@poltery That is nothing but an insult :P How can u say no offense ;)

Hmm the thing is nobody knows in what form they are gonna show up. Maybe after the first round everyone will say Chen Qi ;). But until u can make a decision based on the current form of the players (which can change every tournament) I think there is nothing wrong with wishful thinking :). Zhang...

@david Yea I noticed that too. I always considered him a pretty standard player, of course with great technique and insane skill. But I prefer playing styles that look more effortless, like Zhang Jike's or Oh Sang Eun's. Too bad a lot of people find that look lazy haha.

Maybe u can beter color the whole thing green or yellow or white in word and then copy it.

@EnglishWelshMan That is so awesome. Totally owned him there xD

I think u can't upload here, u need to upload on Youtube and then u can post them here.

@azlan Ur right there, in such shots it is the feeling that decides, and sometimes u will hit a good shot, sometimes just a total miss. About facing the table, don't forget that at the end of the cartwheel u are very far in the BH corner, whereas it is easier to turn to the other side after...

Yea I saw that, pretty amazing. Kreanga is always at his best against defenders anyways. His power end energy is just endless.

@EnglishWelshMan Ok, thanks for the explanation :) I thought it cuz it said in the final in description and matchpoint in the video title. I agree it seems to be the easiest way, but it also gives u the least accurate shot of the available options I think.

@Olvarox The grip while serving is practically the same, with this difference that only two fingers hold the racket. To get in normal grip u just put the other three fingers around the blade in shakehand grip I thought. Do u maybe have a video of ur pendulum serve?

Haha yea you can see they have feeling for the ball but they make a lot of mistakes. But that's what you ask for if you 'slice' balls on your backhand :P

Very good post Carl. Thanks for the insights :) I have to say I'm not patient enough to practise my service often. I use tons of different serves, which I kinda make up on the spot. None of them are very strong or hard to return I think, but my opponent never knows what he is gonna get, and that...

They are only to be seen by those who have a link, so they can't be looked up on youtube with the search method. But yea, better watch them before they are gone xD.

If I understand it right that was championship point. That would have been crazy haha. It actually seems like it was the fastest way to get to the ball without the chance of seriously hurting himselves (diving). He could have switched hands as well, but I'm not sure if he would be on time...

I don't think it is intentional either. And that is good, because I think it would practically mean the end of the sport if people could do that. About serving on the edge: if someone does that all the time, he will obviously fail a certain amount of times. But as opponent, if u expect the serve...

Nice vids, a lot of awesome matches I've never seen before. Oh being 3-0 down against Smirnov before winning that match :O Incredible!

I think most of the doubles results show that good single players teamed up are also a strong double. However there are combinations that just don't work I think. Like Ovcharov and Süss being knocked out of the WTTC in the first round. So the playing styles kinda have to match. I once played...

Oh thats weird. Maybe it doesn't work if there is no match? :P In that case the title of the livestream should say coming up [a time]. For me it always works I believe.

It didn't reach the semi's yet :O Atm there is a qualification match live at ITtv and the results sheet of the knockout phase on the ITTF site is still empty. Also this is funny, I'd so like to try that haha: http://ittf.com/_front_page/ittf_full_story1.asp?ID=24522&Competition_ID=2041&

Apolonia cuz he's awesome :)
