Wanted to write more on Harimoto, LYJ, Moregard, Pletea and WCQ, but All-Japan 2021 is coming up next week. Will just compile some links for future reference... https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?19755-Child-Abuse-Japanese-Style&p=252128&viewfull=1#post252128...

Been 9 years since. Good times bickering with Mastermind over Sharara's plugging the loophole of rubber authorization for topsheet only. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44247&PID=549291&title=common-cheats-and-how-to-avoid-them#549291...

With all due respect, you have a lot of catching-up to do on many issues. When you say DHS does this, you gotta understand you're effectively making a blanket statement. Armstrong mentioned above is a counterexample. TSP is another one which supplied Haruna Fukuoka with custom-made Curl P-3...

Just wanted to fill you in since you just came back. Butterfly tried edible oil as tuner/booster for Tenergy, as revealed in an issue of Table Tennis Kingdom from 2016. The Tenergy supplied to the CNT comes with a "not for sale" stamp. The Attack 8 used by Ai Fukuhara was custom-made by...

Elena Semenova: Your service isn't good enough. ...venerable, and also less-than-graceful.

FWIW, best FH, BH, serve and so on by CNT and JNT players. And why "most decorated" and "greatest of all time" do not mix, if you have spare time to waste...

That reminds me of Waldner's interview. He doesn't count the World Cup as a major title. Going by that, then Rosskopf, KTS(lost to Ma Wenge and Rosskopf in finals of World Cup 1992 and 1998 but beat KLH and LGL to win Asian Games 1998, his only singles title), Samsonov, Boll, Ovtcharov, XX...

Shang Kun: Cholei! C'mon! Calderano: YES! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mimMgLGmtZk&t=906s

Does ITTF treat commentators(announcer and guest commentator alike) like umpires, with a small amount of allowance/stipend?

Those clips are crucial because they match up with the age/age group worked out from the news coverage, photos, and prospectus of the amateur tournaments in which he played a few years before joining the sports school in 2006, the first step to becoming a pro. Most if not all cadet and junior...

Discussion of FZD's age on Zhihu. Some claim to know coaches or friends that he's changed his age, but most conclude that his age is real after going through the circumstantial evidence, most notably clips of FZD from 2008 below that I referenced before. His friends, classmates and teammates...

1. LGL on Harimoto in an interview with Zhibo TV in early 2018: Germany has surpassed us in world ranking, but I'm not the least bit worried On the other hand, Tomokazu Harimoto, given his accomplishments in his age group, and his passion for table tennis Purely from the aspect of playing, our...

Placeholder. In before another war! :rolleyes:

Ito is a rare one. She has always played with Nittaku equipment, even when she used H3 in the 2nd half of 2017, it was the Nittaku Turbo Orange. OTOH, quite a few Nittaku-sponsored players don't play with Nittaku equipment. Hayata has never played with either Nittaku rubbers or blades, until...

Since we're talking about "old" rubbers, I thought some might find the following interesting. Baracuda and Baracuda Big Slam have recently been re-released in Japan because many comments from overseas say it's compatible with the ABS ball. https://world-tt.com/renew/archives/1221 "Barracuda"...

Nah, that's a mere rehash(and not even close).

Tenergy: Hold my beer from 2008! H3 Neo: Ahem from 2009! For ESN grippy rubbers, the last big advancement was in 2012. That's it. They ran out of ideas/steam and the market has been saturated since 2014/2015. All relatively recent models have been rehashes and cash grabs. Their profit...

2020 table tennis: Backspin strokes are obsolete! Skinhead LJK: Hold my beer!

WLQ: Hold my RED H3 from 2013.
