I've been training a lot recently. I've been focusing much less on classical FH and BH drills and much more on my main weaknesses: - short game technique (stop, push, nagashi, flick) - short game footwork: moving to the ball quickly and getting quickly back into positions for both i also do...

Samsonov would surely have traded his 20 wins for just 1 win in WTTC 1997

not a recommendation but i play with nittaku acoustic inner T80 and D80 both in 1.9mm and i am very happy with it

i don't think the form is particularly bad, it looks ok to me. maybe you are overthinking it the main impression that i have is that you are not pushing yourself hard enough. you are young, you should try to be much more dynamic with your footwork, bounce after hitting the ball, and try to use...

nice vid ! 2 lefties against each other !

and Oikawa is his training partner, its always a special encounter i can beat some of teammates which are stronger players than me, and I'm beating them much more often than i should given the difference in level. because we know each other. We can see the real difference when i keep losing all...

Harimoto has not performed well in these championships, but we mustn't forget he had a strong showing last month. Its always a special tournament, which comes just after the New Year holidays, where there is a lot of pressure, Harimoto said he wasn't fit physically, as he could not recover well...

well Oikawa won his ticket for the WTTC singles (if they ever happen) with this win

the Men's final was very entertaining to watch OIKAWA saved an incredible match point in the 6th... what a player !!! he won against the whole JNT , Yoshimura (Maharu), Harimoto, Yoshida (Masaki) and finally Morizono

can't believe ITO lost this match ! she was 3-1 ahead and it seemed like no trouble ahead !

The Citizen girl is Keiko KITAGAWA. Her surgeon(s) did a very good job.

KIHARA seems super strong this year , be careful

I'm sure they were tired and Timo was not 100%. but an official game is an official game. No one wants to lose (or not win) ranking points, or a in a big tournament YOSHIMURA was playing well on that day, and Timo had a lot of troubles receiving I can remember that. not as valuable as a victory...

yeh all those teams are tough for Japan, but I think Japan has a decent chance against everyone of them. As for Boll, well in the last team event, it was Team World Cup in Tokyo, he lost 0-3 to Maharu YOSHIMURA. it was a minor event, more like a warm-up event for the Olympics, still the ITTF...

yeh for Japan, silver for Women's Team, and Gold or Silver in Mixed Doubles (ITO / MIZUTANI) is the most optimistic+realistic outcome although one can't really blame Harimoto. He's played really well last month in China. He said he was tired which I believe. He's only a kid, and he's studying...

yes its him but there are no doubles this year

he is using a Mizutani ZLC blade + D80 max on both FH and BH try this link tomorrow daytime in Japan http://live.jtta.or.jp/watch/11999 not sure it will work but please try

no after winning his 10th crown Mizutani announced his retirement from this competition 2 years ago. He ended on the best possible note. although he played in doubles last year but he was knocked out early. Many matches on this YouTube Channel...

tks v much Apacible

my coach OYA lost in his first match (round 2) to a junior player, just like last year. I feel sad for him, he's only a shadow of the extraordinary player he was just a few years ago and he's only 32. His level dropped so much but he can't train anymore... he's got to make a living with...
