@ WiWa you're right
but there are a lot more guys who have no idea about TT, than ppl who really get the athleticism and cleverness of the sport
the "no-idea-guys" wanna see something spectacular (okay,we all want^^) and easy to understand (that's why they love football!)

Imho: this change would take so much speed out of the game, it will damage the sport!

 

[MrRothhaendle]

hahahaha we all got tricked
ITTF...these badasses

 

[YosuaYosan]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL !!

Dan, are you trying to trick us or you also get tricked ? LOL !!

 

[Rhydian]

So, is it rubbish? Tell me before I share my thoughts ^^
Nevertheless the ball's getting different anyway ^^

 

[Anders]

It was a setup just to piss us all off!

Very well! Time to go back to talking about real stuff in TT today

 

[WiWa]

If this is a joke from the ITTF, I don't like it.

If it is made up by someone else, I like it. xD

 

[John_Pish]

Please be a joke please be a joke

 

[Matt Hetherington]

That's a good point there is nothing about this on the ittf website at all...

man i guess incresing the size of the ball will be good but increasing the height of the net thats insanity its hard enough to put the ball over the net with the height of the net right now

you should pay attention to the previous posts to man, we are talking hot about hoax or not

 

[chughtai]

oh hahaha didnt see the previous posts my bad

 

[YosuaYosan]

haha nevermind tho, now we now what you think if the change is not a hoax

I am not sure about the net height though, but the increase in ball size is definitely happening. It's just a matter of when... but I should think it will happen within this 2-3 years.

I thinks so too.. First, change the material without changing the size.
After people got used to it and if ittf thinks it's better, then the ball gets a little bit bigger.

dont say that they want the game to be THIS slow

It is pretty crowded there though

 

[Michal_Z]

Well I only hope that this is a joke..
But if it is a joke, it may be created by someone that dont like Sahara, because this will in fact do not do him any good..

It is pretty crowded there though

because its the 1965 WTTC Final, so yeah its quite crowded but nothing special nonetheless (all WTTC finals were crowded like that imo)..
