Very nice. He made it look easy.

Great looking game. I might try it at my club. The thing is though that TT loses much of it's features that make it so versatile. 1 The area needed is much bigger, thus can't fit into many of small social clubs barrooms etc. Think badminton type area. 2 The 8 players that could be using those...

It's even worse in USA. None of the players have native names.

Both of you are long time Firehand users. Maybe you should say why you changed to the ZLF.

I don't know how long since you've played, but if you used the 38mm ball then the new plastic balls will be quite a shock. Since you can get MarkV locally at a good price, use it for both sides of your blade. Mark V is still the standard used to compare and judge other rubbers, simply because...

So MaLong speaks English. The accent sounded very straight forward and not like JackieChan, to me at least. Interesting that racket sport professionals tend to have another bat and ball sport that they are good at. Also someone needs to do some further post processing and get rid of that yellow...

Request of the umpire that he summon the referee.

The general guide to umpires is that they defer to what the players agree to. Every professional player knows this guidance. In this case, most players would have given Jun the benefit of the doubt if they were unsure. The umpire would have given the point to Jun even if he (the umpire) thought...

Sorry, that ball was clearly out. I don't care what his explanation was, that youngster knew that it was not an edge. He wanted that great unexpected win and claimed the point. Unfortunately for him, no matter what he does in the future, this video will haunt him for the rest of his career and...

Well so much for the bigger, slower ball bringing about longer rallies.

It can be for all sorts of reasons. I remember the English Open in 1998 was held in some way-out place in Kent or Essex, miles away from any decent public transport. Of course, hardly anyone attended.

They aren't thinking anymore about plastic balls. Like it or not, they have already moved over to plastic totally. We are just in the bedding-in period.

HB is different in overall tactics as a decent hb has much more spin. Think of this sandpaper bat as equivalent to very thin sponge inverted that is severely limited in spin and on a slow defense blade. In fact, maybe the WCPP should experiment with a 1.1mm inverted on a defense blade. That...

Congratulations to Andrew Baggaley. Now let's hope that Table tennis England and Matchplay organisers can get together and sort out the scheduling for next year. This year on the same weekend, we had National Junior League, County Cadet Champs, Veterans British League and Veterans National...

Cssc If you are a member of the CSSC the biannual CSSC games are 17-18 September 2015 http://www.cssc.co.uk/CSSCGames/CSSCGames2015.aspx

I haven't checked the exact regulation but that table would be illegal (at national level) today as it doesn't allow for wheelchair access. I think the legs have to be 18inches from the end of the table. In fact, even regular players would be banging their feet and knees against those legs.

Perhaps it's that as IT/scientists/engineers we are always on a project of some sort. I like TT as it combines technical(equipment) and physical aspects in such an accessible (cheap?) way. Each TT match can be regarded as a project. It has a clear beginning and end. But in between, we can apply...

One more engineer here. Electronic/Communications, but these days I am more a project manager for anything.

Dan, what is a likess?
