Landing balls deep is good but don't get too enamored with it if you can't land 50 loops in a row against basic block under pressure - too many players get enamored with what happens when their loops go right and don't have backup for when their loops are not landing beyond defaulting to lame...

People make all kinds of statements about the physics of table tennis that are really comments on their experience of how difficult it is to do things with balls at certain points in the travel trajectory and are far less about physics. That's why I laugh at where you are coming from, these...

Goals keep you going whether you achieve them is not entirely about you...

I think in the end, it was good for Honoka. She played Almaty and won, and she beat He Zhuojia, a traditional problem opponent for her. She might have gotten to play Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu at the Champions but I don't think the value in ranking points or personal belief would have been as...

Participated in a team event that was locally hosted. It had golden scoring and best of 3 matches, 9 matches, 3 doubles, 6 singles for a first to 14 games. It was double elimination and my team won our first match but lost our next two. Too much work, too little time. But I think I see...

I thought since Ito was an Olympic gold medallist that Japan would get an extra spot. Or they got one and Hashimoto still didn't fit?

Waiting for the Tieba crowd to say it was only Zhou Qihao etc. ..

Congrats to Shunsuke Togami! Finally!

Togami defending lol....

3-2 6-1 to 3-2 6-7... Togami doesnt want you to celebrate, he wants you to have a heart attack...

Now it is 2-2. Can Togami put the ball on the table just one more time than his opponent? Even at the pro level, hitting winners is sometimes overrated....

Zyre - playing with fire...

Zhou is fighting through it. The problem with playing this fast is what happens when the misses pile up. Does Togami have a good lower gear?

Togami is hitting the ball so hard the opponent needs to get the first attack. It is unusual for Zhou to survive such.... but he is trying ideas for sure. 2-0 now.

Ninja table tennis is in the building!

I think the issues are more than that, I think Saro also uses traditional LP though i could be wrong. You need variation to keep these attackers off you you need variation

I think they will need to bring out a Sun Yingsha Wang Manyu pairing. They really should let these chopping ladies try for LA 2028

Best of seven i think helps him, his opponent has been on form for a while now so Togami really needs help.

Doubles is interesting. Matsushima killed Yuan Licen. Few would argue that Yogami and Xu are not on the same level. Yet this doubles match is consistently being won by the pairing of "worse players"

Am I the only one who forgets why Yuan Licen is a CNTvplayer until I watch matches like this?
