No samsonov this year? Oh will take it, he has my vote! :)

Just a couple of weeks yea, I went to the Australian Open for 10 days and played teams for New Zealand then individuals so I have been off here for quite a bit. Not to worry though I am now back :) Thanks for asking buddy

Ok and now it does work but I can't edit my last post...button fail lol

No problem, here it is. For some reason I can't embed it into the reply >.< the link button won't work and I've tried it in 2 different browsers...

I remember seeing that, wasn't it awesome! The game has a strong orientation around service these days, a strong service with a high probability of predictable return seems to be the way of the game. We had a Korean player come to New Zealand and he basically dictated all of his opponents...

Jiang Jialang was an amazing player too! :)

Tibhar Smash, love em

He is also my favourite player, although his standard is dwindling his form lives on in video. I just love his clever aggression, his backhand is insane! Sometimes his touch play reminds me of Waldner, though on rarer occasions :P

That's not a bad idea actually the 38mm ball in plastic could be the right balance. I think they will need to do a lot of testing with international players before the ball is released. I think we can sleep relatively easy knowing that we won't be given anything substandard with huge impacts on...

I think the weak slap no look handshake is quite disrespectful, usually when the player loses, you find this with a lot of young and lesser experienced players who haven't developed a more humble nature from experience. I always give a proper handshake when I can i.e when the other player isn't...

hah with the above comment I hate to continue on. DO NOT TAKE THIS OUT OF CONTEXT :P I've tended to flip between straight and flared handles over the past few years I think each blade has a unique feel to it and sometimes I prefer one over the other. Whatever feels right at the time, that's what...

yus go the shakehanders, slightly disappointing performance from Boll! however overall expected result I think

Kreanga is great, he shows that a unique style can still achieve success. Not everybody has to have the same technique! Yes he has ridiculously huge shots, yes some of them look lucky, but hell I love to watch him when hes on form! :)

Epic I'm all for the shakehanders! :)

Hey Charlie I'm from NZ was recently (last week) in the NZ mens tt team at the AUS open, best win vs Binbin Zhu WR 711 I won 3-0 last year. I think Chinese dominance in table tennis is a good thing for the sport, for a start it now has an enormous following in China, it's the national sport of...

well I've seen a guy lose a match and snap his bat, lose the next match and snap his spare bat and then lose a match the next day and snap his team mate's bat which he was borrowing :) angry much? I think so.

I don't think that kind of technical difference is specific to which hand you play with there's not a general rule that says left handers have longer backswings everyone has different style regardless

The man for stats himself. Thanks for those Matt :D I guess it's now opinion vs. statistical data. What's the saying? The house always wins ;) haha

lol how does a right hander have any faster arm movement than a left hander? >.< haha

Being left handed I vote left handed! Angles work like magic ;)
