But he forgets that there was a time when China came to Europe to learn from Europe how to do X and Y. He parodies what Europe does by forgetting that Europe has also been greatly influenced by Chinese coaching and success. Just about all the top players in Europe have been to China or have...

A lot of assumptions in here. Suds79's point is that there is an amazing amount of investment in the sport both in terms of financial and human capital. The top athletes in the rest of the world play soccer. In China, they can play table tennis. And you don't remember the ones that got...

Amazing final two points and two forehands from Ma Long. I thought the Chinese were supposed to stay close to the table... LOL.

IT's this drill with Waldner: youtu.be/DIzW16bITyo?t=125 Note the wrist action that produces the heavy whip. I don't see you doing that.

Remember, swing fast but have a slow ball. It will get better with time. Also, spend more time on hitting a quality ball and less on movement. Sometimes, try to go all out and hit a massively spinny ball or a massively fast ball. It is almost as if you are unwilling to do a Rambo loop or a...

The good thing is that you are moving well. The bad thing is that you are still hitting the ball way too fast and not putting enough into rotation, especially on the opening topspin. I think it is partly because your whip is not enough, but I think the real problem is that you do not realize...

All the good stuff happened before the 10th minute. The rest was mostly bad. You need to play more like JeffM - learn to put excess energy into the rotation of the ball and use your whip in your wrist better. You are over compensating with racket angle and this will lift too many balls off...

Here is me on the other end of it - it is not as uncommon as you think, though it is not easy to deliberately loop a ball that high and spinny. youtu.be/f5X0ZJaIrQM?t=382

The video is still private, Boogar!

During the Rio Olympics, China, the best team in the world had a private facility built and setup to mimic the playing environment in the Olympic playing halls. So you see, they didn't just come in with the best players. They also spent more money getting those players prepared for the...

Despite the superficial thinking (BS) and the inaccurate statements (CR*P) often pushed around by this Youtuber, this video is actually good for a certain level of TT player and I shared it with my students yesterday. So I can understand why Ray posted it.

Why do you think I post my highlights and not the 99 other shots in the match I missed given the same exact shot from my opponent?

OSP, I remember you tried to smash my loops. What was your success rate?

My best shot of the day, I think was this 5th ball here. This is classical NL - terrible forehand form, no body rotation, shoulder power loop to win the point: youtu.be/6KWaT-ydPiI?t=830 I usually don't like to post rallies that I lose, but this one shows you the problem with playing a...

Thought everyone had forgotten... So I wake up on Sunday morning in the mood to do nothing. But I am feeling relatively okay if my knees hold up. I turn on my laptop and look at the club camera and see my temp student playing a short pips guy who he lost to on Monday I think. I called into...

When I play with overgrip, I know that a significant part of my hand, especially my index finger and thumb, is located on the blade face. Others may differ, but I find that I often don't wrap the higher parts of my blade closest to the rubber with overgrip in order to get some wood sensation...

Good stuff. Would relax more and try to make the ball go slower and with more spin. I know in your club you have all these chinese rubber counterlooping kids that will kill that ball once they break 2000, but in the real world, people block slow and heavy topspin off the table.

I just sent him a WhatsApp message so if he forgets, shame on him!

A lot of stuff in the Super League is done to facilitate faster play so that they can stay within a reasonable TV schedule. Tennis is looking for ways to adapt to such demands and I expect at some point that table tennis will also follow suit. The 7 point decider is interesting and fun and...

Not that subtle - How many people use FX-P on the list? I just find it amazing that such a high level player uses soft rubbers.
