No shit! I think I first looked into it after I pulled the tendon in my elbow during a FH warmup. The dull pain was so bad it got me curious what I did wrong to deserve this. It did take a long time to heal like people mentioned on forums.

But a player wouldn't play a BH without supination, which is assisted by the biceps. Extra force is produced as a result when extending the forearm in the supinated position after a wind up, in addition to the SSC, the mechanism that you mention...

Yup, your biceps actually contract and lengthen when you extend your forearm.

You'll likely miss the shot. In the point below, Gauzy returned XX's FH loop back to his crossover/pocket, which is an indecision point, often known in Chinese as 反手偏中路, where it goes toward your BH but it feels like you could make a FH instead. The last point of G1 was similar for Gauzy...

DO would've hit a BH instead if he had to rip a FH. That's how the term "step-around" is defined in his dictionary.

You won't have the time to do all that unless you're far enough from the table, but either way, your percentage will go down significantly because it's hard to time the shot. You will understand once you try it firsthand. Try it out and report your findings.

BH is comparable to FH in power under certain conditions. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?21847-Forehand-power-vs-Backhand-power&p=289783&viewfull=1#post289783

Chose to stay out of this because other members have more or less addressed the issue but the OP's stance is not entirely unfounded and given the other thread is still debating over the BH issue. So here goes. From a physiological standpoint, the BH could be comparable to the FH in power...

The issue here is more than age of consent. The point of contention here is whether he's committed infidelity, which is punishable in Japan where her wife could divorce him on that ground and claim alimony. This is why he and his acquaintance keep stressing he didn't cross the line(physical...

That's why so many Japanese comments say it's a honey trap.

http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46528&PID=582439&title=the-truth-behind-the-chinese-stroke#582439 Then some time later, people wondered why ZJK would destroy MLin at every chance he gets in matches... It turns out ZJK bet with MLin's CC after he went bust. When shit hit the...

I don't even know why I'm doing this, perhaps out of pure passion for table tennis.

Took me a while but here is the guidelines on the behavior and conduct for Olympic prospects, players looking to become world-class and staff. Judging from the timing it was published(2017/3/13), it could be a preventative measure after Momota's incident...

Yup. Denial is the most predictable of all human responses.

The very definition of stepping around is to use the FH, similar to a reserved word in computer programming. There's a specific Chinese term for the footwork involved when stepping around - 側身步, literally "side body step." Another footwork that's meant for FH is 交叉步(cross(over) footwork)...

It will severely hamper their XD pairing and in turn the women's team composition. I wonder how Ito is feeling now, seeing they're from the same town and she's known him since forever. Ishikawa and Hayata haven't really paired with Mizutani before and the JTTA could go with either of them over...

Players were willing to go to any lengths to get an edge after the glue ban...
