  1. Li Sun: It's Time to Shift Our Thinking of Ito

    @Glaxdu this is by the way not just my opinion but also the opinion of my coach which is an ex-pro and ex-JNT player. ZJK is attracting a lot of money from sponsors and it was unimaginable not to line him up. Fact. He had already some embarrassing losses just before Rio to some foreign...
  2. ITTF star awards

    my votes: FAN Zhendong, ITO Mima and Timo Boll vs LJK XX shot against Fegerl is fantastic and i would have voted for it if the award had been called "SHOT OF THE YEAR" but for the "POINT of THE YEAR", I think Timo BOLL's point is more incredible because there's not ONE but many amazing shots...

    my session yesterday was really excellent. I had a good warm up, did some FH drills , then 2/2, performed well those, and had really good feeling. So i played my buddy who's stronger than me, but H to H, i'm better than him, and i beat him much more often than i should, and yesterday i was in...

    Hi Boogar, I've watched a bit your videos but not the whole of them because it was quite long and I think i've grasped already a lot of things for you to think about First of all, i remember your first videos and you have definitely improved a huge lot. (+) I am very impressed by your...

    I'm serious. Before Rio2016, ZJK was already plagued with injuries and his level dropped to #10-20 ranked player. China took a great risk making him play, and no i don't know why they didn't let FZD or XX play instead in singles. XX did lose to Mizutani in the team's even finals, but really...

    They have many players still relatively young (in their early twenties) who would be number 1 player in many countries, but have no chance to ever compete in the big championships for the JNT because of the younger star players. MORI Sakura, MORIZONO Misaki, HAMAMOTO Yui, KATO Kyoka (injured ...
  7. Li Sun: It's Time to Shift Our Thinking of Ito

    difficult to know exactly what ITO thinks, but I would think she's more disappointed with ISHIKAWA's attitude against the Chinese than her technical skills. She keeps choking again and again, especially when its tight at the end of a set

    thanks so much again @zeio for your subbed translations !
  9. Li Sun: It's Time to Shift Our Thinking of Ito

    I think ITO lacks power in top spin play due to her size, she can't win long topspin rallies, but if she dominates with her BH she can go for the quick FH kill when a chance arises

    and time is more on Hirano's side than Ishikawa. despite all the Ishikawa bashing, she is very very consistent against all non-Chinese players, and I think she also won her most recent encounters against ITO and HIRANO ! so I believe she will still be a key member of the JNT team. The only...
  11. Li Sun: It's Time to Shift Our Thinking of Ito

    Not sure its the right reason, but I've read or heard somewhere that the main tactical change against Hirano was to push long with heavy backspin and she is struggling with that: consistency down on those balls or easy balls to counter from this kind of play. She has yet to found the answer but...
  12. Austrian Open 2018

    HIRANO made it , HIRANO made it perhaps it will give some belief to ISHIKAWA next time, she was 2-0 and 10-8 up against DN before collapsing...
  13. Optimal area of the paddle to flat hit?

    i think for drive or looping, open racket angle helps as well
  14. Optimal area of the paddle to flat hit?

    I think for safety, unless you're a pro or advanced player, whether loop or flat hit, its better to hit the middle of the paddle
  15. Li Sun: It's Time to Shift Our Thinking of Ito

    its about politics and sponsors, ZJK wasn't really 100% fit for RIO still he took the spot, [and made it to the finals but took "only" an equally Samsonov in semis], it was even worse for WTTC in 2017 but at least there were 4 other spots. So if she stays at the current level of performance...
  16. Austrian Open 2018

    Come on, Mima, keep on the beast mode, now please crush everyone 4-0 including DN and LSW !!!
  17. Li Sun: It's Time to Shift Our Thinking of Ito

    well Miu HIRANO beat 3 top Chinese players as well in the Asian Champs 2017. DING / LIU are starting to get older as well, so slightly getting less faster. Not a lot, but at this level, very tiny things make a lot of difference. Their game also seems a bit struggling against the new styles...
