Long pimple rubbers will return a topspin ball with backspin and a backspin ball will be returned with with topspin. You should serve long with backspin and he will return it with topspin or no spin. Smash that ball! If he return it, the ball have backspin and you should return it with a long...

There will not be videos of the matches of 25th and 26th! What a shame :( CCTV-5 will probably give the camera to table 1 on 28th because Zhang Jike vs Ma Long and Ma Long vs Xu Xin match will be on that table. I hope they do.

TTD's official thread about Fan Zhendong's equipment: http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?7317-Fan-Zhendong-s-Equipment

Yes, there are differences between Hurricane and skyline, Hurricane is tackier and less bouncy. But this will be forgotten when you understand that all of CNT players are using custom blades and rubbers. The logos on their rubbers and blades are just for marketing.

Grand Slam champions was not best in pro tours but this not proves anything. If a player wins so many pro tours like Ma Long, then there is no reason for him to not become one of the greatest player of all time. Wang Hao won his WTTC title when he was 25-26. Ma Long is now 25 and he will be 26...

Hurricane 3 and Skyline 3 and 2 are so similar. All of them are using a tacky rubber on forehand and a Tenergy on backhand with an OFF blade. Anyway, their blades and rubbers are custom made by sponsors.

I don't think so. Almost all of current balls are smaller than 40 mm (around 39.7 mm) but they are labeled "40" not "40-". So i think new balls will also be labeled "40".

Personally, i'm not interested in DHS balls. I never liked them. It will be interesting to see what Butterfly will do.They can come up with the best possible balls. Anyway, new balls will not change table tennis so much. Players will just need some time to get used to them.

The final product will probably have better quality and will be more durable. I'm wondering why those balls have "+40" on them probably because they are bigger than 40mm. The final product will be a 40 mm ball not a +40 mm ball because the rules of ITTF about size of the balls will be changed...

I know everyone will start saying Zhang Jike is using a T05-fx on backhand so i have to clear it now. The only time we saw a T05-fx on backhand of Zhang Jike was a photo at 2013 WTTC. The photos are not form a match. Two person take that photos from a CNT couch. They asked him if it is Zhang...

I'm happy to see Masato Shiono in the team.

Zhang Jike has a mental problem and it is his "unmotivated" mode. He is not able to motivate himself to win. So if i use "unmotivated" for a match that Zhang Jike lost, i mean he CAN NOT motivate himself to win.

He is changing his equipment so fast to flow. I hope we can flow him fast enough. I think his for hand rubber is a Boosted Neo Hurricane 3 not a Hurricane 3.

So Ma Long beat them when he was 20 and then lost to Wang Hao 3 times in semi-final of WTTC after he become older and reach his prime. I'm not enemy of Ma Long. His technique is best in the world and he is one of the most complete player of all time but his mentality is weak to win a WTTC...

Rules of ITTF about balls will not change for sure so only similar balls to now will be legal. They will not be exactly the same but they will be so similar to current balls. The only problem can be the price of new balls. I'm sure they will not be too expensive. Companies will find a way to...

There was 10 years old boy named Zhang Zhihe played in the men's singles and had won his match in first round. This is crazy! First 16 years old Fan Zhendong and now this 10 years old player from Japan. The next prodigy will be a 4 years old Korean ;)

Wow he is really Cristiano Ronaldo!

First, achievements are very important for players and only players with great achievements will stay in mind. Second, Wang Hao was a better player than Ma Long because of reaching the final of 3 Olympics and winning a WTTC but we don't compare them because Wang Hao is getting old and today is...

I like the Hawk Eye idea. I think soon we will have that in the matches. Another good idea is showing some statistical information after the match like what China done for the matches in 2013 WTTC.

Anyone noticed their matches are getting boring? Just see their match in the final of 2011 Austrian Open, 2012 Slovenian open and 2013 World Tour Grand Finals. First one is the best match ever. Second is also good but not as good as first one. The last one is still good but not as good as the...
