One's ability to do it does depend on what other things are going on and frankly, at a certain point, my desire to even bother with it. Sometimes I am not around for a few days because to be honest I have largely run out of things I care to say about table tennis. These days I pretty much...

None of us are anti ITTF. We just want them to be better. The last few years have not been great. In the greater scheme of things this is not huge.

I spend a lot of time at MyTT deleting spam messages.

Quiet everywhere. I am a mod at MyTT. Common pattern in the summer. For many years. And Tinykin is right. Not a lot to talk about just now.

I have never heard of a draw being changed at a major professional event AFTER it has been made up. Maybe I am just naive.

That T540 looks great!

Take me with you! I love Japan. I've never actually tried to play there, though.

My guess is that ITTF wants to make things as hard as possible for CNT players because they think that their dominance of the sport is bad in the long run. So they try to put their fingers on the scales here and there when they can. And this time they got called out for doing it by a legendary...

Your little local tournament is not the same thing as a major ITTF event. Sorry to have to say.

I am glad he spoke out,

You obviously have a great deal of natural talent for this. It is really a pity you weren't able to start playing as a young kid. I know one other guy who got that good that fast after starting in his early 20s. He was like a sponge in terms of picking things up. He peaked out at just under...

Bollocks!

You just ordered a rubber that has if anything less margin for error than Tenergy. Not going to help you keeping the ball on the table. Also, there is more to TT than the loop and those things need to be worked on too.

her (Mima Ito) BH down the line is one of the great weapons in the sport.

I can say this. If you can watch Lily closely and try to move as much like she does as you possibly can, you won't be going wrong. Her footwork is perfect IMHO and really a joy to watch. It is not as easy as she makes it look. You are not going to succeed if you are carrying much extra...

If you try to think about stuff like that you will be a muscle-confused mess. It is anti-Zen. If you do really fast multiball your body will figure out the most efficient way to move (for you) without your thinking about it.

If you can name just one you MAY be a fanboy.

Be prepared to pay a lot. You might want to specify whether you are looking for old silver tag version or even older black tag version.

There was a post somewhere, I think at MyTT where someone said that they cleaned their handle with toothbrush and tooth paste and it made the thing look like new. I don't do that. Ever.

In my opinion still the GOAT, not necessarily reflected in number of championships (she won a lot though) but just by the eye test of watching her play in her prime. She had no weakness whatsoever and the best footwork I have ever seen, man or woman. I do not personally think that any of the...
