I don't agree with this at all, but I understand the opinion.

Never been to Triangle TTC in NC. Was at Lucky Shoals and AITTA.

Played yesterday and today on vacation in Atlanta. I am probably around 1900 in level now. My backhand is very close to where it was before I stopped, probably better because I don't have the movement to use my forehand so I sit on the backhand. The forehand is technically a better stroke but...

Again, the stroke is level appropriate. It is better than the first video but you don't have a strong spin orientation. The whip motion is still overly controlled. But it is a good start. One of the things we have to accept is that building a stroke requires you to build the muscles and...

Throwing a frisbee is a great analogy. If you watch the video TKH13 is throwing a frisbee. Just not the way you want him to. I don't think topspin and backspin are that different, the issue is always the power of the incoming ball and the amount of power you need to generate a quality...

I agree. But I have spent enough time doing all the things you mention (including coaching adults) to conclude that adults almost never learn the right thing the first time because their physical strength and desires t to hit the ball hard makes them seek ball quality using muscles that a child...

TKH13, The stroke looks level appropriate. A better stroke is too complicated to teach over the internet but involves a better use of the core to support the stroke.

It played like a brick. Just like BRS said. Loved the handle but never felt I was the one controlling the ball when I tested it. Way too stiff.

I found the Force Pro Black edition to be the blade where the populat description was so far from my experience using it that I decided I must be hallucinating. I found the blue edition far more to my taste.

Maybe. There isn't a volley rule so most people accept the point is over once the ball is past them.

You physically moved the table?

I will remind you of this wisdom if you return to your posts to discuss how to save table tennis as they almost entirely rely on if this and that then what. .lol.

You make fair points but I don't think any sport that pays $100k as top prize for its most competitive event is that lucrative. If the endorsements he will get can make him a multimillionaire, sure and I guess that there might be a couple of top stars doing similar things. Unlike tennis or...

You don't know how much of a genius he is. Top level grandmasters make money but one who was a world championship finalist as a youth quit playing to attend medical school and played causally later in life. I want him to stay. But people who are good at TT can sometimes make more money doing...

Money. "Normal" is relative. The problem with TT though is money. If he was as good at tennis as he was at table tennis, there would be no sense in retiring for a job that paid far less.

He expected he would be playing Fan Zhendong or Harimoto after Harimoto had given him cover by beating Fan Zhendong.

Mizutani beat LJK. LGY's fault? Calderano beat FZD. LGY's fault? I suspect your not-so subtle argument is that XX could have done better than LGY. Well, XX will have chances to prove this in WTTC next year. But Harimoto is improving. When the XX record will shift is anyone's guess.

If LGY was righthanded he would be the perfect Harimoto clone.

Can anyone see anything on the ittf website? This is ridiculous.

Only one person said it was evil and it is because he hates the word "clone" (hopefully he is not as allergic to the word "copy").. I was actually pointing out that it is likely the reason that He Zhuojia is improving and getting more opportunities. Thanks for bringing more information. We may...
