In a recent interview, Sora also spoke about training with Harimoto more. I wonder who benefited more from that lol.

It is the kind of take that dependent on motivated reasoning. Has Harimoto ever won a slam before? Sora could pretty much have won both. What will be more interesting is whether the countermeasures Harimoto has deployed vs lefties are sustainable.

Well Europe Smash has already started. The transition will be interesting. While no one likes to lose, all things considered, many of the Europeans will take the timezone adjustment consolation prize for losing early.

The match is already over after game 4. Just a matter of time.

The fans have good eyesight. Oh's level up is significant. Hari-bauer might need to come out today.

The theme for today might be don't bet against Harimotos in Japan lol...

Both players are attacking thr middle really hard lol.

I agree. That said, you get the same feeling with even the Harimoto SALC or SZLC or ZLC relative to their speed - lots of softness and vibration. Harimoto just approves pillows with his name on them.

Finals Picks: Chen, Harimoto (now watch Miwa and Oh make me look like an idiot....)

I heard through the grapevine that it was a minor issue that bothered him that the doctors offered to help him address so he accepted.

Can go 0-4 in these semis for sure lol.

While it wasn't Sora vs Woojin, Hiruto vs Felix was also a banger. Hard picks. Wang, Chen , Chen Sora, Hiroto, Sora Will revise if I miss.

I will take that bet for sure. You will hate the Harimoto ALC with Digincs 09c on both sides.

While they are broadly for offensive players, they are not that similar, no. Harimoto blades really absorb to the ball to a degree that not everyone will like. They have a much bigger pillow dynamic that any Butterfly carbon blade I have ever played with.

I get the desire to measure but measurement is sometimes driven by agenda. He will know what he needs to know when he gets there. He is a hood player but for his age, he is not a national level player. He has a lot of work to do.

That is a problematic conversion, likely outdated and from a time when more world class players played in USATT rvents like maybe the 1990s, Pro B does have some 2800 players like Pucar. But I would say the typical range is more 2550‐2750. 2850 players are higher rated than Kanak lol.

The Euro Smash is already in prelims. Truls has a lot of his ranking tied up in the Euro Smash. The question is whether to optimize rest and preparation and avoid switching timezones so close to the event when you have the choice vs playing and dealing with the recovery and jet lag. I suspect...

So i should take it that you dont understand English? So someone coming short of expectations is "useless"? Someone who won the Japanese national.chsmps (now twice in a row) was being compared to Sun Yang, a chopper who has no such achievements? Someone who lost one match to Kenji Matsudaira...

This match, the points and sound effects feel more like a boxing match than a table tennis match. It is like people are smashing into each other until one gives up over and over again.

I think if Shinozuka was playing his old style herniated disk or not, no one would care about his chances for 3rd place. When people play better, people are allowed to change their minds. Even you on Sora. We havent heard about his uselessness in a while. If Shinozuka can beat Harimoto...
