  1. Generating power very far from my body on backhand

    You could cock your wrist some more during the backswing to create some more space to accelerate during the forward swing, exactly like that shawdow swing at 1:28 of Backhand 3.mp4. That shadow swing made excellent use of the stretch-shortening cycle to create explosive power.

    2.10.1.9 (moving the playing surface) is not strictly enforced nowadays, whereas 2.10.1.10 (touching the net assembly) and 2.10.1.11 (touching the playing surface) should be. https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/HMO-17th-edition-July-2023.pdf

    Like always, besides the German media from May this year, you now have even more people to convince. Deutschlands Bester: Duda sieht „Potenzial nicht am Ende“ (Germany's best: Duda sees "potential not at an end")...
  7. Prithika Pavade signs long-term sponsorship deal with GEWO

    Gewo had actually been struggling for several years and it seems they got new investment (a loan?) in 2022 to turn things around.

    New WD partner (could be temporary). CIC's WD partner used to be Li Yu-Jhun starting from the Paris 2024 cycle and up until WTT CT Buenos Aires 2025. Got some solid results but then Chien Tung-Chuan crashed the party (which I foreshadowed over at MyTT), displacing Chen Szu-Yu from the WS to WT...

    Look, as the comments I quoted showed, 5ch users were split on what Hashimoto meant in that interview, hence my stance to reflect that as well. And save this "gospel" thing for yourself whenever you fail to come up with a sound counterargument.

    Coming from someone who questions Mizutani's comments. Once again, Japanese is a high-context language and more often than not what they say are so convoluted it is open to interpretations. When Ito, who is known for speaking her mind, suggested she would not play WT if she didn't secure WS...

    Continuing from WTT SCT Chennai 2025 (with the transfer announced right after that on 4/1), Odo, Yokoi and Sato still have had double the opportunities of Hashimoto. Since their restart in mid-2024, Odo is now approaching 3 times and Yokoi is 2 times the WS events of Hashimoto. Even Sato is...
