I agree but I know many people some who will not even agree with how I describe them who clearly want to attack more than defend with pips and complain when they don't win matches. So you have to decide what gives you fun. And if you think that short term wins trump long term development...

Today, even some of the best "TV" shows and movies in the US don't make their money on traditional TV. Streaming allows for more self-selection of content. It's going to be the death of network television over time. And I agree that some things are better to watch on TV. It is not easy to...

Carl, He means trolling the other table tennis player (his opponent) by using long pips to make them miss. NDragon, I really depends on whether you prefer to make people miss and be consistent or whether you prefer to hit the ball past people. I know many people who love to hit the ball past...

Looks better and level appropriate. The right kinds of things seem to be happening that make the drill correct. MAking the levels of spin more consistent would be the next step.

Was that really necessary? :p

Don't think the penalty had a major impact as Xu Xin and FZD met the tour numbers comfortably. It was more a combination of internal China events (The national games) and a desire to rest from a successful year given the WTTC and national games successful title defenses and nagging injuries...

He has wins over the likes of Xu Xin, Jun Mizutani, Chang Chi Yuan, Timo Boll and Vladimir Samsonov. He does have many bad losses and plays a lot, so there is a case to be made that he is often not as strong as his ranking would suggest. There is a internet forummer who particularly dislikes...

So who is the team? Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan and Yu Ziyang?

Hahahaha - hope I didn't lie. MY toss is not purely veritical as I start from slightly in front and toss back to my right hip but if it is good enough for Ma Long, it is good enough for me.

I suspect its pros didn't see it as an improvement over Evolution while the other pros saw the SSP as an improvement. Time will tell. Not sold on the booster in this SSP.

That is ridiculous. And I am not joking either. Anything over $35 is not in my market.

That was a championship match for the China games not a super league match. They are on the same Super League team.

Banana flick is like a backhand loop or a sidespin variation or just a hooking backhand shot. Strawberry flick is what some people also call violin. The only top player who I know uses it on a regular basis is Gauzy. That's why I get very confused when I read Lightzy repeatedly use the...

The big guy on my club whose looping game people like, he habitually begins his serving motion holding the ball beneath the table. There is another guy from India I play whose major training period was during the hidden serve era. So even if he is trying to serve legally, his pendulum serves...

The biggest reason people don't use reverse pendulum serves is that they can't put enough spin on the ball compared to the pendulum and the wrist isn't as flexible. The Punch serve is somewhat changing that now.

I remember playing at the US Open one year. A player in my group had hidden serves. His opponent didn't complain. The audience including me were outraged. When the opponent won an easy first game, we asked him why he wasn't complaining. He said all the serves were no spin so it wasn't...

I serve illegally as do many players I know. I don't hide my serves or consciously toss the ball low. The rules are such that many people who serve illegally do so and don't know. There are no levels of illegality in the rules. Umpires rarely if ever call serve violations except of the worst...

Like I said the blade has one of the deepest dwells for any blade out there. Just hit with a slightly more circular counter hitting stroke and hit a little harder. You need to think like an advanced player. You can't change equipment and loop exactly the same way, you have to adjust your...

My coach said to serve pendulum if I wanted to open with my backhand and the most backhand dominant player in my club who never pivots serves pendulum serves. In the end it really is about your ball contact preferences and his well your opponent is adjusting for either sidespin. I understand...

Lol. Nah. I mean what the event symbolizes. I watched a lot of T2APAC, that speaks for itself.
