Where's the website where one can track the scores and results?

It was a close match. I am happy Fan didnt play, he has suffered enough mentally with these burdens and expectations, and unlike Ma Long, he left early enough for Wang to have a chance. I await Wang vs Fan whenever it comes up.

He is clearly slower? Seriously? So what was he beating Lin Shidong by before he came back?

How does Kou Lei do it lol?

Thanks, when I say guide over the side top, I am really thinking follow through but I forget that language doesn't always work the way I think it does.

I suspect though I could be wrong that too much credit is being given to the overall league structure and too little to what the teams can afford/want when it comes to the foreign players. Also some of the teams have legacy structures from prior years that affect who gets placed where.

Take a full step back, maybe more and then just guide the ball back by touching the side and then the top in one fluid motion. If that gives them too much time and you are still losing points after bringing the ball back, try to do the same thing closer to the table, but keep the racket high so...

Yet he beat Xu Yingbin. It's not a mathematical science and he is getting older.

Xu Yingbin is a problem opponent of sorts, the struggles is not entirely unexpected, happy to see Fan found his best form quickly enough.

Yan An is a retiree and more of a contemporary of the likes of Fang Bo etc. and arguably Ma Long, Zhang Jike etc. FZD as always is all class.

You prefer Jekyll and Hyde to EFC 54 even though EFC 54 is more similar to your original rubber?

I tried it and it didn't feel that way. But maybe if was overthinking it.

More brush, trying to catch the ball before releasing it, and following the shape of the ball with your stroke, especially your whip structure and fingers. You mighr take the ball earlier or later and see what happens. The ball tends to slow down the further you are from thr table which means...

For 25 years out, it is a great start. I would second @Tyce 's advice about getting in person coaching though given your local club situation, it might be hard to get. There are a few things I would change, but I am also a specific player with a very specific approach to the game, my focus in...

Great video on a highly underdiscussed topic - how context changes the demands of the same stroke.

My point is that the main source of the power is a backswing that enables you to pull the racket into the ball. When the elbow is leading the stroke when you want more power so it is not so much to the side as in front of you. In fact as the racket comes forward the elbow tends to go backward...

Okay, I think the biceps should contract slightly but not massively.. I am basically saying that your backswing is more like Tom here and it should be more like Liam when you go for power. Even if your juat point your racket towards you at thr end of the backswing that should get you most of...

The body usage seems a bit wrong, you don't need to rotate the shoulder too much but you do need to lean forward so you have room to backswing into your body. Your backswing is starting too far out and with not enough of a C shape to swing forward with power. You should feel that your...

This will be interesting to see, i suspect what the coach is teaching is different from the dominant backhand paradigm but only video will tell.

It's not a one size fits all equation to be honest - a lot of it is really in *SHOT SELECTION*. Speed can be more important that spin but it is all about consistency ultimately in producing that speed or spin and whether you can hit all the shots you need to hit to win points vs various...
