Noted, but because of one casualty where most probably the direct cause of his own negligence, the table tennis world should made to pay for it. I mean, if you're playing doubles and accidentally hit your doubles partner on the head while trying to retrieve a ball, and your partner died because...

Ridiculous ruling is all I can say..it's as if we are all a bunch of glue sniffer. As long as gluing are done at a well ventilated are, I should think it is perfectly fine. Certain rubbers smell differently after awhile, maybe they're gonna ban that as well? In case there are rubber sniffers...

Yup, seen it ages ago, Liu made it look ridiculously easy. PPP, where have you been mate? Seems you disappeared from radar a few months...

I lile my love handles.... :) Jokes aside, flared works best for me. To me, it's just what you are comfortable with.

This is right up your alley Yosua, except it's penhold chopper...Zhang Xielin!

Basically, as the server, we should dictate the receiver on where or how the ball is returned to us. Thus, this maximize our chances to attack an gain points. Because, at advance level, we must know that all of our serves will be returned to us. We must avoid 2nd ball attack and putting us on...

It's true what Carl said. Unfortunately, as I get a little older now, the first thing to go is my footwork. It's just not as it use to be. A lot of it is because the excruciating pain in my left knees, which means I can't push off to get back on the table. Whenever I do the inside out forehand...

I want the world team to win, just because they are the under dogs.

Actually I noticed this for quite a while now. It's different compared to tennis and badminton. The players always give a proper handshake. When Roger or Rafael loses, they would always shake the hands of their conqueror and they would always say a few good words. Even badminton world number 1...

My advice, if you have a loopy BRP, use a softer sponge with a high throw..and if you have a more aggressive BRP, use a tad harder sponge with a lower throw. Well, that's my 2cents worth...

I use Xiom Vega Pro, and I have to say it's exceptional. It's a good rubber, but since I use Boost TP on my FH, it's 2 notch slower. The good thing about it is that it's very forgiving, and quite durable. You may stand far from the table, & hit a high looping topspin, and 9 times out of 10, the...

Bouncy is probably of your blade, and makes it difficult for you play a chop or soft push. Boosts have a low throw, looping needs a lot of feel. Otherwise the ball will dirft over the baseline, maybe calibra will suit you. But my advice is to wait for calibra spin that will be launched soon...

Hi lemonhan, go have a look some more :) It's always good to have our friends from China. Welcome buddy...

I can't really say I was disappointed then Yosua. The funny thing, at 16 I have this I don't care attitude, regardless what the coach said to me. But looking back now, it was indeed embarrassing, because for the next two years I still bumped into the other player in tournaments, but I was much...

It's Atari!! It was donkey years ago...

Hi Stefano, as much as we would like to help, you didn't mention what type of blade you are currently using. It'll help creating a mental image of your game type...:)

Tell me about it buddy, you're speechless now, I was speechless 26yrs ago when I got thrown out of the tournament. My coach was not speechless at all..he was fuming, and I really got an earful..hehehe

Rhydian...that's a major hurdle for you, it's like getting approval from the sponsors, except it's 10 times harder. hahahaha good luck. BTW, excellent choice of rubbers. Hopefully, your blade won't act as if it was possessed anymore since she's getting new rubbers!! hehehe

Cheers Anders, well its decided then...I'm changing to calibra LT sound (confirmed) for BH and Boosts TP/TX (haven't decided for this yet). I'll be trying out TX this weekend, on my club mate's blade. Not playing this week, since I just finished a 3day tournament over the weekend. It was a team...

There was this 16year old kid playing in the semi finals at the nationals. He got through all the earlier rounds relatively easy. And in the semis he met his nemesis (a 20yr old national player then), and probably he put too much pressure on himself that day, everything that he did, did not come...
