  1. China Open 2019

    It was a mistake in the legend for the Fan Zhendong picture that has since been corrected.
  2. China Open 2019

    Fan is not the #11 seed.
  3. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    He does the camps mostly for the TTEDGE members. He is going to be a national junior team coach so not sure what it will mean for his long term availability.
  4. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    So I have been in Florida for this week mostly at a TTEDGE camp with Brett Clarke and co. For the first time I have come to appreciate the importance of multiball and I will start doing more of it. If you focus on technique rather than putting the shot on the table, it is a good way of...
  5. fastarc g1 + stratus power wood???

    MX-P will be slightly faster and heavier. Maybe you would need a thinner sheet depending on your level.
  6. fastarc g1 + stratus power wood???

    May be head heavy but should be fine. Any good blade goes with a good rubber. Depends on what you want.
  7. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    There is no guarantee that anyone will beat China. The point is that every player needs to take responsibility. Ito couldn't beat China's number 5. If they can't beat Ishikawa in a fair fight, let us just stop pretending they will beat China in a fair fight.
  8. Timing in TT

    When it comes to pushing, backspin tends to float so the timing that ERT gives is mostly correct but not a law. When it comes to looping, you just practice until you find your preferred timing and contact points. Any such rules will vary depending on the level of spin especially if you are...
  9. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    This is not true. Ishikawa gets two singles but Ito and Hayata get one each as well as the doubles. If they can't win they can't win. Nothing to do with Ishikawa.
  10. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    No. It is rare for first national team prospects to defect and Hayata is a first national team prospect. Yamamoto was too far down the list. Maybe if she was 30.
  11. ITTF 2019 Croatia Open May 14-18

    That is not a footwork issue IMO but it is okay. We all think differently about these things. If FZD backhand loops to Ma Long's wide forehand while Ma Long is pivoting, I don't think it is a footwork issue.
  12. ITTF 2019 Croatia Open May 14-18

    Kristian beat Pucar 4-1 so I wouldn't put it down to some general comment about his game and would rather give Anton the credit for just playing better. And my point is that he wasn't winning with a lot of service return errors from the opponent, which is what the match would have looked like...
  13. ITTF 2019 Croatia Open May 14-18

    Yeah but he had that Par Gerrell serve thing going then. This is different.
  14. ITTF 2019 Croatia Open May 14-18

    There are many more but I just picked the earlier ones.
  15. ITTF 2019 Croatia Open May 14-18

    A selection. https://youtu.be/TYsOx6F5jTI?t=389 https://youtu.be/TYsOx6F5jTI?t=63 https://youtu.be/TYsOx6F5jTI?t=87 https://youtu.be/TYsOx6F5jTI?t=93 https://youtu.be/TYsOx6F5jTI?t=171

    I hope the youtube highlights do Kallberg justice. Amazing performance.
  17. ITTF 2019 Croatia Open May 14-18

    Kallberg showing a gear I didn't know he had.
  18. ITTF 2019 Croatia Open May 14-18

    Rematch! Rematch!
  19. ITTF 2019 Croatia Open May 14-18

    Yeah, it is probably just a bad matchup and nothing about his form. Haven't seen Rumgay play in a while too. Would probably be an eye-opener to watch those matches.
  20. ITTF 2019 Croatia Open May 14-18

    Honestly, it almost looks to me like Karlsson peaked late or something. How does this guy go 4-3 vs Rumgay and lose to Dyjas 1-4 (a good player but still)?
