The elevation didn't matter when he was winning?

It is the JNT logjam , too many players competing for too few spots. But they are all arguably top 15 players by quality.

Japanese team selection is competitive and the trials were won by a surprising player (Rin Mende). That brought it down to Odo vs Nagasaki and the committee went with Nagasaki. And strictly speaking, this was just after Nagasaki had beaten Wang Yidi and Odo had a period of underperformance...

Will be nice to see what Paranang did that @zeio can use to buttress his case against Winter. Will also be nice to see what Morsch did vs Itagaki.

It is a bit overpriced in terms of materials and can be built from a badminton racket and fishing line. But it is easily the best device and without it I would not have trained as much TT as I have done over the years.

Leaving aside the lack of tranalation which is for @Dan and @NDH to decide the merits of when the rules are updated, the stats simply reflect that Hayata was a late developer and the phrase "worst" is a choice based on perspective. Hirano never returned to her 2017 peak and still lacks an...

Maybe if Hirano hadn't relaxed against Hashimoto as your expert insight noticed, then Hashimoto might have been better prepared to face Odo. I guess Hirano needed to call Odo to the meeting...

It is a normal result between these players, Odo has gotten to Mima Ito levels against choppers and Hashimoto in particular.

Won't stop the physics experts from speaking confidently on the game though unfortunately.

Remind us how your real experience counseling a teammate with Hina Hayata's wrist injury panned out and how it entitled you to tell Hayata all kinds of things about the risks she should take and how since then, she took your advice, didnt win the bronze medal and recovered to play again at her...

Well lets collect data like @songhas and see what the experts do. The we can determine. I have seen too many physicists with unimpressive playing levels use their experience to argue these issues when they might not rven know how to serve well illegally.

I dont think it is right but I am not a physicist so I don't put too much into physics. What I do know is that very often , things that people who understand physics argue have no practical effect on table tennis. My favorite example is peole saying that only the time the ball is in contact...

The first 6 points of a match can be so deceptive lol....

Hirano looking fit again - sharper than the last event. which is good for her.

Uda - out, Sahai - out, Shinozuka - out, Yoshimura.: (I sent Uda home so life goes on....)

Forecast was correct but the matchup was disappointing - Sato knows how to play defenders lol... probably from ancient practice with Hashimoto...

Wen-Shinozuka ... game 1 fooled us into thinking we had a match coming....

I gave an example in my response to @songdavid98 . You can't see backward tosses when the direction is not side on to the table ao the balls are deceptively heavy. I remember playing a guy and wondering where all the spin was coming.from. A rules enforcing umpire faulted his serves during a...

Sure, feel free to share your spinsight data even as it misses the point. One of the issues with non vertical tosses is that they aren't easy to pick up for the opponent in many cases. So it isn't purely about the physics but also about the perception of the receiver. Keep the height the same...
