Most CNT players might have been using black rubbers back in the day, but according to Dici Ma Lin and Kong were not. I think, Ma Lin was forced to change to black, because DHS doesn't produce red rubbers with blue sponge for some reason.

I started as a PH player before switching to handshake after 5 years. I remember losing confidence in punching my blocks. I found it difficult getting the correct angle for the bat to block. But I guess one has to persevere. Having said that, penhold is still relevant nowadays, just that it's...

I like the photo of the baby holding the TT bat, "how China thinks you play":) probably that's what they think how we all play hahahaha "How I think I play"...mine would be WLQ hahaha but I don't think it will ever comes close!! And in the end it will be the same as the last photo that you have...

Anders, these are indeed top notch!:) thanx for posting them buddy....

I can see your point there Dici. Most probably, with the blue sponge or even black on Xiom rubbers, it may be a little transparent and the colour of the sponge might come through the red rubbers. What I don't quite understand is why bokett comes into the picture? Do you think you can still...

Now, that is quite a good point Roope :). We hardly ever see players using red long pips. Since carbon is black, I guess there is a possibility that they use it in the dye. Thanx for the info...

The LT Plus is an excellent rubber. Weight wise, they're about the same, quite close to tenergies too.

Great great explanation guys!!:) Simply brilliant!!. Interesting point you brought up there Matt. It made me think, and I believe that there are some truth in what you said:). Nice... And Carl, super find on the Xiom rubbers. All is very clear now. Like you said, a minuscule change on the...

Thanx Carl...those are very good explanations. I forgot to include the size and density of the pips, but you're kind enough to include it. :) Very helpful....

Hi Matt, it is a great video!!! You and Yosua do think alike. Coz Yosua posted the same video 18hours earlier. :) Such a good video, I don't mind seeing it again. Like on Yosua's thread, I said it reminded me of the movie "Balls Of Fury"...

I have a question which was asked by one of my mates that I could not answer. So, I'm wondering if you guys can give me your opinion. As you all know, the sponges that comes at the back of the rubbers (inverted & pips) have different properties. Some have higher density, harder and some are...

The other guy is so tall that the table was at his knee!!! :)

The video reminded me the movie Balls Of Fury:)

Yeah Dici, it would be interesting to see how they square up in a big pro tour like this. I think it's a great opportunity for them to prove themselves, and to the senior nationals. With China ladies being so dominant, do you think they can be considered as underdogs? Even if it's the 2nd team?

No way I would've guessed that one Yosua!!:P hahahahaha Nicely done!!

Yeah, you're quite right Anders:)....I love watching him play. So much experience, and he's not going to roll over and play dead. :)

Yeah Carl, given any other day, I would've said Wang Liqin hands down..but unfortunately he never got the big ones (world cup and olympics). If he did, I would say he was the greatest in the world of all time.:) In 2001, he won the singles and doubles (with Yan Sen), and in 2005 & 2007 he won...

You bet Matt. It's ridiculous to see how far Wang Hao stood and yet the coach could still block push his shots back to him. Stand closer, and you won't have the time to react to each block. Interesting to see the way Guoliang blocking as if a penholder blocks. He has a shallow grip, and rotated...

Great Idea CTTC. Also, I think it would be good too to have an ITTF link to the main draw of each pro tour, so we may access to the updated results, draw and schedule for each round when watching the live streaming.

I think Ma Lin ang LGL. These two are just exceptional.
