there is not really a national ranking. Rather, they use the result of the national championship as a ranking; So its updated once a year only....

I used to go to a lot of tournaments where the level was too high for me, its K.O. from the start, its far from home, there is warmup with 12 people on the same table at 9am, i get called only 1pm , I lose 0-3 to a much stronger player. It just ain't fun. its even less fun if its 0-3 to a guy...

@JeffM yes not very fun to spend all your day at a tournament for only 3 matches and just 1 singles on top of that. As for me, i had also a mini round-robin tournament 4 rounds at a TT school. I finished with a 3W 1L record, lost only to one of the coaches (BH SP) 0-3 but I played very decently...

Hard and Tacky === SpinArt from Butterfly, thats what I use. I think you will like it. Dignics is good as well. Tenergy hard might also be for you, but I've not tried it.

I haven't eaten a 5000USD melon in Japan, but I've probably tasted maybe 200-500USD ones. At posh restaurants they would serve you just one or two bites of it. The quality of food in Japan is incredibly high. Fruits are taken care piece per piece by the producer. They use all the chemicals and...

i know AP17 in Paris (near Porte de Saint Denis). They should be open this summer. The president of the club is Chinese. His FB is Luc Td (Saint-Ouen, Ile de France) with a photo of a baby. There are some good players but the overall level is not very high Be also aware that during summer...

very nice review Dan, and you are blessed to have been training with Timo himself ! Wow ! You do play very well and thats the most impressive video i've seen of you, i liked the FH shot to your middle where you aimed his FH corner and congratulated yourself , awesome ! Personally i haven't...

who are this joebttler and susanc replogle ? this is a scam !!! the event is over, it took place in April 2019, there are no more tickets to buy

i play a lot of 40s tournament here and i can see as well the styles from other categories well people often play as they always have, so i see for example a lot of short pips penholders. I see also LP players, maybe they got there because of age. I can still see some defenders !!! these guys...

Coach Oya taught me two nice BH receives against short serves (from right-hand player, I'm right-hand as well) which are rather easy to execute always step in to the ball and time the ball early - to make an agressive long push against the pendulum serve, the head of the racquet is forward...

NI is happy like it was her first win !!! a medal at 55 years old is nothing short than amazing !!! very inspiring !!!! How long ago was her last medal ???

I was in poor form today in the club playing with my usual buddies. The only good thing was that I beat an old guy who crushed me 3-0 last time. He has very very tricky serves that I couldn't receive well, (or he even aced me more than once !) and it was the same story in game 1, but i managed...

PUCAR is gonna win this tournament

I'm seeing trampoline, not TT on that slovakian link

NI YU YANG LI HAN all qualified for 1/4 finals. Is this a Chinese provincial championship ?? One could be easily mistaken

@Richie please forget what I said, i think Lula and NL spotted things much better than me. I'm curious to see a whole game. Are you able to play a whole match like that ? and what does it take to win against you ?

ok i'm going to emit some small critic though. I feel sometimes you play your FH while going back at the same time. but somehow you manage to make a (very) good shot even in this situation. Also sometimes your left foot goes in front of you when hitting a FH, that results in a loss of power...

yes, Richie almost looks like Timo at times :-) classical TT for a leftie but impressive. low arc and lots of spin with that FH, very difficult to control for the other guys.

I hope the JNT coaches will find a way to have the best possible team, even if it means tweaking the rules

By the way, what is the situation for the JNT Men's team. #1 spot seems guaranteed for HARIMOTO NIWA went to last 8 in WTTC earning him a lot of points, but he didn't do well in the last ITTF Opens. Is there a chance for MIZUTANI to make it to #2 spot still ?
