She almost bottled it too, should not have gone 5.

Which is why Lee Eunhye (and I suspect I know where you will go next) beat her 3-0 at the mixed team world cup? Every KNT player is different (and yes even the combination opponents are different).

Oh I have said it elsewhere, fro a serious player on offense, carbon blade with the celluloid ball was a monster. Now, Carbon blade with the plastic ball is a necessity.

Smart. I did wonder about the wisdom of playing back to back events after advancing so far in the Champions. Harimoto and Jang have a different drummer....

Leo DeNordrest beats An Jaehyun.. .I guess one Frenchman is not struggling with Koreans though I have to see the highlights of that one to wrap my head around the score.

It seems that way on the surface. Buy if you try it you might be surprised.

I have a friend (peak rating 2250, curr 2100) who uses it on the forehand of a Primorac Carbon. won his most recent U2100 tournament with it, Softer outer make Zyre feel really good. Just saying.

Attack of the clones...

Where did it say this? Are you of one those guys who confuses "rallying" with "mid-distance looping"?

I play close to the table...

Making the opponent move is a skill. They have gotten good at it because they realize that if they don't do it early you will have an easier time during the point making them move. You are still in the mindset of fighting with fitness and vigor so you want to outmuscle everyone. IT takes...

Play however you feel comfortable. Thinking about what you can or cannot do is a recipe for disaster. What your training has made comfortable is what you will feel comfortable doing. If you see that you have no chance but to get uncomfortable to win, then do that. But it is normal to just...

You are young, warm up both times as long as it is not affecting other important things. Playing well in TT is not so much about effort but about sharpness. When you have put in the work to get to a playing level, when your body is comfortable, it just express itself. Finding ways to get on...

People think blades are formula 1 racing cars. They are more like a pair of jeans.

Thanks for the sustained effort, @Matt Hetherington . Hopefully it will be good news and wishing you and Joola the best (and hoping Hugo can come to Baltimore as well - miss those old Joola pro teams).

Not really, this happens in an even more similar form when you have back to back feeder/contender/star contender events - usually, the top Chinese would pull out but not this time. My eye is on the Harimoto draw - was hoping he would get Xue Fei early - didn't get my wish, but there is a path...

Improvement in TT is hard - you spend a lot of time looping and getting tougher and then you find out that it was the chance to train with that 2200 player and block his loops that really improved your game as you blocked down all your opponents to win the title... But seriously, it doesn't...

Good point, and there's another point I forgot to make: It is dangerous to go through a period of intense training and expect your training to show up in a nearby tournament. Sometimes, the lag in improvement can be as much as 6 months.

When you train with a player who can't block your regular loops, if they are actually trying to block, you have to pick between power and consistency. You can't put all the responsibility on them if they are trying to block but cannot but you need to get your reps in. You need to find your...

It's not my job to defend you, it's yours. The problem as I have framed it has very little to do with Joola - it has to do with implying that somehow, Matt's posts are unreliable because of Joola's corporate history. It's hard to understand integrity in any other context related to Hugo's...
