  1. The Never Ending Tragedy - Ma Long vs Hao

    Well to be fair, Wang Hao was in really good form. I mean look at his later game against ZJK. The third game he won pretty convincingly, and the 4th game, he was winning by a lot before he lost it. Then the 5th game he won very convincingly. If he had won the 4th game as he probably should have...
  2. feels like cheating when using long pips!!

    well I find it difficult to play against players with LPs, I definitely think its a good thing to do often. Playing against players with these types of rubbers really expands your game significantly. You become a lot better at making decisions in a split second, because you are forced to adjust...
  3. China Super League (CTTSL) 2012

    haha yeah its really interesting how that is. Hao Shuai despite doing pretty mediocre against some of the top non-Chinese players, nevertheless does great against fellow Chinese players in the Super League.
  4. "Lord Zhang Jike" Table Tennis Artwork

    haha that is pretty impressive. I always wished I was super good at photoshop and the like. There are just so many different things you can do
  5. Liam Pitchford distressingly thin

    he doesn't look too bad to me, at least from the picture. Like someone said earlier, being thin is very advantageous in table tennis. You can change directions and move more quickly. I remember in the Xu Xin reportage video XX's coach one portion talks about how XX is way too fat and needs to...
  6. China Super League (CTTSL) 2012

    XX beats ZJK every once in a while, but overall even though he won here, for most of the game it looked like ZJK had the much better game and controlled a lot of the points well. He wasn't affected by XX's biggest advantage, which is his mid range looping game. ZJK was able to hit it down the...
  7. Euro vs Asia 2012 - 2nd Leg

    I am glad they let Li Ping play. Its good to see some of the not really famous Chinese players have a chance to play on an international level. Li Ping isn't really athletic or anything, but he has a very elegant game. Looks pretty similar to Kong Linghui's game. And he happens to be one of the...
  8. Euro vs Asia 2012 - 2nd Leg

    Xi Ping is Chinese. He plays for China. Not Hong Kong. He has appeared in one or two tournaments in the past in some of the big tournaments for China. Jiang tianyi is a Hong Kong player.
  9. China Super League (CTTSL) 2012

    hmmm interesting, I hope we can get a ZJK vs. Zhou Yu video up soon. In the Chinese national championships Zhou Yu beat ZJK, this time he lost. It ought to be a good match seeing two players with such good backhands play.
  10. Why does one become a chopper?

    Yeah I agree with Carl. Yes at the top, choppers tend to lose out. However, if you are not at the top, and just play amateur only even intermediate, most people just aren't very accustomed to playing choppers. Here in the US, most choppers are under rated because a whole host of people aren't...
  11. China Super League (CTTSL) 2012

    they say Ma Long on them haha, pretty cool
  12. Smartpong robots?

    yeah, some of the more fancy and expensive robots have a lot of options. For example, you can program it to give you a back spin short shot as the first hit, then afterwards it will switch to top spin shots, which mirrors the way a point would roughly play out. However, these types of robots are...
  13. Need advice on forehand rubber

    For me, I just looked at the fact that either currently, or at one time or another, just about all the top Chinese shakehand players played with hurricane neo III rubber forehand. So my line of thought was, well, might as well get that rubber, then I can no longer use the excuse of, oh well my...
  14. China National Championships 2012

    anyone have the match between Zhang Jike and Zhou Yu? They both have such amazing backhands, it would be good to see the match between them
  15. China National Championships 2012

    dang zhang jike lost to Wang liqin 3-1? interesting. On the one hand they both are power players, and ZJK in the past seemed to have more trouble playing against WLQ than some of his other Chinese compatriots, but WLQ hasn't really been playing that much international play recently, so you would...
  16. October World Rankings 2012

    haha nice, Zhou Yu appears out of nowhere and is rank 85 already. I really hope he makes additional improvements in his game and continues to get a chance to appear in international play.
  17. Chicago International TT Festival

    haha, what can you say? you can't blame them. Athletes today are all basically walking billboards for whomever sponsor them. On a side note, its kind of sad to see the older generation of Chinese table tennis greats relegated to events such as these. But, its a good chance for them to do some...
  18. LIEBHERR 2012 Men's World Cup

    wow.... wtf.... sometimes Ma Long loses to people that just leave you in shock.... For example his lose to Seiya Kisikawa last year and his loss to Chan Kazuhiro. His loss to Chuan is puzzling since they both basically have the same style. They both are great all offensive players who can...

    Dang, I wish I was in Chicago right now.... One of these days, I will get Wang Liqin's autograph....
