He pulls the left arm near his body to shift the rotational inertia (AKA the moment of inertia) to his right hand side so as to aid the FH swing.

And I keep hearing that XTWC is useless... LOL No, he must've chickened out now that he is the European Games Champion. Too much to lose like Harimoto.

I took a look. Nguyen Anh Tu actually last played at Asian Games 2023. His previous event before that was South East Asian Games in 12/2019. It seems like he only stopped since 4/2022 because those were the "initial points" left from 2019. Player Events [url...

Harimoto 1-4 Togami (3, -8, -8, -11, -8) G2 61, 75 missed that popup with the BH, 710, 810, 811. Lost 5 in a row from 75 to 710 all on BH. He could've smashed that popup with FH. Same old mindset problem. G4 03 TO for Harimoto, 06, 37, 97, 910, 1010, 1011, 1111, 1113 Harimoto kept nagging...

3rd-4th Kihara 4-0 Nagasaki (2, 7, 8, 9) Shinozuka 4-1 Arinobu (6, 7, -8, 5, 9) F Hayata 2-4 Harimoto 31, 35, 85, 86, 96, 97, 107 slight net for Hayata, 117 4 in a row for Harimoto then 5 in a row for Hayata in the middle game. Harimoto can't win that way. 03, 13, 14, 24, 25, 35, 38, 68, 69...

In terms of stats, Hirano, Kihara and Harimoto is actually the best but risky lineup if Japan wants to beat China, with the latter two having no prior experience, whereas Hirano was the reserve at Rio 2016 and Hayata at Tokyo 2020. Kihara/Harimoto for the doubles, Hirano for the first singles...

Unless Ito gets 10 or even 15 pts by beating one of the top 3 CNT players at the WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023, it is gonna be Hirano. From JTTA's perspective, they wanna choose Harimoto over Kihara to prepare her for LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032. The fact they fielded the former in the WT final...

Hirano will widen her lead over Ito by at least another 10 pts, that is, 34.5 pts. Ito will have to finish 2 rounds beyond Hirano to make a comeback at Zennihon Takkyu 2024. Same case if Hirano finishes 5th and Ito 7th tomorrow, the gap will widen by 20 pts, or 44.5 pts. And if Hirano reaches...

Zennoh Cup Osaka 5th-8th Hirano 4-0 Ito 01, 11, 15, 45 Ito served off the table, 55 slight net for Hirano, 75, 78, 118 4 in a row for Ito then 6 in a row for Hirano then 3 in a row for Ito then 4 in a row for Hirano. My head is spinning... 03, 13, 14, 104, 105, 115 9 in a row for Hirano after...

Because ethnic Chinese don't play for them in table tennis like they did in badminton (and got discriminated like shit that there is an official term for it - 排華/Chinese exclusion, which makes Ethnocide of Uyghurs so laughable) that laid the foundation for their own future home-grown players...

Neither because both still ended up an all-Chinese affair. https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/%E4%BB%A5%E5%8F%B0%E7%81%A3%E7%82%BA%E5%90%8D%E7%94%B3%E8%AB%8B%E5%8F%83%E5%8A%A02020%E5%B9%B4%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC%E5%A5%A7%E9%81%8B%E5%85%AC%E6%8A%95%E6%A1%88 In terms of difficulty, there were 8 players...

He's referring to the WD QF. It was ugly. [url unfurl=false]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_tennis_at_the_2022_Asian_Games#Medalists[/url] [url unfurl=false]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgK4fIGg2Lc[/url] [url unfurl=false]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1q2BbhA7O4[/url] [url...

More varied, yes. More advanced, no. Note that the chiquita and strawberry/reverse chiquita/miyuta (mostly in Japan) are not exact opposites as they are different in 球性/shot property (this one doesn't translate well, so 球種/shot type maybe a better fit). The two strokes are distinguished by...

The original H2 was designed for WLQ/Yan Sen. The original H3 was not designed for any specific player but Liu Guozheng became the representative figure after WTTC 2001. The original TG2/TG3 were designed for MLin/WH, respectively. The original H2/H3 and TG2/TG3 were way more different than...

I guess that's why the term 霸王擰/hegemonic chiquita is reserved for ZJK only in China. To this day, he is arguably the only one who could chiquita anything at clutch moments. ZJK's comment from 2/2022 https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Zg411s7Bb Hou Yingchao's comment...

ITTF XTWC 2023 is not listed on the 2023 WTT Event Calendar. Maybe it has to do with the removal of "the licensing of the World Cups to WTT from the MLA"? http://mytabletennis.net/FORUM/forum_posts.asp?TID=93809&PID=1146280&title=ittf-world-cup-to-come-back-in-2024#1146280
