Who would you like the see on the show next? 🎙

[@manasg.a.202]

Would love to hear Don Parker some day. Always a great experience when he does commentary. It would actually be amazing to have him and Adam together. The two of them gel so well.

I‘d love interviews with coaches

[@chairman9327]

Loved the chat guys.Dan you missed a golden opportunity to name drop me when you mentioned the world vets in Vegas.

[@zeebot1]

Great podcast, such a joy to listen to you guys talking about the possible future of Table Tennis!

[@filexshtorper846]

Could you ask him please in the next interview if he would consider bringing more light into the arena so we could see the fans being involved in the matches. Watching the Olympics was such an awesome experience because you could see the fans involvement. Also it seems like many other sports are trying to bring up the amount of points scored while WTT has decreased them by having players play only best out of 5 instead best of 7 games. Could you ask him what is the reason for that?

Super cool to see insightful content coming through these podcasts. Keep bringing amazing guests.

[@bertoyardie8731]

I love your podcast and have been watching fhe videos multiple times. May i offer a suggestion. Please allow the interviewees to answer questions and expand their thoughts. You guys tend to cut off the interviewees mid answer. Keep up the good work 👍🏽

[@bertoyardie8731]

The WTT PRODUCT IS really exciting. What TT needs to crossover and really generate tennis level revenues is a good Netflix special. Select some top players and follow them around the wtt tour and create some stories. I promise you do that and table tennis will blow up. Contact the team that did SPRINT that will be awesome.

[@TrystwithTableTennis]

Loved the podcast! Such a chill guy, keep it up guys, love you all and appreciate whatever yall do!

[@bobomb3362]

I aboslutely agree with the second channel point. you can make a second channel called WTT future or something like that where you stream feeders, youth tournaments and the qualifiers for contenders and star contenders

[@philmccallum6783]

Great video guys I would like to see you interview Petra Sörling

[@TomEckert]

Awesome talk! These podcasts are a real treat. Feels like you're taking us into the innermost circles of elite table tennis. How awesome would it be to see this sport become more popular and see table tennis academies opening up world-wide! Thanks guys for your amazing content and for promoting the sport 🎉❤

On the topic of camera angle: I really don't understand the obsession with the behind-the-player-view... you can't see the ball, often not even the stroke of a player (watched asien games and european games and at some point I switched off.. it was unbearable!) IF the side-view is high enough you can see every stroke, follow each players movements and personally I get a much better "feeling of the trajectory of the ball" at this angle. The only better view IMO is the corner-view, as we see in most qualifying rounds or R64. Am I the only one feeling this way or what do you guys think 🤔

[@zeebot1]

Added note: a big reason why I don't like the behind-view is that sometimes you see the ball "going up in the air" but there is no feeling of depth / speed / spin of it.

[@mrcadoia]

WTT should put more attention on the YT channel. Better angles of the games. do NOT post interviews of the winners BEFORE the match has even been posted. Also record more time AFTER the win so we can see the celebrations. viewers celebrate with the players at home. always film the handshake. first post full match. THEN the edited one. thank you.

[@Alex-sy4gg]

Love the ep

[@chairman9327]

Ma long please

[@maxmac2664]

Good talk with interesting insights. The side angle is still definetly one of the biggest gripes for me. What use is the modern and cool presentation when you cant enjoy the game with the side angle. Im always looking forward to events without side angle unfortunately nowadays. The angle is not even good for shorts/tiktok as u have to pan left and right to follow the ball during the rally. There is a reason Tennis and Badminton are not filmed from the side. Side angles just make the game harder to follow and also its harder to see the spin(especially sidespin).

[@johnm2310]

20:09 i thought player review was about edge / net balls during a match...that would have been a very good question imho

[@_syfi5999]

you talk about the chinese and indians as the most passionate, but you havent seen the french XD and you will see at wtt montpellier what we are capable of XD. remember my words

[@TableTennisDailyCast]

Ohhh this is exciting we cannot wait 🔥🔥🔥

[@bertoyardie8731]

Montpellier was the best table tennis event I have seen since the Olympics (which was also France). Montpellier deserves a Smash. Awesome venue and crowd 🙌🏽

[@manasg.a.202]

Glad he has finally dropped that idiotic obsession with getting rid of the World Championships. 🙏

[@ministryofvoiddeckttsgp]

If u keep lob sided talking small area basis and not global basis, how u move out globally from a small spot China. 2 cents. others is foreigner...china is foreign to others as well ? Fair play is needed for a global sport.
