Really good match to watch. A lot of fighting from Truls. I have watched his matches throughout this tournament and his blocking was so good and big part of his game. But it simply didn't work against Wang, the quality of attack is so much higher.

Yep, might be hard for Truls to compete this way with the likes of Chuqin in the future. Maybe if he was more offensive on his bh ...

Its just about to start, but will be there any live stream for us europeans?
I get that not available in your country message.. :(

Yesterday I watched it for several hours. Did you try to watch it on the official youtube channel? Just asking because on the official (main) channel they link to all the different channels available (tt is on channel 7).

Moregard needs to pick up the chiquita. Without it, he gets really passive on the receive. He mostly drops it short, or FH loops the half-long ones, with the odd BH flicks and FH deep pushes mixed in. Those are hard to pull off.

Truls have to step up 5 gears really...
He only has a chance when he changes his mindset and skillset from defence to 100% offence. Easier said than done tho...

It seems to be hardly in his nature, like he almost never opens with the bh. Very unique style when you think about him.

The Stag table being used appears to play different than a Stiga or a Butterfly.

Can someone explain the difference in play between the tables.

last time in Argentina, i think it was 2016 or 2017
the compliant of the stag tables was uneven bounce.

Stag sponsors tables to a lot of 3rd world TT countries
90% of the tables in South Africa are Stag
some of the older models does have weird bounce

So is the stag table surface, tacky, slick, uneven or what in 2018 ?

I wanted to ask Lin YunJu's coach, but I see another coach went to YOG
I'm not sure what is wrong with these tables, but of the little games I saw - few mins of Amy and all of Ning, all 4 players missed a lot of shots (no contact with the ball), and lots of balls into the net.

From my experience with Stag tables, they kind of skid more than other brands
but the report from previous in Argentina is uneven bounce

Watching Moregard kind of reminds me of Ma Long. Both players are very FH dominant, with solid BH for blocking.
Moregard obviously needs to improve his ability to open up attacks from BH. He desperately needs to improve his short game. He already has power, he just needs to improve consistency on FH and BH attacks.

Very old-school style. He says he wants to play like Waldner and back in his days, opening up with the BH over the table was still in development.
