Speaking of brands, how do you guys pronounce the word "TIBHAR"? I know it stands for Tibor Harangozo, and I've always pronounced it with a hard, audible "H", but most people seem to say it with a silent "H" ("tibar").

Jesus Christ! :D

I can watch training hall videos literally for hours.

Quadri, I don't have any questions for you at this time. Instead, I just want to wish you the best of luck. Hearing that crowd in Düsseldorf chant your name gave me chills. Table tennis needs more of that.

FACT: Using a teammate as a sparing partner is racist. xD

This drill is being done in my club all the time. BH > MID > BH > FH - repeat.

I tried a DHS *** poly ball today, and while it wasn't as bad as I feared, something definitely did feel off. It's almost as if it lacks arc compared to the old celluloid ball.

I once lost 21-0. I was 12 years old, and the guy I played against was like 16. That asshole was out for blood, and doing it for the lolz. The embarrassment I felt was indescribable. To answer the question, I was up 10-0 a few times on tournaments, and always gave a point away. I see no...

Why? It's not like they have an image to maintain. :p

Gonna post some sweet shots and rallies as I stumble on them. The first one comes from Croatian "League 1 - West" (this is Croatia's second rank, the first one is called the "Super league"). This is also where our very own fellow board member MDanielCRO is playing. (skip to 05:35)

I had this cool Butterfly shirt back when I was still a cadet (late nineties)... Once it didn't fit any more, I gave it to my mom. Not sure, but I think she still wears it around the house sometimes. In fact, I don't think the colors even faded all that much. That kind of quality is usually...

ITTF is a bunch of degenerates that haven't done ANYTHING that's in our sport's best interest for over a decade. ZJK is a pro, he earned this money. I'd take those pieces of shit to court if I were him.

Too bad the mask didn't help him hold the racket properly. :p

Those baloon-comments ruin the video completely. They should have included this: (starting from 3:36)

Of all the players that change their grip during a point, Dima, I think, does this most obviously. I do it too, but since I'm nowhere near as fast as him, I sometimes get stuck with the wrong grip. Hitting the backhand with my forehand grip isn't much of a problem, because that one is, I'd say...

This has to be the classiest table I've ever seen!

Cristiano supposedly makes 325 000 Euros per week. Does Timo even make that much in a year?

Nice! CR is a nice person and a great philanthropist.

Great finale. Marcos and Tiago were on fire today. Dima had some occasional flashes of brilliance, but altogether, neither he or Timo displayed championship-tier form. And those friggin' balls... Looks like the makers still have a lot of R&D ahead of them. Poly balls just aren't 'there' yet.

It's official, Dan. I hate you. :mad: :D
