To me, the balls (D40+) are similar enough to Nittaku Premium but the most common complaint I hear is that these balls have less spin than Nittaku, not more spin, but who knows. In Ma Long's specific case, given he was the king of the plastic era with the DHS 40+, I get it. But the D40+ ball...

She had won it quite a few times as a Chinese too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Table_Tennis_Championships She won in 1988 which needs some explaining given the story.

Curious, what should one learn from the video?

The three problems are eliminated. Spinless is a matter of personal preference.

I disagree with a lot of this, even when agreeing with some of it. Most people I know already hit through spin with the seamless balls so I am not sure I agree with this. The thing about the ABS 40+ balls is that they are faster than the seamless balls and the ball trajectories are more in...

I watched the "fault" call and it is another good example of why the idea of 6 inches between the ball and the hand is proof of a 6 inch toss is nonsense.

The reason why the closed training is an "issue" is because of the ball changes. Without that, it would be far less of an issue.

There are 7 different 3* ITTF approved balls at least. I am a bit of a ball expert, having bought and tested every ball and played with various types of equipment for every ball, I just don't talk about it. 1. Made in China old DHS - this is the cellulose acetate ball that was used in WTTC...

I could play with the Xu Shaofa, I even had decent results with the Dfish egg. I just hated the DHS egg and its clones. I mean don't get me wrong, I may come to rue the loss of spin, but I am a heavy spin player by nature, I left equipment with more spin to use equipment with more control...

No, they are comparing the ball to the old cellulose acetate ball. China built a whole practice venue for their team in Rio, do you think they would skimp on the cost of ordering only 3* NP40+ balls for training? They are complaining that their spins and strokes don't draw errors like they...

I agree. What I mean is that some amateurs actually prefer those crappy balls as well and complain about the lack of spin on ABS balls. For me, consistency is far more important than spin.

But they were using the Nittaku ball not the DHS D40+ ball. So they can't complain. The spin is less on all ABS balls. But I personally can spin the D40+ comfortably and have no complaints about it. People still miss my serves etc.

You would be surprised. You would be surprised.... Yo be fair to DHS, their D40+ ball is similar to Nittaku and is excellent.

How can he screw up teams he didn't even coach? The ladies coaching team is basically the same. The men won the team event. The women won the team event. In the singles, it was all Miu Hirano. For the men's Ma Long lost despite having his usual coach. Xu Xin lost with a new coach, but with...

I think the second match is on CCTV 5, yes?

The match was on CCTV5+ and I was watching CCTV 5 - stupid me!

The serve warning was not the same as the reason for the fault. The second serve was clearly a fault and the umpire can call it without hesitation after giving a warning for something else. I think the warning was about how he tossed the ball from his palm. The actual fault was clearly a...
