  3. TableTennisDaily BREAK Worlds Longest Table Tennis Rally!

    Seriously I know its a stupid question but, you wont eat or go to the toilet? I think it will be tremendous torture if your like omg I need to go to the toilet right now. Otherwise if you have done small blocks of training it is just a matter of patience persistence and good spirit. Good luck !!!
  4. Best server in the world 2014

    There is no such thing as best server in general. Every aspect to the game is related to another aspect. So , in terms of variation creativity and fantasy I think Schlager and Waldner are the best, tremendous capabilities. Zhang jike's reverse pendulum is also a serve he can do with all kinds...
  5. Pro-Player Transfers of 2014

    Gionis through his facebook profile announced his transfer to Borussia two months ago, he also stated that Butterfly will release new blades series with his name (judgin by photo he published, all of them will be carbon models)...
  6. China Trials for WTTTC 2014

    No, the 2nd qualifiers are for one spot only. The other 3 remaining spots for the team will be decided by the coaches. FZD vs XX will determine which player will take the 2nd slot
  7. The Mythical Double Bounce Loop

    oh and one other thing. Did you hear the sound when he is looping? Compare it with the sound of looping in the previous points. In this "mythical" double bounce loop, the sound is "dead" (sound as if the ball hits more wood and less rubber and not the soft clicking sound of a normal loop (sound...
  8. The Mythical Double Bounce Loop

    Whats the term bad bounce exactly? What do you mean? the trajectory is forward there is no such thing like "curved trajectory back to the table" When spinning the ball two forces are applied the spinning force and the forward force. It is quite obvious that gatien looped with a forward motion...
  9. The Mythical Double Bounce Loop

    Heavy topspin and close to the net + double bounce? Then it isnt "heavy" enough sorry. Heavy topspin means tons of spin and tons of spin cause the ball to bounce really long. If the ball doesnt have lots of spin then maybe it can bounce twice, show me a video of executing your heavy topspin...
  10. The Mythical Double Bounce Loop

    Guys relax if the topspin is really heavy there is no way that it can bounce twice on the table. Actually, the topspin here is not heavy but light. Try to make your heaviest topspin to land close to the net, the ball will go forward and out of the table because of the forward rotation. Gatien...
  11. How much do Pro players Squat & Deadlift?

    Ι dont know if they deadlift, but in squats they lift their weight plus a 20 25 % approximately. The Swedish team at their prime squated 100 ++ kilos in order to strengthen their legs for the upcoming wttc1989. They were the first team to use weightlifting in order to improve their muscle system...
  12. Who is best - Zhang Jike or Ma Long?

    That was not my point :P. I was trying to say that great players rise to the occasion. Waldner and ZJK have in common that they dont care about pro tours or league records and they both played fantastic table tennis when everybody expected them to do so
  13. China Trials for WTTTC 2014

    Guys I saw the full match from Janus channel. They both played excellent, try to watch all of the game it was really a seminar for table tennis tactics. ZJK and ML both played great and they both made stupid mistakes, they are humans not robots. In the end ZJK won the crucial points and...
  14. China Trials for WTTTC 2014

    very close match. ML made more mistakes evnetually, they both played their best though..the chinese trials are much harder than a normal world competition
  15. Tips for serving !

    Yeap great insight about practicing serves by Fab. LGL used his whole body to serve, but Waldner Persson Schlager Ma lin were all excellent servers yet they just use only the forearm and wrist snap. Eventually serving is mostly a matter of personal preference and imagination, practicing serves...
  16. Help with beating my friend

    1. Use more no spin and top or sidetop serves near the net, defenders 90 % of the time wont flick. Half long serves, the ones that nearly pass the opponent's side of the table are a good option also. Personally when I play vs an attacker my serves are 70% underspin+sidespin and the rest 30% is...
  17. Shoulder Pain

    Yes thats a fact even after LGL shows him how to do it his hip rotation is not optimal, he just falls on his left leg and doesnt rotate enough Anyway using the shoulder in the BH stroke is wrong, it is only recommended for advanced players who have perfect technique or natural talent in their...
  18. Senior British League, Premier Division

    I am subscribed to englishtabletennis and barrowttc, but I am also a subscriber in every TT channel, so most of the times new videos dont popup on my "recent uploaded" list because every 2-3 days all the other channels upload their videos. Thank you anyway !
  19. Who is best - Zhang Jike or Ma Long?

    Dude isnt it true ? The same thing could be said when ZJK crushed ML in kuwait open and every ML fan said that ML didnt play good. In fact everytime ML loses every fan on youtube starts blaming him for "not being himself". Nobody can win forever no matter how good he is. ZJK lost to takakiwa ML...
  20. Who is best - Zhang Jike or Ma Long?

    To get the record straight, ML and ZJK were at the national team as youngsters at the same time, but zjk got kicked out. So we cannot make a comparison between them since ML stayed in the national team while ZJK was back at provincial training with lower level coaches and players. Yet he managed...
