I'm afraid there might be little too much design and less function and durability in these Xiom shoes and I'm glad that some feedback confirms what is hinted just from the photos and hands-on feel when I saw them in the shop...

Looks like Timo has problems with receive this weekend and not able to read Ma Longs service (surprising if one thing how much his serves are studied all over the world in past 4 years...)

Set to CZE

That would be really sensational, hard to compare to anything we have seen in last 10 years... so yes, we will cheer for them, we will wish it happen but it's very very unlikely;)

They are, Jun is playing with them for some time now (not really a new thing;)

Btw. I've just received 2nd 72-box of D40+ from TTnPP. Four-letter batch number is barely readable this time but both boxes tested and doing well. No single cracked ball after 8+ training session in small club (2 tables, 2-3 hours per training, we use ~20 balls in the session). Not saying...

Ding Ning shredded Feng Tianwei in 2nd game including mercy - nomercy points:)

Hard question without seeing him in action. It's clear that TB ALC is fast and serves well for attacking players who play 95% of shots with heavy loops from both sides. Again hard to say if 11-y-o can reach that level (from my experience very unlikely) and if his coach says it's too fast (too...

I've plaid this season with YSE (84g) + Yasaka Rising Dragon (FH) + Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft. Great control and spin from both sides. Being the same age as you, allround/offensive European style (learned the game in 90s;), I can fully recommend. Whole set-up weight is 173g. YR7s is light but if you...

Ahoj Romane, I'm with Astorix in this: bought few 72-ball boxes from TTNPP, free shipping to Europe, no import taxes or other things, comfortably bellow 13CZK per ball and you have *** balls even for training. I'm currently trying to persuade the guys in my club to abandon rubbish Stiga Optimum...

(just want to say that I have 3rd sheet of RD red rubber in 9 months and no problems at all so probably my EU distribution is lucky on good batches or QA issues aren't so serious...)

Playing with Rising Dragon n FH (me being shakehand FH dominant) is even better then R7/R7s, slightly more spin and speed. R7s on BH is ideal at this moment, both rubbers are excellent and definitely worth trying if you are in the search for "ideal" rubber:)

Btw. there are ELO ratings which count matches and games separately (so you have main ELO rating and then "games" ELO which might be higher or lower). While it doesn't mess up with the ranking as such (for people who are keen into these and count just victories) it gives good indication if you...

Nice video on the YT! Very decent technique and footwork, looks like you know how to put your body and move for next ball, very good foundation for fast improvements.

I have several OFF- blades: Bfly Primo OFF-, Yasaka Sweden Extra and Tibhar Stratus Powerwood. Primo OFF- being almost on par with YSE in terms of speed but I prefer YSE because of better control. Not sure if it is because of rubbers (using Rozena MAX and H3n MAX) or because my Primorac is from...

You might call "little" embarrassing when he lost to 36-y-o never WM champion Timo Boll at WC semi but still it was 3:4 and Timo played one of his best matches in last 10 years. Calling major embarrassment when losing to your best contender for several years and probably the best player today is...

As SugaD suggests: even $20 racket (yinhe 9 + two Friendship rubbers or similar) from TTnPP or similar asian cheap shop will be much better then any pre-made racket. Sure, it would be better to start with some slower ALL wood in $20-40 range but if you are on budget... btw. good set of...

For paddling over Atlantic ocean?

There are many sports struggling with this meaning that they have only "educated" spectators and the rest of the population says "Wau this is interesting let's watch one hour" only if it gets broadcasted once per 4 years during OG but they would never watch it regularly. It's not the best...

Well it is bad but considering other countries like UK, Belgium, Sweden - I'm not sure if they even have their major TT league or some ITTF World Tour event live in national-wide TV channel. I also have another problem because I'm obviously biased (since I was 8yo;): can TT really be attractive...
