Sunday, June 16: Xu Xin takes TRIPLE GOLD in the final day of the Japan Open 2019! After three consecutive semifinal finishes on the world tour and a disappointing early exit from the world championships, the 29-year-old veteran is back on top. Long live penhold! Men’s Singles Men’s...

Hello everyone, this is a summary of all the action at the Japan Open 2019. I already wrote this for my local club's facebook page, but I thought I'd share it here for those who don't want to dig into the details on their own. Hope you enjoy! All media courtesy of the ITTF website and Youtube...

Hello ITTF, I wanted to write to you because I think there are some issues that need to be addressed by the organization. Firstly, I want to say that table tennis is a wonderful sport. There is a reason why almost 1/3 trillion people enjoy it. This is even more than football (soccer)!ITTF has a...

Apologies for the late response. Thanks for the feedback. I will take a look later on. Life has been crazy recently.

The coach (Chen Qi) was telling Xu Xin to give a middle ball (either hard flip or deep push), force LGY to give a bad quality loop, and then counterloop whatever comes next. Also, his serves got him a lot of points.

Alright guys, I already won my bet with my friend, so don't go too crazy with this thread lol. @yoass has a point about not over-sexualizing things, which is why I was hesitant to include the women's side at first. Keep the images PG :D

Some major changes were made to the guide, especially regarding formatting and organization. There was some content that was adjusted. I also added some images to help make things more visually appealing. Please check it out and let me know what you guys think! -David

So true!!!

Thanks for the input so far! I will go back and make some edits once I have more time, particularly on the organization and ease of reading.If you can, please go to the google doc and add comments for what you think should be adjusted. (right click > comment)

Surprise surprise :p

Also note that the blades section is the one I spent the most effort on, and I tried to narrow down the options to about three per speed rating. Of course, I was not able to try all of these blades. However, my hours and hours spent on review sites and forums (while procrastinating on my work...

Hey everyone, Check out my equipment buying guide! http://bit.ly/Equipment_recommendations_DX Hopefully it helps some developing players who are drowning in the hundreds of recommendations on the forums. Note that this was written as an FAQ-style reference for players in my local club, so some...

Who is the most attractive player on the CNT men's side? I'm having a (friendly) debate with a teammate and I'm curious to know your opinions. In this picture: Fan Zhendong, Wang Hao, Ma Long, Zhang Jike, and Xu Xin. You can maybe include Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin if you want. (not...
