Don't get pissed off or frustrated...get even !! I know it sounds more easy than it really is. Put realistic goals and brake them into small parts. The best advice I ever listened was from kreanga in his old butterfly tutorial/training video. Always set a realistic goal and a little bit more...

anyone can apply on ittf tours as long as he/she can afford it

Also I definitely agree about the "we are human beings not robots" part, I was very surprised doing the comparison from Mattenet's performance in single & club matches and his underperforming with the national team. So maybe mattenet and federation dont agree in some aspects, resulting in a bad...

Well, maybe its an economical issue. I dont know Im just speculating, maybe Mattenet's staff costs alot in that case the federation should try and provide what the players need...unless they dont care of course. Let's dont forget that the economical crisis is everywhere, 1 year ago Papageorgiou...

Its understandable if he desires his personall staff but if you want to call yourself a professional you must try to perform your best game, no matter the surroundings/situations around you The chinese always expose their talents early, the swedes also. I dont know if the french federation is...

I think youngsters from France deserve a chance more than Mattenet. He is hostage to his own psychology, when things go right he can play amazing table tennis and when things go bad he never managed a break through. He has reached his peak long time ago and the younger generation is far more...

good job Baal. info like yours are gold and potentially money saving. I believe in 2nd chances as long as the "user" shows remorse and deep understanding of the damage he causes. Besides.. from my point of view, cheating like that on the internet is stupid because no one will trust you after...

100% predictable and flicked service. its just a very good show off and shows dont win games :P

hahhah yeah probably only zhang jike will know the truth as ma lin was maybe too far to tell .

Yea the air "pushing" the ball maybe a good explanation of what really happened, Zhang's explosive motion would have sent the ball faster and into the net or out on the left side of the table

go @ 0:30 first serve is sidetopspin and 2nd serve is sideunderspin but the trajectory and landing spots of the ball are almost identical. the underspin serve is clearly lower but its much easier to see the difference on video than in a match situation Mizutani can also do this effect with...

ahahah sorry i watched the video like a zillion times , years before and still nothing can 100 % persuade me that zhang touched it. I cant find the post that was a real battle between users who believed it didnt touch and uses who believe it did. Even at 0.25 speed and after downloading and...

the serve was sideunderspin, not pure back spin. zhangs swing is not same with the trajectory of the ball if we suppose ZJK actually whiffed or hit it. anyway its kinda pointless!

in some cases they may be the same thing. In a nutshell, schlager was very unpredictable on the tempo and placement of the serve and many times he changed suddenly his swing (right on contact and after the backswing) into a different serve than you expected. Waldner on the other hand was...

Schlager LGL the best and even better than Waldner in terms of creativity,fantasy & unpredictability. Waldner ma lin and LGL masters of deception.

hahah this is one of my favourite videos, I have argued many times in all the forums about whether zhang touched the ball or not. And I still believe it didnt touch it :D Its still an endless arguement, some people believe ZJK whiffed and some people dont. Great serve on either occasion

Another thing on high toss serves I forgot to say is that, when you have troubles adapting to the rhythm of the toss, then first look up at the highest point, then the backswing of the server will give you a hint on when and where the ball is going to land so you can be extra prepared for your...

Hmm perhaps we are saying the same thing here, for me the moment of contact happens automatically, i just see where the ball is hitted but my eyes are still more focused on the ball. Now for high toss serves (only) , I dont look at the ball all the time as I explained, I look up to check the...

The safest way to receive is to always wait for the fast serve to attack it, 2 bounce serves and half long serves are always slow. Now if you have adapted well to the server's habbits sometimes you can predict if the serve is fast, again by peripheral vision a fraction of a second before the...
