  1. WTT Champions Japan 2025 - 7-11 Aug 2025

    It's certainly possible, given he's won two of their three prior contests - including the most recent. Then again, this time he's also gonna have to do it in front of a hugely partisan crowd...

    Yeah, nablaz pointed it out in #231 and I was just about to elaborate on it until I saw you did. Harimoto obviously felt disrespected by it.

    3-0, well played Kanak! ETA: whoops. Watching this on mute while the other half has a movie on the big screen. Didn't realize we are into best of seven this round...

    Chen Yi appears to be stepping up already: came back from three games down vs Hayata and beat SYS in Vegas, now just won this one from two games down and then five straight points àt 7-10 in game 5 against WR2. Not just talented, but has ice water in her veins.

    Fraser said after Chen Yi's match "Unfortunate news, Lilly Zhang has had to withdraw due to illness."

    Was reminded of a line in this hard-drivin' blues tunes by a book NextLevel mentioned, and Coolchap's thread about dealing with frustration: "Careful talkin' to yourself, 'cause you may be listenin"* * [I've filed that in the ol' cranium as a helpful reminder: "mind the way you talk to...

    They said during the Jang v Lebrun match that they are making extra seats available for sale, online only, at 10:00 am JST on Saturday. @Catenaccio and @Takkyu_wa_inochi

    They mentioned multiple times during the match: just spent two weeks in Oahu and got engaged.
  14. How to maintain grippiness of shoes

    Yup, most TT soles are gum rubber, which is natural - so as shown on the chart at the bottom of that article I linked for ya, it is "generally compatible."

  16. How to maintain grippiness of shoes

    A) Yes, UV rays are hard on cloth, leather, rubber, etc. B & C) Never tried it with TT rubber cleaner, but can't imagine it would be more harmful to gum rubber soles than racket rubbers - so worth a shot if they have some on hand. I do know they sell traction-enhancers to basketballers - no...

  19. Finally grasped the essence of table tennis biomechanical principle Chinese style! (Chain reaction of power from the ground) (UPDATED AGAIN)

    Of course they do. And I certainly didn't state nor imply that it's unique to those. As before, please note what I'm replying to: a pondering of the origin of the concept of "power from the ground up." Even casual fans of boxing are aware of the importance of balance and footwork plus hip and...
