The thing with CNT is that they have been very consistent in the way they run the trials, that the rules are always adapted according to the immediate circumstances. Honestly, even with the JNT system being touted as the fairest, where there are multiple ways to get a spot(WR/All-Japan/best T...

Well, it's the same concept as the affirmative action. Pips players are the minority nowadays. It's often considered an inferior style. In China, players who can't make the cut with double inverted often turn to pips on the coach's advice and their fate are sealed as they'll be treated like a...

They're probably speaking in Sichuanese, the dialect used by locals in Sichuan, where Harimoto's dad is originally from. However, there are folks who claim to be from Sichuan saying they can't understand the dialog. XD The part where Harimoto says he doesn't get what his dad is getting at is...

Most people probably never knew about this, but the KTTA was in turmoil between 2004 and 2008. It was a period of non-stop and fierce political infighting. I don't know the specifics for the Seoul Olympics, but for Athens, Chon Young Seok, the then President of KTTA(01/2004-07/2008), and a...

That weight includes the package.

Interview with Dyjas from last October. Interesting comment on his own BH, and how he's now the eldest on the team. And then his goal to reach WR20 in 2019?

To see if I've been hallucinating since 2016, I spent a night looking up some stats. In 2018, of the 14 Europeans who managed to beat CNT players, only 4 accumulated more than 1 win. They're Falck, Pitchford, Skachkov and Dyjas(see stats below). At German Open, Dyjas took out FB and took 2...

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Form-wise, Jakub Dyjas.

To be precise, the author's exact wording indicates that the JNT system is the fairest; the KNT system is the cruelest; the CNT system is the most expedient.

Just before the top of bounce. The Chinese term is "上升後期" or late ascent. That's the optimal timing advocated in Chinese coaching. Expect nothing less from Drinkhall, given he was coached by Liu Jiayi. The blue points are the late ascent. The late ascent is difficult to pinpoint, since you...

There are quite a few videos of "ball culling" by the players at the World Tour. I find it very intriguing that men and women spin the balls in different ways.

Turning this thread into "Who is this Kazuhiro?" Last point looks all so familiar.

For the time being, Ito/Morizono and Ishikawa/M Yoshimura due to ranking. For doubles seeding, they take into account both pairs WR and individual WR. These 4 are the highest. A big question is will they let Ito participate in all 3 events? We witnessed what happened at the Grand Finals.

Some more info in another article. Kurashima said that K Yoshimura has a BH comparable to Harimoto in power, and has high potential in international competitions. Citing he's a big stage player, they expect him to cause a stir at the WTTC. Baba said that Hirano has world class techniques and...
