    Even if so, this method of exploiting the loophole even if technically correct/legal is still the issue worth discussing. People make it sound as if it was all about timeout not about the ability of Hayata to talk to her cosch during the timeout even if accidentally.

    This is my opinion as well, but everyone is allowed their own opinion.

    What I respect about Tomo, Felix, Truls and even to a lesser degree the other younger greats like Alexis, Darko, LYJ, AJH is the refusal to believe that everything is set in stone and their willingness to try things that will manifest over a long time to improve their game. Which is partly...

    Nittaku balls are definitely not spinnier and in my opinion they require more power to get good effect. I really think they should be taken off thr market but Nittaku has the reputation of quality so...

    If they had played an event just before and transitioned to new tables here it would be a bigger deal. But by the finals, while I hate the Nittaku ball with a passionate think the DHS balls and DFish balls are better, at this stage, having beaten so many players, it will only be a factor if the...

    @TensorBackhand , President of the Harimoto Haters Club, your comments are welcome in the moment.

    Wow with the medical timeout assist, he does it. Amazing.

    Yeah but Hayata added a different level since her trainer/masseuse was her coach as well.

    Looks like he won't be allowed to tape his leg. Oh well. Looks like it has been granted but just massage. I think WCQ will raise his level in response lol.

    Harimoto can't push that serve he needs to do better. Edit: he does better but loses the ensuing rally. Tough luck.

    Regardless of result, this is a huge victory for Harimoto and a reminder that speed is not everything in table tennis even at the top level and that timing always matters.

    Yes, he is human. You can't go faster than he does but you can still do things to throw him off. Felix showed this already. Harimoto is showing it now just in a different way.

    Lin usually lost to better players as well, but he deserved one. It's unfortunate he never got one.

    The ball is easy, but the read has to be adjusted to and you don't adjust to it by assuming it is a ball you know and then trying to kill it. You adjust to it by seeing what happened the first time and rather than repeating that, taking something off it or taking it earlier or later at a lower...

    The lady discusses it but a high level, your partner has served a backspin ball so no matter what your opponent does to it with long pips, it will have light to heavy topspin on it on the return. The worst is that it will come back dead. You take it late and lift it off the table. The...

    Pleasantly surprising result. Chen finally has something like the one win that Lin Gapyang never had lol.

    Your forearm usage is now better and you are committed to using it to drive the ball on both sides which is good. It's not the best way to play but it is one of the good templates for amateur players at a certain level and mastering how to use it to spin and drive eill take you far as long as...

    Chen Xingtong is in the avatar state. Sun Yingsha had better enter it as well or she is going down.
