  1. Shibaev Illegal Serve?

    If the opponent has complaints, he should make his case during the match to the referee, not afterwards.
  2. Table Tennis vs Football

    Of course, but I don't think it is that much different from pro TT players. It also differs per club or coach. Some do alot of physical training, others do less. But I mean if people like Mario Balotelli can keep up the training, the discipline bar can't be too high. There are pro's who smoke...
  3. Table Tennis vs Football

    Well the thing is, the definition of being pro imo is that you make a living out of it. And that is easier in football. Like said above, you don't need too much talent to become a pro. Since all talented players become attacking-minded, practically everyone with a little bit of skill and...
  4. Fernando Alonso playing TT

    Lol I know those bats, they are from a mini pingpong game xD I have them too haha. That table has a good sound by the way :D
  5. Table Tennis vs Football

    I wonder who misclicked and voted football :P
  6. Table Tennis vs Football

    There's too much money in football so it is relatively easy to become pro there more than any other sport. People at not interesting levels earn their living with football, while table tennis players with a very good talent and level have a hard time living from tt alone. Plus becoming pro in tt...
  7. Interview with Vladimir Samsonov WR 8

    When he won the world cup beating Chen Qi and Ma Long nobody expected him to either in advance. When the pressure is on there's always room for a suprise, and Vladi knows it. He wouldve been in semi's in Athens if he won the very close match against Persson, so I'd say a medal is possible for...

  12. China Super League 2011

    Very interesting indeed. Something weird in it though: at 2:10 and 4:25 it says XU XIN time out. I'm assuming the 2nd was Hao Shuai's? I always enjoy Shuai's block by the way :D It is good for the final that it comes to a deciding 3rd leg. Hoping for more exciting matches tomorrow :D

  15. Mens Table Tennis World Cup Invitations Announced

    I absolutely agree ;) It is daily form and opponent that can make it seem different, but the overall quality difference is practically zero. Yes I am a big fan of Maze, unfortunately he has been out for so long now, I really really hope he can catch maybe like 3 or 4 years without injuries in...
  16. Mens Table Tennis World Cup Invitations Announced

    Maze already has returned with a victory in the CL, but I think he would need more WR points to get a direct invitation. Also I still can't believe so many people here think Ma Long is better than Zhang Jike :P But maybe that's just me :D

    Too bad Maze can't participate. But it is gonna be exciting for sure!
  18. Forehand and backhand grips

    When u have the time to change and it makes u play better, do it. It is as simple as that I think. When u are blocking close to the table u have no time to change grip. When the ball comes slower and u are going to attack, changing grip a bit should be possible since the preperation for the...
  19. Long Pimples

    I know what you mean, BUT :P I agree that pips are used to compensate for example a weaker FH or BH. On higher levels it is not done to distract opponents or give crappy balls to them during the rally, but more like a help. If you are no good at FH looping, you can use short pips for...
  20. Long Pimples

    I think up to a certain level you can really lift your game using pips. It is true that in order to reach the world top you need a good allround game. But for example in national divisions (top competitions not counted) it can make a 2-3 classes difference to camouflage a weak side with pips and...
