I would say I generally dislike, Christian Suss, Michael Maze, Chen Weixing, Dimitri Octarchov. They all seem to react badly when they lose a point. Maze in particular has some of the worst sportsmanship I have ever seen. I would also have to agree with Hao Shuai, now necessarily because he...

There is just something beautiful about the Double Happiness three star ball.... Good logo design, and a really high quality ball.

Hell yea! Starcraft rocks. I am busy with school, so I have only played Starcraft 2 one time, but I still watch random replays at times on youtube. I want Diablo 3 to come out!

Like the last thread about this world ranking, yes Boll has several chinese players who generally beat him when they play, but the problem is, those same chinese players lose to each other. So even if boll never wins a final, he still has a good chance to lead the rankings, because the chinese...

Yeah, that was what I was talking about in the Boll is number 1 ranking thread. The skill levels of all the Chinese players are now so high, that on any given day, they can beat each other. It just depends on who is lucky, who is feeling better on which day. It makes it hard for any of the...

Hmmm, well the outcome was not what I expected, since I thought Wang Hao would win, at least I predicted that if ZJK did face Boll in the finals, he would win. Probably almost everyone else in this thread would have thought Boll would win. It must be kind of depressing for Boll, to lose two...

The Semis are set, with Boll vs Ma Lin and ZJK vs Wang Hao. Normally I would bet on Ma Lin beating Boll. But supposedly Ma Lin has a hurt back, so I doubt he is 100 percent. With that being the case I wouldn't be surprised if Boll made it to the finals. If ZJK beats Wang Hao, I think it will...

Yeah I guess that's true, in those cases where its not too far wide to the forehand, I prefer to do a shift/hop to the side, its like sliding to side to side, except you move both feet at the same time, I find that that helps produce more power because your entire body is shifting during the...

Yeah its definitely something only to use in particular situations where you are forced into it. I mean ideally you can estimate where your opponent hits the ball to so you are in the correct position. It's only when you are forced into the situation where you really have to reach for a far...

Yeah that much concentration, and that fast movement and it being continuous can definitely drain your stamina really quickly. I try to go to the gym everyday and run at least a mile and a half, so I am in pretty decent shape so I might be able to do it at least for 15 mins. It helps that I just...

is it odd/funny to people that even after the draw came out, and after david's comment that ma long isn't participating, ma long still has gotten some votes, and remains one of the top vote getters? haha

haha its deals with how in the old days, people would bite their coinage to test its authenticity. Therefore, when you get a medal, its kind of a joke, that you bite it, as a joking sign that you are testing if its really gold.

Yeah that is insanely fast.... Doing that for like an hour probably not only makes you better at swinging, but builds up your endurance really well. What Xu Xin is doing in that video is probably too hard for most people, even at slower speeds, and probably won't help beginner players as much...

Yeah I agree with you, Chen Qi should be awarded with more chances to play since he won the tournament. Someone said Ma Lin has an injured back, so yeah, I am not sure why they are having him play at all. I also hate Hao Shuai.... his game is so like plain.... he is just really consistent, is...

Yeah, but how many times is it really crucial to have video replays? I mean other than this particular point, I can't think of any other points that have been in controversy. To have to implement a entirely new system would cost a lot of money, and effort, which isn't worth it when you consider...

Man, thats unfortunate. I would rather they replace the two with two new players who we haven't been able to see that much in international play.

Well, there were definitely some unexpected things in this tournament, but the ending result I was correct about at least. It was definitely good to see Ma Long getting closer to good form. I mean he beat Jun Mizutani 11-1 in the first game or something.... thats pretty insane, and he was able...

The fact that your parent is good at something, while doesn't necessarily mean you will be, does help though. Talent is something partially developed, and it requires a lot of hard work to realize that talent, but we can't ignore the fact that genetics play a crucial role also. A child who's...

It's unfortunate that this kind of stuff happens at times. But I would have to say that video replays would do more to hurt the sport than help. We want to be fair, but I think there are also important aspects against having replays. After this past world cup there was alot of clamor to...

man, I was definitely disappointed that Ma Lin lost to Jun. Though if he does indeed have an injury, then it might explain it. He did lose to Ryu in Qatar, despite absolutely destroying him in the tournament before that. Jun is definitely getting better at adding a little more offense in...
