    Just use it and forget about the dome shape.

  3. Rio Olympics 2016 (Team Event)

    LSW has to win a title. That she is the 3rd player is a good thing for her, but she has to graduate with a major title. Zhu Yuling and Chen Meng can also insert themselves into the conversation if they win major titles. The only people guaranteed to go are the world champions in the previous...
  4. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    It's a good question. I use to use slower equipment and work more on placement. I also used to rely upon tactical spin to win points. But now two things have happened - my health is not as good, so I can't practice as much, and I don't play as much competition anymore. I went to faster...

  6. Problem boosting rubber

    People can do what they want to do with their equipment. I have to focus on the ball because there are no rules limiting people from using crap to play in the tournaments I enter. DeWitt already wins events I play in by wearing out his Mark V and using it like short pips or anti with a weird...

    Thanks for the kind words - not sure if they describe my play but they are complimentary. In match play, I do often hit the ball with a bit more abandon and with larger strokes which compromise my recovery. I also throw my body around a bit more. In practice, my focus is getting in the reps...

    It's partly long arms and partly a wide stance that isn't obvious unless you look closely. In match play, my feet I usually even wider apart during rallies unless I am really mailing it in.

    Trying to clean up my strokes again - I have been experimenting a bit too much trying to get whip and these are still my best forehand and backhand strokes. I should just try to get more consistent using them.
  10. Rio Olympics 2016 (Team Event)

    Because you don't remember the score the last time they played. Ito beat her 4-0.
  11. Rio Olympics 2016 (Team Event)

    Why would you say this? I don't understand whether you know that the whole Japanese team can beat Feng.
  12. Rio Olympics 2016 (Team Event)

    That is now my favorite ZJK match of all time and is also one of my favorite matches of all time. The score in the final two games wasn't really close but the way ZJK acted, you would realize how seriously he took the challenge. And he came out to play doubles too - other people may say ZJK...
  13. Pick your team to beat the CNT

    Jung Youngsik (vs Ma Long), Dima or Mizutani (Vs. Xu Xin), Liam Pitchford (Vs. Zhang Jike). I could also switch these players around but I believe these players can do it, though I may have to sub out Dima if he has to play Ma Long and replace him someone else or just put Mizutani vs Zhang...
  14. Stiga Eternity VPS - anyone has it? any reviews?

    In some ways, yes, but you have to try it for yourself to know.
  15. Rio Olympics 2016 (Team Event)

    Keep making up things. Those guys did not qualify by ranking for singles, but for the team, those guys could have been selected as the third players if their teams really wanted them. Everyone sent their best team. We saw how Oshima choked vs Sam Walker.
  16. Rio Olympics 2016 (Team Event)

    So you really wanted him to use Joo in doubles? Joo was the 3rd highest rated Korean and was selected over Jang Woojin. And for good reason too - Joo has not lost a singles match yet IIRC. The team is designed to give people trouble and accept that it makes no difference vs. the Chinese.
  17. Rio Olympics 2016 (Team Event)

    LGL is kind - not fielding Xu Xin in the first two games because he wanted to give Joo a fighting chance?
  18. Rio Olympics 2016 (Team Event)

    Jike will retire from CNT when he wants to. No one is going to retire anyone who fights like that when the chips are down.
  19. Rio Olympics 2016 (Team Event)

    Jike is a beast!!!
  20. Players Complain about the Poor Quality of the Ball Used in Rio!

    Anyone watching Zhang Jike and Jeong Youngsik can see the amount of missing because the ball did not bounce properly.
