This game is crazy

And what I'm trying to get you to consider is that it might not be that weird. There are going to be reasons for his nerves. You're right though, considering his accomplishments this could make him less nervous as he's already achieved so much. On the other hand his accomplishments might be...

How am I in any way comparing you and ML? You started off by saying that it's crazy how he doesn't have the confidence and you're wondering wtf is wrong with him. Then you seemed to change your mind by saying you understand the pressure. So, what is it you're trying to say? I also do not mean...

Well, if you say things like you don't know wtf is wrong with him and that it's crazy that he doesn't have the confidence etc then you're showing a lack of understanding. No one is taking anything too seriously, I'm just questioning your statements. Again, it's easy to sit here and speculate...

Despite his technical ability, he's still human. Imagine the pressure that he's under, some people are just more susceptible to this pressure and get more or less nervous. It's not crazy at all, you can't underestimate your opponent, he knows that he could lose to any of the players he's up...

Ma Long was and is the better player, could you explain how he was "so lucky"? As for Stefan, I didn't watch this particular game but he's well known for hiding his serves so props to the umpire doing something about it for once.

I am! The ceremony is freaky, pretty cool. Does anyone know when the table tennis will start to be shown? Surely not all of it will be on TV, anyone know a good site where it's streamed?

Tackles aren't really allowed in basketball are they so basketball is a wimp sport compared to football, soccer, rugby, boxing .. the list goes on. They're just different sports and taxing in different ways, table tennis is amazing in that at the top level it's taxing both physically and...

4 out of 5 rating for Baracuda Spinny, quite slow with good control, using it on my backhand and has been useful to improve my backhand loop. It has a high throw which takes some getting used to. I have this in max, it is quite heavy which is important to keep in mind as it can make your setup...

4 out of 5 rating for 3 star 40+ My local league uses these balls and I've had a decent experience with them, they don't seem to break too easily and seem to be relatively consistent, bounce does seem quite high. It seems quite hard, I've tested this by pressing my fingers into it and it won't...

Think about what you need to do differently with the current setup you have and why you lost. If someone has a slower game than you, you need to adapt and not rush your shots. Easily said I know because it does take some time and if you're playing a league match or a competition then you...

I can vouch for donic baracuda on BH, I love it, if you brush the ball well you can create ridiculous amounts of spin but like Carl says it isn't that fast and it is quite a hard rubber. This rubber has really helped me develop by bh. It has a really high throw angle (higher than tenergy) but...

I do this everytime I go and see him ;). This is why he likes the old bat I gave him so much because when he plays me I just stand back and lob.. or block his shots and let him hit them hard as much as he wants :).

First of all thank you all a ton for the nice responses, I shall let him know about this haha. So I think I need to clarify a bit about what kind of level the table tennis that he plays and the people he plays is. I've tried to improve his forehand, but he pretty much plays every single shot...

Thanks guys, my grandad has never really played seriously just for fun at this club and on cruises etc so he has never developed proper technique, so really I just want something that's simple and will do the job which his previous dead bat sort of did but I reckon pimples will suit his...

Hi guys, my grandad recently turned 80 and has been playing with a dead bat for a long time. I let him play with my old stiga allround classic with a tenergy 05 and stiga calibra lt sound. He loved it just because it was faster and I was just feeding him balls so it was easy for him to get the...

Yes! Seeing the ball spin off someone else's bat due to your spin is also super satisfying. Also the ball dipping or curving because of the spin.
