Great game b/w SYS and Takahashi. What a shame, Takahashi had 2 game points. South America has a bright future ahead. Keep it up!

Takahashi is nothing less than impressive as well. She looks like a different player from Rio.

The Brazilian kid put up a good fight. Amazing Samba BH like Calderano.

A big part of it has to do with the Jews giving up. Table tennis was dominated by the Jews until Japan took over and they never recovered.

Through her affiliation STARTS, Ito Mima announced today that she will not participate in the inaugural season of T Leauge, citing that she wants to focus on strengthening in the limited time. https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2018/10/09/kiji/20181009s00026000196000c.html "I've been very...

I see some major upsets in store here.

Butterfly has recently revealed the Tenergy topsheet is an extension of Bryce and Bryce Highspeed. The rubber itself hasn't changed all that much. In the patent for Bryce Highspeed, it's said the rubber recipe and pips configuration have hit the bottleneck, hence they experimented with a...

It's the Wood House version of All-round Classic.

Jesus...no one mentions Jesus Cantero?

Harimoto is undergoing FH fix at the moment. It could make or break. Moregard playing well in the league could be a bad thing, especially right before a major tournament. He might peak too soon. Lin Yun-ju says his form is quite good but does not have any expectation if he runs into...

After much digging the past few days, I finally got hold of the source. What a drag! The stats on invention and innovation come from the article "中国乒乓球技术发展规律及趋势", roughly "Principles and Trends of Development for Chinese Table Tennis Techniques", published in 1990 and coauthored by Qiu...

No, it doesn't complement or differ from the video you linked. It's a clarification on what is really meant by "standing on the balls of the feet". If you notice in the slow-mo, the demo player shifts between the toes and heels when moving and when executing the strokes. It's not always on...

Like langel points out, it's not about planting the heels. Rather, it's about the common notion of "always standing on the balls of the feet" found in Chinese and English guides. There are tons of them and many beginners are confused and hence misled because of that. My point of contention is...

Below is Fan Xiangdong's stance, former Beijing team member, former Li Sun's assistant, used to coach in Germany, now personal coach in China, translating the gist only: http://chuansong.me/n/1852152752428

Another one by Ma Kaixuan, former member of the Beijing team, coached the US in the 90s, writer and consultant for magazine Table Tennis World, and table tennis portal Guoqiuhui.

Another one "Shifu" Guo Yunpeng did on standing on the balls of the feet.
