  1. China Smash 2025

    One key aspect to note not only in that last point but also other rallies is that Togami often moves away at the start of the loop to loop then tries to move in for the kill, but he doesn't change his pace and power to throw Lin off beforehand causing the returning ball being too difficult to...
  2. China Smash 2025

    Watching Harimoto using his forehand is just a sore to the eye, makes you really wonder how much he has to compensate to be able to stand in the top 10

    I'm happy for Togami, finally he has aquired the champion mentality. The blocking play he did at the end of the 6th set shows his growth, his old self would've just hit it recklessly
  4. WTT Contender Almaty 2025 Sep 2-7

    Togami looks like he deliberately let go, but both him and Matsushima were unstable as heck, I hope he can strive for the long awaited wtt singles title though

    the record of sato/hashimoto against CNT is other non-chinese player dream, congrats to them for a total domineering performance

    boi tmr is the 'civil war king' showdown, let's see who's the worse civil war king lmao
  7. WTT Contender Almaty 2025 Sep 2-7

    what Yoshiyama lacks in power and technique, he compensates with his serve, spin execution and landing point, one hell of a smart player.
  8. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    No doubt about Lin's tenacity, but this kid hasn't trusted his forehand enough, so many chances he could have gone for an over the table loop but instead play touches and let Truls get the initiative

    Wen Ruibo is doing well against Hugo, let's see if he can bring it to the decider
  10. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    For the past 2 months since he got Ueda as a personal coach his game has become more sophisticated and well-rounded, Today he dealt with Lin's bh flick wonderfully from service to 5th ball attack, doesn't lose too much distance when rallying. Not just Togami but I hope the JNT men as a whole...
  11. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    After watching this match, I just came to hate Noshad as a person, world class player with a mentality worse than a club player. Always complaining when it's not going his way, zero sportsmanship, does his disease also affect his head lmao
  12. How to receive pendulum serve to the body/elbow?

    For me I generally pivot and use my forehand, for that I often - Stand at a distant of a forearm's length in the backhand corner - Place my right foot behind the left to pivot easier - Hit the ball to the opponent bh corner to make better use their spin. Going down the line is also a good...
  13. WTT Champions Japan 2025 - 7-11 Aug 2025

    Although Togami took a set, it was pretty meh since most of the points were Wang's error in initiating attacks

    Wow, Grebnev swept 2 Chinese players to make the finals, Russian takes both gold and silver in MS
  15. FISU World University Games 2025

    Lol watching Okano/Tanigaki struggling to play a backhand game is pain to my eyes 0-2 down against HKG pair right now
  16. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Harimoto's OLP lost against Fan paid off immensely, Lin is just a FanZD lite with a weak FH and premature BH so I think Hari got no problem countering his style. Even when Lin bounce back 3 set in the middle of the match, Harimoto was still controlling him tactically, only lost because of Lin's...

    Tanaka does it again, pls give this dude a sponsor ffs
  18. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Even 5ch forum users have started to soften up to him so I imagine the overall expectation is higher than ever right know
  19. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    nice that you mentioned about Togami's bh, I think it's starting to look a bit like Lin SD's, compact and relies more on wrist strength, but srsly he made a lot of mistakes either in defense or attack. His fh dragged him to the 5th but it wasn't enough The variety of pace is still a great...
  20. WTT Contender Zagreb 2025 Jun 24-29

    Alas, the forehand always triump in the end, Nagasaki over-relied on her bh and Shi exploited it perfectly with the long serve to the middle. It's nice to see her get back on track lately but her shortcoming is still visible, her forehand wasn't good enough
