Hey I have rheumatoid arthritis too. Have you tried Humira? It helped me tremendously and I literally feel normal again. Notice a huge difference when I'm off it. If you want I can give you more info but tbh talking to your doctor about it is the way to go. But totally recommend it!!!!

So I've been off to college for almost a week now and it's been brutal. Over the summer, I played everyday for at least an hour and then watched an hour of TT videos at night. But now in college it seems that I can't practice nearly as much as I did simply because there is nowhere to practice...

He really does make a lot of money, especially that the government provides food and lodgings for him. But I do think that he is highly stressed out and definitely wouldnt be surprised to not see him at the 2020 olympics. Still one of the greatest caoches ever. Really gets to know his players...

First of all, I cant tell how they play very well. Im still new and thus might be missing my shots more because my technique isnt completely ingrained. Im not sure as I can be pretty inconsistent ;PP Also I really really really appreciate the Dawei rec, Carl and Der_Echte! It fits very very...

So I went shopping online to make a custom bat for the first time ever and tried to find some cheap but good rubbers. I found these Mark V's coming from China for 10 bucks and thought it was a snag. I bought four sheets of rubber from the same store but the rubbers are actually two different...

Yea I'm actually starting a team at Loyola, which is the school I go to. I know the school close to me, northwestern, has a team but I don't know if they will allow me to play there. And the NCAA idea is a good one. Definitely gonna do that. Thanks everyone for the replies! I've already...

I'm going off to college in a few days so now I'll have a lot more time to watch very high level table tennis events as well as some of the lower tiered events and athletes. Do you guys know of any rising stars who I should keep an eye on? I think it'd be fun to watch a lower ranked (but still...

Sorry but did you guys miss the Olympics?? Ma Long was soooo good that his matches were almost boring and kinda hard to watch. Can't even imagine being a world class player ranked above the top 20 and getting my ass whooped so hard. Sorry for the intense sarcasm but Ma Long seems to be far and...

WOW I almost feel like the Japanese have a chance. Might be one of the biggest upsets in recent history.

he is placing the ball well but nowhere near well enough to stop the Ma train right now. Ma Long is looking nigh-unbeatable

welp this is gonna be a quick finals game...

Just realized how weak Vladdi's forehand loop is...

How did Vladi beat Dima so handily in that fifth set? I am new to table tennis so I have trouble understanding some of the smaller changes players make in between sets. Did he change his attack patterns to throw Dima off or was it the use of the flips that threw Dima off?
