Oh and here is a video of me working on my backhand loop technique with Korbel. Can't think of many better teachers for it :D <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FITTFOceania%2Fvideos%2F1553970144626976%2F&show_text=0&width=560"...

I've been in Litovel for the past couple of days visiting my old training partner who used to live in New Zealand. Has been really great. Today I go back to Ostrava and have 4-5 more days of training before I leave to Prague and then on to Dusseldorf! :D

Dan is going to be there, I'm going too obviously :D

Celebrated my 27th Birthday today with Chiang Hung Chieh and Ai Fukuhara. Tomorrow morning I train with Korbel, this time I'll be taking my video camera ;)

Roller or slider? Answer - winner lol

Had a fantastic time at the first two legs of the extraliga finals. This was last night, real clutch victory for the team before they head for the away match tomorrow. Such a brilliant atmosphere from the spectators! <iframe...

I hope not, if there is a vote for it I will be voting against.

I'm not sure. It was raised during the ITTF AGM last year apparently and is being tested by the Swiss Table Tennis Association.

Had a great session with Felipe Olivares of Chile this morning. He took a moment to show me his special tomohawk serve :P <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMHTableTennisBlog%2Fvideos%2F1514154105271086%2F&show_text=0&width=560"...

And yes a lot of changes made over the last decade have been at the expense of the player and in an attempt to favor the spectator. I've written about that on my blog some time ago and this has been probably the leading cause for dwindling confidence in the ITTF by players (of all levels) around...

As I said there is a lot going on behind the scenes. If I was at liberty to discuss it I would have discussed it. I'm very interested to see the outcome, especially now the Qatar candidate has stepped out and publically announced his support for Weikert. I feel ITTF have had improvements in...

lol...unlikely ha. Sure thing dude.

Sigh, so much behind the scenes that none of you know about lol. Quite frankly I hope Weikert wins. I think ITTF's digital marketing/media and sponsorship has improved a lot since he took charge and he openly supports Steve Dainton the ITTF marketing director who is an absolute legend in that...

The team play tomorrow night, practice is in full swing :D <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMH TableTennisBlog%2Fvideos%2F1511548485531648%2F&show_text=0&width=560" width="560" height="315" style="border:none;overflow:hidden"...

I'm sure the most reasonable explanation is that they want Dima to focus on the singles where he has a legitimate chance of progressing to potentially win a medal, it's not so surprising really. When I spoke to Timo in China a couple of years ago he said now was the time for Ovtcharov to start...

Karakasevic for sure, most variation and best backhand touch, full table coverage. True backhand dominant player. Also my training partner for this afternoon. Cho! :D

Pavel Platonov's backhand serve. lol

Hi everyone, I'm currently training with the team at TTC Ostrava in Czech Republic for the next 3 weeks in the leadup to the WTTC in Dusseldorf, hopefully I can find some time to post some updates here as I go. The team here is really solid, they will play the Czech Extraliga finals starting...

Thanks guys :)
