  1. World Tour Grand Finals 2018

    Ma Long is looking like a beast again in the CSL. He gets my vote.
  2. How to improve from 2000 to 2200

    Both are equally important. I know this in part because I have tried coaching players in different contexts and seen some of the limitations of things I recommended to them.
  3. Joola bought Joola

    I think the American company makes enough money off things related to the brand that they are interested in owning it. The NA teams is a pretty huge tournament with over $100k in entry fees alone. It would be better to control the brand even if the equipment is not profitable than to make a new...
  4. How to improve from 2000 to 2200

    Not on a regular basis unless the drills you do push you a lot and the quality of the lower level player when doing drills is similar to better players but their main issue is movement. You need to see quality balls come back to get better. I actually thought that it was possible to get better...
  5. How to improve from 2000 to 2200

    The most important thing, by far and way, is to have an equal or higher level training partner and to work out a few hours a week, on average at least an hour a day, with that partner. Compared to that, the rest is mostly gist.
  6. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    No. Taking a break from the game. Maybe early next year.
  7. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    Not at all. Just find the return to Tenergy interesting. I might have predicted it a while back.
  8. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    Hmmm...
  9. North American Championships 2018

    In the neighborhood...
  10. China Super League 2018

    Is Shandong Luneng cheating? Is it legal to field a team with Ma Long, Yan An, Shang Kun and Zhang Chao?
  11. China Super League 2018

    That was comprehensive. Total Victory!
  12. Site to stream ITTF when stream rights notice comes up

    I use Opera for ITTF tournaments and don't remember any major problems with speed. And it is a commercial quality VPN in terms of security despite being free. The other options will take you down rabbit holes unless you want to part with cash. That said, it might be different if you are not...
  13. Austrian Open 2018

    Draw is not according to world ranking but rather according to Tour standing.
  14. Austrian Open 2018

    Dima was mostly injured and played a much smaller schedule. Otherwise he would have made it. Timo played a smaller schedule as well but is more lucky.
  15. Austrian Open 2018

    Using your efficiency metric, he is still in the top half of that list. And everyone else on that list is at least 5 years older than he is. Why does he have to collect more to justify the hype? Other than Benedikt Duda at the Swedish Open and Filus at the German Open, most of his losses have...
  16. Why waiting for back spin balls drop before looping back works.

    All this is theory... post videos of your loops vs chops or reference some advanced player in a video so that we can see what you mean... a lot of people say a lot of stuff but don't want to show what they mean with video.
  17. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Congrats, Champ!
  18. Austrian Open 2018

    He should have calculated a bit harder as playing Xu Xin or Fan Zhendong in your first match is not how you want to play in these events. That said, he may decide not to play.
  19. Austrian Open 2018

    With LGY's regression, I agree this is possible. But LJK has to convert on major opportunities and in trials. This is where LGY usually has the advantage.
  20. Austrian Open 2018

    It looks like Chen Meng is adding Zhu Yuling's skills to her repertoire. Zhu Yuling is clearly trying to develop a more offensive mindset now though after the Ito debacle last weekend. But Chen Meng is just staying in balance and taking advantage of Wang Manyu.
