Muscle growth takes A LOT of time...especially for his legs to go from the size in the before pic to the after pic. This assumption is based on the fact that his physical growth reflects the effects of anab. steroids. i.e swolen jaw, thick neck, thick and waist, abnormally large hips and legs...

you've missing the point. Perf. enhancing drugs don't guarantee you victory. Watching ma long play at 16 and I saw a 16 yr ol playing with speed and athleticism. Watching FZD play ma long I saw a kid with thick trunk, massive legs, seemingly unnatural itensity to stamina ratio keeping up with...

i should have probably clarified, by steroids i mean illegal performance ehancing drugs.

agreed Der_Echte, but both Wang Hao and FZD look 30 in terms of physically maturity... the difference being wang hao is actually 30.

Hey TTFrenzy allow me to explain why I think TT players like FZD absolutely stand to benefit from steroids. Let me first preface my explanation with this - taking steroids does not grant athletes super powers/skills, i.e. steroids wont make FZD unbeatable. The purpose of anabolic steroids (as...

IMHO FZD may have used steroids. Comparing his built to Dima's, his waist, legs and jawline seem unnatural developed for a TT player (a 15 yr old at that...and not to mention that power). I'm not to saying it's impossible for him to be completely natural (kinda like a Lebron James), but it...

Alibaba itself isn't unreliable in any way, it merely helps connect buyers and sellers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alibaba_Group). I buy my chinese rubbers on aliexpress from what appear to be reliable sources. I use the aliexpress app on my phone to message sellers and find shipping...

i wonder how this hybrid rubber compares to the tin arc 3?

http://www.megaspin.net/store/default.asp?pid=falco-tempo-long-booster They claim its legal. What is ITTF's stance on bossting only the sponge? I'm not clear about the response they gave to megaspin.

"Good techniques alone won't prevail" - i never realized this until now, yet it totally makes sense. I always attributed bad play-days to bad technique solely. Thanks for the eye opener. While my technique is off on bad days, I think its a culmination of everything you've mentioned that...

For your backhand, are you traditional or reverse? How do you hold it from the back?

http://tabletennis.about.com/od/rules/a/Racket-Control.htm Is it just me, or this a really, really horrible idea? I consider the argument regarding boosting flawed, since the author is assuming all rubbers perform best when boosted, and that it is technologically impossible for manufacturers to...

i don't see any refraction when looking through zjk's supposed lenses, so i'm going to go with empty frame.

Agreed, I would say that is why he struggled against fan zhendong.

I think kenta's flying across the table backhand was impressive, but overrated. I was more impressed by xx's crossover footwork in return his backhand shot. (The point was also a cheap point, since he only got it because he skimmed the edge.) Very tough call for me. It is a tossup between gionis...

I definitely don't think he wants to get a dropshot back, he prefers a deep return that will allow him to step back and attack with his cpen forehand. Look at his equipment, he even prefers the tenergy64 over the tenergy05 on his backhand, implying he is more comfortable mid distance than close...

i say deceptively legal, because while he doesn't hide the ball, he hides his paddle with his body until the very last minute. It is apparent from certain camera angles in these videos that the contact point is actually visible from the table. As far as rule 2.6.5 is concerned, I'm still...

Also shows that his serves are deceptively legal!
