www.ttnpp.com Just look for the ball with Ding Ning on the box's cover.

Liang played in last WTTC and is still the top 2 in his generation.

Okay. Maybe we should make it something more interesting like a bet or some charity donation, but there is now way, absolutely no way, a 25 year old like Fang Bo, should be selected over a 27 year old like Xu Xin, on the basis of potential. Liang Jingkun or Ling Dingshuo or one of the other...

Then that will mean that the team is no longer a meritocracy. XX placed third in stage 1 of the trials and 2nd in stage 2 of the trials. You should stop sending someone when he is no longer a good player. He is not Hao Shuai. He is still the 3rd best player on the CNT. XX earned his 10...

It's just not the losses to foreigners, I mean, can't you even look at the rankings of the players they lost to? And since you don't want to look at the number of matches or the average ranking of the opponents, it becomes wasted. Xu Xin has his issues and his loss to CCY during the Olympic...

I think that says it all and shows how funny your original post was when it concluded after seeing that that Fang Bo deserves a selection when Xu Xin has not been selected.

Out of how many matches and to which opponents? Number of matches lost is a number, not a statistic. The idea that Fang Bo is better on an international level than Xu Xin is borderline ridiculous.

The ball spins at least like the Nittaku ball. Maybe this match will restore some of your faith?

I am also a little rusty since I don't play as much. Seamless bounces higher which has an effect as well. This ballistic really good and will bring back a lot of table tennis fun.

The spin is likely more than you think it is, I personally have to get used to them. The balls are amazingly durable, almost like celluloid, possibly moreso.

Okay, people. Bottom line is that other than Ma Long and Fan, who would you take in a match against any non-Chinese player? I thought so. Kill the academic discussion please.

Thanks, Carl. Ma Long has destroyed Freitas and Dima many times. But I remember that the last two times, Freitas took a game off Ma Long. The first time he did it, the first 3 games were going as usual, but Freitas found a level in the 4th game especially that changed the tone of the match...

Yes, but when the original poster (Filip) said "unexpected opponent", he was talking abut how solid XX generally was, not saying that he can't lose to anyone at all. Mizutani played Ma Long well at the Olympics.

Mizutani is world #5/6, that is not someone unexpected.

Here is a match with the new ball:

It wears its outer surface much better than a Nittaku plus. This is a great and durable ball. I hit the net post in a third ball drive and it survived and played quite a few games I don't like how it takes my spin but I will accept that because of the consistency of the quality.

It works until the ball gets hit by you. Ma Long does Waldner type blocking when he is in the mood to do it, the problem is that you can't live and die by it as one the opponent locks onto your balls, you are just target practice.

Most people who make the comparison are comparing them to the crappy DHS 40+ balls. That said, the spin effect of these balls is reasonably good. I don't see them being any worse than Nittaku but I will get more practice in today.

You underestimate how much the game has changed as a result of technical and physical evolution. Who played like Kenta with the older ball and was a legit threat to beat the Chinese?
