  4. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    What is more puzzling is why Ito played at all when the wins don't count anymore (only 10 matches since the season opening and Ito played like 5 only, with 4 counting).

    They have had Chinese coaches for years. According to Kihara, she got interested in learning Chinese herself. I mixed up SONE Kakeru with KAYAMA Yu, whose parents are former CNT players. Mende/面手, which means face-hand, should be Japanese.

    Kihara is fluent in Chinese. Hirano is much less proficient but can understand.
  7. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    Kihara/Harimoto are having a blast rooting as usual. Hayata getting more and more shaky after the model change. Miwa's brother has found his way back in against Felix after the middle game of G1 in their first-ever encounter. Straight-game win for Harimoto. The former is totally prepared for...

    0% with DHK in that state.
  9. What do you think of Yuna Ojio's style?

    In terms of athleticism, Yuna is arguably the best on the junior team now. Miwa is the most physically gifted but even she pales in lunging. Yuna used to play boxing and held the national title for the under 27.5kg weight class (Bambi Champion). [url...
  10. How far do you think Sun Yang can go?

    Sun Yang shares the same problem of many, if not all, modern defenders after Ding Song who started the style - they don't/can't chop on the FH (but Ding Song can and does, and JSH got much better at FH chop later on). Unless Sun Yang changes that part of his game, no chance...
  11. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    Ahem, a player can only play XD and/or D, or S and/or D.
  12. What do you think of Yuna Ojio's style?

    She actually falls back on the shakehand grip and chops when she gets pushed back from the table or when things don't go her way. Unlike the men's side which has a greater power difference between juniors and seniors, she will have an easier time with this grip as time goes by. The fact there...

    Maybe Nittaku needed to drive the sale of Hayata H2?

  15. Skyline, TG series and TG neo series, what's up with all this???

    There is more to it just like for H3. The red one is the original with a different line art and without the ITTF number (referred to as 大字天极/Big Character Skyline or 有机/VOC). The orange one is the Neo (referred to as 无机/non-VOC), which has different topsheet and sponge. The blue ones are the...
  16. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    So they've gone with Togami/Harimoto, Kihara/Harimoto for the first round.
  17. What do you think of Yuna Ojio's style?

    After roughly 2 years of observation, I'd say she has more potential than Mende. [url unfurl=false]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G4BpSaFxNI[/url] (Full match)
