Johan Hagberg coaches beginner level basics! Hello, I've been working tirelessly here in the US to try and broaden the audience and player pool for table tennis. I've gone to tons of events, met a ton of people and had a lot of fun along the way. I'm working on a new video series that...

Haha I think I've seen you before but I can't see the profile picture. I'll study it when I get home :)

I love your enthusiasm for TT in the US. But I do want more. I want table tennis in public schools, and I want the sport to be a serious college sport as well, it's only then will the US be able to compete at the top of international levels.

Hi Victor! Big fan!

Is it a stereotype that can't be changed by showing people how amazing "ping pong" players can be? I don't think so. Thus my name @iluvpingpong and showing nothing but amazing ping pong/table tennis highlights. I got introduced to the game at work, no serious club type players but everyone was...

I have never had someone say anything regarding a negative stereotype about ping pong. I've seen a bunch of people have tables in their garages, play to 21 like old rules, but it's still the same game as table tennis, just without the coaching, fundamentals, or 'proper' technique. I've never...

I fail to see how whole countries calling a sport by the name it is called is creating a bad image for the sport. That's like saying Europeans are creating a bad image for football because they refuse to call it soccer.

Ya MJB trained in China, came to America to coach, went back to China for 2 years to train some more, and is now a coach at 888 table tennis center in Northern California.

Coming off of a loss at the LA Open in early December, Kou Lei seeks to avenge his loss to Ma Jinbao at the Semifinals of the US Open.

It seems like you love table tennis and you hate that people perceive it as a garage game. Great! So do I. That's why I'm combating the stigma by looking to own the word ping pong and showing people what happens when you bring proper strokes to thr sport. We can't just bundle all...

Lol, Yes i was. Thanks for the help!

Rachel has established herself steadily within the top 3 of women players here in the US while Sally at only 15 years young is taking giant leaps to one day be at the top. This is a Semifinals match of the US Open U21 Women's Tournament that took place last week.

I will always disagree with this. I think it's best we move forward and admit it's the same sport but table tennis players tend to separate the two as one being more casual than the other. I would like to hear how, aside from skill level, they are two different sports.

Hey sorry Carl, the angry face was unintentional. I meant to do a thumbs up. 👍🏻 I'm new to the forum! Sorry for the confusion!
