LOL Gilbert! :p

I think its ok, but the blue color makes it a bit hard to see the ball on camera... I really want to see a black floor with an orange ball!!! :D

My best ball for a match is Nittaku's 3*** Premium. The best balls for training is Gambler's Platinum balls. The best balls for robots are Gambler's Gold balls.

LOL, there is no boosters that are ITTF approved. All boosting must be done at the factory which the rubber is produced at, this is what the ITTF allows.

Yeah, they probably already applied the booster to their sponges before the camera started recording, but that is not shown in the video.. so no evidence.

For me it's Ma Lin and like a lot of the above reason on him, I just wanted to add that for me he is the best all-around penhold player and was one of the players who amazed me with his quickness.

I've never seen the shot done before this video, but I did see this video a while back, hehe. It's just like a skid, only much more awesome! :D

The best player to me right now is definitely Ma Long. ;) His game is engineered to get the most power out of every stroke, and I really like how he uses his body when playing. His game looks very smooth!

Hehe, I hear this all the time when I tell people I play Table Tennis... Usually they say, "Your sport is Ping Pong!?!" And I say, "Yep!" Then they say, "That's not a sport" :mad: I always try to get these people to play with me. I explain the rules to them, we play to 11, ball has to bounce...

I know.. what I meant was, can Xu's serve appear "not hidden" to an umpire, but to his opponent it is hidden? And the reverse can his serve be "not hidden" to the opponent, but to an umpire it appears hidden? Also, if Timo can't see it at all times, why doesn't he complain? I sure would, if...

The most I've won was $50 in the USA... I was at 1700 level... early intermediate.

Very cool! It was very interesting to watch, and I'm going to watch again as its a good education to watch the pros in slow motion! :D

Welcome! :)

That video proves nothing. Did you see him apply booster to his rubber? Nope. There is absolutely no evidence in that video, except for some glue bottles sitting on a table...

Hey guys, I recently switched to Chinese rubber after playing Euro rubber for pretty much all my table tennis life. I started with some cheap chinese and then just used Euro. So after I've gotten better, I'm trying Chinese rubber, but I'm having some difficulty adjusting. Please, can you...

Welcome to the forum John! I'm pretty new myself, and I'm really enjoying this place already! :)

Hey all, This question is directed towards those of you who use(or have used) a booster/tuner on your rubber. I have seen lots of people talking about boosters, but nobody(that I've seen) has said that they give good "speed glue" effect. So my questions are: Which Booster/Tuner do you use...

Wow, this is why umpires give me a bad taste in my mouth when I see things like this.. Since there was video evidence, then it absolutely should have been Ai's point.. The ump is a stubborn fool who refused to acknowledge his mistake... :( I do think on the higher levels video replay...

Interesting thread... I think before we can determine if Xu Xin's serve is illegal, we need to have this defined: "And it shall not be hidden" Hidden from what? The opponent? What if the opponent can see it, but an ump can't? Xu Xin's arm is definitely not hiding anything, it's his...

Awesome photos and thanks for the translation!!! He's my favorite player too! :)
