  1. Nasty rubber setup, another great ERT video

    Idesawa's highest world ranking was 294, set in 2/2020, after playing for half a year from 5-11/2019, the only year she played international competitions. Her winning percentage in singles is 72% (21/29). Of note here is that she played JGD with H. Ojio and JXD with Shinozuka at WJTTC 2019...
  2. Nasty rubber setup, another great ERT video

    Idesawa is a flash in the pan, for lack of a better phrase. Similar to but much more severe than Ito, the more one plays her, the less of a threat she becomes. After her debut year, her record in the T League has been very ugly. All-Japan TTC 2019...
  3. Nasty rubber setup, another great ERT video

    You've picked the wrong sport. It is actually the most iconic element that makes table tennis unique, even among racket sports. You sound exactly like a long time friend who can't play against combination players. I can't remember the number of times I have been trashed by them. I've played...
  4. BB's thread about higher frequency blades being faster.

    Definitely smoking. Once again, 2 separate studies show that elite players hit through and then brush the ball, on both FH and BH loops, one against topspin and backspin balls close to the table and the other from mid-distance. 2 other separate studies show that the forearm pronates through...

  6. BB's thread about higher frequency blades being faster.

    Are you smoking? Remember your stance over "wrapping the ball"? Your quote above is in direct support of it. And what about the experiemental results I just quoted? Your quote above is in direct opposition to them, that generally, the higher the COR, the lower the contact duration...
  7. BB's thread about higher frequency blades being faster.

    1kHz blade? Man, same old crap some 34 months later. 唔撚好再用屎忽諗嘢。/Think with your ass do *bleep* not. Delay no more! The frequency of the "diving board" mode (see quote 1) excited in your clamped Toxic 5 hardbat (as if the OP and recent atmosphere are not toxic enough) is way lower than even...
  8. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    Yours truly rubbed a lot of members the wrong way but hardly anyone cared when Harimoto shared the same thoughts. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/harimoto-in-terms-of-table-tennis-i-prefer-zjk-to-ml-ml-is-amazing-but-it-is-simply-the-result-of-working-and-playing-diligently.31530/
  9. My forehand issue

    Note that the OP says "even my coach doesn't believe me now". The first thing I'd do is figure out why the FH is affected after taking some time off due to a minor injury. Perhaps try playing the FH with the D09C and see what happens?
  10. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    I went back to check for the first instance of the term "misogyny" and guess who raised it first? Again, assume the following scenario, if you see Fukuhara on the street: 1. You choose to respect the court's decision and tip her off. Does that make you an enemy of women? 2. You choose to...
  11. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    And you had to pick 墮姬/Daki, literally "the fallen princess". Daki also happens to be a homonym for 唾棄.
  12. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    Oh, my post is not directing at you. I quoted it just to get started on addressing the direction the thread is going. The fact that TensorBackhand started this thread, whether he felt the need or simply out of curiosity, shows the severity of the situation here, as turbozed pointed out early...
  13. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    Another point about quoting tabloid magazine, which I touched on in Mizutani's cheating thread, is that you need to be aware how Japanese get the "real" news. [url unfurl=false]https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-Japanese-tabloids[/url] Speaking of Tokyo Sports, I notice they've started...
  14. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    It's unfortunate the focus of this thread has shifted to misogyny. Let's assume the following. Yours truly must hate men by starting a thread about Mizutani cheating on his wife. Yours truly must really hate men by making a post about Maharu Yoshimura cheating on his wife and in so doing had...
  15. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    Speak of the devil. The story of Fuka, a Japanese American, who got kidnapped along with her brother by her mom and moved with her stepdad to America and abused throughout her childhood while being told her biological dad had abandoned them (note: not judging, just rephrasing what she stated)...
  16. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    Probably for a similar reason that got Uda and Nagasaki a 3-month suspension from the JOC Elite Academy, but I should've stressed that it's all just rumors. I can't remember the details as I didn't really look into it but like I said, it was so widely reported that you couldn't ignore it (it...
  17. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    It's been so widely reported in East Asia, especially Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong that you can't ignore it. Chiang Hung-Chieh's side of the argument has been out in the open that mostly matches up whereas Fukuhara's handling of the whole thing has been very secretive and it's been said she...
