  1. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    At least the fans are clearly engaged. I think as long as it is relatively clean and civil the athletes appreciate that.
  2. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    "Super Fast Carbon" sounds like hyperbole, but if you can move and hit the ball like Hugo, you can use anything you want. Most players, after trying it and fatiguing or hurting their arms and shoulders trying to get more pace on loops and blocks, will gladly take a bit more help from the...

    You are too nice, pointing out the obvious...
  4. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    With Harimoto and Hayata playing WD together vs Hong Kong, how big is this purported timeout-gate beef at the moment and can it derail Team Japan? The thing about beef is that you may have absolutely zero beef with someone, and someone may have absolutely zero beef with you, but at third party...
  5. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    They wanted Alexis to play Jang Woojin in singles. It might have had to do with Felix's preferred XD partner. Almost worked too, but very dependent on Alexis.
  6. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    Sweden might waste a great effort from Bergstrom. But maybe not. It is funny how you would expect their weakness to be the women's matchup and the worst scoreline is Anton losing 0-3 to Dang.

    Hugo is not a fan of carbon so I don't understand all the carbon blade suggestions. That said, given how badly Xiom handled his World Cup win and the stocking of his blade, i would not blame Hugo for leaving them. That said, I will believe it when I see it.

    Is that framework for gaining and retaining newcomers in pickleball replicable for TT and if not why?
  9. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2025 - 4-9 NOV 2025

    If you look at the Youtube video comments, or watch later in the video, turns out Anders Lind tore a muscle in his hip/thigh that needed about 2 weeks to recover from the pain.
  10. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    Most of the Australians are young and really good for their level and many of them are children of immigrants from Asian or even European countries with a passion for table tennis. The gap between Australia and the rest of the world will narrow as some of these kids get older and mature since...
  11. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    Okay. The stats you just provided, can you please give the context underlying the stats and who the opponents were and what comparable players you would consider good do under similar conditions? "You" didn't mean "Tony". "You" could be anybody including me. That's what I mean when I said...
  12. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    Yes/ We have had this debate over using the eye test vs statistics where you have no clue what the quality of the opponents are. But these are the matches I have watched.
  13. Marty Supreme table tennis film

    Here is a review from a movie reviewer I tend to watch: Strong reviews from any sources, currently well over 90% on Rotten Toimatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/marty_supreme I don't think the movie will do much for TT but it will be fun to watch for sure. Or entertaining if not fun...
  14. Coach Xiao Han is so funny

    Here is another channel that gives her a different AI voice lol: https://www.youtube.com/@FreeCoachBradHan Emrathich https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnSKFBegbrmthE8oNU_pwz-ffBLCoTNrI There is even one that claims to be official which I can't find any more - she can make a lot of money...

    To whom it may concern: Google translates this as Chinese Taipei. I have cleaned up the posts related to this contention. Thank you. If any further issues, please take it up in private with the moderation team. Public criticism of moderator decisions prior to privately discussing concerns...

    Lutz is good at doubles. In the end people are still figuring out this format. PoppaChubby was spot on about how confusing it is to pick a team.
  17. Coach Xiao Han is so funny

    There are actually a few others that also use her videos so ia that officially hers? The lady reallly uhderstanda amateur table tennis which is why i like her. She has clearly tried to coach adult amateur players without the right childhood background and worked around their limitations.
  18. Video Footage Safe Thread

    That's fine, the most important thing is to find someone who is willing to work with you, figure out what you are good at and help you build your game around doing it to win points. If you are mostly happy with your level and your limitations, just continue to have fun working on stuff. If...
  19. At what skill level would a hard (48-50 deg and up) FH rubber improve the game?

    It's not that straightforward in my experience and knowing what i do about equipment and what pros use. "Soft" is a dangerous word because 47‐48 is not soft, and sponge hardness is not the same thing as pip configuration and pip configuration conveys hardness as well. If you are speaking about...
  20. What is your killing / signature shot ?

    Backhand topspin vs backspin or no spin cross court. Forehand topspin fake cross court, loop down the line. Backhand and forehand wipe/fade down the line.
