Hmm, most of the players from the comments in the video complimented the red shirt kid, but Song is 17, and Lin is only 15. I felt Lin had a better feel for the game, his backhand is already better, his body just needs to develop a bit more. At the age of 15, his feel for the game is insane, and...

Yeah! thats what I'm talking about! I have something like 30gigs of videos of matches that Wang Liqin played from 2000-2004, basically when he was in his prime and dominating

Yeah, I mean I think most of the negative talk was only in regards to Xu Xin when he first arrived in the squad. And like they say, he has made the most improvement of any player in that period since. I probably will get around to doing the other reportage sometime or another, right now I am...

Man, I wish I had the chance to play some really really good players. I have played a couple of 2000 players only, and I reached the 5th game in a best of 5 with both of them. For most of my life I have only really played against players who were either as good or worse than me, and thats not...

Ok Here is a rough translation. It took a while nevertheless so you guys better be happy: Announcer: Who is Liu Guoliang imitating? Who is Qing ZiJian talking about? Who are they praising? Who will probably become the next star of the Chinese National Team? It is Xu Xin. 2009 April 28th, before...

I mean you say it is too weak, but in actuality, its at least decent, and plus he is so fast and has such good footwork that even despite its weakness its not even really that big of a detriment to his game, because he is able to step over to his forehand for most of the shots. And his forehand...

Actually I think I will change my vote from Ma Long to Xu Xin. I don't even know if they will choose him to represent China, since they now only allow two players from each country, but when I really consider it, Chinese training has really reached a level where they have perfected it down to a...

oh man, isn't there any players from the US on here?!?!??!

In terms of looping, unless you have the opportunity to actually do multiball training, which I think most people don't have, since they aren't at some academy, or don't really have someone who is really good or willing to just stand there and hit you balls, I think the best alternative is just...

Hey everyone, I thought I would just start a thread to get to know and see if there were any table tennis players around my area. In undergrad I help start a table tennis club at my school UNC. And every semester there was a small regional table tennis tournament, and schools like Campbell...

I want these Training DVD's from TableTennisMaster because I think I am stuck at a plateau, where my skill is really good from just playing a decent amount, but in order to move to a higher level it would actually require true training, and not just skill that you accumulate just from playing a...

yeah I mean ultimately its useless to compare, because each generation has different playstyles and different equipment, though I do agree that as a sport develops it progresses, such that players now are way better than players before, both because their equipment is better but also because...

The question we really have to ask is, I assume, that just about everyone in this thread is male, would you want a gf who was so good at table tennis that she could beat you? haha when I was like 16, and on a trip to China, I almost lost to a girl who was like 12.... feels bad man.... haha I...

man, China has their training methods now down to an exact science. Every 2-3 years they are going to have a new crop of insanely good players. The problem is, when you have THAT much talent, it's going to be insanely hard to standout. The Chinese national team is already having problems with...

can we have a redo, since instead of spelling my name scylla24 correctly, it was spelled scytha24? unless there happens to be someone named scytha24 on here..... haha jk

I don't quite get why everyone thinks Ai Fukahara is so "attractive" I mean I might say she is kind of cute, in the sense that she seems like really small. But thats more of a cute little kid/doll as opposed to cute in an arousing attractive way.... haha anyway i don't want to anger anyone, but...

haha thanks for totally agreeing atomic chaos.... and congrats on winning the paddle blade. I made it out of the first round at least.... haha but yeah, that's exactly why its hard to foresee any country really providing a honest threat to China in table tennis. China has refined its degree of...

Yeah I would have to agree with Shaolin TT, I mean everyone goes on about Waldner being the evergreen tree, but in reality, most of the Chinese players would be able to do the same thing, except because China always gets an insane amount of new young talent, they don't need to do that. I mean...

To be honest its really hard to judge from these random victories. There are so many people in China playing table tennis that we have no idea who will ultimately make it onto the national team for China. I mean when Jun Mizutani first came out, we thought he might be the answer to Chinese...

rofl wow.... I suck at playing hardbat, and I also suck playing against hardbat. The lack of spin forces you to change your swings, and hence your entire play style.
