    If this was the old ball, a good strategy against someone who is staying close to the table and hurting you with their counter-game is to back up and spin higher and deeper and also put some side-spin on the ball to slow them down, give them something to think about. But with this new ball, it doesn't spin very much and so basically it becomes a contest of who can hit off-the-bounce better. This is how Harimoto defeated so many top players when he was only 14. Those who understand this can do well. Personally, I see this as the destruction of our once-awesome sport. And now I sound like those old hardbatters who complained that sponge was ruining the game. :)

      @@gab5012 o.k., so you need a world #2 to stop a 14 year old? With the old ball, Harimoto would have been maybe, maybe, and I'm being generous, about World #50-75. Not saying he couldn't eventually develop into a world top 10, but it wouldn't have happened at 14, it would have taken an extra 10 years. So this new ball simplified the game, basically made everyone play close to the table counters. It was promised to extend rallies and get us on TV.... did it?

    • @gab5012

      @@marcoborrillo8097 Yeah not really, the Chinese dominance also lowered because of the change. I'm not saying the plastic ball change was a good thing. It reduced the number of playstyles by a lot, we likely won't be seeing players like Waldner making it to the top the same way he did with the bigger ball. But saying that the game is simplified to being the best close to the table players are invincible or the best style is just pure arrogance

    • @gab5012
      @gab5012 3 роки тому +1

      also keep in mind, most chinese top players don't hit off the bounce, the standard timing point for the forehand loop is still after the highest point of the ball for better consistency and top players like Ma Long still follow that in general (also don't bring up harimoto's forehand, compared to the Chinese his FH is mediocre at best)

    Lily’s backhand attack needs improvement. Amy’s backhand is deadly and yet Lily kept serving that side of the table at initial 2-3 sets. Lily should be able to do fast backhand whip. Maybe her rubber couldn’t do that.

    • @marcoborrillo8097
      @marcoborrillo8097 3 роки тому

      seems Lily's strokes were more of the old school strokes where it was o.k. to spin high & deep. But with this new plastic ball, that is no longer a safe shot. Apparently with this new ball you must drive foreward and keep the ball very low over the net otherwise it is easily countered. In the old days we were taught that "whoever opens up first has a better chance of winning the point" and maybe that's what is still in Lily's mind. But with this new ball, I would say if you can't hit a winner maybe it's better to make a high-level push instead, either very short or jam them in the switch point. Unfortunately the few times Lily pushed she went right into Amy's power zone, and Amy's strokes are perfect for the plastic ball, she doesn't spin up, she goes foreward on everything. on top of that, as I said above, I think it was an off-day for Lily, we've seen her play better, serve better, and attack better. And Amy was having about the best day I've ever see, with sick inside-out backhands, nearly perfect counterloops off the bounce, and so on. So I don't think it was as much of a strategy issue- Lily knows what to do, this isn't her first rodeo. It was just a rough day. We see that in Tennis, sometimes there are upsets. You can't be your best every day.

    • @johnchin2889

      Lily's backhand seems sedated. Always giving Amy the chance to punish those high and slow loops with a forehand kill.

    @swaveklorencYT 3 роки тому +1

    I think Lily played as well as Amy let her. She was surprised by long fast serves a few times in that critical 4th game. Lily also has that serve as she demonstrated in the next game, but she could have tried it in that 4th game when she had 1 point advantage. If it were 2:2, the player who is stronger mentally and more composed would have won. Lily did improve noticeably in the last few years. Her forehand attacks have lots of power, but she was able to use it only in the 3rd game which she dominated. I think Lily was actually more focused than Amy. Amy's body language seemed to indicate like the win was hers from the beginning and when she lost a point she was acting in disbelief. Congratulations to both ladies for reaching the final.

    what the heck... it's only 4-4 and already Amy made 2 backhands that made my eyes pop out of my head. This is a different Amy.
    After 2 games, all I can say is, Lily appears to be having a tough day, and Amy is having a great day. And that's about all I can say. Not sure I see any glaring problems from Lily. Then again, I don't understand this new ball as well as the old. And this is Vegas, slightly higher elevation, slightly thinner air. Spin doesn't move through the air the same, ball just goes straight and spin stays on the ball...
    So it's been about 5 years with this new plastic ball. Has it brought in all the big TV contracts that they promised it would? Or was it just a scam to make extra money for a select few? Worst decision of Table Tennis. You don't see Tennis changing the ball completely like this. This hurt the game, IMO. And overnight 30 years of experience became useless. I think Waldner said it best, he said something like "before there were many ways to play, now there is only 1 way to play."

Interesting- but the bottom line is that Puerto Ricans cannot vote in USA's elections. So I'm guessing they have their own Olympic team. Adriana can not represent USA.
