  1. Hungarian Open 2018

    Last month was Wong Chun Ting's first victory ever over Vladi... More seriously, I didn't know that. Congrats to him.
  2. Where to buy Omega VII pro?

    I tried this rubber yesterday. Very fast and spinny. The advertising on the package says it tries to get more spin/arc and speed than the previous carbo sponge generation on every positive stroke and I can see it.
  3. Hungarian Open 2018

    Either result wouldn't have surprised me.
  4. Hungarian Open 2018

    You must not have seen their Super League matches to make that comment.

    Will be at WDCTTC on Sunday from 12pm to maybe 7pm or so. Will try to play the league but may leave earlier.

  12. T2 and ITTF join forces!

    How so? And how is T2's success being measured? What are the stats that show it was a success?
  13. Another Rating System Much More Accurate Than the ITTF World Ranking

    My first degree is in Electrical Engineering and I have achieved a 2000 rating in both Chess and Table Tennis. I am extremely familiar with ELO systems and normal distributions, definitely not as technically versed with them as I was 20 years ago but well versed enough to know when someone who...
  14. China Super League 2017

    Ma Long always loses to FZD in Super league. Maybe you didn't like the way the match looked but it has always looked this bad to me. In elimination matches, Ma Long tends to be sharper and focus in Fan Zhendong's weaknesses much more especially his forehand flick gap and short pushing to get...
  15. Another Rating System Much More Accurate Than the ITTF World Ranking

    ERT, You made a very interesting claim that that Ma Long has a 15% chance of beating Dima based on the current rankings. How did you arrive at this result? Thanks.
  18. Media coverage of Table Tennis

    That's probably where the estimate came from, and WTTC is the same audience for this, maybe smaller but not by much.

    Happily looking forward to the Team World Cup, hope it is a great success!!
  20. Which rubbers for my Timo Boll ALC?

    Go with faster rubbers on the wood blade. IF you have already do that, then just buy a faster wood blade. Carbon speed is not for everyone.
