  1. Question about boosters

    Honestly, I can't believe the OP has lived in Hong Kong. He/she sounds like Greta Thunberg.
  2. German Open 2019

  3. Seamaster is gone.

    In case people didn't know, in China, through the magazine Table Tennis World, Qin Zhijian and Li Sun have openly criticized the T2 diamond tier multiple times. They don't like how it interferes with their preparation for the Olympics and forces their top players to participate by tying the...
  4. Question about boosters

    Don't get so worked up here. That's a real-life conversation that happened in a "locker room talk." You can't get triggered here when you intrigue people with these thought-provoking threads. I mean I tried real hard to steer the FH vs BH power thread back on track but it was sadly abandoned.
  5. Question about boosters

    Red meat is nothing compared to Category 1 carcinogens.
  6. Carbon or All-Wood?

    USD$50, shipped.
  7. Seamaster is gone.

    The Seamaster has powered up and become the Sportsmaster.
  8. Question about boosters

    Great example there. I have a clubmate who is paranoid like you here and another clubmate once told him right in the face "係敢行路都會仆街死。"
  9. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    No, not by requirement. However, Hayata will have to raise her world ranking as much as possible if she wants to stand a chance getting picked by the Development Headquarter of JNT. The WR for Jan, 2020 will be used for seeding the World Team Qualification Tournament for Tokyo 2020. The one...
  10. Question about boosters

    No. Sunlight is carcinogenic. Drinking water is carcinogenic. I'll play Captain Obvious here. We live in an environment filled with pathogens, allergens, mutagens...
  11. Seamaster is gone.

    The power of Internet Archive. July 6 Oct 14 You can still find "remnants" of Seamaster here and there, like posters and logos for the T2 Singapore, but that's about it.
  12. How exactly are those ITTF highlights made? The quality is so bad!

    The million dollar question! Most Youtubers working with the ITTF appear to grab the VODs from Laola. It seems only a limited few have been granted access to the feeds.
  13. How exactly are those ITTF highlights made? The quality is so bad!

    That one comes straight from the live feed, and in progressive scan. That requires substantial bandwidth to stream on the internet. I have the satellite feed of the final between Harimoto and ZJK in Japan Open 2018. It is roughly 1.5 hours long and takes up a little under 10 GB, or roughly...
  14. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Hayata could theoretically gain 485 pts if she wins in both Polish and Belarus Opens. That will put her just 300 pts behind Kato. It'll then come down to the Austrian Open, where she'll have to reach at least the QF while Kato crash out in R32. But like you noted, Polish and Belarus Opens are...
  15. German Open 2019

    Ump: It appears you have trouble with her serve. SYS: Fault her. I can't see the damn ball.
  16. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    We're on the last legs of the calendar. Women's World Cup this coming Friday. Ishikawa's fate is literally up in the air. Can Hayata knock Kato off the 4th spot before the end of the year, with "merely" 785 pts between the 2 now? So close yet so far. The Men's World Cup and Austrian Open...
  17. German Open 2019

    That'd be fine if calls were made on the hidden ones. The 2nd one that got called looked fine. Even Bobrow questioned the call.
  18. German Open 2019

    Very poor impression for this German Open 2019. Can the ITTF not use something as important as the Platinum event to re-certify umpires?
  19. German Open 2019

    Off the wrong foot for Ito in G1. Matsuzaki looks weepy. Cold? Ito's serve still works on SYS but Ito is not moving that well. Ito got faulted at 5:7 in G3. G4, Ito missing a lot here. Serve works, but her aim is off. SYS's game plan is very simple - pin Ito down to the deep BH. Ito...
