No worries Wiwa, I am happy to do it. I love it when he said that his Chinese is only limited to ordering a peking duck at a restaurant...that was funny I thought.:D

No problem Dici, pleasure is all mine. At least some of the non-german reader can have a little insight of his book and his thoughts. :D

aaahhhh, the "choing"...to cho or not to cho. I'm cool with it, especially after a great point, a winner. Personally, I don't do it, but if the opponents do, I really don't mind. But having said that, excessive "choing" after every single point does get on my nerves sometimes.:D But the way Liu...

Hahahaha you crack me up Michal. The way I see it, if ZJK is to go out, it has to be in the earlier rounds. The further he goes in the tourney, the better he gets. He always seemed to peak at the right time. As much as I dislikes his guts, I must admit..he is good. ;)

As the Guvnor requested, I am happy to post an interview with Timo Boll. The interview was done by Xiegong Fischer during the launch of his book "My China - A journey into the wonderland of table tennis China" or in German, "Mein China: Eine Reise ins Wunderland des Tischtennis". Photo by...

Here is the interview with Timo at the launch of the book in English. The interview was done by Xiegong Fischer. DW-WORLD.DE: How did the idea to write this book? The idea was originated by a publishing house employee who is very enthusiastic table tennis and table tennis necessarily a book...

The clipper blades has been around for 40 years. The oldest is the wood version. I still think with wood, they provide better dwell time...hence better for looping with max spins (depends on the rubber of course). The WRB system accelerates the blade face enabling faster returns, more power...

Now...that's what I call trophies!! It's great to see that the US Forces are doing their bit part in promoting TT to other fellow Americans. I just managed to figure out which one is you..hahaha BTW, congratulations buddy. Hope to see more tournaments in the future. Just a thought, why don't...

Yup, gonna turn in now. I had a training session from 9.30pm-2am. I had my shower but I couldn't switch off my brain. Couldn't sleep. It's always the case whenever I have an evening sessions. The hall doesn't close until every single one of us is knackered, besides, I am the one holding the...

Hey Guvnor...you are doing a tremendously good job. I for one appreciate what you are doing in making this site an excellent one. It's 4.35am here, and I'm infront of the laptop writing this. It says a lot about the quality of the site buddy. Thanx to you....:o

Well buddy, you did ask our opinion and suggestion for an OFF+ blade....hehehe:D Optimum Sync is not OFF+ buddy, that's why none of us suggested it. You know what I think, just my personal opinion..if I were to use an OFF- blade, and in order to exert pace to the ball, obviously I have to hit...

Super!! I never in my wildest dream thought about these things. Simply amazing! The wierdest I ever played with is still a bat, but an old rotten TT bat..

hahahha I know what you mean buddy. I don't think my knees would be able to take the punishment of abrupt twists and turns any more...we are no Kreanga or JM Saive.

So, when is your birthday buddy?? I heard in the grapevine that the Guvnor Dan will be organizing a competition with the blade as the prize...hahahaha

I understand where you are coming from Carl. Unlike the bid 3 sports in the US, where they are run as big company or business, TT does not stand a chance. Years ago, soccer was going into oblivion. But look at it now. The MLS has grown and still growing. It would be nice IF the US government...

hahahahaha NIce one buddy!!!

Though I maybe in south east asia, I am backing this idea. It will be good for TT world. I believe different country have a different school of thought of how TT should be played, and styles. And like Matt said, I mean WHY SHOULDN'T IT BE IN NEW ZEALAND??!! hahahaha I'm all for it buddy!!

My advice Scorpnox, listen to Carl. When it comes to equipment, especially blades and their characteristics, he's the man.

And Rhonis, you forgot to add this. Six months after the tournament, after they beat you...they won't remember your name or how you looked like or how you played...BUT THEY WILL CERTAINLY REMEMBER THAT FUNKY SHOES!!! hahaha Just kidding mate. Honestly, it does look nice. I use yonex myself.

Whoooaaa....that's a long long long documentary, fit for discovery channel. hehehehe Yeah, it would be interesting to know what his feelings and thoughts about his performance and TT in general.
