At least you got in a quality counterloop ;) haha tricky serves though he has great variation disguise.

Well the great thing about short pips is it's ability to take spin off the ball, it's all about getting the angle right and trajectory so you aren't giving an easy ball. Takes quite a while to get the more touchy stuff right, opening soft just takes good touch and finding the right amount of...

Butterfly Challenger is good, TSP Spectol Speed. Short pips is usually good for changing the pace of the ball, combining different ball placements sometimes fast sometimes soft and moving between a quick ball and a dead ball. A lot of short pips players will try and setup to receive a slow...

Absolutely. It is in the trial stages as we debate about it. I spoke to delegates at the World Teams after the ITTF meetings and to Samsonov regarding some of the things which were discussed to 'further the sport' and this was one of them and it has been confirmed that they are now in trial...

It's a well known fact, if you win an olympic medal in any sport in most countries then you are likely to receive more funding for your sport and also become more attractive to sponsors. I agree with NextLevel, table tennis is definitely falling under competition from other sports. This is...

Finally! :) looks like you guys had fun! :D

Bout time haha even I'm back in the game so I was waiting for you to show up ;)

Starting to slow down with the video haha this one is a tad late. Didn't video today I have a lot on my plate and some chronic mouth pain!

The game is on the brink of potentially changing again as ITTF continue on their endeavour to alter and slow the game, reducing it's complexities to try and bring a simpler game for spectators to understand and watch. Photo source: London 2012: Feng Li/Getty Images Europe The latest proposal...

Ah, you're right. Thanks :D

How about I ask Dan myself and see :D

I could but I don't know how many videos I'm going to do haha.

Haha yep that's right. Years of coaching have left me a little flat footed at the best of times. I'm also not very flexible in my legs so bending my knees has to be forced. Definitely something I need to work on :D

Day 6. I would love any suggestions from you guys about what you think might make the videos better to watch or more interesting. At the moment I've just been focusing on getting the format right with the audio and trying to keep them shorter and talk less haha
