Ah ok, well don't worry, I am from VA/NC, so thats pretty far from Texas, and I don't really have any desire to go to a state like Texas.... I am trying to start a team at William & Mary. Virginia Tech which is close is supposed to have a really good team, because they have tons of asians...

Hey, Where in the US do you play at? I watched the videos you put up, and it looked like you were pretty good, and the players you played seemed pretty good also. I have been trying to start a club at my college that actually travels around the area playing other schools.

I don't think its so much that the Chinese players are experimenting with blades regularly, or that they do it to get an advantage on other players. Frankly they already beat players without resorting to that tactic, and that tactic can also backfire, because your own game can be negatively...

I mean I did specify that it was only for the particular robot that they had at the club. The good robots are programmable, yes, but those tend to be pretty expensive, and out of the price range of your normal play for fun player.

I was at a Chinese table tennis training center/club, and the teachers actually said that it wasn't that good to train using the robot. At least the one that they had at the club shot balls too fast, and therefore for all but the top players, it made it so fast that it ruined your form and...

"How would you make the sport of Table Tennis more media friendly and exciting to the public" In terms of the sport itself, I think it already is quite action packed, especially since now games are played to 11. I think what is really needed more to make table tennis more popular is a...

Hmm this is such a hard question, not sure there is really a real answer.... I am mainly a shakehand player myself, but I will play some penhold every once in a while for fun, and I still can beat almost the same people with it as I do with shakehand. And I probably honestly have the best rpb of...

nah, I am not arguing that penhold is better than shakehand, but the shakehand definitely doesn't have the advantage that you are arguing. Of course you don't see many people using the rpb that Wang Hao uses, it is still relatively a new technique, wait like another 3-4 years, and you will see a...

yeah, the singles world championships are played every other year, with the world team championships are played in between. I don't think having it every year will really raise the attention that table tennis gets. I mean there are plenty of sports that have world championships every year, but...

haha thats pretty impressive. When you are older, and no longer have the athletic ability, you gotta rely on your brains, which he does very well. He still thrives pretty well using his pips out penhold style, even though its kind of an obsolete style nowadays

To be fair, thus far this year, even though his play doesn't look like it was before, he still has beaten everyone except the Chinese players, and even won one of the tournaments. I actually think he will be better with this new style. Before he was pushing the speed so much that it was hard for...

Definitely Wang Liqin. No Question. His doiminance during the early 2000s, his calm and humble demeanor, his integrity. And frankly if we are talking also about athletic skill, WLQ has kept himself at a level of fitness, that you really haven't seen in other players. He has trained really hard...

Dang, this is quite a surprise..... Chen must really have been practicing a lot. For an chopper, his offensive is pretty good. I haven't always really liked him, because his attitude is kind of wrong, and his movement is so not fluid.... but he still obviously is an effective player. I remember...

I don't know, I think Ma Ling would have actually won, if he had gotten through to the final. The two have played 12 times in the past 4 years, and Ma Lin has won 9 times. That is a 75% win rate, better than just about anyone against Wang Hao. Ma Lin is just a better short game controller than...

ROFL Kimo knows what i am talking about

much younger.... so?????? haha jk don't you know that jailbait is like super worth it? haha XP

The Chinese coaches should know better? I don't agree with that. The Chinese players train the most of any country, and they put a lot of work on their serves, and its why they are able to walk the line between what is legal and what is not the best, and why they have generally the best serves...

I don't get what you are saying.... you seem to be saying that it is forbidden because the throw is vertical? If that is what you are saying, then I think you are missing what I was saying, and just don't get what the rule says in general. The rules say the throw should be mostly vertical. There...

Ok yeah for the olympics, but no to the WTTC. The WTTC is every 2 years, and its on the odd year, so there wasn't even a wttc in 2006. Wang Liqin won in 2001, Shlager won in 2003, and then 2005 and 2007 was Wang Liqin again

Yeah, those girls who do play table tennis, a good proportion of them do seem pretty decent looking. But i would have to agree with mullywully, for the general public who aren't interested in table tennis, its definitely a turn off, because its not only of those "athletic sports" As for finding...
