  3. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    I don't see a problem with that. Dainton said he had a very good time with LGL and made it very clear ITTF needed to work closely with CTTA back in 2019. It's only a problem (COI) if they colluded together and CTTA was pulling strings in the background without public knowledge, like what Adham...

    That's a blanket statement that applies to practically all non-CNT players. Harimoto starting in R32 Tokyo 2020 - R16 Starting in R128 WTTC 2017 - QF WTTC 2019 - R16 Starting in R64 WTTC 2021 - R64 Starting in R128 WTTC 2023 - QF Starting in R16 World Cup 2018 - QF World Cup 2019 - Runner-up...
  5. WTT Finals Men Doha 2023

    The WTT Finals for 2023 were supposed to last for 7 days instead of 3 days. The ones for 2022 and 2021 lasted for 4 days. The original plan: China Grand Smash Qualifier TBD, China (CHN): 8-10 Nov China Grand Smash Main draw TBD, China (CHN): 12-19 Nov WTT Cup Finals (Female) TBD, TBD/Asia...
  6. Is it allowed to change weights on your racket during a match?

    I think most of the rules are concerned with the hitting surface more than anything so as long as that part remains the same throughout the match, you should be fine.
  7. Is it allowed to change weights on your racket during a match?

    There are blades with switchable center-of-gravity (through a built-in slide), so I don't see why not (blades don't have to gain approval). I think the requirement of leaving the racket on the table between games (circa 1994) is to prevent players from modifying or switching out the rubber(s)...

    Samsonov: Sigh, young people nowadays... Samsonov at WTTC 1997: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/why-do-asian-tt-players-mature-earlier-than-europeans.23925/post-321624 https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/did-samsonov-have-the-worst-draw-of-all-time-in-1997.8512/...
  9. Dwell Time .....

    No, a reasonable engineer or physicist would wonder if the same thing happens with other types of hollow balls. Rod Cross did just that with table tennis and squash balls on a force plate (there you have it, knock yourself out) and he found out the latter did not exhibit that behavior. No one...
  10. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    Thank you for stating what I've known for years. Butterfly's biggest market is China. ESN's biggest market is China. Stiga's biggest market is China. The market has been flooded with Chinese money for years. China is the elephant in the room, has always been historically. Deal with it...
  11. Dwell Time .....

    Oh, I do question hardheaded engineer's qualification. In late 2010, he posted an excel graph of the speeds-after-impact formula from Wikipedia, that consisted of basically 2 straight lines, parallel to each other, going from the bottom left corner to the top right corner, to "dispel the myth"...
  12. Dwell Time .....

    More myth. Dwell time actually increases when the ball buckles after a certain threshold. (see FIG. 6.) Now you're saying it has to do with experience and skill. Look what you said last week...

    World Table Tennis Pte. Ltd. (UEN ID 201908249E) is listed as having 7 officers as of 2023. After crawling through the WTT official site and news, I get the following list: Liu Guoliang, ITTF Deputy President, WTT Board Chair Khalil Al-Mohannadi, WTT Director/WTT Managing Director Steve...
  14. Sponge hardness on rubbers

    In before hardheaded engineer after wasting enough of my time. The interest here is to find out the general trend, not an outlier. Those Giant Dragon Guard/Guard Special do not even qualify as an outlier as I highly doubt they are legal. How they got approved in the first place is another...
  15. Dwell Time .....

    Chances are hardheaded engineer has been doing all of them all along, as indicated by experimental data on various players, yet he just won't accept facts. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/wrapping-the-ball.31447/post-413739
  16. Sponge hardness on rubbers

    Try me. You can shove that Giant Dragon Guard up your behind. As I've explained, that crap is not elastic, yet you keep using it to justify your distorted definition of elasticity and force it on the vast majority of elastic rubbers. Here's some real data, data from Sumitomo, same as last...

    Not much on WTT CS Incheon 2023 for the time being.

    An update. CXT has been exonerated. 官方定调了 https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8810117290?pid=149397321071&cid=149410988714#149410988714
  19. Sponge hardness on rubbers

    Myth. Just because there is not a simple formula doesn't mean the two variables have no correlation.
  20. Sponge hardness on rubbers

    There are multiple hardness scales in use by different brands and manufacturers. Most of them are not comparable. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/sponge-hardness-new-video.31525/post-415442
