Table tennis is becoming more interesting, more attractive for beginners, and more entertaining with longer rallies, more techniques visualization, more athletic techniques visualization in 2024, thanks to that many professional tournaments choose lightweight balls. Even the new 2024 year Nittaku balls are more lightweight than old Nittaku balls. But these balls need to become more lightweight, for example 2.5grams balls instead of 2.7 gram balls. Lightweight balls are great for table tennis sport. It makes table tennis become more attractive and easier to begin for beginners in our busy world. It is very important to make table tennis become easier for beginners, because nobody will pay few years to train just for capably beginning play amateur social table tennis games in our busy world. Today in our busy world, people require that the minimal beginners training time of table tennis to be just FEW WEEKS, BUT NOT FEW YEARS AS IN THE CURRENT VERSION OF TABLE TENNIS WITH HEAVYWEIGHT BALLS 2.7GRAMS. It can be achieved by apply lightweight balls, for example 2.5grams balls, then it exactly will require beginners to train only few weeks in table tennis with lightweight balls to get skills to begin play serious amateur table tennis games for funs/healths/communications. It will attract billions new beginners come and remain playing the version of lightweight ball table tennis as social sport. Thus of course it will put table tennis sport in new leap high level of popularity in entertaining television and in worldwide social playing sport too. Of course it will put business of table tennis equipment manufacturers in new leap prospect and profits WHEN BILLIONS NEW BEGINNERS CAN EAYSY PLAY REAL SERIOUS AMATEUR GAMES OF THE VERSION OF 2.5GRAMS LIGHTWEIGHT BALL TABLE TENNIS AFTER JUST FEW WEEKS OF TRAINING. (In the current heavyweight ball table tennis, new beginners need minimal few years of training to play amatuer games, so most of them leave table tennis or simply not begin to play table tennis). Thus it is common motivation for all, for ITTF, for table tennis equipment manufacturers, for table tennis tournament administrators, for table tennis sponsors, for new beginners, ... TO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLY REACH TO CONCENSUS OF APPLYING NEW LIGHTWEIGHT BALLS IN TABLE TENIS, FOR EXAMPLE APPLY THE 2.5GRAMS LIGHTWEIGHT BALLS INSTEAD OF THE CURRENT 2.7GRAMS BALLS. Thanks to lightweight balls, it is now possible to exist many equal competitive playing styles in table tennis sport. It makes table tennis to become more wealthy various, more entertaining. If use heavyweight balls, then other playing styles can not be competitive in table tennis sport, but just smashsing - countering style can exist only. It is advised that you boycott all heavyweight balls in table tennis, because heavyweight balls steal your playing time. Heavyweight balls lead to shorter rallies, less ongame time, and more offgame time for picking balls. Thus, the ITTF must as soon as possible apply lightweight balls of 2.5gram to replace the current 2.7 gram balls.

Hi ITTFWorld video editing team! I feel like the editing is missing some emotions. After a big point, where the audience and commentators go off, I would like to live the moment with them. Instead there’s a direct cut to the next scene. Let us live the moment just a bit.

[@bernardospinelli5588]

The audio editing of those clips is extremely poor. Every edit (video and audio) requires its own trim, you don't just insert standard fades and dissolves at the end of each clip and expect the editing to be decent. You can give the viewers the sensation of living the moment by using simple video cuts (not using crappy cross dissolves) but making smooth, well-thought transitions in the audio. The editing of those videos is somewhat lazy and amateurish, remind me of the awful Wimbledon's tennis highlights, which are as traditional as the white outfits. Or it's just a stupid AI robot doing the job, which sucks (and the results are quite bad). Which is a big shame due to the relevancy of those matches.

[@21centdregs]

@@bernardospinelli5588 it's definitely put together by ai. it's the typical way software finds highlights and cuts em together. maybe a human checks it quick to make sure no points were missed, but i doubt it. i've seen some truly weird cuts in the edit from ittf and wtt videos

7:23 That two handed backhand was too good that he had to try it again at 7:30

[@DrinkWater713]

What advantage does that grant him?

[@3dprintworld503]

@@DrinkWater713 disorients the opponent and also more powerful.

[@DrinkWater713]

@@3dprintworld503 I don't see how it could possibly be more powerful. The swing would have less speed, and the weight of the ball is a nonfactor.

[@3dprintworld503]

@@DrinkWater713 Idk if you played TT before, but the ball is alot heavier than you think when it's going that fast. You can actually feel you're hand getting pushed back when stop like a 40mph ball. Also, because you're placing your entire body weight into the shot, it's stronger, and you can literally see that by the speed of his backhand smash. It's really hard to execute and the chances of it actually landing is pretty low though, since there is no top spin on the ball, just a straight smash.

[@DrinkWater713]

@@3dprintworld503 I guess I just never played with anyone nearly good enough that the weight of the ball made any difference whatsoever, much less to the point of my hand getting pushed back because of it. I used to play tenis (since I was a kid) before playing TT, so I guess I got pretty strong at resisting the weight of the ball.

[@Looeelooee]

Very nice match by Calderano! If just a couole critical points had gone his way it would have been a totally different outcome. Wang Chuqin is a beast

Nem sempre uma derrota é ruim, e essa é um exemplo, mesmo contra o primeiro do mundo jogou bem e teve coragem pra ir pra cima, e vendeu caro a derrota. Agora é continuar nesse ritmo e tentar se aperfeiçoar ainda mais, que deve conseguir ganhar algum WTT até as olimpiadas.

[@Saracen101]

Thank you ITTF for going back to the traditional angle. The side on angle was terrible in recent months. Just needs a bit closer view though.

[@johnsausage]

I think a diagonal view from a higher position is also nice (but without camera moving). At some point in the future we may have multi cam selection in those videos if you buy KZbin premium and pay something for the channel 😅

[@starking1187]

@@mryan4452 Yes I agree with you that with this angle the player closer to us tends to block the view of the ball especially when the ball is played to his/her backhand.
