There's currently a FANG BO B2 blade on eBAY for £3.20 with a few days to go. Might be able to get it for a low-ish price. No, it's not my listing!

I'm using the BO wood version but wouldn't mind trying BO 2. Does anyone know if there's much difference between the two blades? I'm guessing BO 2 is just a bit faster.

Does anyone know why Eurosport are not bothering to cover this event? They always used to support and show the World Championships. It's a massive disappointment. Also, I'm curious to know what European countries are broadcasting this event on their normal TV channels? I guess Germany and...

Hi Chen, so what have got at the mo and are they different to what ttpro are currently offering? Also, and more importantly, are they cheaper in price?

I'm all in favour of the ball - the rallies in this tournament have been absolutely incredible. Probably best ever. Agree with MG re sour grapes - winners win, losers always find something to complain about.

Yes, it's a shame Adam is not involved - the Rio atmos would suit his commentary style. A lot of the UK commentators have been bland and just not very good - one made 3 basic mistakes in a single match. He certainly didn't have a tt background. The best one is Simon Reed - he's got a cool...

That makes perfect sense. Good to get some cheeky practice. The Europeans warmed up on red floor. One nil to China and they haven't even arrived in Rio yet!

I like the green floor..you can see the ball much better. Does anyone know if this will be the colour in Rio?

That is one strong line-up. It's clearly far more difficult to win a medal at the Japan Open than the Rio Olympics!

11-4 to Dima.

Nice one, TTD. Good to see some generosity and common sense.

You've got to feel sorry for the only other person who had the right results but lost out in this random draw. The odds for guessing this combo would have been huge. I think, as a one-off, he or she deserves a small runners-up prize. (No, it wasn't me.) Come on TTD, do the right thing.

Dan, another excellent podcast. Well done. After listening to most of them, there seems to be a common theme - these world-class stars do not have a lot of time or respect for the ITTF. Jan Ove spoke about them not discussing rule changes with the players and prize money going downhill fast...

When you're a world-class athlete you shouldn't be forced to play these meaningless events. Can you imagine Novak, Murray and Federer playing to 20 people? The top tt players need to get together and sort out a new contract! They deserve it.

As someone who plays with Hurricane rubbers, I'm really looking forward to your review.

Thanks for your comments. I didn't realize the conditions were iffy as well. That is so unprofessional. The ITTF site recently claimed the event was a massive success with TV ratings in China. That's brilliant. However, they didn't mention about the lack of spectators and poor atmosphere for...

The dust has now settled on the 2016 World Championships. There were some great matches and fantastic rallies to enjoy. However, there was one big disappointment:A lack of spectators. With the exception of the final (5,000 Chinese made the trip) there was hardly anybody watching in the...

How important is this competition? Just seen a bit of Ovtcharov match and it looks like about 20 people watching. It's a total waste of time and you've got to feel sorry for these pros. Whoever's in charge of promoting it... Over in Belgium, the legends are playing to a packed house and a...

I am hoping to buy from PROTT. Has anybody bought from them? Are they legit?

Here's a handful as there doesn't seem to be many questions at the moment. What are your personal thoughts about the new plastic ball? Do you know any players that really dislike them? Roughly speaking, what percentage of pro players would you say are using booster on their rubbers? What...
