I'm amazed at the gap between the Chinese and the rest. I can only imagine that the top players must be baffled at how ML,FZD,XX can play so consistently, so many notches above the playing field. It must be like solving the world's biggest mystery for non-Chinese coaching teams. This also shows...

Seeing some new shoes in the WTTC. Anyone know what brand?

What's up with Ovtacharov? This must be the 3rd or 4th tournament I've seen where he's coughing after every point. Looks like he had no desire to win against Jorgic Darko. p.s. cover your mouth & stop coughing your germs all over the ball;)

Pitchford is amazing. I have always said that he needs to put on some weight but this goes to show you that you don't need massive legs and quads to be successful. He gets plenty of power with his timing and he places the ball on angles with huge quality & consistency. His short serve return...

Ahaha let us know if it plays better than MXP.:D

If you post a video of your BH you will get much better advice as power is much easily to attain via technique and timing. I recently went through the same thing on the BH. I found out that I wasn't doing a full wrist & arm rotation in the backswing. I was also taking the BH too in front and...

ML is back! I think we'll see some good play from him.

Based on their digital video abilities I wouldn't be surprised if their social network game was on the same level.

Paul wins 11-4

There are some pretty good drills on Newgy's robopong that put you from centre to wide or wide to wide that are impossible to return unless your footwork and movement are good. Even basic drill #6 is great. 2FH & 2BH. Forces you to be in the correct position quickly to get your shots back.

I had the same situation. All of the points above make sense. There are so many elements in competitive game play that are not common in training. Heck you may play someone who does absolutely everything different than your coach or training partner. I found myself searching for an answer in a...

I've been reading that BH dominant players use the reverse pendulum and that FH dominant players use the pendulum however it's not making sense. It's obvious when you watch Zike, FZD and ML that it's true. But...when you pendulum serve with back sidespin, it's common for your opponent to easily...

The wild thing about Timo's is that the up trajectory is pretty straight up. With high amounts of side during play you generally see a left to right arcing of the ball usually. To have the ball come straight up then kick on bounce is the mind screw.

The WITTF!?

Any news from TTNPP? I was going to order some but not if they've changed them. Last ones I bought about 2-3 months ago were great. Has anyone tried a side by side bounce test with the old ones and new ones?

Wow that's a really cool statistical breakdown. I will be looking for your next one on the next major tournament. Thanks for that.

Spinmax I've used this before. It has a very strong chemical smell. It does a nice job cleaning up and renewing tackiness to Chinese rubbers but I'm not so sure that it doesn't degrade the top sheet. http://spinmax.oneofakindtrading.com.au/

Seemed like Ovtcharov didn't like the balls at the China Open. Which ball were they using?

Agree. He's like the Mike Tyson of TT.

What a final. When ML says that he's tired I believe it. I could see a bit of energy drain in the second half. The game against XX a few hours before was full dragon mode. Probably would have went 4-1 if ML was fully charged.
