Holy crap!

I would say all of the above + deception. There's really nothing more frustrating than misreading the serve, getting a side-spin or a flach ball, thinking it was underspin. You go for the short push, the ball goes up, opponent kills it and you stand there looking like a moron.

This really shouldn't be a "yes or no" question. I've tried two different poly balls so far, and they were practically incomparable. One was barely distinguishable from the celluloid ball (DHS ***) and the other was pure horror (JOOLA ***). Like they weren't even made from the same material.

♫ If you're having backspin problems I feel bad for you, son. I've got 99 problems, but a chopper ain't one. ♫

God damn, I like the camera angle in these videos!

My RBP is better than Xu Xin's. Just saying. ;)

Don't mean to be a prick, but this is a typical example of "too much too soon". In complete honesty, the guy in the video didn't even master the basics.

Strange that a Xu VS Ma match would go that way, considering that XX has the most attractive playing style in all of CNT. Completely opposite from, say, FZD whose game consists mainly of powerful banana flicks and devastating forehand killshots. Not much character in that, methinks.

I get the "this stream is currently unavailable" message (written in German).

How are these chinese balls in terms of spin? BTW, what about Butterfly? Their three-star poly balls are supposed to be official balls for the upcoming WTTC, but they're only available for pre-order in their webshop. Has anyone actually tried them yet?

Yeah.... No.

Tried the Joola *** poly ball yesterday, and it was a god damn nightmare. Bounce completely uneven an unpredictable, and I was really struggling to produce spin. My backhand loops are usually spinny as hell (my game relies on that quite a bit), and my opponents didn't seem to have any trouble...

Something tells me that the Chinese want ZJK to overthrow Waldner as the greatest of all time, and since the only thing in his way are his own teammates... Well, do the math. Third consecutive world championship title + second olympic gold medal next year = greatest of all time. It's...

Rijeka :cool:

Holy sh1t! :D

Jeong Sangeun choked in the end. Pity. :(

Those of you who voted for Kreanga must feel really silly now. :P

Depends on your definition of an "upset". Chen Chien-An and Jiang Tianyi could take him in straight sets blindfolded, while drunk.

Somewhat disappointing roster. I hope Tokić does well.
