If Japan cannot win at home, they cannot win period. And if they could not get TTR in anticipation of this, that is on Japan, after all they are the hosts.

What did LSD change? It is like he is finding where Togami doesn't like the ball consistently - maybe playing through the center of the table more...

Does anyone have a link, CCTV 16 is showing badminton lol...

It is all on Togami now - a pity Sora couldn't finish the job, but the reasonable path was always to beat everyone around WCQ and it is still available.

i know you are jokong but... And what will she do other than lose like everyone else? And the players that have lost to China and who Rui has been working with to improve their results for this event- because they have never won (other than Miwa), we throw that out the window for a hail mary...

I just discovered that Express VPN has a China setting - I just used it and CCTV 16 is now showing volleyball when it was previously showing me that my region was not permitted to view the broadcast. That will make up very slightly for the disaster I entertained as a result of leaving my...

Not necessarily flat hit but drive. Make speed the dominant dimension of the ball quality not spin or arc though noth may be present to varying degrees. The ratio can be tricky when attacking semi high balls with heavy spin because of the table limits but table tennis is learned from practice...

That serve, the toss is pretty backwards (more than 30 from vertical). Very hard to see in a match from the opponent's side but I need to figure out how to see it because the spin is usually underestimated by me lol...

No one gets destroyed for posting video except 1) they don't treat their playing level.with humility or 2) are being destroyed by players who will never post videos of themselves because they also lack humility. Usually if you put in a lot of time into your game in the right kind of...

Times are hard when I start sounding like Tieba users. Where did I go wrong?

So after all the qualification matches, after all the knockouts, it comes down to the matchup we all know too well, we are now getting the point that in Asia if not the world, Japan is second China on both men and women's and beating Korea 3-0 almost confirms that. IT is funny that Kuo used to...

Neither did I, but it is an interesting question that if Japan needs to win, who stands a chance vs Kuai Man and Wang Manyu...

I am a huge believer from my years of practice is that it is best to learn to just hit the ball somewhat cleanly and then add to spin to the ball with subtle use of the fingers and larger swing paths. So contact is more important for me than "wrist usage" and "wrist usage" is more finger usage...

Looks like Youtube got the streamer :(.

Wow - deuce in the 5th, clutch play by both players, but the man of steel pulls it out.

In table tennis in general, wrist is overrated, fingers and forearm are underrated. For any two winged player, the placement of the elbow and its role in facilitating consistency are extremely important, when a player is too strong on forehand vs backhand, it is likely because he lacks elbow...

Start by *not* brushing the balls that are well above net height. That is where your issue is most obvious even though it is on many shots. If you can select going through the ball when it is above net height, then below net height it is a matter of experimentation but brushing below net...

LYJ gets it to 2-2 - this will be very interesting.

I need to check the pairings but did China go out of their way to avoid LSD vs LYJ or did Taiwan? Ah - Taiwan did - interesting... though you could argue that Lin likes to play first regardless of the opponent...

You mean 3 point lead. I agree he isn't stable, but he isn't so much better than OJS that he shouldn't lose to him, that's my main point.
