This is why we need more 3rd place matches...

Karlsson was one of the disappointments of the WTTC for me, but here he looks right. Hopefully he can keep this form for 2019 and 2020 not the WTTC impostor.

Genius. I currently use 1.8mm Fastarc C1 and it lets me feel the ball better.

Rare for me to forget players like that. Thanks.

Who is Togami? How old is he and what is his Japanese ranking?

David vs Goliath....

Wang Hao, Zhang Jike, Xu Xin etc.

Mattias, how did you prepare vs Simon Gauzy? People expected a tough match after he beat XX and the chopper but you basically took the match out of his hands with your aggression.

The last part I agree with. The first part well if you choose not to do something, whatever your excuse, it is a choice. Maybe a practical and reasonable.choice, but let's not pretend that zeio posted stuff that if you had 30 minutes you couldn't have made sense of it. I can understand why...

Zeio provided the details which you refused to read. I either read zeio on mytt or got some stuff through independent back channels from high level TT friends and coaches. Moreover, GOAT is mostly opinion. You read, evaluate and come to your own conclusion. There are hitters and pitchers...

You need to learn to quote posts when responding. And there is nothing unfair or stupid in about pointing out that ZJK got a grand slam without facing ML. Everyone can judge the relevance. But the idea that one should point out what are relatively less important aspects of the plastic ball...

So what is wrong with arguing against ML's achievements? This is exactly the issue I have with some ML fans. There is no need to make this a religion. The achievements will remain historic no matter what anyone says. But what ML fans want is fawning adulation without a hint of serious...

In life we focus on the important things. We don't focus on everything that changed, but how the changes affect us. Focusing on how the changes affected ML's matchups not just on how the changes affected TT. Less spin made some things harder but some things easier. You can credit Ma Long for...

It proves that the plastic ball era should not be naively viewed as a continuous era with the cell ball era which was my main point.

The other thing to realize is that no one is disputing that ML was a great played before the advent of the plastic ball. So the idea that he suddenly became great is framing the issue the wrong way. The question is whether there are any aspects of the changes to the plastic ball that made it...

That you think both are the same technique or used in the same way is either a joke or part of the problem with the current discussion. Out of respect for you, I suspect it is the former but humor does not travel well over the internet.

I believe ZJK did switch to T80 on the backhand over time.

He is not as physically strong as say Fan Zhendong or Liang Jingkun and that is a disadvantage with for Ma Long with the plastic ball. Happy? I believe that the serves also became less potent with the plastic ball given the Chiquita was easier to execute. The question is being framed in terms...

Timo Boll changed his style. Everyone, including Ma Long, adapts. The question is whether the changes help your strengths or your weaknesses. The overwhelming feature of Timo's game now is not spin but consistency. Ma Long evolved and adapted his game. Everyone did. But the reduced spin...

I was trying to get my game right at this time so I know what the pros were telling me. I can't argue with people who have no clue what the ball changes did to the sport and who forget that Timo and Dima went through major adjustment periods to adapt to the 2 plastic balls. The common feature...
