Damn...I missed the moment while I was racking my brain with those interviews...

Not sure as he just said harder rubber. Don't forget to share and subscribe!

Could've been 3-0 if Matsu-ken didn't falter.

Time to get harder rubbers like Harimoto. He switched to a harder rubber and boom - shut out ZJK.

Harimoto plays a game similar to ML. Speed was never ZJK's strong suit back in his heydays and he just played into Harimoto's strength. Harimoto is like a poison to him in that regard. In the 3rd game, Harimoto almost fell into his own trap again, forcing his FH shots like what happened at...

ZJK, the former king of BH, is in for a BH lesson by Harimoto-kun. End of an era here? Harimoto's FH still crappy when he goes all in, but it works fairly well if he goes for half-power shots with smart placement.

Now mentally broken...

Doing it right now...I'm afraid I'll drop dead at this rate...

Hectic schedule, indeed. Mental overload.

Chances to compete. I clarified in the title shortly after publishing the video but I was too brain-dead by the time to add that to the sub. Now fixed. Still, in the original dialog, he didn't utter the word "chances", just competition. I thought it was obvious given the subsequent...

The specific lines go like this. https://d3mjm6zw6cr45s.cloudfront.net/2017/10/T4_Racket_Coverings_BOD2017.pdf_0.pdf They added the phrase "top sheet / sponge combination" because folks argued the ITTF didn't authorize the sponge and hence booster should be allowed. OTOH, ITTF, or...
