That reflect my initial guess as well, its either swearing, or cheering "衝" as in "往前衝" ( [chun] trans: rushing forward) "臭" as in "臭你全家三代" ( [chou] trans: Stink, stink your family all 3 generations) further research indicating a trend which changes along with time earlier on it was phonic "...

Never mind that question. Due to point spread between Players, it is best to go for 3-0 in order to gain max points, both in Expected and Upset points. Full Power ahead !

I was just discussing this issue with some tournament folks, one said instead of thinking in pwnage terms, why not give the weak player handicap points where level see fits ? Say if player A has 80% confidence level of winning, Player B starts with 8 points. That will results: 1) Stronger player...

Give it to tournament directors, Dan. I see piles of paddle palace catalog and butterfly flyers last tournament I went to, thats the direct way to reach audience. http://usatt.org/events/tournaments.shtml will give you some leads in usa. Word of mouth is also effective, I pulled 2 friends in...

spin art is really tacky but way overpriced, not to mention they are not the best choice on spin spiel. for rubbers speed and spin almost on par, Donic Coppa Jo Platin($45), Nittaku Hammond Pro ($40), or my favorite Juic 999 Turbo ($30) will perform better than butterfly's stuff. For real, do...

this is my impression of the ghost serve:

Unsportsmanship conduct like this ? Celebrating after opponent made an error ? Maybe this is why the world wants to see chinese lose, to see korean lose. Being born chinese myself, I'd cheer to see them lose too

Agree with you Ferdy. Constantly "Cho-ing" after a point is really pointless. I may be a low rated nobody but I know what sportsmanship is, and these nasty little side gestures are not my thing. After defeating opponent, shake hand, then do whatever you want afterwards. Scream on top of your...

http://www.tabletennisdb.com/dictionary/cho/ above is the only ref I can find, needless I should say that article did not explain anything. If the thing is indeed chinese oriented, I find many Chinese word with pronunciation close to cho. 球, 去, 糗, 抽, 衝(?), 仇, 臭 (swear?) None come close to...

are yal really here to discuss ......balls ?

Heavy under spin, I've practice the MaLin ghost serve for long time, able to do it one in four serves, still challenging.

Dan, about that "Chooo", many players do yell it out at point break, its really common. But I do not know what the heck it means do you know the reason.. source or history.. of it ?

hey hey watch it ! NO CYBER BULLYING !!!

You will be happy with a fast rubber on forehand, and tacky rubber on backhand, as far as blade ? lighter the better ! I started playing with the same style as you do, but with those recreation paddles from Sports Authority, which is not tacky at all and heavy to loop with; there are speed...

whats your budget range, play style, and rubber types ? oh why bother? if you are frugal enough to look for used rubber, why not get yourself some imported chinese rubbers, NEW ? some of them are really nice
