Does anybody know anything about Walkers equipment?

His blad looks really good, and kind of yellow. And both rubbers look blue, it could be Bluefire or Airoc perhaps...?

Walker is sponsored by Donic, so I guess Bluefire and the Crest Off blade maybe?

Exactly. At 10-8, I would have called timeout just to call the plays. Whatever happens, live with it. But after that serve at 10-8 that got looped for 10-9, no excuse.

China vs Korea (Mens Team 1/2 Final)

Match 1: Xu Xin vs Lee Sangsu

Match 2: Ma Long vs Jung Youngsik

Match 3: Zhang Jike vs Jang Woojin

I think it was 10-8 and serving. Why did Liam serve long to the Mitzutani forehand ?

So frustrating, but well done England. China will walk the final of course.
Some truly fantastic shots played.

I was screaming the same thing even yesterday - against France. I don't want to sound emotional, or go overboard - but for now, from where I am sitting, and taking into account the same thing happened today - Alan Cooke is a ****t tactician. Good coach probably - but as a tactician - a pile of steaming ****t.

Thank you! I googled it and found an article in which he says he is using Ovtcharov Senso Carbon. Really Impressive game by him, and also by Pitchford. So close!

Do not take offense, but there is a rule that when somebody plays good or start winning many forum users start searching for his equipment. Probably if he had lost to Oshima easily, then you would not bother what equipment he uses.

Okay, I see your point. But that is not what I was doing, I simply noticed that he didn't use Tenergy, and that he used a blade that I did not recognise, which made me curious.

Old School · Mar 5, 2016

I was expecting England to lose to Japan but they put up one hell of a fight. It might feel sour right now but it's one hell of an achievement by the blokes to come that far and to play that level of TT. Cheers!

Kaizoku · Mar 5, 2016

Just wondering about one thing... Where did the Japan vs Hong Kong videoes go. Because I know it ended 3-1 to Japan but. really. I can't find the tapes anywhere. I Find China - Sweden, Portugal - Korea AND England - France.
But Hong Kong vs Japan (third quarter final, 4/3 16:30 T2 -> Same time as Portugal - Korea) is gone.
I wanted to watch it

Any clue?

The Quarter Finals have commenced!

Table 2: Japan vs Hong Kong!

EDIT: Ah, ok, I did find it on youtube now, after looking around. But, it should be on Live Stream too, no?
Double EDIT: wew, even though it did end up 3-1 (the 1 being the 3-0 win Tang Peng had against Koki Niwa) Man, Wong had match point twice against Yoshimura (leading 2-0 in set before ending up loosing 2-3) and 1 match point against Mizutani at 5th set (10-11, loosing 11-13), it was not Wong's lucky day. Just one of those going in Hong Kong's favour it would have been 2-2... what happends then?

Donic Crest Off and Bluefires

Yeah, it's the Crest Off.

Great to see one show up at the highest level. They're amazing blades and underappreciated at the moment.

TTFrenzy · Mar 5, 2016

Leaking roof...good job ITTF. This tournaments shows how everything today in sports is done for the money and only for the money. Who knows how many or which officials were bribed or what sponsorship agreements were made.

The image alone is hilarious, leaking water? Really?

Players should boycott this stupid shit just to get some decent respect, ITTF needs the players, not vice versa. Especially the top ones should protest and condemn this phenomenon

Yes! You're right! Damn that blade looks good!

countrybread · Mar 5, 2016

Unless there were injuries, its strange how Korea did not send Jeon Ji Hee, arguably their best player, or Choi Hyo Joo, the team bodyguard. Twice, she's taken out Kasumi Ishikawa in convincing fashion.

And where was Han Ying and Shan Xiona? They would have made a few other Japanese players cry.

Its very likely both of these teams would have gone home with a medal.

brabhamista · Mar 6, 2016

When it comes to Shan Xiaona, Han Ying and Jeon Jihee, they're not eligible to play as they're all Chinese-born.

As for Choi Hyojoo, I guess she's just very young and relatively inexperienced. Her time will come very soon though as she's clearly one to watch.
