Just look at WLQ now...he's competing lesser and lesser, and yet he is only 33 years old. I European standard, that's still young:)

You are so right TTM. :) I read it when it was posted, but never got around of putting my comments. Reminds me of my coach Li Ju Fung, who happens to be his senior in the Chinese national team. But Li was never this good in describing tactics. Or Li was better or as good, but I was an idiot who...

Wiwa, this is one of the best interviews I've read...I even dare to say the best on TTD.:) Liu has so much insight on strategies that puts some military strategies to shame. I remember while during the 21 points era, I had trouble remembering the serves from my opponents. Back then, serves and...

Matt :), you did it mate!! This is gonna be one of those threads that will be read, digested, commented, buried, dug up again and the whole thing will be repeated. hahaha Like most said, they're from different eras, but we do like to do these sort of comparisons all the time, don't we??:) Pele...

Hi pingponger:) welcome to site buddy. About the rubbers, I must admit that I don't know much about Skyline3 Neo, but I do know about Mendo :) Mendo Energy is the softest of all the Mendo family, but it was developed prior the speed glue ban. Why don't you give Boosts TS or TC a try. They're...

You're so right Rhydian, going to the table is the best way. :) Normally, I would tell the youngsters to forget about the styles that the pros use. Toss the ball (not too high) and serve plainly without the complicating the serves with the different styles. My real advice is to serve as if...

Hi Knuckle Ball:) Honestly doing a nospin on the BH can be tricky. Usually the underspin is done with a little side, but some may do pure underspins. My FH nospin serve is actually a slight push (forward motion upon impact) with the downward motion after impact. The reason I hit on top of the...

Hi Steve, First of all, let me say it's quite a decent equipment you got there. The set up is rather slow, so I think that you're more of a control type of player. I always like Tackiness from Butterfly, but they're quite dear nowadays. Have you ever tried anti-spins for your BH? Since you...

That is so true el gato:) I guess in tennis the court is a whole lot bigger. You need rackets like the Hammer series from Wilson to hit the ball deep, and probably lower tension on the strings. But not so much in TT I guess. Slower blades and load it with lots of spin usually for the...

Reminds me of the black guy in the movie Police Academy:)

I just viewed your blog, and I can tell it's fairly new. It's a start mate...you'll get better at it as time goes by. Photos, videos will always make it more interesting, but I am sure you haven't got around it yet. I've bookmarked your blog page ( Matt's and Sarah's too) :) and will certainly...

Welcome on board Alex. I hope you'll have a good time here. :) I look forward to your posts.

Hahahaha I like the sequence of packing your TT equipment. R.I.P TT equipment. Till next time:) I also like the sequence when the TTD package was dumped on top of you ahahaa hilarious!! You can be an actor mate! Good luck for your exams buddy. TT will always be there when you get back. Until...

HI Judah, I know it's a difficult transition. It takes time. I use a very hard rubber on my FH, Calibra LT Plus. Usually with the harder rubbers, the spin effect is lesser than the softer rubbers, but you do get pace. Spinning the ball, helps the ball do drop faster on the other side of the...

Now that you're here, I hope to see more of you buddy. Tell us more about Marcos younger days. :)

After his great showing at the Slovenian Open, I think Tokic is on a roll. Like Matt, I've jumped onto the Tokic bandwagon. :)

Thanx Gabriel. I also took the initiative to check tabletennista, and your thoughts was spot on. It'll be interesting to know whether they would compete in the Kuwait Open after Qatar. Shame about Timo. A bit worrying because though he might be fit to compete in the Olympics, but he might not...

Hi Ionas...welcome to the forum:) Your game is quite similar to mine, mid table. I've been using stiga equipment for a very long time, and I have to say they're top notch. I have an Ebenholz VII, though I don't use it often, it's really good offensive blade. I think you need it to get the most...

But Novak played for 5 hours and has more cash for his win:)

First of all, let me salute you for your spirit and determination. I've slammed myself into walls so many times that I have lost count,but never to the extend of breaking my arm.:) The Stig was quite right saying by getting the approval from the umpire. An ITTF umpire should be well versed on...
