lol 35 :)

jesus christ the net never seizes to amaze me. I suggest we make a new sport with boosting/speed glue allowed, super spin pips allowed,same color rubbers allowed and we can call it "PING IAMNOTINDENIAL PONG" p.s. Once it seemed really funny that NL wanted me to post a video of me playing to...

dima did play a lot this year, that is the difference. isnt it annoying that for a whole year full of pro tours the top chinese are cherry picking only the platinum event? I remember 2009 up to 2012 the cnt was in transition period and it was great because u had ma long zhang jike xx wang hao ma...

EEExactly and they will all stop whining in 3-4-5 months from now. I mean its funny they really care about how unfair the new ranking system is , they should gather money to help poor athletes and talents that are now wasted because of the new rangking system# ding ning will have to play...

so now its not about ranking system but it is about who has better head to head? can you decide please cause you are not answering my question (as always)? You still seem not to understand what ITTF is trying to do here, yes the point allocation is PROBABLY not fair, but its too early to judge...

yeah why play and risk his hard earned position

ball changed for some companies to make money thats the single truth. and this change in rankig system is also for tt to have better TV quality product in pro tours and commercialize the sport more. its not about evolution or revolution, it was always about money

so...ur telling me that in the next world champ the current world ranking system wont predict accurately enough. Like predictions are the goal here? seriously? ittf's motive was crystal clear, force big players to compete more often. so far pro tours were a joke and no one was watching till the...

provide us with a better ranking system then. U talked about december 2010 to may 2011(p.s. ma long was injured thats why he didnt attend i guess thats en excuse for ZJK only but not for ma long hahahaha j/k), i was talking for the whole 2011 where ma long was undefeated for like 40-50 straight...

we cannot push them to do anything mate dont have illusions :P the quality on the videos is still bad and we have been complaining like for ages. I know its disappointing but thats the way it is, the plastic ball was also a radical decision and of course no one was asked not even the players. It...

To clarify my point even more. as NL said rankings give us a depiction of who is the best in a period of time. In 2011 ML had an amazing streak of wins in pro tours but failed to deliver in important matches. The worlds best is always correlated/connected to a person's own criteria and...

you are getting overworked with semantics and missing the point. You are cherry picking words as carl said, yes i did say rankings are for seedings but u seem to forget that i said that rankings/ratings are an just indication of a player's value. I ve been saying that like for ages. All the...

indeed the sacking of LGL had some drawbacks but fzd vs ovtcharov on german open was brutal nonetheless and I dont think fzd would have won for sure if he had LGL on his side. dima was phenomenal and even in the grand finals that 4-0 on fzd's favor is extremely misleading. I seriously believe...

Yeah i dont meant inactive for 3 or 4 months consecutively but we saw many times big players not only the chinese to participate in specific events (and almost never participating in small pro tours)just to keep their rating high thus a good seeding for upcoming world cup or world champ. You...

I get your point but the ''best'' current player must always prove it on the table. Rankings were made in order to have seedings for tournaments, thats why I always said ranking and rating is just an indication. The world champ or olympic champ ''title'' is far more meaningful title than just...

because ma long is a fairy? or the pope. or both p.s. also im not focused on ma long, Im excited that dima and boll manage to beat the chinese and cant wait for the next event to see the clash. The japs are also very close and I hope hirano keeps improving

spot on carl!

u cant achieve perfect. define perfect first please...how do you perceive it? perfect,at least for me, at this situation is keeping everyone happy and a fair rating system for all. which is impossible. the current rating system is better than the previous, at least that is my opinion There is...

I think it depends on the approach every coach or player has. I always train and prepare my mates to always be ready for a fast shopt, whether it is a serve/receive push,block or topspin near the endline . Those kind of shots are the worst case scenario for every player thats why after u make ur...

yes but hungarian open is small potatoes its not qatar kuwait or german open. there is not a perfect system and in my eyes this system is better. ML and FZD will eventually go 1,2 if they play up to their level no matter what other players do. Lets not miss the big picture here, having inactive...
