I didn't do that great in competition, i had really only two or three wins i can really be proud of, some defeats i can be proud of as well like going to the fifth when i was a huge underdog, or losing to a youngster who won the tournament. nearly every point was awesome and had applause from...

you are a complete Troll and i'm just trying to stay polite. you cannot compare Li Ping and Harimoto. nor Kaii Yoshida. Harimoto parents are Chinese but he's lived in Japan since he is a baby, he goes to the Japanese public elementary school and he speaks perfect Japanese. He trains in Japan...

so what ? a few years ago it was enough to beat other nations, now its not. Harimoto is clearly a phenomenon, one can have the biggest expectations for him. The Japanese players are still young. Miu HIRANO is losing to many Chinese players in the Chinese league but she is playing with them...

wow, it looks more and more like we will see less and less of Fukuhara in the JNT, maybe her time is already over... she said she just wants to become a good housewife... http://www.ittf.com/2016/12/25/roles-changed-ai-fukuhara-still-chooses-table-tennis/

for girls, can you confirm its all decided ISHIKAWA FUKUHARA ITO HIRANO + KATO ? i'm not sure but i think there is a 6th slot just in case of injury

i was more thinking about a kind of books with sequences of still shots explaining the details of techniques frame by frame and with different angles i don't have any english title in mind, but i have quite a few here in Japanese.

or his (new ?) coach ?

Poor Archosaurus is beaten bad by everyone here. Come on, its Xmas, I wish you a merry Christmas Archosaurus... I hope you received from Santa some TT instruction books and videos !

i saw todays games live it was a superb battle between Matsudaira and Oshima. Matsudaira confirms he is currently the no2 Japanese player. He has beaten all his main adversaries except Mizutani recently. He has done very well in his last ITTF opens as well. Clearly his style has a bit changed...

The winners of those tournaments will be included in the Japan National Team for 2017 asian games and 2017 world championships on the Mens side, MIZUTANI and NIWA are already part of the team due to their rankings There was a group stage, 4 groups of 6 players with 2 players qualified into the...

i agree with you. For a long time, i tried to serve as short as possible. Only recently i have tried to serve half long, and I believe that keeping the serve low and a bit spinny is more important than keeping it short (except as you say for players 2 or 3 levels above at least...). I also have...

sometimes i can manage to serve low and really really short, like bounce just behind the net, I could film that and it would look great, but thats always after a few tries, to get the right feel, so its nearly impossible to use in match and its also difficult to hide...

last training at my club before winter holidays. I practiced with a veteran penholder for 1H30 half before playing 1 game. We did a lot of drills. I've clearly improved my BH block, i feel like a wall. The harder a guy hits at me, the harder he gets it back :-). It's also always fun to see the...

no table tennis today, i feel like sh*t

i use a coach, he pushes me to my limits

well its a question of balance. I personally think the merits of being a little bit more in the center outweighs the negatives when you cannot move a lot and/or when your FH is weaker than your BH. [or said otherwise when the BH is better than the FH] an advanced player will not let NL use his...

your problem is wide FH due to your knees. Given the state of your knees and the quality of your BH, i think it would make sense to position yourself a little bit more to the center of the table to cover better your FH side. sometimes you would have to make a little step to take those deep BH...
