    Uh-huh. At this rate, Nagazaki will drop off the radar. She's only less than 2 years younger than Ito and the likes. If CNT's experience applies as well for JNT, she will live under their shadows and fade away. Kihara has it a little better given those 2 extra years, but it will still be...

  5. Best FH in the world at the moment?

    You didn't get it. Every offensive player would have less variety by your definition, in this case, and there is no point going forward.
  6. Best FH in the world at the moment?

    Man, all offensive players can retire if that were the case.

  8. Best FH in the world at the moment?

    At the moment, ML has the best FH in terms of 3rd ball. LGL wrote once in his Table Tennis World column that ML's 3rd ball is better than MLin. LGL's opinion in 2011 http://sports.sohu.com/20110621/n310955653.shtml ML's opinion in 2012 http://www.ctsports.com.cn/2012/08/09/12281551499.html...
  9. Best FH in the world at the moment?

    Harimoto has the best FH perhaps if you phrase it "who has the best FH ranked in the Top 10 who's U15." You folks seriously need to hear what Kurashima said right in the face of Harimoto at the Korean Open.

    Added clip of LGL.
  11. Table Tennis "BACKHAND" (Video)

    Not on the same page again. It's not generalization. It's not motivational. It's not confirmation bias. LGL also took note of that fact when he commentated for the England VS China match at the Team World Cup 2018. BTW, Liu Jiayi actually commented in the article that Germany was the...
  12. December World Rankings 2018

    But seriously, many people in HK were excited to see the home-grown WCT crack the top 100, then top 50, then top 20, and finally top 10 a few years back. He was stuck in the top 50 for a year and then the top 20 for another year before landing in the top 10. I could understand the excitement...

    Well, badminton switched to the ATP system in 2007 and their "World Tour" was known as the BWF Super Series, now known as the BWF World Tour. It works great for them despite the players complaining about burnouts.

    Tanaka's BH is so fast. Yu Heyi couldn't keep up, but the FH step-around saved game 2. Tanaka = BH. Yu Heyi = FH. It's a contest to see who forces his own game on the other.
  15. 2018 World Junior U18 TT Championships

    Speak of the devil. Same thing in final game. Nagasaki trailed and turned the table on Qian Tianyi but then blacked out... 1:3, 5:4, TO by China, 6:4, 6:6, 7:9, 8:9, 8:10, 9:10, 9:11 Same habit for Kihara. Cruised through the 1st 2 games and then blacked out in the next 2, was trailing 3:6...

    This new Japanese generation plays better when trailing behind. They have to work on closing it out when having the lead.

    Ahem...Liu Jiayi made note of that trend in 2007, when table tennis was still played with 40mm and speedglue.
  18. World Tour Grand Finals 2018

    European = endangered species. No wonder the ITTF believes changing the structure is the way forward, after all these rule changes do all these years are weaken the competitions outside China, not even Asia.
