Innerforce ALC w/ ZJK ALC handles, T05/T05, as of May, 2018. Kurashima told the press he switched to a harder T05 after WTTC Halmstad. Not sure if it's FH, BH, or both.

No, you can't make a living on World Tour prize money. That's a given. CNT members, in particular, have to split the prize money with their coaches, support staff, well, basically everyone involved. It makes sense, seeing their daily expenses are covered by the state. Those who play in the...

Welcome to the forum. You'll regret it. I did. :p

Thanks for the kind words. Another reason I started had to do with the odd comment about how "the Chinese players are like robots" on various forums, even to this date. Why is that? I mean, Youtube is flooded with table tennis videos the past several years, but then it became obvious to me...

Good point. I thought about going with voice-over(so you could still hear the Mandarin), but then it struck me that it'd be nigh-impossible when I had to make small changes such as wording after the original upload. With soft subbing(subtitle not burnt into the video), I could do it with just...

From the physics standpoint, the higher the toss, the harder it is to time, theoretically. The velocity of the ball drop increases 9.8m/s every second. Say, your normal toss reaches you after 1 second of drop, your window of contact would get compressed in 1/2 if the toss goes higher and...

In my case, they feel otherwise identical, except the layer.

Honestly, I feel I could make more for an hour of relatively light work at the convenience store. Subbing videos is a very inefficient way to make money, so to speak. The time spent is exponential to the length of the videos. It's much more complicated than translating a piece of text. I...

After subbing 80 interviews for 2 weeks nonstop, I finally got the chance to crawl over and sign up on Patreon, https://www.patreon.com/gnopgnip. It's empty for the time being. Will start working on it later. I need a break.

DN's interview was such a chore

Just double checked the match. No, didn't touch the net. ML raised his hand probably because he popped them up on both times, which should've translated into winners for FZD, who probably expected tight returns instead. BTW, there's a name for that return - 立短, to stand short, literally...

Ya, that scene depicts how it felt real well. For anyone who may not be familiar with One Punch Man, it's a manga by the author named ONE, who also pens the Mob Psycho 100, both of which have been adapted into anime.

Exact same pattern at 10:11 and 12:13, FZD serving. He served a side-top and got a loose return, but somehow held back and gave back an even looser ball.

Dejavu of WTTC Dusseldorf. The match is unfolding according to the script. This FZD reminds me of the ML back in 2009.

I can't keep my eyes open...

They go by the name L.D.T.T. There is one rubber on the LARC, the EA777.

Wu Yang on losing to Ito. http://sports.sina.com.cn/others/pingpang/2018-06-01/doc-ihcikcew2466030.shtml "I think some shots that I could've scored, or some shots that I should've been able to make, didn't happen in the match. The entire flow including the fact that I got a bit nervous and...

That's it. Ishikawa will hardly, if ever, beat Ito again. She had her chances by serving to Ito's short forehand, but Ito caught on in the 3rd and 4th games, and played particularly smart in the 6th game with those long pushes, disrupting Ishikawa's flow.
