  5. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    You must've missed this.
  6. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    I think a certain dude whose name starts with z did just that and a certain other jumped the gun to accuse that dude for not making any argument of his own but only quoting these quotes.
  7. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    People are losing track and likely losing it, so I posted these quotes on 40+ because some accuse others for blowing it out of proportion and even making stuff up, especially on its effect to players. Since Google Translate has serious trouble handling these sentences written by Ding Song, I've...
  8. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    Please answer that by quoting.
  9. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    Ya, ya, ya. ZJK beat ML in WC 2014 because of the 40+ ball. http://www.ctta.cn/xwzx/ppxw/2015/0126/101257.html From LGL's column in Table Tennis World, Volume 1 of 2015: After the change to plastic ball, FZD beat ML in the team and singles event of National Championships. This is an alarm for...
  10. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    That quote is from early 2015, before the WTTC. But he did change later on, even switched to T05 on the FH in 2017?
  11. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    Ya, ya, ya... One change leads to another as stated by Ding Song. LGL has also stated many CNT members, with the exception of ZJK, switched equipment in response to the 40+ ball. http://sports.people.com.cn/BIG5/n/2015/0209/c383224-26531307.html LGL states that most of the players have made...
  12. The "Myth" of Custom Rubbers

    That's what I read, too, where the gluing separates them. I can't tell as I haven't really looked into it. As for "culling" blades, LXX has shed some light on that. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79844&PID=990282&title=the-hype-around-the-hype-around-national-h3#990282
  13. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    In case you refuse to read what ML said, At the World Cup 2014 in Dusseldorf, after a grueling seven-gamer with ZJK, ML conceded at 3:4. Afterward, the old-school ML decided to switch out his long-standing backhand sponge. Not only did this change take courage, but it also gave rise to unease...
  14. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    In "The Reform of Plastic Balls of Table Tennis:Countermeasures of China National Table Tennis Team" by Ding Song, it's stated ML and XX gained a significant advantage from the 40+(cellulose acetate) ball. Courtesy of Google Translate...

  16. The "Myth" of Custom Rubbers

    I see where AndySmith is coming. For example, DHS claims it is mostly psychological. OTOH, we have Boll saying he plays harder rubbers in smaller halls, and vice versa. Interview with Guan Yasong, DHS's Marketing Manager and Product Center Supervisor from the 7th volume of Table Tennis World...
  17. The "Myth" of Custom Rubbers

    The most popular example is the Friendship 755 that Deng Yaping is said to have used, though she mentioned it was 563 before correcting it to 799 during a TV commentary in 2006. It's said CNT specifically demanded Friendship to not make it available to the general public until DYP retired...
  18. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    After losing to ZJK in the group stage of team at the National Games 2013, http://sports.sohu.com/20130903/n385772673.shtml "It feels normal. After all, I'm "half-retired.' It's very good to be able to play like this." Wang Hao, who walked off the court, quickly adjusted his mood. His...
  19. The "Myth" of Custom Rubbers

    Ya, it's difficult to answer because it's no trade secret. People knew Boll and Mizutani were already playing/testing with T05 Hard/D05/tacky rubber for so long and they were still listed as using T05/T80 until the respective models were released.
