It will be unfair to ML if he is not selected. Or is he already automatically secured the spot? All the criteria are met by him. At France 2024, according to olympics.com, “There are four ways for NOCs to secure quotas for the singles events. 1. Team quota place - 32 athletes (from 16 team...

Being the continent's champion and ranked inside the top 15 in the world, I thought that ML had secured a spot in the Olympics, right?

Good reading, thanks.

Their overall record was that Liu had a 5-4 lead. Could it have been a way around if Liu had used a setup that was legal today?

‘During his prime (1996–1999) Liu played with TSP Spinpips on his forehand and Mark V on his backhand, yet still on the Stiga Clipper blade. The Spinpip rubbers was banned in the late 2000 and their counterpart Spinpip Md the year after. Both times because of the aspect ratio (ratio of pips...

Maybe the ITTF should let players have two rackets or more, like in badminton. Players will have a spare racket to deal with pimples or OX, or change their strategy for the next game. The dynamic of the sport will be very fascinating, IMHO.

She beat a 19 y.o. Chen Yi of China. Even though she's 60 years old, I'm sure she'll beat most of us here. She's remarkable.

2.0 is OK. In fact, all BTY max. rubbers are 2.1 (1.9–2.2). If a player already has some techniques, I think 1.9–2.2 is a practical option.

Again, I agree with you, but mentioning or giving credit to the source doesn't take as much effort as making those videos. Not doing it is a huge mistake, people will look down on him. ps. ERT, we know you read TTD forums. If you read this, give your sources credit next time, don't steal, okay.

Please refer to the answer to this thread. You can see the question at 2:35. It's the same question, he only changed the 17-year-old to 9.

Oh, wow! Reading on quantum physics is easier to understand than this thread. It's amazing how a tiny 40 mm ball can be so intricate. LOL

After seeing the video again, the ball appeared to be travelling much slower than a normal BH flick. It may indicate that there are some downspin there. Nevertheless, nothing wrong with being a low-level player and giving comments :)

Let's blame the video :ROFLMAO:

Sidespin, yes. Side + top, definitely. Side + down, no (it could be, if he brushes the bottom + forward motion but it's difficult, IMO). Down, no way!

I'm not sure how to explain, this might come off as a bit sloppy. Imagine hitting the same spot as he did (3–4 o'clock) with long pips, the ball is going back with topspin, right? He just replaced the pimples ‘effect’ with brushing/lifting. All he did was that, IMHO.

Well, have to agree. This is an easy stroke. I've done it so many times. It definitely a topspin return.

He simply picked up the ball between 3 and 4 o'clock, thereby preventing its fall. That's all.

It is more friendly to Asians in general. IDK.

Hit the point that has the least rotation, in other words.
