  1. Popularity of Table Tennis vs Badminton?

    Table tennis and badminton are popular in China. Badminton was doing really well in Lin Dan's heydays until his extramarital scandal shortly after Rio. Nonetheless, his rivalry with Lee Chong Wei was really something to follow(comparable to WH and ML) from Beijing to London to Rio Olympics...
  2. T2 APAC 2018 who's confirmed?

  3. Japan Open 2018

    Ladies and gentlemen. The word is out. ML was afraid of Harimoto. He is still the ML that MLin assessed in 2010, who likes to overthink. "I played so badly. When I thought back on it, it was my preparation that wasn't good enough. It caused a series of chain reactions on the court." "In the...
  4. A very cool article about Jin Ueda

    It's a 3-part interview, but only part 1 is available in English. Part 2 on his comeback over Jeong Sangeun at the Team World Cup. Part 3 on his background. How he started as a "weed" and found his way to where the elites were.

  6. Mizuno Q3 and Q4

    Yup, same thing for ESN. They have over 100 production staff. They're always hiring.

    No, but his editing is one of a kind.
  8. Mizuno Q3 and Q4

    Waiting for Q5 to be released before committing. This is one expensive toy to import. Donations are welcome. In the meantime, visit this thread for some video reviews. Last but not least, the making of Q3 by Mizuno.

  10. Japan Open 2018

    An excerpt from the 7th issue of Table Tennis World. http://sports.sina.com.cn/others/pingpang/2018-06-20/doc-ihefphqk4068280.shtml Liu Guozheng commented: In the Japan Open, Ma Long lost to Harimoto. This loss gave Ma Long, the coaches and the entire team a wake-up call. The technical...
  11. Japan Open 2018 - a beginning of the new trend?

    Uh, at least get the date right here. The 40+ was officially introduced in July, 2014. The first senior event that used 40+ was the World Cup 2014. The last senior event that used 40mm celluloid ball was the Asian Games 2014. Several junior events still used the celluloid after that date...
  12. Japan Open 2018 - a beginning of the new trend?

    You should check out the one in Paris. It went exactly like this Japan Open, even the game score unfolded in exactly the same manner. In both instances, ML kept popping up the receives, and barely made one chiquita. He was reluctant to initiate BH exchanges and actively fell back on his FH...
  13. Any other sport or activity where a 14 year old can defeat a world champion?

    I guess many members here are too young to ever hear of Martina Hingis?
  14. Ma Long and reverse pendulum

    If anything, ZJK also has cut down on the reverse pendulum serve since his return at the Hong Kong Open.
  15. Japan Open 2018 - a beginning of the new trend?

    Well, it started after the WJTTC 2016. If you have time, read the debate on Mytt. LGL even made a video stating "the Table Tennis War b/w China and Japan has only just begun." It's funny looking back on the comments over Harimoto's "blocking" game.

  17. Japan Open 2018

    YES. Trust me.
  18. What equipment is Harimoto Tomokazu using?

    After some more digging, he actually tried switching his BH to a harder rubber before the WTTC but gave up after he hurt his wrist. He switched again after getting whooped at the WTTC.
