One of the great strengths of choppers is that they are pretty rare. For example most choppers in the US are significantly under rated in terms of their points because when they actually get to play higher level players a lot of them haven't had a lot of opportunities to play against a really...

The few videos that show Wang Liqin working out and without his shirt are pretty impressive, he is super cut, almost like Bruce Lee. And yet he can still do splits and whatnot, and still is super fast for his size. You just have to concentrate on moderate weights with tons of repetitions, and...

Part of it is for muscle memory, but ideally it shouldn't be completely set as to where the ball goes, a lot of the multiball drills they do for the national team and probably any team is to have random balls, to test your footwork, reaction speed. While in a match the ball can theoretically go...

For me, I grew up loving watching Wang Liqin play, so I basically tried to emulate his entire game. For my backhand in particular, I tried to get the same motion, and also incorporate the short game flip that at first looks like it will go to the opponents forehand but instead at the last moment...

hahaha, my friend who is korean, had to go back to Korea to fulfill his military requirement. So he basically had to postpone college for like 3-4 years to go back and enter the military. While there he said he was assigned to the fire department, and since they have a decent amount of time on...

I couldn't imagine getting so angry in table tennis to actually assault a guy.... I mean I get annoyed when I lose, but there should be a level of control there geez. Just watching how badly some athletes react, like when zidane headbutted the guy, makes you wonder, god, these guys much have so...

If they do the WTTC bracket using the traditional method based off the rankings we see here, that would mean that Wang Hao would be at the top of the bracket, and Boll will be at the bottom. The 2 and 3 player would meet at the bottom half of the semi finals, while the 1 and 4 would meet at the...

Just based on this other picture found in another thread about the Japanese team getting ready for the world championships, it would seem like the answer is yes.

I think that really works against Ma Long because his short game is kind of mediocre by Chinese team standards. He has a lot of spin and speed, but actually not a whole lot of power, so his shots while fast aren't built to put away the opponent within 1-2 shots. Boll is really consistent and...

haha I was thinking the same thing with the squatting thing.... it looks too feminine.

I really like the official jerseys by Li Ning, which is the paramount sports attire company for China. The designs and the color schemes for the Chinese jerseys tend to be really good. I love the red gold dragon design they had for the 2008 Olympics.... so hot....

For me there are so many amazing matches out there, what makes the difference to me is how they are filmed. This one person on youtube whose account name is tabletennisphotos, has tons of videos from the world championships, world cup, qatar open that are filmed at an amazing angle that you just...

Yeah, it makes sense. There isn't really a good reason for them to focus on really anyone else, because no one else really has a good chance of beating any of the Chinese players on even close to a consistent basis. Boll can beat the elite Chinese players maybe once in 4-5 tries, where as no one...

haha, the chances that neither player in the finals is Chinese.... percentage-wise: pretty bad....

He does train both arms, but the training for his left can't possibly match the time he puts into his right. In the pic, his right arm fills up and even stretches the sleeve a little, whereas his left arm isn't close to the same size.

oh, well I just assumed that because they were big cities, and big cities tend to be more liberal, that the big cities in Texas would be a little better, but if they mostly are conservative like you say, even more reason not to like texas.... hah How do you do against the 2000+ players?

The only good tactic I can think of, is just a really good powerful spinny forehand that goes is aimed at the spot where its right between the place where they can't decide to use a forehand or a backhand. That really forces them to just block it back in which case they usually try to block it...

Clearly the amazing minds of the two 200+ posters, aside from the website creator, think alike.... hah

Ah ok, I am probably roughly the same, maybe a little higher. It really depends on who I am playing and their playstyle. I beat like 1700, and 1800s, and I can get to the 5th game in a best out of 5 with our three 2000+ players. But then there will be instances where the player I play against...

as long as your work out correctly, having more muscles doesn't have to mean you are any slower. If you aren't gaining muscles just for the sake of bulking up, then the advantages of being in shape and having muscles definitely outweigh any slight reduction on flexibility or speed. So many...
