If Ma Long wins the Olympic Gold, it will be a step closer to be included in the sport's all time greats. Players to be remembered for their achievements, as well as for their style and their attitude. Players like Waldner, Wanq Liqin come to mind, and also Timo Boll, Joo Sae Hyuk and Kreanga...

OSP is now offering a new line of 4 blades, the carbon versions of their most popular models! CRW stands for Carbon Reinforced Wood, and so we have: Expert CRWi UNI ALL++ Virtuoso CRWi UNI OFF Ultimate 3CRW UNI OFF Martin CRW UFS OFF++ OSP says that after experimenting for about 3 years...

Also, you end up advertising your competitors products. If I see a Zutterfly sponsored player playing with Zenergy, I might think that he is a great player so Zenergy must be a good rubber if he's playing with it. But in the back of my mind there's the possibility that he's playing with that...

What I find strange for top players like Fan Zhedong, is that apparently Stiga can't make him a blade that he likes. I mean he probably uses a custom made Viscaria anyway, so at some point he had to sit down with Butterfly R&D and make a blade to his exact preferences and specifications. He is...

Thank you for the comments! It was a low budget project so the objective was to make it look as cool as we can, with the lowest cost. The whole thing cost about €150 - €170, (excluding the table of course! :) ). But I really like your ideas! If you are interested, I could make a tutorial on...

Brabhamista, I agree with you but it's easier calling them Chinese and European. Ok, "Korean loop" makes sense (or doesn't make sense in the same way that "Chinese loop" do). Straight arm and bent arm loop as terms have their own problems, since not even Ma Long counter loops with a straight arm...

Ok, lots of comments I would like to make. Let's take it from the beginning... NextLevel, I think you missed my point. Yes, maybe Timo opens the angle of his arm a bit more when playing a chopper, and of course Ma Long doesn't counterloop over the table with a straight arm. My point is that the...

Hey guys, I wanted to share with you a fun project I did a little while ago! I wanted to give our club's training hall a little of the glamour of the great table tennis venues I see in photos and videos all over the world. So I decided to make a display table to use for the team's championship...

This is a unique shot! Also I don't think it's an exhibition, it looks like a real game to me (I don't know if it is important :) ). I'm not going to compare it to anything Waldner did, but still wow!

I will have to disagree with you. But first, I was curious as what Timo does when playing a chopper. Very conveniently, someone posted this match in another thread. It is clear that Timo's hand is never straight, even when playing a chopper. In comparison, here is Ma Long doing multiball...

I used to have a straight(ish) arm forehand, using a low throw euro-jap rubber (Calibra tour M). Then, for about 4 months I focused my practice on my backhand, mostly playing shots with a lot of wrist involved, very close or over the table. This messed up my timing for the forehand, and being...

But.. but... I'm 1m86 and I want to use that technique... :(

Definitely doesn't look like a beginner's serve to me! Your stance looks good, you have a nice, fluid motion from your serving hand, and a good length in your serves. Some of them look actually pretty good, so in my opinion you should work on consistently producing some of the better serves from...

Great doubles point from that game at 17:12! If the video doesn't start there (which most probably won't), just go at that time manually.

I am using Revolution 3 and I'm very satisfied with it. The rubbers stick well to the blade, but maybe the biggest advantage for me is that it is relatively easy to remove the glue from the rubber. If the sponge cooperates, and you have somewhat thick layers it may even come out in one piece! I...

I think Zhang Jike is going to win this one.

Price further reduced to €110! C'mon guys, this is a great blade in a very good price!

Bump!

Hi rmpelc, the price of the Viscaria is 38€ (about 27£), including shipping to England. Weight of the blade is 81gr. Bigger pics here -> https://www.flickr.com/gp/132287823@N04/p4u066

I thought I'd share a picture of Fan Zhedong's blade, that might help clear the mystery about his equipment a bit. This is from the Asian Championships, in the semi-final against Chuang Chih Yuan. It is clear that this is not an Infinity, as one can count 7 layers, 5 wood and two black ones...
