I think you mean Li Tianyang. We feel his attacking intent is too strong—he doesn’t really play like a traditional chopper. Still, given that he came from amateur/commercial tournaments, doing this well at the Asian Championships is already quite good. There’s still a big gap between him and...

Chopping is just as entertaining a skill as topspin looping. My favorite chopper is Joo Sae-hyuk. Since the changes to the ball material and size, the men’s chopping style has become increasingly unsuited to world-class competition, while women’s choppers have shone.

When I was 11, I saw a live broadcast of Ma Lin and Wang Hao playing on TV. I thought they played so well, and I wanted to try it too. So I asked my parents to buy me a premade racket—one that didn’t require me to assemble the blade and rubbers myself. At school there were six tables without...

I didn’t expect the “Beijing team” meme to have already reached TTD—how embarrassing.

What a pity I can’t join this meetup. Although I’ve never been to the Netherlands, I really like it there. I’ve seen online that the scenery is beautiful, and the people there play football very well too. Hope you all have a great time:)

Table tennis is a sport where the mind matters more than the body. There are many ways to win, and everything is built on control: controlling your body, your footwork, your racket, your power, the ball's speed, spin, placement, and even your opponent. I’ve met many players who love to use...

FZD ALC is widely regarded as the first blade of choice for players transitioning from inner carbon to outer carbon.

If you’re already used to the Butterfly blade, I’d recommend the Tomokazu Harimoto ALC. Even though it’s an inner-carbon blade, it still delivers that distinct Butterfly feel. Compared with the Viscaria, it offers higher forgiveness and slightly lower speed, which suits your current playing...

After WCQ announced that he would not compete in this tournament and SYS was eliminated, ticket prices dropped to 29% of the original price. However, just because WCQ appeared in the spectator seats for one time, ticket prices immediately returned to the original price of 2,778 RMB. In China...

I guess it depends on the brand that has signed the player. If the lens is placed on the palm side, the brand’s logo can’t be seen. If the brand doesn’t require it, or the player isn’t signed with a brand, then they most likely choose their grip based on personal preference and habit.

K3 is absolutely one of the best rubbers, but its lifespan is just too short.

As a fan of Zhang Jike, considering his injuries, I sincerely hope he won’t compete in professional tournaments anymore. Maybe playing exhibition matches would be fine. He should just focus on what he’s doing now—developing more young players and helping them make it into provincial and national...

Approach every match with your reason and logic. That way, even if you lose, you can still gain experience, and you can rationally think about what weaknesses you need to work on next. If you face matches with emotion, then whether you win or lose, all you’ll remember afterward are your...

Everyone makes good points, but I think that beyond all that, the ability to recover quickly from injury is also a kind of talent. Of course, so is being less prone to injury under the same training intensity.

Zero Degree No. 2 is beginner-friendly. It dries slowly and doesn’t ball up easily. SUKE No. 2 is cheap and works well, I usually use it. But it dries a bit fast, so it’s more suited to experienced users. DHS No. 15 is said to enhance elasticity, but I haven’t actually tried it.

You’re welcome—I’m glad if it helps. It’s hard to apply someone else’s experience directly to ourselves. It can only help us narrow down the options. And I’ve always thought that changing rubbers might have a bigger impact than changing blades—provided the blades have the same structure. So...

Interesting, because just yesterday I replied to a post about a similar situation on another forum.Here’s my reply: Nervousness isn’t the problem. The biggest problem is giving up thinking when you’re nervous. In a match, the worst thing is to keep your head down and just play—after losing a...

Yes. Perhaps there are more children in China who start professional table tennis training at a very young age—maybe at 10, maybe at 6, or even at 4. The best few dozen of them might make it onto city- or provincial-level professional teams. But the remaining tens of thousands of players who...

Yes, I saw your message and replied to it late yesterday. Sorry it took me a while—I was putting my child to bed. As I mentioned in my reply, if the day you arrive happens to be one of my days off, I’d be happy to meet up with you.:D And I’ll try my best to take you to a table tennis store or...

Totally understand. And yeah, a year is plenty of time. Better to get fit and be ready than to rush. Looking forward to hearing about your progress when the time comes! :D
