The only legitimate reason to rank Waldner above Wang LQ or Wang Hao is a question of who he had to beat to win his championships. In his day, he had to beat the usual number of amazing Chinese players (which started with Jiang Jialiang and included Kong, Wang Tao, Liu Guoliang, and even Ma...

The Stiga tables in the US are not the same as the really nice ones you get in Sweden. I think they contract their construction to someone in North America and put the Stiga name on them. The are ok, but the surface has kind of a plastic texture, which is really different from the ones I have...

Joo Se Hyuk clearly the greatest defender of modern table tennis (which we could say is from around 1969-present), but winner of none of the really prized international competitions (World Championships, Olympics, World Cup). But at least a finalist. Everybody else mentioned, all great...

C'mon guys. It can't be just because the look pretty, it has to be based on accomplishments. It has to be someone who has won the world championships more than once. It would be good if there was an Olympic gold in there too. Therefore it can't be Ma Long, or Timo Boll, who have never won...

I've tried a bunch of other rubbers looking for an alternative. I am still playing with T05, which tells you how it went. But, among the ones I've tried (Donic Baracuda, Sonic Acuda S1 Stiga Boost TC, Stiga Calibra LT, Stiga Calibra LT SOUnd, Hexer, Joola Phenix, Xiom Vega Asian), the ones...

I am probably quite a bit older than most the guys who post here, and I am reasonably well paid. I can afford 65 USD for a sheet of T05, but the PRINCIPLE of the thing bugs me. Worse, I just replaced a sheet last week, i've got about 9 or 10 hours on the new one, and it is already chipping...

Dandoy booster is really good. Not needed on Tenergy, though.

The Kong Linghui Special is also quite similar, as was the old Keyshot.

yes, they are similar, TBS is substantially faster and a little harder. Viscaria is more like TBS in terms of speed, but is also just a little softer.

Tibhar Smash 28.

Butterfly's seem to last a long time without getting shiny. I find it interesting that it depends a lot on where people live. Most people in the US think Nittaku makes the best balls, but I've noticed they are not so popular in Europe.

I used to practice a lot with Marta Matsuda, who had once been on Brazilian women's national team. This was after she moved to Houston. Sadly, she now has a family and has quit playing.

Very cool! It's nice you are here! Yes very good player indeed.

But in all seriousness, why would you want to give away such a beautiful thing as a Viscaria?

And this one should just about do the job! Huzzah!!!

Well, but writing this post saying the Viscaria should be mine, I get closer to the 15 posts needed to claim that the Viscaria should be mine!

That is an old video ( I can tell by the clothes and the tables) but I actually visited a training center like that a couple of years ago in Wuhan China. They had about 40 brand new Double Happiness tables, all filled with little kids and young teenagers. Lots of coaches. A good friend of...

Xiom shirts are really cool too, but they don't hold up so well.

Wow!!! That is a great list!!!

I played Danny Seemiller just before he reached his prime (I played him in 1974), not too long after he was in the top 50 in the world. I used to play with Eric Owens twice a week, I have played with Jim Butler many times, a couple of 2500 level guys at my club I get play with from time to time...
