actually if you followed my previous posts, its the 3rd time for me that i have the opportunity to have Mizutani on the other side of the table. Once was when our team was featured in a TV program, and basically i was aced twice (or thrice ?), next at a similar pre-Tleague match event where he...

it was the Mizutani serve challenge. He was not supposed to play the point and he never even tried to put the table back to the few people who managed to get it back so while I prepared myself well to receive, i wasn't at all in the mindset of playing the point but tbh i do the same mistake in...

her FH was very good. it felt like she has a good reach, as she is a bit taller than Hirano and what i felt was very good about her FH was her placement. she often managed to find good angles to put the ball very wide on the FH side and out of reach of Hirano, or to play straight as well, to...

I was in the crowd and saw the match… Hirano was totally outplayed by Yokoi

so i went to watch TLeague today, a Women's match between Kinoshita and Kyoto. All matchups were fantastic. Miyus came back in G3 to win the doubles at deuce while the first 2 games were split 11-10 at the golden point. Next, Sakura YOKOI trashed Miu HIRANO with great class 3-0. Is it really...

Today I played Mizutani

He’s explaining his choices on videos on his channel. But many pros prefer the harder rubber on BH. Kenta is sponsored by Tibhar. Actually he is the CEO of Tibhar Japan

Yes. I have Kenta Matsudaira 2023 setup. All Tibhar. MK carbon with Hybrid MK on FH and Hybrid K3 on BH (both max) But I think he upgraded to Hybrid MK Pro

relax also the body, not just the arm

Try to become consistent with receive and 3rd ball, then 4th and 5th ball… If yes , I should win many more matches. The main goal is to perform well at World Veteran in Rome and by that i just mean getting to the main draw and playing some matches that I would be proud of. [tbh it looks like a...

yep i attended the event, and in session 1 i was seated near a young HK girl (with her mom ?). She told me she was a huge fan of TT although she didn't play at all. she was sitting in a VIP seat in session 2. The Chinese crowd was much louder than the locals.

played the last tournament of the year today, in a homogenous league of 8 players, with 4 round robin. despite some improvements in practice, in match i have not done well this year, losing ranking points, and many matches that i should have won were lost. this time im seeded 3rd out of 8. R1...

Will she retire I dont think she will coach. She’ll just become a mom

Han Ying match had breathtaking rallies it’s incredible how much she retrieved and her attacks and spinny counters were deadly Wang Manyu put a very impressive performance against a very good Yang Xiaoxin. Her technique is so beautiful to watch and she seems much more fit IRL than on TV In the...

Some photos of the venue. More to come later. The most exciting match to watch this morning was Han Ying against Joo. There was only real suspense in game 1 but it is wonderful to see Wang Manyu play. Her technique is just so perfect.

I'll be in Nagoya on Friday ! i will be able to see all the 8 matches ! i hope I can get a photo with Bernadette but it will be difficult i don't have a premium seat...

I've doubted Adriana Diaz for a long time here, but i must admit she has something special and has been improving a lot this year. PLUS she's a bad ass and exciting to watch

I'm very bad with these balls. my main problem is that when i step to the ball, its a bit slow AND im not staying low. then i play the ball with upper body too high / too far from the ball, and rushing it so now you know what NOT to do, here is how I try to get better: - when moving to the...

look better, 7 CNT players. you could be forgiven to add HAN Ying, YANG Xiaoxin, and JOO Cheonhui to them as ex-CNT players. and based on the gene pool, add Miwa HARIMOTO

I'd like to know too... lol... i think there's really 2 different things: - be able to read the serve (not only spin but length) - know how to receive when you have read the serve well (or read it "ok") for the second item, ask your partner to serve always the same serve and you try different...
