Hallo Donald. Would like to deal with your post on a point by point basis if I may. 1. My " ire is not stoked " as you so colourfully phrased it , by any discussion of table tennis and its many merits , although that does not disclude me from talking passionately about the game. 2. I appreciate that you are American , and that you have degraded the English language in many ways , but I was not aware of the " American " spelling of the word tournament. 3. I have not seen either of the videos of which you write , although I'm sure they are worth watching , so it would be grossly unfair of me to comment upon them . However , the last tournament I watched in any depth was the 2002 Commonwealth Games , a tournament in which many of the worlds top players did not compete , but I can record that I saw no examples of any players " looking in wonderment " at their bats after they had misjudged a shot , and missed , for whatever reason . 4. I have no doubt that you can execute a forehand loop with supreme competence , but I do question your ability to define your mistakes , attribute them to others , and substantiate them with an increase in ball size. |
