    Full playlist of All Boogar's recorded matches: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1xHYZmEaJtTnTO4mml9ED5NRVVSZ9G6P Boogar played the Saturday night league and went 3-2.
  2. Irkutsk TT club

    The post bought tears to my eyes not because she is off the market, but because they actually took their reception to the table tennis club. That is staying true to the game.
  3. Crazy Siva vs Fan Zhendong Unbelievable Roller Shot Challenge

    If a shot was hit and there was no camera to record it, was the shot hit? Yes, only in your head.
  4. Meet up in the NY area the 9. or 10. July?

    Boogar came to Princeton Pong and played quite a few matches with the players who do things you don't see on TV. I misplaced one of my camera batteries so I couldn't get all the footage but I got some. Will share soon.
  5. Craziest Table Tennis ROLLERS Of All Time!

    For me, it was Hou Yingchao. The look on Omar Assar's face was priceless the way Hou just took the ball and rolled it. I suspect Peirre Luc's is actually the most difficult. ttmonster, you are showing national bias ;).
  6. Crazy Siva vs Fan Zhendong Unbelievable Roller Shot Challenge

    When you compare yourself to FZD's impossible shot, you had better do a special roller if you aren't playing during a point and have the benefit of editing.
  7. Rebulding Fundamental strokes for my game play

    Okay. I will leave Siva to his own devices. He seems to know best what he wants to do and who to listen to.
  8. Rebulding Fundamental strokes for my game play

    Shoulder/core rotation is good, use of the arms can be improved. You are trying to drive the ball rather than learn to spin it slowly first. It's like trying to drive a car at 160kmph before you learn how to steer the wheel. Start with the loop that Sean O Neill demonstrated. Learn to use the...
  9. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    That is actually a different video.
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Given our different athletic abilities, DerEchte and I sometimes disagree on technical details but we also agree that there is a lot of crap people tell you to do that is only necessary if you want to play marginally better. People focus on such crap and miss the really important stuff.
  11. Question: What makes Ma Long's strokes so Unique?

    ZJK played WLQ quite a few times that year - maybe OP is referring to a different match?
  12. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    So I think I have finally figured out how to consistently hit a powerful heavy topspin forehand drive with a technique I like. It works best with Tenergy though I am sure any rubber will help. I think there is a grip that works with it but I am sure you could use any grip. I will share video...
  13. Question: What makes Ma Long's strokes so Unique?

    I've heard that co-ordination ladder drills are very useful.
  14. Question: What makes Ma Long's strokes so Unique?

    You are the OP - why are you referring to yourself in third person? I wanted to hear your views. For some people, it is just as fair to hear what the OP thinks as it is for the OP to request to hear what others think. I know you consider this idiotic - it would be nice to know why you think...
  15. Question: What makes Ma Long's strokes so Unique?

    It would have been much nicer IMO to hear it from you. But I guess I can't get everything I want. My favorite CNT forehand is Xu Xin. He beats choppers like eggs.
  16. Question: What makes Ma Long's strokes so Unique?

    In a somewhat related story, at a club near mine, two players were discussing who among two top US u12 players had the better forehand. One was arguing for the more advanced and powerful player and another was arguing for the upcoming player. The final point made, which a 3rd coach agreed...
  17. Question: What makes Ma Long's strokes so Unique?

    Why do I feel what doesn't what? The CNT coaches have often spoken about forehand quality in the past and have often spoken about Wang Hao and Zhang Jike. It's obvious that all the top 4 CNT players have great forehands. I think it's often more aesthetics and playing style differences that...
  18. Question: What makes Ma Long's strokes so Unique?

    I don't think I am taking anything out of context nor am I "pouncing on you" for what you are trying to do. I asked you to provide reasons for what you felt and I explained that feelings can be wrong and they can be right. It helps to know what is driving your feelings. I felt that your...
  19. Ask Tiago Apolonia a question on the TTD podcast!

    Your forehand is powerful and looks a little different compared to other players. How did you develop it? You and Freitas were once Tibhar sponsored players and switched to Butterfly. Was any part of it because Tibhar wanted you to use MX-P but you wanted to continue using Tenergy 05?
