  1. What is your killing / signature shot ?

    I win a lot of points with my nasty serves. I serve mostly long, fast, deceptive wide-angle serves and elbow jamming serves, I rarely serve short unless the other guy is blasting winners against me with a success ratio of above 50%. Most of my long serves are underspin serves and my short serves...
  2. Jun Mizutani Ghost Serve

    Yikes! 20 different variations! No wonder his opponents are just befuddled when they receive his service.... and that includes top-tier CNT national team members like Ma Lin and ZJK.
  3. Which Tennis player do you support? :D

    Djokovic for me, his powerful, balanced style of play together with the dominating game is so beautiful to watch. His game has lots of similarities to Zhang Jike, and he also tore his shirt like Zhang Jike when he won the AO 2012! :cool: Furthermore, he has that unshakeable confidence, he...
  4. Slovenian Open 2012 - ITTF World Tour

    the amount of power ZJK displayed against Mihai Bobocica is just ridiculous, he's the Djokovic of the table tennis world...
  5. Slovenian Open 2012 - ITTF World Tour

    Wang Hao always had a losing record against Ma Lin, because his blocking is one of the worst in the top-tier CNT. Players like ZJK, Ma Long and WLQ have good records against Ma Lin because they are able to block a lot of Ma Lin's hard topspins.
  6. Slovenian Open 2012 - ITTF World Tour

    Joo normally doesn't like to play against lefties with big FHs like Chen Qi and now Xu Xin, coz the angles that they produce are sharper than equivalent right handers and they make him run left-right more than he would normally do against right-handers...:(
  7. What serve/service do you use?

    Yup, it's a good serve when you don't like people winning points straight away...but how would you deal with the possibilities of the return(i think most good players would be able to return the serve safely to all corners of the table)? Especially those players with deceptive short game, I hate...
  8. What serve/service do you use?

    I love serving pendulum side-top for some reason, just like Dan I guess... :) Most of my opponents can't push it low due to the enormous spin on it, they're forced to flick it (a shot that they don't use often), and when they flick it I get a nice topspin ball that I can attack easily from both...
  9. Improving the visual presentation of Table Tennis

    How about making a player profile for each player? For example: Zhang Jike: Specialty: BH over-the-table loop, FH reverse serve Strengths: power from both wings, good blocking and consistency in rallies. Weaknesses: slightly slower in shot transitioning Ma Long: Specialty: FH 3rd ball...
  10. Who has the best forehand?

    Since, the sport was not specified, i'm voting for Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic!
  11. Improving the visual presentation of Table Tennis

    Thinking about it, the markings on the ball could be used as a kinda of tracer, using a high speed camera, one can count the number of times the surface color of the ball turns from white to the marking colour and back again, and use that to calculate the spin.
  12. mild injury

    My knees have been injured over a month ago. I still feel some minor cracking in the joints when I bend down and some nagging pain(not very serious) when I put weight on my legs. From what I've read it's best to do some mild exercise during rehabilitation so that my muscles do not grow weaker...
  13. Improving the visual presentation of Table Tennis

    Just wanted to get everyone's ideas about improving how Table Tennis is presented on TV and media. I liked the ITTF slow-mos now. What happened to the reaction-time meter that I once seen last year? Bring that back!!! I would really like a Spin Cam as well as Speed Cam(similar to how tennis...
  14. Tiago Apolonia Promotes TT

    Never knew Tiago can look so bad-ass....hahahah
  15. How to push/flick fake

    Feint flick sounds cooler...:p
  16. Slovenian Open 2012 - ITTF World Tour

    Ma Long would be the obvious favourite. He seems to have the capability to win matches now even if he is not in absolute top form. He wasn't even close to the Pro Tour Grand Finals form in Hungarian Open, and managed to get through an on-form Xu Xin and Joo Se Hyuk. That's some serious mental...
  17. Hungarian Open 2012 - ITTF World Tour

    Simon's BH is getting better and better, along with his over-the-table BH loop. now, if only his FH has a bit more sting and power...
  18. Slow Motion Services (NEW)

    Exactly! I'm going to copy his serving style soon... nice use of the whole body's energy in the serve.
  19. Slow Motion Services (NEW)

    Still if you guess it wrong you're not going to be able to return it....:(
  20. Slow Motion Services (NEW)
