    I actually want to see mixed gender match-ups. That'd be a game-changer.

  6. Tomokazu Harimoto breaks into the Top 10 World Rankings!

    ML has only 7, but wouldn't matter even if he had 8. He is too far away from the top of the pack.
  7. World Team Table Tennis Championships 2018

    Number-crunching time. This WTTC was an immense success for TV Tokyo. The station recorded an average rating of 17.4% for the women's final between Japan and China(20:54~ on 5/5 in Japan), the highest-ever of all programs for the station not only in 2018, but also since it started broadcasting...
  8. World Team Table Tennis Championships 2018

    Kurashima told the press Harimoto switched to a harder rubber on the BH to make up for his power shortage, after losing to South Korea. Will put it to the test at this China Open. It's interesting Kurashima thinks his shots are more powerful yet Harimoto says it's still down to technique at...

  10. H3P BS going crazy?

    No, send it to me to examine.
  11. What happened with the diversity of the playstyles?

    I think the OP meant this BH. It doesn't get mentioned much but WLQ had one of the best one-off BH counterloops back in the days. As to the OP's question, I wrote about the cause once.

    I was itching to read Berndt's convoluted comment, only to get reminded he's not with us anymore...

  17. World Team Table Tennis Championships 2018

    The last time they played in the final of WTTC 2014, Franciska could hardly come out on top in counterlooping. XX actually posted on Weibo some time after the final that he's getting old. He actually mentioned that multiple times before. It sounds about right. XX first showed signs of crack...
  18. Time Boll & Patrick Franziska using Black side for FH

    No, it's no conspiracy theory that tacky rubber is tackier in black. It's been this way from the days of the 729.
  19. A few words of advice to be a commentator

    The ITTF could stream another audio track sans commentary. If people bombard them with emails, they might offer that.
  20. World Team Table Tennis Championships 2018
