Speaking of backhands.... Zhou Yu (one of the chinese juniors who played recently in the WJTTC) has a monstrous away from table backhand. Just watch his match against Yoshida Masaki... and Song Hongyuan too.

I heard he didn't start paying seriously until he was 17... that is pretty freaking late. I find it hard to believe.

I watched the highlights video, and for some reason this point wasn't in there. I'm so confused.

Timo played very well. Ma Lin also played subpar. Result? 4-1 defeat. Congratulations to Timo, too bad it wasn't the world championships. XD On the other hand, Mizutani seems to have been kinda... down... since the World Cup... He played so well there, then played poorly at Asia Games... and...

And the winner is ......... *drum roll* ............

I think he has a shot against Timo, he always puts up a fight in that matchup. But against Ma Lin.... I really don't think Mizutani has any chance if Ma Lin is playing even subpar. His best bet would be for Samsonov to take out Ma Lin, which I think is more likely than Mizutani doing so, but...

For those of you all interested, these are some matchs I filmed a while back. In HD, Timmy (USATT 2511) vs Jose (USATT 2526), semi-final match. In poor quality... Mark (USATT 2567) vs Timmy (USATT 2511), finals.

Is it just me, or did those guys look like they were playing in a well lit warehouse ... presumably by some pier... But awesome video, nice quality and points. :D

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! yeah. seriously, do it. just plan something amazing. actually, i was gonna make a post about spectacular pairs and what people thought.... but now i guess i could just ask here... What do you people think about spectacular pairs? maybe a show like that could get you...

I was rooting for Chuang..... too bad he already lost. :P Also, kind of shocked that Feng Tianwei lost already... I guess her performance isn't that consistent...

Too eager.... the momentum totally turned against him... and he just fell apart. That's how it looked to me. :P It was a shame really, you could tell it stuck with him for the rest of the match. (Or atleast I felt that way.)

I myself am a Djokovic fan. So I root for Djokovic. Ever since Federer won those two "easy" Grand Slams when Nadal was out, I've kind of been done with him. He even had that freaking "15" jacket pre-made, though who knows how long he's been waiting to wear it. After that Wimbledon marathon...

I remember her in the Killerspin video where she beat Biba. ha ha ha... Didn't know she was a model. They also feature her in the Spin NYC video.. playing in high heels I believe.

Okay, I'm going to just give some personal experience with other rating systems. I myself am about a USATT 1500 player. I have met a French 1500 rated player, and after playing in some tournaments, is rated about USATT 1800. I watched him almost defeat a USATT 2100 +/- 50 chopper, but he just...

I was under the impression that stone tables were common in European parks. Maybe my friend just happened across the a rarity. :P Stone tables are common place in China though, I believe.

Yeah, I've been reading up on it too. As you can see below, I use H3 Neo... and I've read that anyone using H3 will love Thor's. Got to resist urge to buy... oh wait, just kidding, I can't afford it. :D

A worthy effort from Kenta!

An occasional "Cho!" after an exciting point or a clean shot is my choice of action. I don't think it is bad sportsmanship if you keep it to a reasonable amount. Fist pumps in tennis are not thought of as bad sportsmanship, what's wrong with celebrating? However, there are people who stare the...

OMG! Matches are finally up? I've been reading about them on ITTF with nothing to watch. It was quite agonizing.

I would translate for you but it got cut off. The last thing that was said was that "In the middle of competition, it was not that important...." and then the video cut-off. Judging by the way he held his paddle after he was done celebrating, the match was not over.
