nope ODO won the internal selection tournament thats why she will be playing (Kenji MATSUDAIRA won the mens selection tournament)

I think mental strength is part of the rating. OP must accept that fact. One of my (french) team mates, lets call him E. has clearly mental problems. How can i be sure about that and his losses are not attributable to other problems ? well anyone can improve technically for sure but here are...

its a bit sad to not see the Miyus playing double together anymore. I don't get the Miwa + Kihara pair. Kihara isn't playing singles. It would have made more sense to let the leftie Nagasaki play with Miwa IMO if you really want to Miwa to play doubles.

Aim for the hole, easy !

Big weakness with Cybershape equipment. I always aim for the corner edges of the racket of my opponent

I would say I have the same problem. my own "rating" is not the one that i think i deserve, but numbers don't lie There is a cave-at as I'm in Japan and there is no official rating system, only some non-official round-robin type tournaments participate in a private initiative to make ratings...

kudos to her coach Sakamoto iirc

the thread about the guy looking to play WTT tournaments has been deleted ? self-destroyed or moderated ? what a waste of talent

after 1 month holidays in Europe, i started to practice again. Elbow is more painful than after 1 month without playing, so why not play ? maybe i'll actually feel better ?

i used to have Acoustic Inner and had T80 (FH) + D80 (BH) both 1.9mm at the time. i used to like it very much, but i wouldn't return to it now because i am able to handle faster stuff and use smash less than i used to do in FH due to injuries + playstyle change T80 plays faster for flat shots...

And depending on the incoming serve too !

only a few days ago, i could browse the site normally but i got the same security alert now (i regularly check for the Tip of the Week)

I lose

they had all their chances. they participated in the internal trials and never got far.

more and more i don't consider pushing as an isolated stroke, but as a combo. I practice : aggressive long push + pivot to get ready to counter immediately with FH the push will force the opponent to attack. the fact that i anticipate with a pivot puts pressure on the attacker as he sees me...

they are very good players but they know they can't make it to OG, and even getting a spot to WTTC is very tough for them

the total is the same so it must be spread more evenly... its socialism

@TensorBackhand are your loops going in the net or out ? or both ? also why not push back and let him attack first ? when you play a pusher, the most important thing is to keep moving all the time, more so than against an attacker. against an attacker, even when you're not moving, and reaching...

i don't know about USATT ratings, i don't live in US and never played there (and probably never will) i don't think Beast has got a USATT rating, he's based in UK.

A change is a new start. If you change the rubbers it can be the opportunity to change and upgrade your technique. Anyway there will be needs for adjustments. In my own case I played with slower equipment (Tibhar MK carbon with hybrid MK on FH and K3 BH) for a year. It forced me to change my...
