  5. kanak jha forhand topspin.

    My apologies, yes his size/power makes leaving the table mostly suicidal, he can't beat good players from distance.
  6. kanak jha forhand topspin.

    Ah okay - Hugo is much taller and bigger. Gauzy was born in France where there is a tradition of table tennis. Kanak is the best ever modern player from North America. He has gone further than anyone who is from North America and he has wins over both Hugo and Simon. Table tennis is really...
  7. kanak jha forhand topspin.

    He doesn't go far as opposed to who? Who is the player his size or from North America who is going further?
  8. kanak jha forhand topspin.

    He is smaller than most players so his relative emphasis is on speed over power. That said, his backswing isn't that small, many player focus on the arm when looking at swing size and not the lower body. Also he will change the size of the stroke relative to how much time he has to launch the...
  9. How do you guys perform a backhand topspin?

    While this isn't exactly how the Chinese do it, this technique held up pretty well for me for many years, even with the ball change. The modern technique I try to emulate this one - TTD actually has a tutorial from Pitchford himself in the Coaching link: I like this coach a lot but I...

    Look at Bojan Tokic amongst others. It was common and standard before someone came up with the idea that it was something especially important for technique to make the free hand active. That's what I was hinting at that it is something overblown when a world champ can do without it the way...

    Omoda and Mittelham almost made me a liar but somehow Nina came back drom 0-2 down to win again and make the German crowd happy. Kawakami could not defeat fhe Kwon train and Kwon who I beliebe is 18 with wins over the likes of Kawakami, Badowski and Ranefur at this event will definitely be...

    How many hours a week do you play? You need a commitment device. I get that the league system encourages some discipline and commitment since you have to perform for the team but the most important thing is never what you use but mastering what you use.

    Onoda rallies from 0-2 down while Rin loses from being up 10-5 in the decider. The Korean wins, now Quek and Kawakami are playing. EDIT: Kawakami wins 3-1 and will play the Korean Kwon in the final.

    Nothing wrong with starting your thread. Web forums are IMHO for conversations. Just pointing out the original intent of this thread, it juat snowballed and lasted longer than anyone expected.

    The first game/set of this match was probably the toughest game Waldner had this event where he won all his matches in straight games/sets.
