  1. Chinese fans laughing at Hashimoto's service error during her match today

    I don't like the etiquette nor the IQ claim either, but boy are you gonna be awash in shame if you were to ever attend an EPL or NFL match :LOL:

    It wouldn't be the right technique if it doesn't get the ball on the table lol. But I know what you mean, gotta know when to do what. With better footwork, I should be able to use the right technique much more often. I already have an issue with hitting the ball too early on the BH side, and...

    Well, like anything, it's the tradeoffs. My setup make the "simple" shots harder, but makes the tough shots easier. Short game and counter looping (for FH) are both easier with the Q968/H3 combo. Against higher level players who can open up with a lot of quality, these things are very important...

    I played in an informal tournament held as a friend's bday party last weekend. I'm at a point now that despite the recent big technique and equipment changes I think I'm overall playing a bit better than before. I managed to take a game off of a 2200 player, but also managed to lose to a 1700...

    Another evidence my FH is almost there, the coach actually said "correct" when I was doing FH practice this week :LOL:The latest adjustments focused on using less arm and more leg to drive the ball, flaring out my racket more, making adjustments on the fly with my lower body, and timing the loop...

    Been working a lot this past week, but was able to squeeze in some FH practices at home. I've developed a new way of incorporating FH changes, something more systematic, and I THINK I've got it, to the point where I cna just focus on consistency now. Basically what I realized is that for any...

    WTTC rematches, will the results be different?

    I know I know, can't help it lol!
  9. WTT Champions Macao 2025 - 9-14 Sep 2025

    Oh she earned it for sure, great play! His FH is nice, but I don't know if it's a super dominating one. He plays with a bit more of a spin based FH, kind of like LSD. Very few data points so far but I do wonder if that's a weakness for Zyre users, with Harimoto also losing to a more spin...

    At least for me if anyone calls a net, I treat it as a net and never argue. I don't really play umpired games but there are tons of times when my opponent calls a net that I didn't see, I don't bother arguing about it. If an umpire called it, I sure as heck wouldn't argue either regardless of...

    I'm sure you've experimented with this before, but I'm wondering why you don't cock your wrist more on your BH? You have great timing and do an excellent job of using the elbow as a pivot, and obviously you're able to play with good power and consistency on the BH side, so I'm wondering why you...

    I went the the club to play last night, haven't done that on Friday for quite a while since I play soccer on Thursdays and usually I'm too tired to play. I guess I'm in a bit better shape now, so felt comfortable to go. My focus in the beginning was on using my updated BH technique, which...

    Yea, my coach also emphasizes to me the need to push off the right leg instead of just reaching out with my left leg and body.
  14. Table tennis Tactics for Thinkers!

    I think you answered it yourself already: "I cannot still do a lot of them good but I can do many of them not so good." In other words, you have no game right now. Keep playing and you'll likely get develop a lot more skills pretty quickly, then you can work on figuring out your game.

    Yeah, and it's mentally taxing too when you're trying to incorporate the learnings of the day into a faster paced setting. Yesterday on the FH side I was working on reducing an upward rotation when I kick my leg. To compensate for that I would then need to go up a bit more with my arm. The...

    Oh there's a lot more than just that to fix lol, it's just really hard to fix more than one thing at a time. That one is just focusing on moving with both feet to get to the ball. I had another session today, and the focus was more on the arm/wrist movement. I'm trying to keep the elbow a bit...

    Yeah, I'm trying to incorporate better footwork into my BH as well. Focusing on side-to-side right now against topspins with my coach, and when practicing against the robot I'm focusing more on in-and-out against backspins. For topspins, my coach noted that you should try to avoid the wide...

    I think it's not so much that I get tired quicker, it's that H3 is just really demanding so when you do get tired or if you're just not super focused for whatever reason it becomes a lot harder to use. It requires really explosive, well-timed movement when attacking or you don't hit into the...
  19. Impact of US Tariffs policies on equipment price

    Not necessarily TT specific but the ordering experience from Aliexpress has had no difference (they already include import charges in their prices) throughout all this.
  20. Li-Ning using forced labor

    It's also just not a realistic thing to expect consumers to be the moral police. A lot of people also have issues with what's going on in Gaza, Ukraine, child labor in Africa, slave/prison labor in the US, or numerous other things the Chinese government does. Are they expected to avoid...
