  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Have been training much less, but I will probably need to try to see a doctor again at some point to address chronic injuries and reevaluate the possibilities. Just too lazy procrastinating... Still playing well. Gone to a very neutral grip and playing decently. IT is really funny how grip...

    I think he misses the impact of economic competition on the ability of sports to survive. If he took it more seriously, he would understand why making some modifications to entertainment and commercialization are extremely important.
  3. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    You are making a lot of assumptions about TT in China. Who has more fans, Yao Ming or Ma Long? Lebron James or Ma Long? Tiger Woods or Ma Long? When you pose the question that way, then it isn't too unbelievable that Simone Biles might have more fans than Ma Long. Not wrong or right, just...
  4. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    You just don't follow the Olympics generally. You would probably have never heard of Ma Long either if you were not a TT fan.
  5. T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

    This format even for singles matches has some potential to me.
  6. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    His point is still valid.

    Because the line is useless unless you are playing doubles and potentially ruins the aesthetics to someone who isn't used ti the line?

    Nope, length of fingernails is not as important as catching the ball on the fingernails, which can be easier if you have long fingernails,
  9. T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

    Why not? The most important thing is for our sport to have a commercially viable and publicly respected model.
  10. Timo Boll different BH rubber?

    Sure. Sure. Truthfully, it is not that simple.
  11. T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

    How could they not get Xu Xin and JEan Michael Saive for this?
  12. T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

    Lovely performance by CIC - that she managed to tie that was just brilliant when she could easily have lost 0-4.

    Ding Ning is a shark!
  14. T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

    If you don't watch live, you have to wait for the edited version on TV. Not a bad idea, IMO, given how much money they are spending on marketing this.
  15. T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

    What will be more interesting is how all this will look edited on TV. It reminds me of Team tennis, but they have to work on the scoring a little more.
  16. T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

    What is wrong with if the thing is for show? I have always believed that we should have a competitive exhibition aspect to our sport. There are whole competitions in billiards/snooker dedicated to trick shots. Swimmers do synchronized swimming and diving. The dunk competition is one of the...
  17. Ding Ning using a Carbonado at China Open!

    Liu Shiwen was using HL5. Just as interesting to me.
  18. Timo Boll different BH rubber?

    I have abstained from commenting so far because I find these kinds of threads to say a lot about the people posting them. I remember on another forum, someone used a bad picture to argue that Dima may have swithched to T80. But if you looked at the picture, it was so hard to read the numbering...
  19. China Open 2017

    They didn't get coached in the finals, I suspect that Dima was coached either by teammates or people from his old CTTSL club.

    You are repeating ttmonster's and Tropical's point. You are simply asking people to prove themselves when there is no good reason to listen to you.
