Men's Event: Gold - China Silver - German Bronze - Japan Women's Event: Gold - China Silver -Singapore Bronze - Korea

I have been using this set up for over a year now: Blade: Hurricane King 655 ST Fh: Dhs Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge Bh: Tin Arc 3

I think it's no 3

to all 3: In your personal opinions, what advice can you give to all the Non-Chinese top table tennis players to be able to catch up with the top Chinese players?

I would like to know what blade and rubbers is he currently using? How long he has been using this set up? And what do you think about the new plastic ball? And lastly , how many more years do you see yourself playing at this high level and what will you/or hope to do next if you ever retire...

Awesome rallies, thanks for sharing this video Sarah. That guy in blue does have amazing fast FH, suprised his hand doesn't come off :P and it's funny how he cleaned his rubbers by rubbing/scarping them on the table's edge.

Liu Guo Liang to Ma Long on most matches," give him some points, let him win 1 or 2, keep it close, make it entertaining." and," Okay that's enough, you can finish him off now !" lol, just joking :P

wow, Shibaev almost made a comeback there. Ovtcharov's backhand block is amazingly fast and accurate :)

sick point! can do without the second part of the video though.

I find the short video helpful enough. I don't own his actual video. I agree with Ahtu as well, deception is key in serving. And one of the best for deceptive serve is the pendulum serve in my opinion. Depending where and when you made contact with the ball, you can create an under spin, no spin...

Thank you Giorgos :) the apron was my wife's idea :)

the obvious clues would be: you hit the ball with the same strength and spin as you normally do, and yet the speed and spin it generate is less than it usually is.

If you clean the dust off the rubber after you play with a damp soft sponge, or an actual rubber cleaner, and kept the bat and rubber from direct sun-light or extreme heat or cold. It should last you at least 6 months to 1 year before you have to change. but this rubber life-span also depend on...

I find this video to be pretty good in making you understand serving and receiving serves better:

yes, she speaks Chinese at some part of this video, and her pronunciation is very good, she said something about taking classes (probably Chinese) after her table tenis practice. I am impressed.

Great competition. My latest and last entry (3rd video), just having fun :) and may the best most popular trick shot win :)

put one layer wbg(water base glue) on the sponge, one layer of glue on the bat, let them dry completely, ( the glue will become somewhat transparent when dry, usually about 10 minutes) then stick them together, make sure you got the position right the first time, wbg has no room for mistake. if...

Use voc free water-base glue to stick your tensor rubber to your blade. If you use speed glue which stretches the sponge of the rubber, it might make the sponge of your tensor rubber separate from the top sheet. Or lessen the life-span of your tensor rubbers.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Yeah, I am tired of driving around in the Jakarta traffic-jams to get to the table tennis sport halls to play so I converted the house living room into a decent space for playing table tennis, and friends from the Indonesian table tennis...

I was practicing for this shot:
