  1. It's Official | Timo Boll is the New World Number 1!

    I think this month's world ranking releases have only increased the uncertainties and lack of confidence people have in the potential for the system's future. As points expire and are replaced this system is going to constantly be in motion I think and I believe that reduces its potential to be...
  2. How Can We Protect Female Players From Larry Nasser Types In Table Tennis?

    USATT has now elevated Safesport to one of it's highest priority policies. Now all table tennis coaches who are not safesport compliant and registered with background check have been struck from the coaching registry until they are compliant, all officials the same and as of the beginning of...
  3. Butterfly Timo Boll ALC Blade Review | Featuring Timo Boll

    They will likely be on Joola USA or USATT youtube. I need to get it together with the USATT reviews this year, I have a ton of equipment mounting lol No haven't tried the Aruna OFF+ yet
  4. Butterfly Timo Boll ALC Blade Review | Featuring Timo Boll

    I actually didn't try that many, this was one of the first setups I tried out and I instantly found it to be better suited to what I was looking for, so I decided to start using it. I actually just got the Rhyzer 43 and 48 delivered this evening so I'll be reviewing both of them - as well as the...
  5. Butterfly Timo Boll ALC Blade Review | Featuring Timo Boll

    It's a good combination for me at the moment, I decided to reduce the speed a touch and add more feeling and I think I have a setup which will work for me for a while :)
  6. Butterfly Timo Boll ALC Blade Review | Featuring Timo Boll

    He didn't really say too much, I think he found it reasonable, it was Tibhar MX-P at the time, unsure if he's changed or not since then. He could generate spin with a frying pan if he wanted haha
  7. Butterfly Timo Boll ALC Blade Review | Featuring Timo Boll

    Thanks appreciate it :D I'm using the Aruna OFF with Rhyzm-P forehand and Rhyzm425 backhand
  8. Butterfly Timo Boll ALC Blade Review | Featuring Timo Boll

    Nice job Dan, dream come true for you after all these years haha remember the interview showdown we had back in 2011? :P Good work getting him a little out of breath too, he gets a ridiculous amount of spin on the ball in such a compact stroke. I actually blocked a little for him when we were...
  9. I'd Like to contact "TTProvider"

    He's been pretty inactive for a long time, he's one of the old school YouTubers for table tennis. I doubt you will get in touch with him via his channel he probably hasn't even looked at it for a few years at least. Unlike some of the other ones from that generation I don't know his identity so...
  10. How can I copy Ma Long's playing style?

    Alpay I only STARTED training properly when I was 18 and a half and I went to 2 world championships. So if I can do that then for sure you can achieve your goals. Also with this new world ranking system you need to participate in a great number of tournaments if you want to be ranked in world...
  11. Shocking Interview with a Table Tennis Fan on World Ranking Reform

    I've seen a few renditions of this but I thought this one was brilliant haha
  12. It's Official | Dimitrij Ovtcharov is the New World Number 1!

    I think it's going to take at least 3-4 months before we start seeing if this system has any potential to accurately represent who should be in what places. Right now the system is flooded with world ranked players. Once the inactive players come out of the system it will narrow down and become...

  15. Tape Roll Table Tennis Trickshots

    I decided to do a 'part 2' of my first three tape roll tricks from instagram. These videos are both recent, you can decide whether you like the forehand side or backhand side ones better ;)
  16. Who has the world's best backhand?

    What do you want to know? haha he's a really awesome dude. I cancelled my flight from Prague to Dusseldorf before World Champs and went with him by car instead. There was a lot of loud music and fast speed once we got into Germany haha
  17. Who has the world's best backhand?

    Haha I won't get into his personal habits :P He told me when he was younger he was lazy and always used to get stuck when moving out to the wide forehand, so he would always come back in and play backhand off the forehand corner on the next ball - that was his answer when I asked him how he...
  18. Who has the world's best backhand?

    He's a very hands-based player so he doesn't do much footwork, focuses a lot on close table countering or fixed position further back from the table. Also he does a lot of creative serve receive practice. I probably won't see him for a little while, I was training with his team in Ostrava at the...
  19. Are styles conforming and hurting the sport?

    I wrote a new blog post about my thoughts and some thoughts which were shared by me in discussion with some table tennis legends while I was in Germany earlier this year. What I write about is the way the game is changing and styles are being phased out, players are conforming towards one...
