@Janard did some Googling as well and found this blog https://yarilog.com/equipment-japan-women/#toc6 https://yarilog.com/equipment-japan-men/ and indeed ABE Airi seems to be playing with LP (Curl P2 0x) Obviously CHEN XT was not at ease against a player with such an unusual setup

OMG ABE ! did she choke at the very end ? She missed a penalty on first match point ! and another one a bit later... Whats going on with CHEN XT ? Is she jet-lagged ? She performed really badly, seems she was very nervous as well, and she can only thank her opponent miss at the very end to win...

was exactly thinking the same

i may be wrong but I think its just short pips

CHEN XT is clearly having some problems in this match. Its going much slower than she's used to !

Harimoto is #1, Mizutani even if he's far from his peak, i believe he's still #3 at least. But who else if not Niwa ? Other players have been very inconsistent as well

LOL the Chinese player got home with 0-4 against the in-poor-form Harimoto

@zeio on the french forum, someone reports that Hayata is at the Bulgarian Open at her own expense, no support from JTTA. Any rumours that she went into trouble with her federation ?

i will try to see whats going on with Hina Maybe she was unhappy of not being selected, quarreled with her federation, and they punished her ???

I played for many years before with a Tibhar 4L and Mark V but I can’t remember much. It was a much slower setup for sure. I think you will like the ACI. I was doing everything better from the start with it except the BH loop. But I have a hard sponge and it’s difficult to get the good feeling...

@NL not what you are looking for, but i played with Korbel for more than 10 years, and I changed to Acoustic Carbon Inner which feels very similar but with more power without losing in control and enables more precise touch in the short game. Sounds bizarre ? but that's my feeling, i tested many...

they just want to spend some nice holidays

I can confirm I used to practice every week looping against backspin with my former coach. Pace is rather slow compared to some other exercises but it’s still demanding because footwork is important

to make an aggressive and vicious push with BH, here is the "tip" I received from my coach: add sidespin. against a ball coming from a pendulum serve (or same kind of spin), push the ball to the opponent's BH contacting the ball on the RIGHT, and you can even try to aim the short side of the...

quick footwork is key to be able to loop long pushes. you have to be early in a good position and not too close to the table. It helps being always in movement. Playing against a chopper or being fed multiball at a slow speed (like in matchplay vs a chopper) is an excellent exercise. Then...

Happy birthday Dan ! many thanks for your great job !

Oops ZHU Yuling once again disappoints her fans

i had a session with coach Oya today. The whole session was ok but not fantastic, I did a little bit of gym lately and i think my body was a bit tired. Nevertheless there were a few highlights today including my first ever Bobrow-snake ! During a rally there was little else that i could do, i...

Fantastic win !!!
