What is timo using on his forehand?

Photos in European Games showed Timo use the mysterious Tenergy 09C on forehand.

The latest LARC has a new Dignics 09C (probably designed for Timo too?) Not sure if Timo has changed to it though.

Important message to EJs: equipment is soooo important that some pros don’t even know and don’t care what they’re playing with. [emoji3166]

But Shan Xiaona new the parameters she wanted to have for those short pips. Being sponsored by Butterfly she probably gets whole batches of rubbers to try, if she can pick one and get the same afterwards ... who cares about the name, I wouldn't.

So saying that she doesn't know what she's playing with is a little unfair to the EJ community ...

Can FZD take revenge over LJK for WTTC loss and signal his return to form ? Either way hoping for a great match !

 

[jawien]

Jeez ... if only Youngsik had a decent fh ...
2:1 for XX.

Time to start regulating the officials

 

[kogeh]

this ref is atrocious

 

[M51]

Why? It was clearly an illegal toss.

 

[kogeh]

it was the same toss that xu xin did the whole game more or less

Whether or not the call is technically correct doesn't matter when the same standard is not enforced across different matches/competitions.

This is a serious problem. Many refs hesitate to enforce the service rules because they don't want to stir shit and draw attention to themselves. Personally, I disagree with the lawbook (it's too strict, and in places, downright ridiculous), but I didn't write it. People who don't know the first thing about table tennis, sports, and common sense in general did.

What's with Fan's right leg? Back of his thigh.

FTW vs Ito
G2, 9:5, 9:8, TO for FTW, 9:11. FTW needed this game.
G3, 3:3, 3:7, Ito is pulling away on her service turn, 4:8, 5:9, 5:10, 7:10, 7:11. No chance if Ito could win in rallies away from table.

I hope Ito wins in the final but i would be very surprised if she does since it's very rare for a CNT player to lose twice in a row to a foreigner.
