Hey guys,
For those of you who haven't seen the new technology via the ITTF we are now able to see the serving ball placement of players, similar to that you find in tennis. In the image you can see Ma Long's service placement during the 5th set against Tomokazu Harimoto at the recent China...
The Japan Open begins next week on the 12th June and concludes on the 16th. Similarly with the China and Hong Kong Open we will see an incredible line up which consists of the likes of Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Harimoto and many more world class players! Ding Ning the world number 1 leads...
Hello!
Today I saw Harimoto play with butterfly shoes that I have never been seen before, can somebody tell me more about those? The game was in China Open
I found this on Youtube. I don't speak japanese and I would normally just rely on the auto-generated subtitles. However on this one, at one point 23:48 there was what seems to be like a deep difference in opinions between Harimoto and his father on how to handle Timo Boll. From the looks of it...

I have been wanting to ask this question for a long time but keep forgetting.
After watching Harimoto's game over the last few months, I noticed his serve was poorly returned by ML, ZJK and even XX. That led to quite a significant amount of quick points.
His usual serve involves a left-ward...
Hi all Butterfly have released this news on Harimoto's https://www.butterfly.co.jp/news/product/20181003.html

Just stumbled across this video! Did you know Harimoto has a younger sister aged 10 that plays Table Tennis?

I know he is using a custom butterfly blade. I don't know what rubbers he is currently using. All of the resources I've found have different results, but the only consistent thing is Tenergy 05 fx on the BH.
