  1. Timo Boll Illegal Serve

    I think what the rule means is that, the minute when you release the ball from your palm to toss the ball, it must be behind the end line. Resting the ball on your palm with your palm on the table s perfectly legal. Basically what I am saying is that, it's illegal to start tossing the ball from...
  2. Pips in V/S pips out

    I have to agree with Yosua on this. Pips out players are just one of the variety in TT sports today. Some of their techniques are quirky, but we often find problems facing these unorthodox players. So why not seek out these players and practice against them. It will improve your overall footwork...
  3. Guo Yue Interview - Professional Player (World Rank 1)

    Carl is absolutely right, the number of pros in China is probably the same with the entire of Europe. Bigger pool of players means more varieties.. Also in China some of them train old school, and the coaches are a lot more strict. I used to get knock on the head many times coz I wasn't...
  4. High Scoring Ends !

    During the 21 games, I lost 36-34 in a nationals..back in 1986. Ever since the 11 games were introduced, the highest it ever went was 17-15.
  5. Table Tennis Camps

    I can't agree more with Belisar. Some players tend to play with someone whom playing styles they are familiar with. I would say, go and seek out players whom you have problems playing against. If you have issues with long pips and anti, look out for these players and train with them..that's what...
  6. Table Tennis Camps

    Sure buddy. As you know it was donkey years ago when the rules were different. But I'll try best to recall some of the trainings and their schedules. Mornings usually we do fitness, and it started at about 7am..like jogging and 15 metres sprints. We also do running up the grand stands of the...

    But not all pips out rubbers are defensive...some are more lethal than pips in rubbers.

  13. Table Tennis with or without commentator?

    I know what you mean Carl, somehow it made us sitting at the edge of our seats, doesn't it? It's the excitement of the commentators that made a dull match interesting. Bollforte was right, Richard Prause is one heck of commentator. Great video buddy...thanx.
  14. What has become of us..sigh!

    We should take a good hard look at this clip. It's the saddest thing that I had ever seen. My wife actually cried. It was uploaded on youtube 13 hours ago. The incident happened at a market in China I think. The 1st driver didn't know what he hit, but 18 passer by just ignored the poor little...
