  1. Comparing Ma Long's first and sixth ITTF Finals wins

    2015 ma long was the best ma long. Enough improvement on the normal play and backhand and unbeatable technique. 14-18 he hasn't ever not been a favourite really
  2. Post all TT professionals nicknames that you know or think a new one

    Probably szocs? Pitchford is captain toothpick
  3. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Yeah I thought it was unlikely to be fair next but I also definitely didn't want to rag on about behaviour if it was. Also with the information presented by our Japanese cohort it seems to be basically nil and also that the behaviour seems very controllable with nets and let's and also when on...
  4. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    I'm asking this to people who see more about him. I only see him in table tennis. Table tennis is fringe and not commercial really where I live not even our own best or the Chinese are on TV playing let alone the lifestyle of a Japanese 17 year old star. Even Inoue isn't known really and boxing...
  5. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Zhu I agree with the 80% bieng sensible actually but the challenge is how to put that into words ????
  6. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Zeio you are clearly fluent in English are you deliberately missing the point like you did with next level? The point is I cannot tell but he seems to fit some of the albeit quite common in non disabled people. Quiet to the point of shy, very polite but sometimes very loud in specific...
  7. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Zeio I have a lesson for you on how you approach this thread. 寬己嚴人 Strict on others but lenient on oneself. 同時,儒家極為推崇道德和修養的培育,有所謂“嚴以律己,寬以待人”的說法;並強調明辨是非和信用的重要性,提出“自古皆有死,民 無信不立”等。 Meanwhile, Confucianism strongly promotes the concept of morality and the cultivation of a person's moral character...
  8. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    No the learning thing is a genuine question. Someone else had also though that this isn't uncommon with minor ASD. And if it is because of that then I would take it all back in a heart beat. I also have met a lot of people and mental health in Japan isn't a well regarded area. Not that the west...
  9. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    I think you're right. Sorry. But this discussion would be much better suited as what should the allowable limits of celebration be and the punishment. For example we all can agree punching anyone would be an unacceptable celebration and it would be interesting to see what everyone most extreme...
  10. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Believe it or not Rome wasn't built in a day. Proposal is okay for amendment. Carl Hidden serves were not a problem until suddenly they were. Spinning the ball with your fingers to serve wasn't an issue until it was. And actually yes if there are more than 4 points (per player) that are...
  11. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Yes they definitely do. I also think we should separate the issues as the foot stamping is worse imo. It's Interrupting and disrupting play and should be treated with contempt. Celebrations are not as mad as mid point distraction and for me should be curbed without changing the results of the...
  12. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    So upsidedown: Proposes rules: Cho is fine. Limit point celebration to two words. Limit number of Cho to 4 per set ideally. 3 allowable plus when you win a set of course. Limit volume to a defined level, make a reasonable level for middle of game and allow loudee at the end of a set or game. I...
  13. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Definitely but you didn't really call anyone out or mentioned anyone's name. just complain that people in this thread are not professional tt players in a semi derranged rant with poor formatting? Just feel maybe a autobiography would suit your needs more
  14. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Zeio if you think you should only comment on things you've done personally and not discussion can I recommend memoirs or a blog rather than a forum. And yes choing is on the rise and should be curved a bit. It is a stupid way of degrading the skills required into screaming. It's just harimoto...
  15. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    What should be done? Nothing major at first maybe some warnings after the game as he doesn't dima moan during the point so it would be unfair to do anything about fairly won points. I suspect maybe they should withhold earnings if he gets more than x warnings at first. This shouldn't affect him...
  16. 16 year old Fan Zhengdong vs 16 year old Harimoto, who's better

    Langel. These are not objective. You're missing about 40-50 wins against Chinese for FZD. He plays in the super League at this age. See this is the issue TH has more exposure to WT but his Chinese wins are miles behind
  17. 16 year old Fan Zhengdong vs 16 year old Harimoto, who's better

    To be honest it's almost moot. They both won world titles, Hari of course more and at a younger age but this is about 16 v 16 not career by 16. Rewatch the matches of FZD in '13 it was less clinical and seems more nervous than harimoto but without the obvious forehand weakness. On the negative...
  18. 16 year old Fan Zhengdong vs 16 year old Harimoto, who's better

    It's difficult to say at all. Both put out good loosing efforts against the best (fzd with a loss to ML and ZJK but a win over a unmotivated ZJK) and dominating Dimitri, matsudira and samsonov. I would prefer to have FZD for my national team because he was more dominant in most of his wins. But...
  19. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Zhu don't worry they're not at you directly. And actually I don't mind people bieng a bit disrespectful in interview etc, as you say it's fun. Mayweather was tuned into because he was hated. As another said it's a good storyline. It's more the lack of respect for the sport and making the most...
  20. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Talking of Ali bieng brought up repeatedly it would be great to be exactly like that. Boxing banned talking and the like in the ring ages ago because of him. But equally look at boxing forums and AJ is ridiculed for bieng humble and talking politely. McEnroe is famous for his bad attitude and...
