ZJK is one of my favorite players. Some people take things too seriously.

Yeah, and he showed up to play. I have read the pingfun translations so no, I wasn't ignorant. Maybe you should have told his opponent to take pity on him because of his current state, or you should have told LGL to respect the Chinese team when commenting about them. Fanbois will never die.

It's a TTD joke, people who understand it will get it...

ZJK body looked slack in the loss, silent in all the major moments, he needs to go to the basement.

Maybe the first time...

Liu Guoliang or whoever conceived of this deserves a lot of credit.

You aren't where the receiver is so why are you expecting to be deceived?

He was to use his skills not develop then. He needs something with punch, not something with pillow.

I personally cannot stand Koto as an outer ply and dislike the Butterfly ALC-KOTO blades. I am more a Korbel/Inner force ALC/Primorac/Xiom Vega Pro guy. So when people say that the Viscaria is soft, I look at you all and wonder what is driving the insanity. Just speaking honestly.

ZJK from what I hear has 4 versions of the same set up and he will pick the one he feels like using on the specific day. I remember Dima once commenting that a particular setup he used was optimized to play against defense. Infer what you may but from all this, I think that EJing is more...

Yeah, but the feeling of what happens is hard to ignore for people. Understandably so as that is how they get their immediate feedback. That's why I am happy I EJed a lot and to some degree still do. Lots of people can't adjust to equipment like I can because they liked playing with one kind...

Yeah, it is not so much how you start but how you want to approach the ball and then working backwards to your ready position to make the option available.

He is tall so keep the ball low with heavy spin.

He was an SP hitter and the serving tactics are different, but that said, short serving was typically a way for the loopers to get balls to loop, but the techniques for aggressive countering and blocking are so much better today that serving short is really just one more strategy for winning points.

The simplest way to respond to Danny is that the long serve has always been in play. The short push is also still extremely effective, it is the short sidespin serve that is an endangered species.

Yes. In that particular club, the owner and main financer was the person keeping our score in the beginning of the match (Will Shortz). He has two large screen TVs installed with Ipads for keeping score and relaying to the screens as those are the two main show tables you see in that video...

Lots of my matches are in competition, we just don't have score keepers in the US. That day, our assigned table was used so they moved us to a main table to speed up the group.

Because I am tall and I am a backhand player. It's actually a good shot if you commit to it. If you do a basic loop, you run into the problem of a counter or a block wide, but if you loop the ball properly, most people will block the ball back to you. For example, here...

It actually depends on your body position, but you and Takkyu must mean inside out, as down the line means playing into the backhand while inside out/cross court is playing into the forehand. When I had no forehand or didn't trust my forehand against better players, this was how I played often...

Yes, but that is worth it if it is a quality shot. It is the same thing as pivoting to play a forehand - if it is not a quality shot, then you have exposed your wide forehand. If you have a real good backhand and can kill the ball both down the line from the forehand into the backhand or inside...
