A good reminder that perception is not always reality and things happen that you may not be aware of.

So I would go in a different direction. I would try one or the Butterfly Balsacarbo blades, the X5 or the X7. They allow for easy controlled blocking because they are stiff but they don't rebound the ball much. And you can play an offensive game with them if you put in the work.

Like I said elsewhere, they need to introduce some kind of stress motivator into her life, maybe hold her dog or mother hostage if she doesn't win, she can't continue this Zhang Jike indifference if she can't rise to the occasion at will.

Did you read the article that the Japanese journalist wrote about how we imposed stories on the athletes based on press releases and assumptions that paint an inaccurate picture of what it is like to be on the Japanese team?

This thread may be too long, but it might give you some ideas about why it takes so long. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/backhand-topspin-tutorials-are-useless.32684/ Just remember, if you are still going to be playing in 1, 2 , 3 or 4 years time, any work you put into your...

We are mixing up a few points here (whether the current system should give points for tesm events or continental events or national events) vs tour events vs points and ELO. The WTT is trying to create a professional tour in an atmosphere where national affiliation is the core of the tour...

Ttgearlab has a review, maybe you can learn what a reasonable proxy is by reading that review.

It's a technical and timing adjustment with a focus on spin that you need to practice, but which you have not shown much interest in making when it was discussed prior. Those are pretty tough smashes so if you can make them consistently against quality balls, keep doing them. But if you want...

You are young it is best to change when you are young and get something you can use for a very long time. So yes, I would say go faster earlier, because the feeling needs to be adjusted to and you will be able to maximize the benefits with training.

The more I think about it, maybe someone who cares for Ito convinced her to play using that argument and rather than realize the person was trying to be kind to her, she actually believed their logic.

She needs to find a reason to remain delusional. Lack of tact can ruin anyone.

I don't know the number of subscribers he has, but many people have full time jobs on youtube with around 50k subscribers. And there are even top chess players who make much more money streaming chess and chatting with fans than playing at the top 10 level. Niche sports are just hard to make...

It's the new world, you can get more money as a TT influencer than as a TT professional.

There might be a rule tying ranking to some prior result in a prior event.

It is all about being able to rotate the lower body with minor lunges to the right to power the forehand, and mild squats/lunges to power the backhand. Your stance shouldn't really matter. The problem is having a healthy enough lower body to avoid injury. The flexibility of the heels plays a...
