  1. Fred - The first 3 Years.

    Tennis and Table Tennis? That's gonna be kind of though. I used to pay both, and every time I move from one to the other, it really f***s with my muscle memory. Sometimes it even messes with my ability to strategize and react to shots. I have on more than one occasion come from playing TT to...
  2. If you could improve one thing in your TT what would it be?

    It's not that I'm not fit. It's just that fitness is so hard to maintain. Granted fitness, I would be happy to work on everything else all I wanted, and it would be enjoyable. Unfortunately, I developed asthma relatively late in life, and it just really sucks. In addition, on occasion my knees...
  3. Playing Shirts

    I wanted one of those too, but last I saw they were like $80+ USD on eBay. > .>
  4. Fred - The first 3 Years.

    Just curious, is your son a natural lefty?
  5. Ma long Rubbers?

    DHS H3 Neo is what I've heard, though he doesn't use the blue sponge version.
  6. Is Kenta starting to find his form after the Hungarian Open 2010?

    Everyone seems to think Kenta's rating was bloated and it appropriately dropped a ton, and now he's finally climbing back up. I think sure it may have been slightly bloated, but we do have to remember that he jumped up, then continued to climb for a while, which means it wasn't just one random...
  7. Fred - The first 3 Years.

    Looks great! Maybe it's time to start giving him real drills. ;)
  8. Spin art

    Spin Art is heavy for a Euro/Jap rubber, but not nearly as heavy as chinese rubbers, like DHS hurricane. It has a tackyish top sheet, that is NOT sticky. Kind of like provincial hurricane. Spin Art feels kind of like tuned up Hurricane, but not quite. It is a spinny rubber, but has no where near...
  9. would waldner of been as successful now?

    I think the answer is the talent is probably there. You could always ask questions like, "Would Timo be world no1 if he was trained in the Chinese style?" etc. The world will never know, but we all know J.O. had the mental game for winning, and the talent, so he would definitely have been a...
  10. Dimitrij Ovtcharov being banned for 2 years from doping.... your thoughts on this?

    They don't. That is why it was so silly. Clen is for losing weight, does Ovtcharov look like he needs to lose weight? I don't think so. I think clenbuterol also has some other effects too thought, it is banned in many sports. And it is banned even for medical use in the USA. You could look up...
  11. Do you like this forum? POLL

    The layout and appearance is very nice!
  12. best player

    I gave Ryu a vote because, 1 Kim Taek Soo is awesome, but he never won anything and Ryu is his student who got the gold at Athens 2004. I've watched a few amazing jpenners close up (2550+ USATT) and it is just amazing that they can keep up with only their forehand loop. Sure it's not that they...
  13. Evidence the Pro's are boosting!

    Just look at the occasional DQ of random players, like WLQ at Qatar (or was it Kuwait). Sponges don't become too thick for no reason. ;)
  14. Wang Hao Wins 45.000 US Dollars

    Oh, and I think he deserves more money. Tennis players win millions. TT__TT
  15. Wang Hao Wins 45.000 US Dollars

    Meh, it's cuz table tennis isn't promoted properly around the world, and the ITTF seems to always be focusing on the wrong things rather than improving our image. Rule changes never help people get interested. Have you ever walked into a recreational sport area and find people shocked to hear...
  16. How to return a difficult serve

    The advice I've been given in the past (very general) is that atleast once you've decided what you THINK it is, just return it as if it were that, because it's better than giving a half assed return that might go out, or will probably just set the opponent up anyways. Decided and commit. :D
  17. Dimitrij Ovtcharov being banned for 2 years from doping.... your thoughts on this?

    The cyclist guy in spain claimed to have gotten it from meat in spain, where clen is never found in the meat. Ovtcharov claiming to having gotten it from China was a much more likely story.
  18. To be a world class player......

    I have a friend from China who claims the Chinese style is best first off, and that's what seperates them. Second is being exposed and allowed to practice with the best continously. For one, Boll has trained with the Chinese National Team in the past, and surely that helped him. My friend went...
  19. Whose the best player you've ever played against?

    I've played Timothy Wang, 2500+ USATT, and Mark Hazinski, 2580+ USATT, (both US players) in open tournaments. Of course they destroyed me easily. Here's some video I've uploaded of Timmy playing Jose Barbosa (Brazilian Jr. National Team): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5cXVkeWi_Q and Mark and...
  20. Timo Boll Spirit

    NOT TRUE! Michael Maze is usually faster than the TBS, unless you've got a weird set. Viscaria is also faster, but just slightly. The Maze is slightly harder as well, but just slightly. The maze is faster than the TBS and the Viscaria, but has got almost the same feel as the TBS.
