I tried to do this serve during last week's serve practice. 8-9 times out of 50-60 attempt. And only 2 was as fast (at least similarly fast) as Sakai's. With practice I could improve it a lot for sure, but it would still have a high fault ration and it's quite predictable after the first time.

Actually Can was the least amazing pro player Dan challenged. But it was a great job Dan, you improved a lot!

Hi, you should train your footwork. You have to make small moves to be in correct position. Also, you have to try to be more aggressive on the FH side. This doesn't mean that you have to loop-kill everything. Instead of the FH blocks you have to counterloop with a smaller swing than you do on...

CCTV will stream it for sure and after a while they will be on the internet. If I remember correctly, CCTV 5 streams TT.

It was a very bad idea from Dandoy to don't reply. They ruin their own reputation. Usually suppliers help you with any problem because if the customers are pleased they will come back.

Ok, then these my tips for the 1st place in the groups. I think Shanghai, Shandong, Beijing and the PLA are stronger than other teams. I would say the PLA and Beijing are the strongest teams, but Shandong can be a threat if Liu Dingshuo and ZJK play well.

ESN rubbers shrink. You can try Fastarc G-1, as it's made in Japan. Hurricane 3 definitely stays the same, but if you don't like Genesis, probably you won't like Hurricane. Why do you reglue often?

Sometimes DHS rubbers' topsheet peels off if you boost them heavily. Which is funny, because DHS rubbers usually need to be boosted. To avoid this problem, players apply the the booster through a glue layer. VOC glue might cause the same problem as boosters. But because you used WBG, this isn't...

My tips for the round robin: Group A: Shanghai Group B: Shandong Group C: Sichuan Group D: PLA

Well, DHS has more quality problems than ESN/BTY, but this is strange. You might be just incredibly unlucky to get two bad rubber. Did you use water based or VOC glue?

Usually the manufacturers give higher control rating to the more forgiving and softer sponged rubbers. So when you see a rubber with high control rating, then it probably won't be very fast, nor spinny. Sriver is an excellent example.

Today I could go to training after a while. I didn't felt myself really well, my illnesses left me exhausted and 4.5 hour (two separate sessions) of training in a hot room isn't the best way to rest. But outserving a first league player (many times) can pump up your mood :)

Wong Chun Ting's and Xue Fei's style is modern enough. However I don't think Xue Fei will be world number one at any time. His footwork seems a little sluggish sometimes (compared to other chinese players) and I can't see enough fire in him. Still, Liu Guoliang said that he has a better backhand...

I've found this in another thread: Zhang Yining vs Lucjan Blaszczyk

In Hungary women's first league players are estimated to be equal to men's second league players. At least their playing power was estimated like this in an all-league handicap tournament. But my teammate girl who is around fourth league level will play next year in women's second league.

Ok, I will see a doctor sometime. Just for being accurate: it vanished during the day when I tried to find a comfortable position for a little rest. I've found it, didn't feel any pain and when I moved a little again (I wanted to drink a little) I noticed that the pain is completely gone.

Women can't loop as powerfully as men. By powerful I mean both spinny and fast. Because of that a close to table counterattacking style is more among women than men (we can see that it's very effective among men too, but I think it's more common that a man must go further from the table). To...

We have all the teams and players's list?

I think the T2APAC league is very good for women's table tennis. I rarely spent time watching women's tt. Simply I didn't found too interesting the 'close to the table bang bang kind of game'. But the T2APAC did two thing: 1. It's a mixed event, if you want a full experience, you can't skip the...

Thank goodness, the pain is gone. It might have been a pinched nerve, because it disappeared as sudden as it came when I finally found a good position. I would go to a doctor, but without a referral it would take a lot of time and tripping without a guarantee that a specialist would see it...
