I have two questions. Firstly: Could the sponge be another color than black? For example a dark blue or a dark purple? (Pictures of the rubber marking and the sponge would help a lot) Secondly: What sign tells you that it is a Whale 3? (Again pictures of the rubber marking and the sponge would...

No problem :)

Additionaly I found out that multiple sources say that the Chinese National Team realy used the Haifu Blue Whale II and there were legitimate commercial, provincial and national versions. These versions were factory tuned (except the commercial version) and specially selected to ensure the right...

Well I might just have found what you are looking for. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23395&PN=2 The Haifu Blue Whale II Factory Tuned has a black sponge and comes in "provincial" and "national" version.

Well the only thing I found out is that there was a version of the Haifu Blue Whale III. It was called Haifu Blue Whale III Factory Tuned Training Version: http://ttnpp.com/store/haifu/477-haifu-blue-whale-iii-3-factory-tuned-training-version-6.html You can see 2 versions: one with dark purple...

Are you sure it wasn't purple?

Nope, it is quiet hard to understand if at all.

For me it is not about race. I would like to use non-race connected words. But to make my point understandable it is nearly impossible to do so. But to say it short: for me it is more about culture when I talk about differences of people living in different areas of the world.

I stumbled uppon these videos below. Maybe I wasn't so wrong after all: Youtube will show you even more such videos...

Well, I again learned something. I went to the ITTF ranking. Top 10, 8 asians, 2 non-asians Place 5-15, 11 asians, 4 non-asians (screw the chinese). Top 20, 13 asians, 7 non-asians. Top 30, 16 asians, 14 non-asians. Top 40, 20 asians, 20 non-asians. Top 60, 23 asians, 37 non-asians. My...

What I said might be exaggerated. But I don't see it being wrong or invalid (where else do you see children play instruments or sports like adults?). I have just stated an overal generalized statement about the influence of culture that might be exaggerated in therms of how much impact it has on...

Ps: one thing where the asians are worse than europeans is letting the talent and personality flourish and develop. When the training was not as efficient as today, the europeans could hold their own much better against the asians through their developed talent. Waldner for example was never as...

The fact that top asian table tennis players are better than top european table tennis players is undeniable. Now there are reasons. The biggest reasons are cultural and philosophical. Differences exist in: the cultur of expectation in performance and the philosophy of table tennis. Asian...

To me it seemd like both tried to avoid each others strength on their forhands. It made the game weird to watch for me. I guess FZD won because he took more risks and was much more fresh and eager to win than ML. I think ML was tired after the huge stress of the olympics. It costs a huge amount...
