haven't watched yet Harimoto v Dima, it was during the night here Harimoto won last week in WTC when it mattered (even it was best of 5) Ok he lost today but 3-4 it doesn't seem like a disaster Dima is still an excellent player. Nothing to be too upset about for Harimoto

Kasumi is really playing very well in this match but its just not enough still

or a slimy one and call it Natto

nah, i love both ITO and HAYATA. I love also ISHIKAWA but please retire , Senpai ! actually ITO + HAYATA + ISHIKAWA could be the best team. I don't see why 2 lefties can't play doubles together

i think ITO is demonstrating that inverted rubbers are limited and pimples can do extraordinary things

Given ISHIKAWA will probably lose to WANG Yidi tomorrow, and looking at the draw, it is quite likely that ITO and HAYATA will meet in semis. Interesting... I really wish HAYATA takes this tournament. It is her chance now.

they already went back home LOL

Hayata should take Harimoto to her hotel room and man him up

it could mean 7 chinese male players (I think 6 because MA Long should be not in because of injury) and 11 female chinese players (I think 10 because DING Ning is injured) ! EDIT oops make it 6 chinese players (I think 5 because MA Long should be not in because of injury) BECAUSE WANG Chuqin...

Could you please translate ? what exactly are they saying about WCQ ?

I live in Minato but I’ve been once to Shibuya Sports Center a long time ago. I just remember it’s not very convenient to get there. In Japan there are not many « TT clubs » like there is abroad. Schools or universities will have their own facilities. Maybe some big companies sponsoring teams...

Glad it helped you TGS Maybe you’ve seen me there... I go to MSC 3 times a week

Some people said Austrian players were favored by the draw. Tell that to Hamamoto. Unless she is a second class Austrian citizen

wow i could become a coach !

From what i saw from Lily's recent matches is that her rally abilities, especially her BH are top-class but her serve/receive game is way below the top player's. She has to improve there if she wants to get to the next level

yes its 44mm balls. There are a lot of competitions with large balls here, its quite popular, especially among the elder TT players. the game is slower, even if you hit very hard, the ball won't go that fast...

i totally agree with OP. also its possible to get back 90% of net balls. Edges are much more difficult to get back though this is part of the game, and the player which is the most agressive with placement and spin will have the most edges and nets in his favour

here are some japanese channels https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0ML1BOQVPYv6GLOz854S7w https://www.youtube.com/user/LiliPingPongStudio

Many videos on YouTube For technique videos there are videos from the CNT, or Ma Long as well. Some good pros on Butterfly site. Ely Baratys vids are good too I watch a lot of Japanese videos as well. Or in French Notably for pimple players there’s a lot of resource in Japanese. Probably in...
