  1. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    Are Togami and Harimoto so good vs chop that Slovakia didn't even bother trying Wang lol?
  2. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    Japan gave Korea hope with that men's doubles performance vs Sweden - Korea will be fielding their A-team tomorrow for sure, they have already given Japan all the bulletin board material they need if Japan needs any.
  3. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    They arguably should play all the matches and let some teams win 15-0 lol.
  4. A good 'can do anything' short pips for BH?

    Pips won't really solve the problem unless you don't like to topspin in general. Backswing is critical on openups, people who don't introduce wrist flexion into their backhand tend to struggle with it, even with pips. But maybe the ball might be more disturbing. Degu is a spinnier pip, the...
  5. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    I think this is innovation partly inspired by the Indian League which may have predecessors I am unaware of (since the Indian league has had this format for years apart from the Golden Game, I think it is fair to give them the credit). I think it might actually become an Olympic event if there...
  6. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    Looking like this will come down to Ionescu and Movileanu vs Lebrun and Lebrun or something like that.
  7. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    I like Bernie but it will make more sense if France goes through to the next round. I guess Romania is slightly hurt by not having Eduardo around.
  8. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    I guess Felix didn't want to carry this form to WJTTC.
  9. Olah Benedek (Finland)

    One of my favorite players to watch, powerful on both sides but especially his backhand.
  10. Butterfly Falcima for noobies

    The slower the blade, the more if forces you to spin. I would actually go for the Glayzer 09c and 05 even though you won't use it for long because it will help you develop looping technique and discourage flat hitting because if you don't spin, you can't win.
  11. what happened in this match

    Sounds like the regulations made her play for some reason so she protested with the quality of her play.
  12. what happened in this match

    This is clearly weird, someone needs to explain this, but TT is a broke sport.
  13. How to return a forehand loop with side spin away from you

    Iike the part about guiding a lot. You do your shot, see what happens to the ball, and then use that as feedback to figure out how to adjust the next time. Over time, you should get to a good shot with a decent placement. Too long, close and swing more over the ball. Into the net, make...
  14. WTT Feeder Series-2023

    Mengel has played intergalactic table tennis in these feeders - a couple of samples - I will leave the match and celebration at the end of Dusseldorf as homework, lol:
  15. How to return a forehand loop with side spin away from you

    Table tennis is a sport you play more than you intellectualize, it is best to experiment to learn these things if possible. If not, don't stress over it, try things until something works, it is the pressure of the point that wreaks havoc on your patience to try things out, but once you let that...
  16. TTD vs Craig Bryant and USATT rating estimate

    Very fast hands. Sleight of hand is amazing.
  17. Video Footage Safe Thread

    To be fair to myself, the guy posted many points he won against a 2250 player. If we took those points as being representative and the rating as given, that makes him higher than 2250. 2250 is not a joke rating, it is dominant rating of players in divisions 2 and 3 of the NA Teams, to give one...
  18. WTT World Youth Champs in Slovenia

    Continental championships are not the same as the world championships, everyone has a different priority there. So saying that a player didnt play continental events doesn't mean much. But whatever the reason Felix will be fine. Whether he decided to come back to play WJTTC is entirely up to him.
  19. WTT World Youth Champs in Slovenia

    It is good that I am watching so much TT now that my memories are beginning to blur.
