  1. ITTF-Pan American Cup-2025

    I think they are but there is a cap on the number that can play and the situations are sometimes special (national exceptions). But yes, he won't have that many events he can play in any more. But I am sure he likes that lol.
  2. ITTF-Pan American Cup-2025

    Only one continental - Dr Evil was speaking generally about getting points.
  3. Looking for best backhand 47.5 / 48 rubber for SALC

    He isn't responding per se to your specific situation, he is talking more about the limits of the kind of reasoning that make people think slower blades are the only thing older players can improve with. Whether you will best improve with a slower blade or not is not the same question as...
  4. Looking for best backhand 47.5 / 48 rubber for SALC

    Sometimes, when you return serves like that, it is good idea to stand just a bit further back than you usually would so that the serve has definitely revealed itself by the time you get it. Standing close to the table makes you feel like you have less time than you usually do.
  5. Nagasaki: "I've never liked table tennis that much to begin with..." (#1169)

    Nah, it could be something chronic and debilitating and might put her out of commission for the rest of her career. Will prevent her from ever winning world championship or Olympic medals which she needs to complete her resume... wait....
  6. Looking for best backhand 47.5 / 48 rubber for SALC

    Trying to flick half long topspin serves is a mistake, you need to practice judging serve length and be certain those serves are really short and tight (they could be short and still easy to loop). It's more likely they were long and you could loop them with practice. If they are really short...

    Not just that but that best of 5 allows you to adapt and learn, it is people who never adjust who never have a chance. Xu handled the serve and receive much better in the last 3 games but he needed to learn it from the first 2 games. I think he was even down in game 3 before getting a run of points
  8. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    They were cheering for Liang because they felt he was easier for their idol WCQ to beat than Lin Shidong. And it eas very obvious to me.
  9. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    I still think it was FZD and ML retiring. When is it going to be his time if not now and when the people he used to lose to are gone?

    Wang Manyu ‐ warrior mode activated.
  11. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    I still believe that LJK eas posed with the question by his coach: why not you?
  12. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    Wow, Liang shows it is possible to still outshine Lin on the backhand. Crazy.
  13. ITTF-Pan American Cup-2025

    Mo played yesterday and Pauline played a few hours ago. Do better, Panamerican schedulers. This is even worse in thr case of Kanak and Lorenzo.
  14. ITTF-Pan American Cup-2025

    Cifuentes is really strong. Plays well in French league. A good dark horse pick.
  15. ITTF-Pan American Cup-2025

    Butler said Ishiy was playing with a rib injury. We will see how much of an impact it has when he faces the solid Cifuentes.
  16. ITTF-Pan American Cup-2025

    It was his first match and not his hoke club like Kanak, I suspect he would have done better with some cannon fodder in a prior round to get match sharpened with less pressure.
  17. ITTF-Pan American Cup-2025

    He finally figured out he was winning the rallies and stopped trying to end the point in the first 6 shots.
  18. Feedback on my League games

    Don't waste time on equipment for forehand. D09c is good enough for anything you need Hurricane for unless you are really powerful. The real question is whether you are okay with D09c speed on backhand and if so, the answer is training, not equipment. Work harder at producing more variation...
  19. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    You mean in XD, since LSD is pretty much a lock as well. The question will be whether she plays singles or not and that is pretty open. I am sure SYS and WMY are still ravenous and I suspect CXT and WYD have not entirely yielded either though KM is clearly capable.
