I think there are a number of contributing factors to viewership changes than just the camera angle. My opinion is that the side angle reduces table tennis to a very flat two dimensional appearance, and I find it very difficult to watch. You will find that when people buy tickets for tt events they generally try and buy seats behind the table not on the side, this is a fact - so I don’t know if really enough data is collected to support whichever angle. The main reason WTT chose the side angle is to increase the quantity of sponsor banner coverage on the long side of the court.

Also if you filter WTT’s videos by views and scroll probably through the first 100 videos you will see most of the more popular videos are from 2020 or before

@@MHTableTennis you can't compare videos' views if they have years of difference, I looked at the latest videos and I see some matches between two almost unknown players and it is 600 views on the first day. Alexis Lebrun Lin Shidong 2 days 18k already

@@chebkhaled1985 I mean comparing 2019/2020 with 2021-now is not that crazy. The side view is always going to be a contentious topic but I 100% stand by my views and it’s not like I have an outspoken opinion, a lot of people don’t like the side view. As I said it flattens the dimensions of the game and also if it was really so popular other racket sports would be doing it and they aren’t - every other racket sport uses the classic angle.

@@MHTableTennis every other racket sport don't have small distance between the two players like in TT. At the end of the day you are watching it on a screen so its a 2 dimensions anyway, the old angle loses the dimension where one could really appreciate the speed. Side angle loses the dimension where you can appreciate placements. My bet is that a non-player viewer would appreciate speed more.

Good to know, thanks for dropping that comment. Yes it definitely makes a clear difference especially for attracting sponsorships outside of table tennis too!

The Freeze HRD is stiffer feeling harder wood outer and cleaner feedback for more direct play. ZQH 45 is a bit softer outer and good for spinning and feel

Yes they can be a good replacement for Samba+. Fire still has good control, the main difference is that Ice is much softer feeling, most would favour it for backhand at 40 deg hardness but of course that’s all down to preference 😊

The Freeze HRD blade is probably the best alternative, it's also ARY-c carbon with koto top ply.

Haha in the sense of the drill placement itself 😄

Тиаго норм пацанчик, хуярит не хуево

Haha it’s a race between you and Ernesto 🤣

HA! affiliate marketing

You the real MVP! 🏓

Not sure why I had more issues with this one than previous, I actually dropped the intro volume a lot but didn’t seem to do much! Will try and get the levels better for next one

It's great to give the spotlight to players who have been also incredible on the continental level and are still pushing to compete. You can think also of players like Lashin El Sayed with Africa, just a huge wealth of experience :D

yes! we missed him so much year at Edgeball :D
