Donic Appelgren World Champions 89 I believe the best value for money is offered by XVT ZL Hinoki, which is supposed to be a clone of Bty Amultart Excellent quality & finish, good speed All+/Off-, could be a little lighter (my own preference), amazing touch. And price, like the French say "deux...

The rule of 4 months is clear but the question is why ZJK and XX were inactive for the last 4 months ? Injuries or perhaps consequences of the rebellion ? And LGL is nowhere to be seen, as well as other best known coaches. Is anybody able to enlighten us as to what is really happening ? And...

The ssubjec t of fixing matches by the Chinese became recently rather popular Please see the following link: http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?9013-London-Olympics-Match-Fixing-Revealed And these are just the cases that the international community could learn about from...

If you are still surprised about the decisions the Chinmese coachs can make please read the following article: http://tabletennista.com/2014/10/liu-guoliang-ordered-wang-ho-to-lose-against-zhang-jike-in-london-video// I don't say it happens every time and averywhere, but it appears it still...

I'm not too much astonished His behaviour is not too much astonishing, personally I was just curious what he would do this time, rip his shirt (no, not again), forget the shakehand with Ma Long (no, not this time, after he won)... OK, I think the first kick was accidential, he just missed the...

All these shots are exceptional. I vote for Habesohn's not just for the quality of the shot, but for Ma Lin's facial expression with his jaw dropping down, which appears a few seconds after the shot when he's trying to understand what has happened. It's priceless:eek:

Chompiraz, regret I cannot completely agree with you. What you described in your post is rather pure amateur ping pong, not table tennis. I can also see people staying behind the table, feet glued to the floor, moving their arms only and pretending to train. They claim to have a great stamina...

I was, but i'm dug out today. In fact I could drive to a training but the jam was for about 2 hours so I abandonned - quite unusual for 7PM in my place (Warsaw suburbs). But it must have been also an accident or other event: -13deg C and some snow would be a sufficient reason. Instead i've been...

I believe this is the best post in this thread. Considering the number of players, the state support, the quality of coaching one can only wonder how other players happens to win some tournaments from time to time? We can only ask how it was possible that such small nations as Hungary or Sweden...

My setup must suit my style which is quite rare. For me the most important is the blade and the one I play with is now Stiga Hybrid Wood NCT, which being pretty hard and fast has amazing control. When I destroyed my 30 years old beloved BY Bercik de Luxe I have tested a few blades and prefer...

Several years ago I had the occasion to read a comparison of several sports in terms of energy spent and was amazed to leearn that in this respect the hardest sport is badminton, which requires as much expense of energy as marathon! would you believe it? I don't remember where table tennis was...
