You have a pretty fast setup already. Passionate about TT

True, I want to see more youngsters rising to the top in many countries. Essentially TT has been popular in Asia and Germany only. If Harimoto rise to the next Grand Slam holder, Japan will be the next God and China and Korea are trying to catch up. It is no different from today. It would be...

CNT has no match for Harimoto in that age group. Wang Chuqin (18yo) is probably the youngest CNT with winning potential. But he's not as fast as Hari. He doesn't have deceptive serves. FZD can only last for another 3-5yrs until being too old to beat Hari. This is probably the time when China...

I would play with them if I can afford them. Feel of older wood is amazing. I have a very old Butterfly Primorac. It would be sad not to engage those amazing old wood in a game. Passionate about TT

ZJK returned Hari's serve high many times like ML. I wonder why all pro players struggle with Hari's serve. This win is a huge boost in JNT's confidence. If CNT continues this way, Hari will take the Olympic gold in 2020 and/or 2024. Hari well performed. Congrats Passionate about TT

Good to see Hari win. He shows it's possible to defeat any top Chinese players. Hopefully the rest of the world would take note, train up talented players and aim to reach the top. Passionate about TT

Nonetheless, this win would have given Hari and the entire JNT a huge boost in confidence. They will train even harder to dethrone the Chinese in 2020 Tokyo Olympic. Sadly only FZD has the ability and consistency to safeguard the Chinese dominance. None of the younger CNT males are good enough...

You can see the declining FH power of ML, XX and FZD quite clearly with the new ABS ball. Harimoto, Boll and other top Jap players don't seem to be affected much. From a physics POV it makes sense based on the type of rubber they use. Passionate about TT

OMG why nobody can return Harimoto's serve. ML returned Harimoto's serve high 1/3 of the time. Passionate about TT

Like many other equipment suggestions, it's always helpful to know your playing style, level and preference. A looper might find Z1 pairing extremely well with an OFF 5-ply. But the same blade might be too soft for someone playing offensive close to the table. Passionate about TT

What's interesting is that people start directing to opponent's FH to get points because they are both strong at BH. The original idea is to direct attack to BH until BH has become the new FH. Passionate about TT

I can see Wang Chuqin and Harimoto reigning the TT world in a few years. After Tokyo 2020 we might enter a TT world with two young champions from China and Japan. They are currently just so good at their age. Wang Chuqin probably has less experience than Harimoto at the moment. Passionate about TT

Good to see you joining the forum!! Passionate about TT

If you like Yasaka blade, go with YSE first. It's slower than YEO but with way more control. Get a Battle 2 provincial for $23 from Prott.vip. That combo would give you lots of control and speed when you need it. I am a penholder. I play two wing loop from mid distance. My blade is all wood...

Thanks heaps!!! I think I will go with B2 Passionate about TT

Thanks for your review. I have been thinking of B2. Just not sure if I should try the normal one or provincial one. I have been thinking of Yinhe Big dipper after reading some good reviews. Has anyone played with both B2 and Big dipper? Passionate about TT

Men's double final would be interesting to watch. Ho and Wong blew their final last year again Japan while leading. Let's see if they can put their feet on the ground in home land and take the title. Passionate about TT

Morizono and Yoshima displayed such a great potential and aggressiveness in double. I wonder why the JNT doesn't develop them in single. Passionate about TT

WCT has been quite stable in the recent years without dramatic improvement. As a penholder I have been holding my hope up for WCT and XX. I hope WCT can solify his BH a bit more and add more surprises to his shots. Passionate about TT
