Thanks! More to come when the moment comes!

The Japanese TV station TV Tokyo bought the rights to that table. That table is reserved for Team Japan. They've started doing it since WTTC 2014, I think.

Added transcript for the 1st video. Will work on the others down the road.

Without boring you with the messy history of ESN rubbers, the wave that has become known for its spin quality and helped ESN reshape the impression of Tensor(good for speed only), is widely regarded as the 4th-generation(Andro's description for Hexer), 4G in short. The year was late 2009...

Very funny yet challenging, but couldn't post to Youtube, so head over to my blog to see who is up to the task. https://3rdballattack.blogspot.com/

Show them the old glory. Tell them the Chinese media and folks still reminisce over the rivalry with Sweden 3 decades later. As Peter Karlsson often get asked in China, when will Sweden be that good again?

In the latest TV table tennis program, Yoshimura admitted to the host that he has fallen behind and his style is outdated. He is working on changing it at the moment. Matsu-ken style has become more aggressive since late 2016 after he signed up with Qiu Jianxin as his personal coach through...

Promotional video for Hong Kong Open 2018.

How did those 2 get on the LARC in the 1st place?

No contest here. They have China beat when it comes to taking selfies.

Yes, thats correct.

In Japan's case, yes, the stamp is important. The JTTA mandates that every player must play with approved equipment in any of its domestic tournaments. Sharara wrote once he had plans for blade approval and beyond, shirts, shoes etc. The reason for the focus on rubber is a historical one -...

The source is from the ITTF site, in a piece by Colin Clemett. Look it up. It's fun to read. I don't know about fairness. Like you wrote, there is hardly any sufficient video footage to make any reasonably objective assessment of how exactly the rules were enforced back then. Though, just...

Whereas the people from the former Eastern Bloc have chosen to reject the past, Reisman et al. from the days of hardbat have chosen to reject the future.

As for cheating, oh yea, players cheated in the days of hardbat, once you read up on the rule changes since the 1st WTTC in 1926 when the ITTF was formed. The 1st change that suggests unfair gain of advantage through equipment was made in 1927. Multiple changes were needed for the finger...

Well, Berndt could be doing a "poor job" on purpose. After the previous exchange, it got me thinking perhaps getting people to hate hardbat has been his intention after all. One could never know. Whatever the case, after some readings, I feel that Berndt's position actually gives some great...

May I ask if English is your 1st language? If not, I could understand. Otherwise, I have trouble understanding why you could miss what I was bitching about. Perhaps you're one of those unsuspecting members Carl mentioned. Besides, the only comment I got there reinforces what Bobrow said...

Root cause: Table tennis, or more precisely Ping Pong, ceased to be a Jewish sport(lost its purity) in the '50s at the dawn of Occupied Japan and since the '60s after the rise of Communist China. Nonetheless, I don't see his personal crusade any different from the very vocal gripes of many...
