Let's give an example not related to Ito or Harimoto. Quadri Aruna had a backhand so deficient 6 months prior to the Olympics that Chuan Chi Yuan beat Aruna so badly (in Aruna's words, CCY brought his own ball and didn't let Aruna play). At the Olympics, CCY was asked how he lost to Aruna 0-4...

Re deploy, Redploy!

I don't think I ever said great player. When I am being reflective, I really mean that critics should give some evidence of their play or some perspective of their experience so others can see where they are coming from. I will accept coaching experience too, I have seen adults who can't play...

That is fine. I am always a fan of reality. As long as you don't ignore facts, please tell any story you want.

Yeah but their names tell a different story. It's not like Japan where you change your name when you become Japanese.

Well I also feel inclined to make sure that most web coaching on TTD is done in a manner that encourages people who put out their videos in good faith to get comments from people who have at least demonstrated some willingness to discuss their game a significant amount so people understand their...

Dima is out. Oh well... so has Groth gotten better or has Dima gotten worse? Or some mix of both?

Dima doesn't seem to agree. At least Groth completely disagrees as he is up 3-0 at the moment.

What does slower really mean? And why do you think you need a fast blade?

Solja pulls it out. It would make zero sense to have Han Ying as a teammate and lose that match. Zero.

He has posted some of his whole matches a while back. I think he played Xu Hui in one of them. But he can post them again. I think he is somewhere around 2250 based on my estimate. My estimate may be off of course.

At that time ZJK wasn't interesting. So I think the original statement is correct.

Was down 0-3, got it back to 3-3 and still lost. Polcanova loses to Han Ying. Solja down vs Li Qian. Pathetic.

I watched a documentary on Tamara Boros recently. It is pretty sad that nowadays, European women's TT is all dominated by players who originally trained in Asia. Lots of work still on the horizon. I mean a lady over 50 is beating the top players in Europe.

Wang Yang is a pretty tough chopper. Apolonia lost to a good player.

To me, he isn't putting that much weight - the first loop in this sequence is what I would call putting on weight, https://youtu.be/lbDZH53LbsM?t=461 and you are close enough to me at least to what he is doing on the shots I referenced. He is just a world class athlete who can get lower and...

Lula covered almost everything, the last thing is to be sure that the serve is really short, sometimes it is better to let it come off the side and loop it or tap it, sometimes round the net, sometimes below net height, sometime across to the other sideline of the opponent for a winner. But...

Your last question, for backspin and way off the table, yes. You may not have a lot of weight but folding over the foot tends to put weight on it. So the thing about the drill with is that I can't always tell in the beginning whether you are getting lag and the arm is snapping as a result or...

Gauzy... but seriously, Gacina needs to get his rating up.

Both feet can leave the ground if both feet can spin back and forth, though being planted is likely the way to go. IT's just that your upper body is very often spinning without being really spun by your lower body, either on the backswing or forward swing or both. I played this way for obvious...
