Referring to himself in the third person is a skill set I am sure he could parlay into something. Maybe some country somewhere needs a king. Perhaps a volcanic rock that has emerged in the Pacific somewhere.

Yes, that is actually right. ITTF was not forced to post it since it wasn't their contest! Also even if he briefly muttered xie xie (something that could be teased out if you had a professional sound studio to enhance the signal, although after listening again I thought I heard it), it wasn't...

interesting. I used to travel to DC area a lot on business and would often take a lesson from Cheng. He emphasized that a lot, and he we would spend some time in kind of random topspin drills where he would try to get me to do that. Sometimes he would fool me by changing his body and hitting...

ttmonster, I was just about to post this. It is some of the most awful behavior I have ever seen in a professional athlete with respect to fans (and bear in mind that there was not much in Dusseldorf that was more annoying to other spectators than ZJK fangirls, I saw that first hand). The...

Indeed.

Ba'al is very bad. Fear Ba'al. Ba'al has spoken. (in fact, Ba'al is a Bad Hombre).

Really? Where was that? Togo or whatever flag you were using awhile back? I don't think that is going to happen to somebody who scams trades of ping pong paddles [for reasons I now see that Carl has laid out without using any big words in a form that even a child could understand]. I think...

* People may think the scam is relatively trivial. I live in the US and am reasonably well paid in my job, so no, getting scammed out of a blade is not that big of a deal for me. But a lot of people on this forum and other international forums are younger, have very little money, live in...

Sorry, no. First part of the reason I know the address is because the guy who got scammed gave it to me and within a few minutes I could confirm that and many other things. I get the argument and actually did give some thought to whether or not to include the mailing address but the reason I...

Suga, if you see this, I hope you can warn the German website you follow. We need to stop these people in their tracks.

I am the For Sale moderator at MyTT, as well as a frequent contributor here, as many of you will know. Over at MyTT our latest scammer has victimized at least two members. I don't usually post here on the relatively rare occasions that we have someone like that over there, but I have now...

At MyTT we have had a for sale scammer who has victimized at least two members and who has been hitting sites across Europe. Be on the lookout for him in case he comes here. He uses the names "Riky", "Erik" and "Petra". This person is actually named Erik Zegermacher. His wife is named...

Completely off topic, the new set of wheels I just bought for my road bike cost ~$400 (fortunately I had "buyer points" because I had bought the bike at a special sale, and still have about $70 bucks). The money drain of cycling is intense compared to table tennis. All of you, thank your...

Another thing about seeing earlier is learning to watch your opponent more in between shots. Depending on their position at a certain point you can predict where they pretty much have to hit the ball (unless they are Waldner).

Here is something I have discovered, it is quite interesting about how we perceive things. The start was that I recently had one of those hallmark number birthdays and didn't like feeling old. So, I have almost compulsively spent the entire spring and summer getting fitter. I have lost weight...

And in ABS, not cellulose acetate.

This does not appear to be D40+ though. Until they make orange ABS balls I will not get excited.

I don't miss speed glue for various reasons*, but to be historically accurate I should mention that it was a lot bigger problem in the 1980s and early 90s because the solvents were really nasty, including various halogenated hydrocarbons. However, the stuff TT manufacturers were selling by...
