She has changed her equipment. Even the way she plays with it is now different. She has gone back to something closer to SP. She isn't chop blocking as much if at all.

The idea that Cheng Yinghua and Larry Hodges are questionable sources is not something I can accept. They are both USATT Hall of famers and Cheng was a practice partner for China's penholders in the 80s and a strong world class player even well after his prime. So the word "clone" is what...

An ancestor very likely did. In any case, I have dabbled in enough philosophy etc. Let's get back to TT.

How did you raise your children? How do you treat your wife? Do you favor them over others, or do you treat strangers like them?

He did beat Harimoto convincingly the last time they played... that said, so did Calderano...

People do adjust their games to mimic opponents, especially in *practice*. It depends on a variety of things, but the main one is the shot sequence that the opponent prefers. One thing I mentioned, and I could be seeing things, but no one has taken me up to discuss it, is that He Zhuojia seems...

IT's called "The Modern Denial of Human Nature".

The first thing is that it is not a myth: http://www.masatenisi.org/english/secrets.htm The second thing is that it is no different from having someone play a certain style so that you can practice against it, which you have pointed out. What I don't get is that I would never pretend you are...

No one is being played and exploited. We are all intelligent teens/adults who know how to think. We come here to have fun. Soccer teams have fans. Players have fans. National teams have fans. Corporations have fans. No one is naively embracing anything just because they do not agree with you.

It's really funny how far some people will go to pretend that the world is not a certain way.

This is a funny post. If I call Hao Shuai "the Timo Boll clone", does that mean Hao Shuai was raised and bred and gave up his whole life to play like Timo Boll in order to support the main team? Since you described what the "cloning" process is like, where a player simply mimics an opponent...

Here is my crazy theory - Mima Ito has given He Zhuoja more opportunity as she is probably the Mima Ito clone. And this has lead to her changing aspects of her game to be more like Ito. And this is making her a better player even if more conventional. Because he balls look like she is using a...

Okay. But that doesn't make Sali anything close to racist. Human beings form all kinds of groups to co operate and compete. One of these groups call themselves the CNT. They try to beat foreigners. They publicly admit to all this. They are also incredibly successful and are the Goliath...

Unfortunately, Harimoto was not as enthused.

Is it me or is He Zhuoja using a faster and spinnier pip setup?

Kaizoku, No. My "theory" relies on LGY's domination of XX since the Marvelous 12. LGY and even LJK have outperformed XX internally in Superleague and trials. Even watch LGY's interview after the match. He isn't politically correct about his chances. He says he should have the upper hand...

Maybe. I am used to it in international competition and in many team sports. But maybe I am just the one who isn't sensitive and liberal enough to see the slippery slope. I think this is clearly a Goliath issue and has nothing to do with racism. If Germany won all thr time, the sentiments...

Come on, nothing wrong with rooting against Goliath.

Anyone who watches the second game and the third game and thinks XX was not trying is really a true XX fan.

LGY has been beating Xu Xin for a while now and should really have beaten him in WTTC 2017. However well you think Xu Xin played, LGY knows how to defuse XX.
