Played for the first time since last week Sunday today. Finally got coaching from the Swedish guy here: It is funny watching that video, the way that guy is smashing his loops is crazy, those are 2600 level spin loops, definitely not the kinds of things mere mortals can smash but that guy...

Felix Lebrun and Lin Shidong are coming and Harimoto and Lin Yun Ju and Truls Moregardh are still growing. Interesting times on the horizon...

WCQ is that different and just about everyone outside the CNT especially Harimoto has acknowledged that he is that different. He plays the most low trajectory heavy topspins consistently out of any of the top players.

Share the video of what you can do so that people can understand your capabilities with data, not with abstractions that don't show what you can actually do.

I will not table what I have heard because there is no upside to me doing so. Especially when dealing with someone who takes pride in arguing as if he understands how the world works without providing any insight beyond what is publicly available and without any insight either. That someone is...

India has wealthy benefactors investing into to TT alongside a push by its government. But that is a separate and at best tangential issue to what we are discussing now. Or if you know the families and people funding Indian table tennis, we can discuss this a bit. But if not, no point wasting...

You are not sure but I am. I am curious, what have you heard about how WTT intended to professionalize table tennis and the things they tried to get more money into TT?

Disappointing ending but it is okay. Frlix is a quick learner. And Wang will destroy Ma in the final as usual. I can go to bed now.

Obviously. And no one seems to care. When Truls goes out of his way to show it is possible to unhide these things, people don't give him enough credit IMHO.

So the pendulum serves are not hidden? Or we are watching different matches?

ITTF are not WTT events and the issue is not around having a tournament but the status of the tournament in the WTT hierarchy and the funding required to support it.

Felix the Phenom! Vive la France!

Am I the only one who thinks that for a GOAT, Ma Long is given a huge pass on his hidden serves?

Wang did his job efficiently. As much as I hate the hidden serves, we really needed a quick match after those long ladies matches so we can see the match we really came to see. I didn't stay up this late to see CNT battles that happen 10 times a year.

The hidden services have pounded Lin Gaoyuan into submission. To be fair, Wang backs them up viciously and ferociously.

It is the shift in playing distances from close to the table to away from the table which he doesn't do as fluidly and confidently as players who have been doing it far longer. But over time he will continue to improve.

I don't think Szocs 1 is under 40 euros but it isnt far above either. This is what I would recommend.

Probably not corrupt enough to pay the fee for a Star Contender...

The Chinese are the best when the score is tight. Unforced errors is a subjective term, the point is still lost. He might have made a safer shot and got it counterloops past him, it doesn't count as an unforced error but it still loses the point.
