  3. Tips for forehand topspin/loop

    One thing I notice is the OP is a toe-first walker. Studies have shown it's 10% less efficient than heel-first. That could have a long-term negative impact on your power generation in table tennis. https://uanews.arizona.edu/story/why-we-walk-our-heels-instead-our-toes...

  9. Women's World Cup

    This is why I said the East and West are not on the same page. Folks don't understand the CNT mentality here. Players who have reached the top before are just different. China is wary the most of those who have done that, especially on the big stage. See Li Sun's comments shortly before WTTC...
  10. Is the time right for Tenergy 25?

    The weird thing about the T25 is that it's a rubber designed for close-to-table spin game. Close-to-table spin game. See the problem with that? You don't play a spinny game close to the table. When you're close to the table, you don't need to worry about trajectory as much when you can take...
  11. Women's World Cup

    I actually predicted in late 2016 that Ishikawa would have a difficult time going forward and needed to change, and that Ito and Hirano showed more potential. She has had various coaches the past several years. She actually was under coach Li Lu in late 2010 when she was still in high school...
  12. Women's World Cup

    Some comments by Japanese folks on 5chan. Despite the loss, the announcement of the live announcer was quite good. There was neither screaming nor overreaction, and he was speaking idly. I was happy to hear that there was no gross backhanded compliment table tennis critic next to me. Don't...

    The current format involving invitational continental cups was established in 2013. The old format before then was an invitational event limited to roughly 20 players that include the world cup holder, world champion, continental representatives and top world-ranked players.
  16. Women's World Cup

    "Keep it up, Ishikawa. Take a game!" Seeing the Japanese star who is not on form, the friendly fans then hollered "I heard that, I also want to take a game." Ishikawa showed up with a wry smile in the mixed zone. A reporter mentioned that when she was behind, she shook her head in...

  18. Women's World Cup

    Right, in her early days, DN had trouble with choppers. And if you notice, many of the players up above play pips. Jiang Huajun for stance, was Zhang Yining's kryptonite(4 vs 1), and since DN plays a similar style(in ZYN's own words), so no wonder there.
  19. Women's World Cup

    Ishikawa's weak handling of crucial point struck again. She had the serve at 9:7 in game 3, and managed to blow 2 chance balls, and ultimately the game.
