  1. Swedish Open 2019

    yes during the 2nd set, Mizutani was really on fire, I haven't seen him like this for a long time but it wasn't enough; Mizutani missed too many opportunities
  2. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    then good news indeed for Hayata !
  3. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    the files on the site suggest they do a ranking survey once a year only, so a drop of WR between surveys shouldn't matter
  4. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    uh ? on jtta site http://www.jtta.or.jp/player/tabid/230/Default.aspx, i can see that Hayata was #5 on JNT list in 2018, now she is still in the list in 2019 but as #6. It makes little sense that Hayata was on the list last year but didn't participate in any of the big competitions, what is...
  5. Swedish Open 2019

    too busy with the girls
  6. Swedish Open 2019

    good fight from HAMAMOTO. She's got some really good things for her, but her footwork is comparatively really slow and under par, I think thats why she misses so many FH.
  7. Swedish Open 2019

    HAMAMOTO is putting her right foot in front of her left foot in her waiting position when receiving. Thats quite unusual, i can't think of another pro doing it.
  8. Swedish Open 2019

    Who watched Ishikawa's match ? yet another huge disappointment... not surprising alas for all her followers on this forum
  9. World Team Cup 2019

    I’m also surprised to see Niwa at the bottom of the list although he’s got a good WR ranking

  11. World Team Cup 2019

    Why only 4 female players ????
  12. Where on bat do you hit the ball?

    as someone said above, it depends on the shot, and the incoming ball ! for drive, i think 4 is the safest option for many players up to quite a high level. hitting a bit farther from the center will give extra spin, but less control, and the risk of hitting the edge of the racket increases a...
  13. Hard rubber/blade only for pro's?

    Personally i'm playing with a hard rubber on BH. Only recently i think I "mastered" it (relatively, at my level). Its much more difficult to make a shot against backspin, and its not forgiving a bad footwook. If you are not right positioned or still in movement, its really easy to miscontact the...

  16. Etiquette question

    in Japan, at amateur levels, an edge ball or net is welcomed by a joyful "ラッキ!!" to be pronounced "Rakki" [from "lucky" in English"] its a way of expressing at the same time your joy, and letting know to the opponent that point had luck to do with it . No need to apologize ! :-)
