  1. Zhang Jike Shows You How to Boost and Glue Your Racket

    Do you have a link to the video? I can take a look. Drier air actually reduces the spin on the ball faster. Xinjiang and Yunnan are actually high altitude provinces like Colorado, with thinner air, which is the primary reason behind faster and spinnier balls but less dip as well, so you can't...

    Ahem, ZJK said air resistance and the sub is right.
  3. Zhang Jike Shows You How to Boost and Glue Your Racket

    吴汀/Wu Ting, manager of Haifu, shared some more back in 2016. Reproducing the post below. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/boost-like-the-cnt_topic80299.html Since the other thread is getting nowhere with the original question, I feel obliged to update the naughty folks on how the CNT boost...
  4. Zhang Jike Shows You How to Boost and Glue Your Racket

    In the original video, ZJK said "bigger and taller table tennis halls have resistance", literally (last link below). It's implied to mean air resistance so the sub is not wrong. He even followed it by saying the height of the ceiling typically determines the size of the hall and hence the...
  5. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    Could be a response to a series of move by ESN, Victas and Xiom. Calderano taking gold at World Cup 2025 and silver at WTTC 2025 likely pushed forward the release of Zyre-03. Togami taking MD gold at WTTC 2025 couldn't be better in terms of marketing, and Butterfly probably wants to ride the...

    For as long as Sha-Tou play and that China and Japan back WTT (and here). Therefore, beware of biting the hand that feeds you. The European market has been stagnant for years per ESN and Stiga.

    MS F Calderano 4-2 F. Lebrun (10, 13, -11, -8, 9, 6) Calderano nearly unraveled after Lebrun pinned him down in the short game (with the help of a few crucial nets in G3 and G4) and got back from 0-2 down in games but then Lebrun lost his flow after leading 4:1 in G5. It came down to Lebrun's...

    Are you sure you haven't signed up for Tieba? LOL The Tieba user who predicted the score for the MS F at WTTC 2025 also acknowledged his improvement in the short game but also noted that he never faced those players he had trouble dealing such as Felix and Moregard...

    Good to see Kihara and Nagasaki freeing themselves for the time being after getting stuck. Odo and Yokoi have some more work to do.

    I noted the fix he made to his game at the table before Paris 2024, namely ditching the 推挑/literally block-flick that he used to play a lot. It remains to be seen how he will respond once other players adapt.

    WS SF Kihara (14) 3-1 ZYL (9)(WC) (8, -4, 7, 5) Nagasaki (2W0L ZYL, both in 2019) probably gave her some pointers. MS SF Calderano (1) 3-2 A. Lebrun (6)(WC) (-11, -11, 8, 8, 6) Alexis to get back his position from Duda next week. I wonder what would've happened if PDR didn't block Duda's entry...

    Well, SXY's coaches had to defend her WTTC spot publicly and from the QQ comments it's clear the fans didn't sit well with one of their claims that "SXY is no slouch and is capable of overturning any main players of CNT". In retrospect, losing to Nagasaki in the JGT F (with QTY, SYS and WMY)...

    It does for me. Is the OP on your ignore list?

    I thought for a moment you were serious about picking up Chinese and became a Tieba user... LOL 单打为王的前提是你单打得是王 (The premise of "singles is king" requires that one be a king in singles first) https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9810727155 安洗莹【激战韩羽协...

    WS QF Nagasaki (16) 3-1 HZJ (12) (3, -6, 6, 7) SXY (11) 1-3 Kihara (14) (-7, 7, -6, -7) Indeed the 1st most unfortunate generation. What they have managed (especially the contribution to members of their own teams and other teams) under the shadow of the golden generation makes it hard to...

    As I noted in my previous post, it is not even about the match itself. The problem is Togami doesn't even have the qualification to challenge Harimoto in the 3 majors this early in the draw. Persson also said in a podcast that WCQ would've won if Moregard met him later in the draw at Paris 2024.

    Deja vu of MT F at WTTC 2022. Mizutani was right that some players can't be fixed. Togami was right to think he should've left it to Harimoto at WTTC 2025. Poor Harimoto got robbed of a potential MS medal. So thank you, Togami, for reinforcing my analysis. Shinozuka's win over Jorgic was...

    LGY of Japan. This would've been fatal in the 3 majors. Losing to WCQ and Moregard at WTTC 2022 and 2025 was within reason.
