Exactly! You see nothing from the side angle. I have been watching more Badminton, which is more exciting than WTT table tennis. Badminton uses frontal camera as their main camera, in which you can see all the shot trickery!
Such a pity we couldn't have a proper camera angle on #3 (Harimoto around-the-net forehand) because the director was being "creative"... Great collection by the way. Players just keep improving and bringing their own magic on the table.
Great tournament and play, but absolutely useless side on camera angle. It's really simple: camera should be 45 degrees from the corner and head height. It's not rocket science, it's where everyone watches table tennis from at clubs.
Never use this angle again please. Not just this tournament or sponsor, but everyone should take notice, you couldn't get worse angles even if you just randomly chose two different angles lol
