Zeio, sorry but still don't get it: "the preparatory working group for the transition to the 9th committee of the CTTA ... ?? It does not mean anything ... It's like they want him back but can not admit it ??? : )

So Liu Guoliang, is back on coaching or not? "... the preparatory working group for the 9th session ..." - what the heck is that? : )

I myself never proposed any money, just beverages from time to time. Actually I like the whiskey idea ... ; ) @Tropical, I absolutely agree that what you described sounds like a bullying tactics of those people, no question about it. @Brs, in case of a stronger/weaker player I guess playing...

Nice co-pay chart Der, I think it might be quite a fun to use it one day. @Tropical, I understand your view, but imagine this one specific situation, and I'm not talking about irritating people who would, as you well put it, dare or challenge you using money. Say we regulary go to this club...

For the record I said "Critical" ; ) but it's a stretch Zeio, I agree.

Zeio you tend to be quite critical about the US are you? ; ) I always thought South Asia region was quite big on gambling ... ?

I've seen this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjNwj7MnUoA Interesting character he was ...

Ah, I see ... so it is that someone already lost, sort of an official match, and wants to play for monnney now ..... : )) I think I got your point. If it's not in the context of training and a post practice "beer sharing experience", but just to show who is better ... than yes, I think you...

Maybe, once or twice, you could accept the challenge from those people, so they wouldn't have the argument that you are "afraid to lose" ... it's 2 bucks total ... ; )

Sure no problem. You want to enjoy the game - I can see that. As I said it works for me, but it has to be like at the end of a training session and for stuff like soda or beer ... just for fun.

To be clear, boasting and laughing at your opponents just shows you are not a true sport person (I'm not talking about teasing each other which is for fun and ... a little motivation ; ) Even in individual sports like table tennis if you want to become better you need good opponents - simple as...

I agree. I mean I'm the one who likes to fool around in our club and sometimes (specially when playing a weaker player) I tend to tease him/her and suggest some betting. As a rule the bet is never worth more than a can of coke or something like that. To be fair I offer them few free points -...

Thanks. I was hoping for somebody to reply. After I posted it, I checked ttbl.de and couldn't find Apolonia ... this is going to be that "all new" Japan super league - right?

Great trouble causing event! Pictures worth a thousand words ; ) Surprised Apolonia had time to travel, wasn't he playing Bundesliga this week? The more I watch those pics the more I'm eager to compete with Der ... maybe we should organize a TTD's World Tour events ... ; )

Totally agree. They would only need to place cameras on both ends of the net clamps and the rest of the technology is there - even automatic.

Yeah, she plays spectacular with those short pips. She had a good run in Olomouc few years ago I think.

Der, you'll have to give me some time to write you an analysis - and this is an ambition of mine : ) I mean ML was always known for his fh power, but when I watched again his matchup with HT, he didn't use too much of it. My thoughts are, it has something to do with Wang Hao's tactics against...

I don't want to turn this into a therapeutic session ... : ) but I guess my tt skillset is about the same for the last 2-3 years. Ok we play twice a week, but without practicing ... well, you can imagine there's no big progress, if at all. But this is not only me, my other friend playing defense...

Guys but we are worrying here that a certain style might be favored or not, maybe we'll be more aggressive who knows, and we have a headache. But just to gain some perspective, this is still nothing compared to what the guys like i.e. Victor Barna or Marty Reisman have experienced. They did love...

No, not really, not even my friend who has middle pips on the bh side, just uses those to push you away and as soon as he does, he turns around for a plain, off the bounce forehand blow away. So you might say his style is perfect for the abs'es ... But the pros are a different story, of course...
