So what's the right equipment for Dima that would catapult him to world top 3? China's mythical blue sponge FH rubber?

He should be using Bluefire M1 Turbo but he is stubborn and loves Tenergy. Dima's forehand acceleration is tremendous. There aren't many people in China if any with more powerful forehands.

BTW, I am being silly here.

Actually, Ma Long doesn't use pure power against defenders. Who are you talking about is ZJK. It's pretty usual to push back a chop from Ma.

No one uses pure power - it's just a myth. But the best guy against chop by a mile is Xu Xin. I think LGL didn't want to bore Chinese viewers with Joo vs XX and he wanted to challenge Ma Long and ZJK with the first two matches. They both delivered in the end.

Ah, Timo Boll vs Joo Se Hyuk, World Cup 2011... One of my favourite matches of all time.

Boll and Steger lead 2-1 over Youngsik and Lee Sang Su!

The Omega Man · Aug 17, 2016

The Germans are always one point short of getting things done, it seems it's not meant to be for the Germans.

The Omega Man · Aug 17, 2016

Holy crap, rule of acceleration happening? or injury time out?

fanTT · Aug 17, 2016

Timo's "spine/neck bone has slipped off" so he can't rotate his head. or somehting like that

5 minutes of injury timeout passed. Left only 10min.

Cornel · Aug 17, 2016

And germans have beaten the koreans in doubles! Incredible!

The Omega Man · Aug 17, 2016

They did it, they freaking did it!!!!! Dima has to finish this now

Edit: Boll next? I don't think he can close this deal, it's up to Dima

NextLevel · Aug 17, 2016

I may be wrong but I will always trust Timo vs. chop. He just plays fundamentally well.

TableTennisDaily · Aug 17, 2016

What a close game! Timo Boll and Bastian Steger put Germany into a 2-1 lead over Korea with a 3-2 win over Youngsik and Lee Sang Su!

fanTT · Aug 17, 2016

old school match guys

Timo vs Joo

ade14212 · Aug 17, 2016

Dima can try his hands on Hurricane 3 orange sponge for his forehand. He can ask ML or ZJK for it considering that ML had given to him blades. Imagine Dima with boosted Hurricane. Even the former and the current king would sweat in front of that FH.

BTW, I want Boll to lose so we can have LSS vs Dima. My money is on Dima but I want Korea to bring medals.

Don't think so. I'd say he pulled his neck's muscles.

As NL have said, it's unlikely that TB would lose to a chopper.
