The obligatory "Boll is overrated for being No. 1."

If you want to play low, this is how low you have to be.

Harimoto doesn't like curry. Curry tomahawk serve, to be precise. There is a problem with his forehand backswing.

Hayata led in 3 of the 4 games and lost them all in deuce. I gotta give it to Hirano. She is really good when the game is tight. That is exactly the quality that Ishikawa lacks.

Feel free to copy the code in the 1st post to reproduce it.

Any post that contains the url AND quote tags gets devoured by the black hole. Example in the 4th post with the following contents(brackets were changed to parentheses because of the bug): Any post with fewer than 5 letters is displayed fine in Preview, but the system won't let you post due to...

There is a bug after the forum upgrade. Any post that contains the url AND quote tags get devoured by the black hole.

That's why I have a hard time interpreting the new proposal as legalization of booster. They could've just removed the passages in T4 to start with instead of this. Adding that phrase won't do anything. They could still claim after-market boosting is considered harmful.

Below were the proposed amendments to T4. The wording can't get any clearer. In only 10 months' time, the ITTF is going to backtrack on its long-time stance against after-market boosting?

Competitive sandpaper ping pong is even more fairer than hardbat. What now?

No, the 40-year-old didn't die. He just fell unconscious for roughly 2 weeks from the fume when gluing at home. Butterfly had to recall over 120,000 bottles of "Super Long Chack" after that. It happened in March 2007. The ITTF had already decided to ban speedglue in 2006, which was postponed...

I know the ITTF posted it but there is no mention of legalization. However, the official site of magazine Table Tennis Kingdom has posted an entry on their interpretation(legalization) of the proposal. As I have pointed out, they added a passage in T4 that intends to stop the distribution of...

The funny thing is pnachtwey used the term in his own response(surprisingly reasonable) for roughly the first year, before all of a sudden becoming self-aware like an AI and decided to go on a personal crusade to destroy any dialogue at every mention of the term. It's been 7 years and I...

That additional phrase can open up the floodgate. On the pessimistic side, the ITTF could instead use that as an excuse to outlaw booster at will, say, if you don't pay up this amount of approval fee, I'm gonna ban you.

If you're young, and you get coaching, and you're serious about playing real ping pong, then it's perfectly fine to start with composite blades. The only concern when it comes to starting with those is cost.

It was unfortunate Sharara described it as racket-doping. Though the VOC part was bad, speedgluing was an equalizer, as some would have put it. One big argument over outlawing after-market booster is that it essentially puts those players from associations with lesser resources at a major...

Nice TO at 3:6 by Ito/Hirano in the 2nd game. Stopped the bleed, and disrupted the flow of CXT/SYS. The JNT coaches are now much more aggressive in calling TO. Not a good sign for CNT. Hirano played so freaking well in the 3rd game. Didn't miss any forehand at all. There were quite a few...
