Yes, they do it all the time. The specific term in Chinese is 立短 (literally stand-short), which has slowly dropped out of use in recent years. Another one is 切短 (literally chop-short), which Kihara uses a lot in doubles. [url unfurl=false]https://youtu.be/1eivp8a8Kkc?t=251[/url] [url...

And how funny he said this thread was dormant (when in fact pongfugrasshopper bumped it up before he started his own), just because he chose to ignore the OP and hence couldn't see it anymore.

The old Togami showed up in G2.

Riley got the gist of what Zhang Rui told DHK during the TO in G2, that she should not back off from the table after the serve and instead should stay close and keep the pressure up, then either BH rip a killer to SYB's BH and call it a day, or stay in the point, play to SYB's middle and spin it...

Liu Heng told XP after G2 to push back those backspin serves that he kept trying to open with the chiquita and to loop to Felix' middle and make it spinny as hell. XP executed much of it and got G3. In the TO during G4, Liu Heng reminded XP to keep it simple and receive with the push instead...

Yuan Jia Nan was quite a bit slower than her usual self in today's match.

Like Harimoto said about his own game, LYJ will have to adapt his as well for LA 2028.

LYJ's result here will have a huge impact on his WR next month. Dropping out of the top 10 is inevitable. The question is how big his drop will be.

Just grab the Cybershape Allround Classic for starters if the Cybershape series piques your interest. Cybershape Wood looks to have the same construction as the Cybershape Carbon except for the 2 layers of synthetic fiber. The latter 2 will feel and play differently...

I don't know about you but it is still the year 2024 on my calendar.

Getting creamed 1:11, 2:11, and 3:11 by LSD at China Smash 2024 really helped Duda turn over a new leaf.

Given Matsushita and Nakamura have expressed that Japan is the most important market to them as a Japanese brand and how their focus is to become No. 1 in Japan first before expanding into the rest of the world, it's going to take a while before that happens. FWIW, their sales in Europe have...

After the impressive performance in 2023 and 2024, it's difficult to imagine that Paranang has actually lost more than she has won so far in 2024 (21W27L, this one included). The last time was back in 2018. Took out IND and made KOR (host) sweat at ATTC 2023...

Freitas knew how to play Alexis. 3W0L before this. Alexis could very well have lost again if not for the home crowd.

Can the crowd help Pavade get past SHW? Pavade has more trouble handling the higher chops, especially those more than 2 times the net height. That changed the tone of the match after G3. Could be dangerous if it stretches to G5. G4 75 to 711, 6 in a row?

The French fanboys can give the Chinese fangirls a run for their money.

When it comes to Stiga, there are essentially 3 timeless models that serve as the prototypes for all subsequent models (mostly different choice of top plys e.g. hardwood like Ebony; Rosewood; Walnut, and with 2 layers of syntheic fiber added e.g. 5+2; 7+2). 5-ply Allround Classic...
