WYD and CXT look exhausted and have no interest in playing table tennis at all. TO me, they are basically retired already.

I played with two Alexis Krypto Carbon so far. First one was when it just came out. The handle was too bulky even to hold and the feeling was quite weird to me. I am playing with the second one, good size handle and feeling like a good Boll alc paired with MK rubbers. It might not pair well with...

Isn't Krypto Carbon just green carbon?

Faster, less feel?

Harimoto was really good when he started. But for so many years, he has not really achieved much in big tournaments, and I think it will get harder when he ages. Mizutani gained most fames among modern japanese table tennis, although I will not keep citing what he said.

I think we will probably see quite some upsets today.

Agree and disagree. Table tennis is so dynamic and it is not easy to say only one way is correct. Understanding how the physics of movement works is most important. Of course, for beginners, aiming at sweet sport is very important because it will ensure the strikes are not too wrong.

Did you really need to cite so many stuffs to prove/pursade anything at all? :)

Non-sweet spot is less bouncy and can hold the ball longer. But if you need speed, then the sweet spot at the center is definitely the choice.

Qualification round draws were not out yet. Weird.

I did not find it react well to boosters. But even without being boosted, Rxton 1 feels quite stable and consistent if you can use your power and body to play. It won't do anything surprising you.

And it is the cheapest you can get for about $5

If you do not rely heavily on speed, Loki Rxton 1 is pretty decent on backhand.

It is the second final for ZYL. I think she choked a little at game 4 when she was 2:1 and leading 8:4 against Hayata. It would be totally different match if she could win that game. For her age, it is not easy to play to the 7th and keep the level.

Her right hand blocking the serves?

Did Hina Hayata hide her serves? It looks like even ZYL had trouble returning her serves. And Miwa had problems returning too.

Does she play like a female/(or lighter version) of WRB? First time paying attention to this player. She played with so wide angles, good mentality (for now)... That forehand slow spinny loop and backhand flip are good. Will follow her more in the future.

If she can win this tournament after all other CNT players lose, she will get many more chances to play in the future for sure. But CNT never picks a player based on a tournament even a WTTC win.

LSD seemed to modify his technique to stay close to the table but his short balls were no near to FZD or ML. And the worst part was that he did not prepare to defend after the pushes. Overall, It is a critical moment for LSD. But most people were disappointed at him already.
