Well no Japanese player in the 21st century has a better international track record in singles. Mizutani still hold 10 national champs while Harimoto is stuck at 2, Mizutani is an olympic champ but only at mixed doubles. Harimoto won ITTF Grand finals, a WTT champions event, many other WTT...

oct 1st ? i will be playing in Minato sports center with the ace player of our team from 3 to 5pm who will give me a lesson.

please retire QIN Yunxuan

unfortunately it happens to me as well sometimes... its not always easy. OTOH sometimes we win matches against higher ranked players because they do the same mistake so perhaps it balances. the good answer is to play a lot of matches always try to be active and play the same. maybe adjust the...

after 2 weeks in Europe where i played very little, especially last 3 weeks (only once in Rome), i had a practice today with a coach in some provincial town in Japan. the venue is on top of a very long and steep staircase, Im sure no veteran is playing there... its in a hangar and it was damn...

Always great to have a friend or coach giving you actionable and decisive advice !

Ok I think I can talk a bit about this topic because BH and BH-to-BH is one of my relative strengths where I can challenge and often be better than much higher ranked players. I stand close to the table with a good stance and with BH early timing is essential with compact stroke to recover. I...

You practice to get a better BH than your opponent. , next question please

i went there today. I played with coach Luigi. he is a very good player and very friendly, we talked also a lot and he gave me a few tips i hope i can remember some of them. Luigi congratulated me and found me so "good" that he didn't want me to pay anything so I left without paying and...

its kind of you to give me this info. however im not an EJ, i tend to keep my blade for many many years. and i already have a spare one. as for the rubbers, i dont like to glue myself so i've been always going in-store to Kokusai Takkyu in Shibuya for more than a decade now... almost 2 ?

no you can come only on the 2 exact dates i gave you (monday 22 and 29 of sep) and it will be 700 yens. but you can play as long as you wish.

For Yokohama at the dates I gave you it’s free to play all day. Doubles singles whatever . On other dates it’s for other purpose not necessarily table tennis

Yes i can agree Hashimoto is a stronger player than Hayata overall but I think the matchup is not in her favor and she’d still lose to Hayata

if Hayata can play only 85-90% of her 2024 form she is still n2 in Japan, or maybe n1 as Miwa hasn't got the upper hand on her yet. She doesn't have any chance against SYS or WMY but who really does apart in-the-zone Miwa and perhaps some younger CNT players ?

https://www.yokohama-budokan.com/class/ on september 22 and 29 (both mondays) you can go to Yokohama Budokan. its a huge modern and fantastic venue, which is hosting TT sessions regularly. 700 yens you can play all day anytime from 9;30 to 20;30. highly recommended...

who is she

its a question of budget of course: if OP is a successful wall street or high-tech multi-(b/m)illionaire he can sure afford this for his kid. its the best solution.

Move to China Japan Korea or Taiwan the only other options… or pay someone from there to go to NY Plenty of choice there

Germany not realistic for me... i plan to compete next year at ITTF World Masters in Korea 2026 . hope to meet some of you though

1. always expect a long serve. if its short instead. you have more time to react. also, because you expect a long serve, expect to make a drive so knees and upper body bent forward. small swing but going forward and need to brush to the ball (use wrist). its about the timing and the stance. even...
