It is probably better you don't, it always looks worse on video than your brain pretends it was.

Yep. Mine clearly degraded compared to my new sheets but I still play well with them.

Adam always puts in effort to win. His style just doesn't register with what most people think is serious table tennis. But one of the reasons that people don't let like Adam is because it is a hard style. Lin was just way too strong for it to matter.

Everything was sick. It kinda reminded me of when I played Filip Szymanski in a handicap match at Westchester (I was spotted seven points). I won the first game 11-1. It was downhill from there. I couldn't put a ball past him and the ball kept thing back with crazy spin from incredible...

09c is IMO more about being able to take bigger swings at the ball close to the table because of the tackiness. If that is what you are looking for then go for it. But it definitely isn't the fastest rubber out there. Openers are still largely about your effort IMO.

If you want a looping rubber, sure but if you want to punch and block, not the best fit. If you don't topspin consistently and powerfully, it is hard to get the ball moving with D09c.

Definitely D80 or D64. D09C is likely a step in the wrong direction.

Try to get something that shows the lower body. You are overusing the upper arm on some shots but the stroke looks good.

Hinoki has a feeling that for some people discourages giving good impact to the ball. But your post is very valuable as I think people sometimes miss the essence of providing a high quality ball is to look for technique/timing that produces it, not necessarily to mimicking everything a pro does...

I think you should use whatever you want. It won't make your game that much better or worse - the main thing is that you enjoy playing with it and the rest becomes a matter of training hours. IMHO, the key to fast equipment is to play for the rally and the key with slower equipment is to...

Kihara and Harimoto should have something to say about that no?

Sanity is greatly underrated in these days of Covid19.

Yeah I once told people that I felt he hits a higher quality ball than Lin Gaoyuan. You look at his build and you would never believe it but you can see the trouble his opponents have with his spin level. I also found the video excerpt of his weight training interesting. It looked like Fido...

Is this good enough to help us get our lives back to normal? https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/23/health/covid-19-convalescent-plasma-eua-white-house/index.html

To be a bit imaginative, Lord Mizutani has a chance as well. It is a tiny chance but he has a victory over Xu Xin and can play at the relevant level.

Thanks for the detailed analysis. I understood the strategy when I saw the full pairings. The problem is that you need to get your best player in singles in early (Liang) and I guess his being the only righty in the team made him hard to fit into the dual match slot. But delaying him until...

Maybe only Wang wanted to play Ma Long. I don't blame the others for being so scared lol. Ma Long was fire today!

Wang Chuqin pushed a lot of half-long serves into the forehand - he must have believed the hype of Ma Long's serve. Yet the two times he looped the serves in the game I remember, he won the point. I suspect his inability to read serve length is only exploitable by CNT.

Finally one game lives up to the hype!

Amongst immortals, sure...
