Well, I don’t know, I’m far from a fan of Harimoto’s playing style and his screams 😆. I think his early success in tournaments was based on speed, which he doesn't have now. In return for speed, he gained invaluable experience. Yes, experience is very important and if you want to play better...
FZD could if he was in shape. But apparently he celebrated the New Year holidays well... LYJ could have, but he was also out of shape in this tournament. Ma Long will probably no longer be able to compete with WCQ. The Year of the Dragon will finally take the dragon Ma from the tennis Olympus...
Well, we can sum it up. Wang was in excellent form at this tournament and won everyone very convincingly. Only Felix could at least oppose him with something. It's a shame that the meeting between these players took place at the very beginning of the tournament...
By the way, it would be interesting to see in real life the speed of the ball from Ti Long’s hit. The camera does not convey this speed. In the video where Dan measured the speed of Dmitry Ovcharov's shot, the ball seems to fly faster than in the video of Ti Long.
I think that WCQ should meet FZD in the final. This will be somewhat reminiscent of the fights between Ma Lin and Wang Liqin.
Also judging by the quick semi-finals, the final should be a real fight.
What happened in Frankfurt with Lin Yun Ju was unexpected and even incredible for many. It also incredible looks now Tomokazu's victory in this tournament. If he does this, then I will take off my hat and will never again be indignant about his heart-rending screams!
Great question, @mil! I'm also looking for something similar that could replace the chinese sticky rubbers on the forehand, but not the Butterfly.
To be honest, I am very surprised by the inertia of table tennis equipment manufacturers. After 20 years of H3 dominance, it was already possible to...
Yes you are right. There is no rubber for the backhand and rubber for the forehand, but there is a combination of rubber that allows us to compensate for our physiological characteristics. All people have a shorter movement on the backhand and for most it is also weaker than the movement on the...
A more logical move compared to Rosena would be to switch to Glazer. Its more adapted to the new ball and is aimed at backhand play at the amateur level.
All the rubbers that you initially indicated will work well on the backhand, taking into account the harder rubber on the forehand. You may...
If this funny guy with glasses, who trains with his brother, beats the top chinese players at a big competition, then these serious-looking mens will be in big trouble. It’s probably better to just not notice it, it’s a calmer life.
