if you find a way, please tell me !more seriously, i've been a very bad server for decades... because... i never practiced it !now i'm practicing more regularly, im finally getting a bit better...I think just try and try until you find something you do well, then try to do it better. There are...

when i go to a tournament, i need a tshirt for the warm-up only as i get too sweaty really quickly...

For info, the video posted by Zwill features Kazuhiro CHAN, a Japanese player from Chinese origin. He once lost in the national champs final to Mizutani, and had a small apparition in the National Team. @loerting 1) i think you should focus on the timing by forcing you to focus on the bounce...

Hi Loerting a lot of good comments already Here are mine(+) FH has good power with full swing (+) good touch, especially with BH. Good spin. One excellent sidespin BH block winner. the FH push going down the line is a good shot too. (-) a lot of BH push miss on receive. really with the BH...

yes, i use Tenergy80 (red) on FH and Dignics80 (black) on BHil play 3-4 times a week, and T80 starts to wear after 2months. the rubber becomes translucid, i can start to see the pimples in, and the rubber loses a lot of its grip. Personally its for serve thats its the most annoying for me...

I don't know anything about China, and much about UK either. But i did spend a couple years in London and if your level is beginner / intermediate, in London, I can recommend you Chris Beckley, a very kind and dedicated coach, he won the Male Volunteer of the Year Award [it doesn't mean his...

ah ok it makes sense. HARIMOTO won the TOP32 event on the Men's side.

a 2-day selection tournament was organized for the Asian Champs 2022 to be held in September. Those happen every 4 years. on the Men's side, Maharu YOSHIMURA won the event vs TOGAMI in the final. On the Women's side, Miu HIRANO won against KIHARA 4-0. They both will represent Japan in the...

in UK or in China ? those 2 countries are a bit apart

Look for Kyoka IDESAWA. she was the Junior Champion in Japan in 2019 and in the same year became a World Team Junior Champion, although she lost her 2 matches against China in the final.she's using a Victas V102 (2mm) on FH and Curl P5V (0x) on BH She is not quite a defensive player, but she...

actually i went to a ChessBoxing match when I was in London, it was quite fun. i also remember the Russian girl i was with on a date on that day... so we do TT + Boxing or TT + Chess ?

The trench battle was too fierce, and HAN Ying got injured. KIHARA takes the singles title, after taking the doubles ! what a performance !

it would be a pity if Aruna doesn't win this tournament after beating 3 Chinese. This tournament MUST be his

i am only a recreational chess player with an online rating but i have a masters degree in statistics, although that was several decades ago, and i've not been using much of it in my job. If Ratings were the truth they would never adjust. its just an assessment, with very well defined rules...

I think she has room to improve her RC from 39 to 17-32 , and her WR will fall in that range as well. both will converge. some asian players will have retired, making room for her, but maybe some others will sneak in as well. I think also she won't be that lucky in her next draws, earning her...

Ranking only is a number you get from all existing past information. the beauty of RC Elo system, is that when new info (= new match results come in), RC ratings adjusts. Thats the Bayesian way of thinking. Very recommended if you want to win at poker, sportsbetting or stock market or make...

No Chinese player in singles semis, both men and women, when was that last seen??? (when there were so many on the starting line !) a lot of non-Chinese top players weren't there as well, so its difficult to explain ! The world has finally catched up with China B and C teams, or was that the C...

If you're looking for a coach with unconventional technique, look at my coach ! yeh but I agree, sometimes you just look at Aruna FH he looks clumsy, but when you look at the ball he's just hit, its just wow...

going back to the tournament, ARUNA is on fire, he's taken his revenge from LIU Dingshuo, and now has beaten ZHAO Zihao. well you'll see ARUNA's RC rating adjust quickly after those 2 performances against higher rated players... I have watched ARUNA yet not at this tournament (busy these days)...
