  2. I am 15 years old, what is the chance of becoming a professional?

    Then chances are big you're unseeded. Unless its a very big official tournament, where some very good players have "Dan" like Judo fighters, or Shogi players. I've seen in some open tournaments, 1st round matches of very high level on one table, and very average level on some other tables...

  8. Spin is better than Speed - I am a believer now.

    One of the strongest guy in my team is a penholder. He is always playing with a lot of spin and placement. I saw him play recently a match against a very good defender whose attacking FH was also very spinny and it was an amazing match. I regret not filming it. I've played many times with him...

    not sure this will age well, especially when he learns that chicks prefer rich men to bums, and that TT coaches will not teach him for free because they have a family to feed. but 15 is a time when to have grand ideas.
  15. Butterfly Revoldia CNF and Dignics 09C reviews

    Regarding YY video, I won't translate everything but here is a TLDR YY says he never liked tacky rubbers like Chinese rubbers or SpinArt because you need to use a bit more body, and its more difficult to adjust when you're a bit late on the ball. He is also always afraid with this kind of...

  20. Was it a staged (bogus) play, just for hype?

    its a best of , and it doesn't show on purpose the points that the younger guy won. But obviously he had a difficult time at receiving. in the last part of the video, he explains how he was tricked by the serve as the old guy could serve with the same initial swing either a YG serve or a...
