RIP Buy du. In case some of the younger players who may not know who this Dutch master is, here are some facts about him. Cor du Buy ( Amsterdam , 8 January 1921 - Dublin , 11 November 2011 ) was a Dutch table tennis . He was nine times Dutch champion in singles, eight in the men's doubles and...

As to answer your question buddy, if Stiga is your choice of weapon, another that you should try is the extremely light Optimum plus (as used by Li Xiaoxia). It's a tad faster than Clipper WRB. The Clipper WRB is more of an allround blade that offers a bit more zip in your offensive game. The...

My favourite has to be Stiga Optimum. They're pretty consistent and quite durable. Next in line has to be Nittaku. Exceptional quality.. Yosua, thx reviving the thread. More please.....:)

First of all, congratulations!!! For all it's worth, Ding Ning had some trouble reading your BH topspin serve. Nice one. It was indeed a huge match, and I know every time we go into these kind of match (being the clear underdog), we must be able to think positively and assure ourselves that we...

Dunlop produce Barna bats, still. But it's only for recreational play. But if you want the genuine article, you may go to : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-DUNLOP-BARNA-TABLE-TENNIS-BAT-ORIGINAL-CASE-/330593067722 or...

Yup, Carl is right. CC stands for Crystal Carbon. Carbon is the material sandwiched between the wood while the Crystal is surface finish of the blade. It provides extra hardness and also protects the surface of the blade. And like Carl, I like the the WRB more. It's an all wood blade, a classic...

Wow!! This is news to me!! Sweeeeett!!!!! Xu Xin is a bit more playful and easy to approach. Next....SIFU LIU GOLIANG! After all, he is aponsored by Stiga. hehehe You gonna need a bigger front page Dan. Nice one Dan. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better. Salute to Stiga!!!

I think it's going to be Timo's year this time. He had a good rest, he's fresh. Wang Hao had slowed down a bit and lacking in confidence, and ZJK is still not firing on all cylinders. The others are good, aside from Vladi and Jun, I don't think they have the pedigree.

I know what you mean Harry. Sometimes, the expectations is so high that a player choked at the final hurdle. It happens to the best of us.

Dude, why would you want to be on the ITTF board? There's no money there...hehehe. We should be on DHS Europe board of directors!! Money and free access to ALL equipment, plus getting involve in designing new rubbers and blades. SSWWEEEEETTTT!!!

Dan, that is so true! The Chinese may even be able to learn a thing or two from the Europeans. Can you imagine in the future, the Chinese pros will be able to be interviewed in English, German, Italian and French??!! Coaches teaching TT to the youngsters in local language?? Beautiful... And...

I agree what Michal_Z is saying. What do the Chinese get out of this? It's about sharing, that's all. The Pakistani government was willing to send coaches to China to train the Chinese cricket coaches in China, and setting up their league, for free.. What the Chinese are doing is the same too...

The Chinese had landed. In fact the Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, who is seen as the most pro-Europe leader in the Chinese Politburo, has voiced China's willingness to prop up the region's struggling economies, pledging to buy an unspecified amount of Greek government bonds during a visit...

Nice one Dan, I asked if anyone can post an old video of WLQ, and Presto!!!! Thanx very much buddy. I appreciate it!!:D

Hi it's me again, yup, you guys may also go through http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?41-if-you-are-winning-10-0....&highlight=winning+11-0 But what Matt is asking is kinda different, whether 11-0 is good or bad. Naturally, it's good for the winner, bad for the loser hehehe

I can understand what steven is saying..which is quite true. But what Dan said was true too, if it's true, the chinese should be sending a replacement. This the August ranking : 1 (<<) 2857 WANG Hao CHN 2 (<<) 2794 BOLL Timo GER 3 (<<) 2763 MA Lin CHN 4 (<<) 2747 ZHANG Jike CHN 5 (<<)...

That's true rhonis. I think the ITTF is trying to make the game a little more diverse. Maybe we will be able to see more defenders in the top 10, or even no 1.

I would let them have at least 1 point, but they have to earn it. That means by giving them a slightly weaker return, giving them the opportunity to attack and putting me on the back foot and finally winning the point. I try not to look condescending or patronizing. But I wouldn't do it at...

Hi Huysc34, I didn't see any spots, but I can clearly see that there is a bubble on the surface. My team mate uses exactly the same rubber, but in black. He doesn't have such problem. I just think that your supplier may got a bad batch from the producer. My advice, go to the supplier and change...

Welcome Stefano! Great to have you here. Looking forward to hear more of your apps buddy....
