haha no chance I'm a drinking horse u'd never catch my full potential unless I tanked a bottle of absinthe and I don't think I'd be playing table tennis after that :D

Ok I wasn't going to but I had my arm twisted :P

Bat higher than elbow, close bat angle. Where the ball is coming shouldn't matter, you just need to make sure you move quickly. When blocking it is vital to have a stable base and centre of gravity so you aren't needing to control any part of your body, you can solely focus on controlling the...

Alright I said I would, it's just me mucking around but if it fits the bill then use it :P it's a bit amateurish which is why I didn't use it for the stiga comp haha

Here's a video on my own channel from my trick shot muckaround session just for fun! haha

The real dependency is on your footwork. To play penhold you have a bigger forehand dependency on attack, do you have the footwork to keep up with a forehand dominant game? If not then stick with shakehand and develop a strong backhand ;)

Love the clips of Ma Long and Guoliang together, nice vid :)

I made a vid, if you want to see it then it should be on ITTF soon, pretty average I was just fooling around. I know Dan is going to enter so out of courtesy I won't post a link here. Hope some more people enter there have been some cool tricks so far :)

Not if it's not a sidespin serve, you'll find most players have practised enough to have their placement fairly well tuned with these things and it's not too difficult to control the direction of the ball even with more sidespin imparted on the ball.

Crazy, big effort by Gacina for the team!

Hahah, I duno how well that would go down :P

That's a good balance I think, start the week with a workout, evenly spaced runs over the week a handful of table tennis sessions, end the week with a workout then a day to recover. It's a good base plan :)

I would say it's to do with the fact that choppers have inverted foot stance and hence it's more natural to serve backhand to any angle of the table and be in a better position to defend than it is to serve forehand and then move into position, also they can serve backhand from the middle and...

Nice video, lots of great points :D

Haven't really seen Kaii in action for a while it seems. I'd still back him to win the final though even though he did have a bit of trouble with Chtchetinine in the semi.

Gota love Ma Lin, shame to see him retiring from the national team, he's down in history as one of the greats though I feel! :D

Don't worry guys, I promise if I end up playing Oh Sang Eun that I will record it :)

Yea I'll just film from an angle so you can't see the score and make it look like I won in the highlights :P GREAT IDEA CARL!! :D haha

If it comes down to it, then I won't be going out there planning to lose ;)

That'd be a shame, it'd be 2/3 of the way to a second grand slam if he can pull it off ;)
