it's always the same ones) whose +75% of their services were illegal. No umpire dared to give a reprimand or card for this. Pure...

Mmmm, Indeed, it looks like the ELO calculation: ELO-rating. Thank you very much for your explanation. About above 2200-player. I am very disappointed in his ability. He does not give any signal of his level of what he should perform according to his ranking. If I compare our best player...

Best club in your city? Really? When I see your writing ie your club can't exactly be called a good example. Every self-respecting club has one or more trainers and should offer training to starting and/or youth players. If I were you, I would speak to one of the directors or look out for...

I have no idea about the grading system in America or Canada but how should I read/understand a 2200 level? I suppose they are not comparable to ELO points?

Use your thumb, dry. If it goes really hard, dab your thumb in acetone each time and rub it over the glue until it is dry. Normally, the glue should "roll up".

I played for a while with Rakza Z (FH) and Rakza 7 soft (BH) on an Andro TP_Ligna CI. Both are really very good rubbers with the properties described above. Still, we went back to our old compound. In my opinion, two underrated rubbers, namely: on my FH a Gewo Hype XT Pro (for grip > spin and...

I think it has to be mostly a combination of everything you list above. Combine that with innate talent and there is a future in you (overall). Otherwise, it will be hard, very hard work.

I don't think so. We trained with wristbands a lot between the '75s > '85s. The only purpose was to generate speed when we played without wristbands, not to create more power. In those days, strength was of secondary importance, that only came much later.

I tried to watch the match via the horrible live stream. Shame on WTT! Let me clarify, I am neither anti Harimoto nor at all pro Tomokazu. What that boy has achieved at a very young age is phenomenal, meanwhile he has stagnated a bit and even had a much lesser period. As far as I can see, he...
