  1. Shocking Interview with a Table Tennis Fan on World Ranking Reform

    He has wins over the likes of Xu Xin, Jun Mizutani, Chang Chi Yuan, Timo Boll and Vladimir Samsonov. He does have many bad losses and plays a lot, so there is a case to be made that he is often not as strong as his ranking would suggest. There is a internet forummer who particularly dislikes...
  2. Xu Xin seems all better and ready for the World Cup

    So who is the team? Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan and Yu Ziyang?
  3. What To Do If Your Opponent Serves Illegally

    Hahahaha - hope I didn't lie. MY toss is not purely veritical as I start from slightly in front and toss back to my right hip but if it is good enough for Ma Long, it is good enough for me.
  4. Tibhar Quantum X

    I suspect its pros didn't see it as an improvement over Evolution while the other pros saw the SSP as an improvement. Time will tell. Not sold on the booster in this SSP.
  5. Tibhar Hybrid K1 Pro

    That is ridiculous. And I am not joking either. Anything over $35 is not in my market.
  6. China Super League 2017

    That was a championship match for the China games not a super league match. They are on the same Super League team.
  7. Pendulum back/sidespin serve for forehand dominant player

    Banana flick is like a backhand loop or a sidespin variation or just a hooking backhand shot. Strawberry flick is what some people also call violin. The only top player who I know uses it on a regular basis is Gauzy. That's why I get very confused when I read Lightzy repeatedly use the...
  8. What To Do If Your Opponent Serves Illegally

    The big guy on my club whose looping game people like, he habitually begins his serving motion holding the ball beneath the table. There is another guy from India I play whose major training period was during the hidden serve era. So even if he is trying to serve legally, his pendulum serves...
  9. Pendulum back/sidespin serve for forehand dominant player

    The biggest reason people don't use reverse pendulum serves is that they can't put enough spin on the ball compared to the pendulum and the wrist isn't as flexible. The Punch serve is somewhat changing that now.
  10. What To Do If Your Opponent Serves Illegally

    I remember playing at the US Open one year. A player in my group had hidden serves. His opponent didn't complain. The audience including me were outraged. When the opponent won an easy first game, we asked him why he wasn't complaining. He said all the serves were no spin so it wasn't...
  11. What To Do If Your Opponent Serves Illegally

    I serve illegally as do many players I know. I don't hide my serves or consciously toss the ball low. The rules are such that many people who serve illegally do so and don't know. There are no levels of illegality in the rules. Umpires rarely if ever call serve violations except of the worst...
  12. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Like I said the blade has one of the deepest dwells for any blade out there. Just hit with a slightly more circular counter hitting stroke and hit a little harder. You need to think like an advanced player. You can't change equipment and loop exactly the same way, you have to adjust your...
  13. Pendulum back/sidespin serve for forehand dominant player

    My coach said to serve pendulum if I wanted to open with my backhand and the most backhand dominant player in my club who never pivots serves pendulum serves. In the end it really is about your ball contact preferences and his well your opponent is adjusting for either sidespin. I understand...
  14. Ittf stupiiiiiiiiiid ranking

    Lol. Nah. I mean what the event symbolizes. I watched a lot of T2APAC, that speaks for itself.
  15. London 2018 Team World Cup

    If you look at the results, it was really funny that neither of them could beat the chopper Wu Yang. That was how Chen Xingtong won the event and prevented a 4 way tie.
  16. Ittf stupiiiiiiiiiid ranking

    Possibly, but gymnastics can have many events finalists as well. They have restricted it to two per event, most prominently in the allround, for this medal reason. I like to compare it to salary caps and revenue sharing in the major American sports leagues - you may wish everyone could just do...
  17. London 2018 Team World Cup

    Yeah - seems I read only the first sentence of WorkerBee's post and fell asleep on the rest. Good luck to Germany with that method...
  18. London 2018 Team World Cup

    I don't understand it either. Top 3 for Germany is Dima, Boll and Filus for 42153 pts total, while top 3 for China is FZD, LGY and XX for 43924 pts total.
  19. London 2018 Team World Cup

    Mu Zi is #185 in the world. I love it! And WR#1 Chen Meng can't even make the team automatically. Even lovelier!
  20. Service Receive

    It's okay, the OP has spoken and said he wanted all opinions on anything serve related, not just how to interpret serves, you are free to write whatever you want. Others who read what you wrote can come to their own conclusion because unless you mistyped a lot of stuff in this response, mine...
