Very well lol. I've done a lot of talking to camera and videoing today and I feel like it's going to be awful ;) hahaha Always pays to trip on the first step to gain some momentum :D

Nice work, its really the best area to work on more once your foundations are in place you can win so many easy points. Even now with my game in pieces I'm still heavily relying on my serves to keep me competitive in matches (not much else is working lol). Keep working on them and you'll be 2500...

So as some of you may know after competing at the world champs I got sick again (i have an autoimmune disorder). This time it took nearly 2 months to recover enough to start training again and I also had to withdraw from Oceania Champs. It has been a very testing couple of months and currently...

They play the probabilities, when they serve against lower level players usually they can estimate a high probability of a certain return, mainly because lower players won't find it easy to return their serves any other way unless they have ridiculously good serve receive. They are prepared for...

Execution, confidence and reliability. When a professional player executes a serve or a stroke in a match the odds of it being reliable, accurate and high quality are bigger than a 2100 player. Most professionals are much more athletic than 2100 players, have undergone much more intense training...

A general rule of thumb based on average length sessions 2-3 hours is, number of times played per week = number of changes per year. So if you play 2 times per week you should change no less than every 6 months if you are seriously training etc. I play every day but I use a separate bat for 70%...

Thanks! :D

If you venture up towards New York from Philly be sure to stop in New Jersey along the way at Lily Yip Table Tennis Center! :) you might meet some interesting characters :P

If you want to improve your stamina and generally get tired after 3 full matches then you need to look at doing more endurance type training. I would suggest longer workouts like cycling, swimming or running on the side of more table tennis specific exercises or short burst fitness. How is your...

The final 8 players in the draw qualified, Timo made it through as well. Gutted for Samsonov who had a surprising loss to Gionis and also for Pitchford who had a nailbiting 4-3 loss to Apolonia!

Sorry I meant ECL

Yes Laola claimed rights on all bundesliga videos. It was similar 5 years ago when Reflex Sport claimed rights on their video content and the original TableTennisDaily Youtube Channel was deleted by Youtube for Copyright Infringement. Pretty sad really. It's essentially monopolizing the media...

Kreanga's bat sounds...juicy af lol

I'm with NextLevel: Samsonov and Oh Sang Eun. Fluidity at it's finest.

Great interview, I met Neha at the Topspin Charity Pro Tournament at the start of this year and she seems like a lovely person and had some absolutely filthy tricks up her sleeves with that Grass Dtecs lol

I talked to Monteiro briefly last night. The Portugese association have guaranteed him the 3rd team spot but have decided he will not play the qualification. Obviously he's not thrilled with the decision as he would have liked to have tried to qualify for the singles.

But now that i've seen the entry list and noticed all the younger players in there i'm wondering if perhaps he isn't planning on playing. I'll message him and see if I can find out.

Also if you can find some videos of them on youtube there are a couple of good chinese choppers who were in the USA one is called Wei Wang and was about 80 in the world for Spain, the other is Guan Qing Feng who was almost Chinese national team and lost in the 7th to Crisan at last year's US...

Joo Se Hyuk, Gionis Panagiotis, Yuto Muramatsu, Masato Shiono, Adam Pattantyus, Jang Song Man, Ruwen Filus, Hou Yingchao. Older choppers that are great to watch are Ding Song and Matsushita. Don't forget there are a tonne of choppers in the women's too like Pavlovich and Kim Kyung Ah (Her...

I still have the medal :P hahah We have tournaments every month, 2 of them are at F.I.T in New York each year :D
