  1. Re-gluing rubbers : when does it become too many times?

    I never knew that this was possible. Every day is a learning day after all:)
  2. Lack of self-awareness when serving illegally

    And that is fine for most matches. But it's the trouble starts when an opponent has problems with the serve, not the action per se. He then takes the opportunity to complain about the serve in order to make the receive easier. I've seen this scenario many a time.
  3. Question about the rubber rules

    Basically it's the referee's decision on the day
  4. Question about the rubber rules

    In grey areas of TT regulations such as this case, referees will apply a commonsense judgement depending on the circumstances.

  10. Belgium League 2017/2018

    Chris Doran does it again I've watched Chris play from he was a young lad. It's extraordinary the amount of times he brings back matches from being behind.

    OK, got it.
  12. Timo Boll Insane Dive! In or Out?

    The net assembly It does not matter, The metal base and net mounting are all part of the net assembly. 2.2.1 The net assembly shall consist of the net, its suspension and the supporting posts, including the clamps attaching them to the table.
  13. Timo Boll Insane Dive! In or Out?

    I was replying to Jamessmith description above. That sequence is one of those more obscure circumstances. I only picked up on it when someone asked this question a couple of years ago here on TTD. Basically, ball hits A's side of the table then somehow reverses direction to bounce on the net...
  14. Timo Boll Insane Dive! In or Out?

    You are wrong. Ask another umpire if you wish to challenge me on the issue.
  15. Timo Boll Insane Dive! In or Out?

    If the circumstances were as you described, then it is Timo's point.
  16. Best angle to record training?

    Do both at different times. In other words, 10 mins from one angle then 10 mins from another. Remember to record at a fast speed so that you can view in slow motion.
  17. Best angle to record training?

    More tournaments played equal better chance of higher ranking As Tropical said, the ITTF is bringing our sport's ranking system up to date to sort of reflect what other similar sports are doing. That is, to reward participation. I'm sure that there will be 'adjustments' over time including...
  19. Happy New Year Everyone! What's your resolution?

    2018 - It's all about health and fitness. All else is secondary Happy New Year to all. 2017, due to health issues, was a write-off for me as a player. I am now much improved, in fact dramatically improved thanks to the wonderful UK National Health Service (NHS). 2018, Local league and the...
  20. App for Table Tennis Exercises! iOS and Android

    I notice from the website that Keith Knox (from Belfast, Northern Ireland) is listed as the developer. Assuming that it's the same person, he used to be quite active player in the UK during the mid-noughties. I think he is an Irish international, which would make him USATT >2500.
