but like Dizzee Rascal says -- you got to have a dream, cause if you ain't got a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?

I am Alpay. He started at 14 and wants to be wr 200 by age 20, I started at 43 and want to be usatt 220 at 52. Whose dream is more ridiculous, his or mine? Not much difference really,

@NL i assume you mean no one learns technique *only* playing matches? Obviously playing matches is important too, a skill to learn in itself.

In other words, just because something is possible doesn't mean it can actually happen. Otherwise I would have won the Powerball at least 15 times already. Which is about as likely as any one table tennis player getting as good as harimoto.

Of course it is possible, because obviously harimoto did it. But ask yourself your own question - what exactly did harimoto do to get where he is? That is a much better question than how you can play like ma long. Forget about ma long and do what harimoto did, or the closest you can get where...

How many hours a day are you able to train with high quality coaches or partners? Not just playing matches but multiball and drills specifically chosen to help you improve. Like Tony said, there are other kids who are ahead of you who are training 6-7 hours every day at serious national...

Newer fave is I love it by icona pop. -- i crashed my car into the bridge, I DON'T CARE -- LOL And all-time fave, the best song ever, Echo Beach by Martha and the Muffins

Stupid PoS, is what I usually call mine, if I call it anything at all. For some reason when things go well the bat doesn't get a ton of credit, but when bad things happen it takes a share of the blame

The number of false rape/sexual assault accusations is a tiny fraction of the real crimes that go unreported because of systemic victim intimidation based partly on massive publicity for the relatively few false claims, and tiny publicity about the true scale of the problem. For anyone who...

Watched the vid. This whole discussion about equipment is beside the point. Keep your setup and learn to move your feet. If your shoes were glued to the floor and you recorded these drills again, the video would look exactly the same as what you posted. You can't reach out for fhs or...

This sounds like your new coach talking. I like it.

It's true that I used a TB ZLF for more than a year. Zylon doesn't have the "frying pan" feel that I get from ALC and ZLC blades. Before and since I have played various all-wood blades. One of those was an american hinoki (which is not hinoki) one ply, albeit a *very* customized one at about...

Superior is what feels superior in your hand when you strike a ball with it. I hate the feel of carbon blades, hate it. But what to me signals playing with a frying pan, to others signals large sweet spot. My all wood is superior for me. His carbon/composite is superior for him. I'm with...

Here is the best ever video guide to how to jump rope. Hey ebo, ebo ebonettes!

Look this is exactly like tennis, as NL has pointed out. Part of being #1 is showing up to play. 8 events a year doesn't seem like too much to ask. Still in WTA both Williamses reduced their tournament schedules to stay healthy, and lesser players got to be ranked above them. Their choice...

The kids who were at MDTTC all the time definitely got better over the whole ten weeks or so of the summer. For me being there two weeks it was a lot of fun, but I didn't improve much in any area. My level was lower then and I understood even less than I do now. The training was standard 5...

Short version: The coaching is first-rate, Portugal is amazing, and the price is unbelievably good. Go there and see for yourself. This is not a limited time camp. It's a club that is open 52 weeks a year for training. Their website is http://www.ttpor.pt/en/. Email is...
