going to china for 2 months training 18y/o by my self

Actually their power, like everybody's power comes from the quantity and quality of their training. Obviously there are setups which you can find more confortable with buy imho when you get used to tensor rubbers after many years it's very difficult to get used to a tacky rubber (personal experience, I haven't even played that much time, but I found H3 orange sponge really unplayable, a chopping rubber would have been faster).

Also, Chinese usually starts young with Chinese rubbers si they are tuned to tacky rubbers at a very early time. So you should just stick to what your coach tells you and what you are comfortable with. I agree with elrigo that the quantity and quality of training is what sets them apart.

Agreed. The #19 sponged version of H3 was so disappointing slow I assigned it a negative value and called it a black hole of a rubber. Only BTY Super Anti had such a dead sponge as #19 sponge. The stock sponge of H3 NEO was still decent enough after tuning effect wore off and the rubber broken in, even a few years later it serves it purpose. I will never again get #19 sponge ever. I think both Sriver FX and Tackiness Drive were WAY faster.

I dislike over-tackiness. If I use a tacky Chinese rubber, I wear off the tack as soon as I can to make it only mildly tacky. That seems to make the whole thing play better when it uses a serviceable sponge.

I would disagree that chinese player only like tacky rubber. In fact nowadays those non or semi pro also suggest using euro or jp rubber such as xiom and other. One of the reason is durability and better and consistent rubber quality

We're here now! Quite jetlagged, training begins tomorrow.

Reached my 1/2 way point now, 1 month down 1 to go. I am confident that I have improved already and now. I have my new racket I feel that the next month will give me more benefits as I am comfortable with the training and food and when I should rest. I hope I can beat more then 7 Chinese players this month which would be an increase on last month.

Xu xin is here training at the moment as well as french team as well don't know how long they will stay for

Wow your there for 2 months? That's a fantastic effort! I am sure you are improving so much! It's like your going into some sort of time continuum. Training there for 2 months in China is equivalent to 2 years at home

Xu Xin is there? That is cool! The French team, is that the first team? It's good to see they train with China pro's like Xu Xin.

I think it will be great but when you come back you will be very tired and after two weeks you will be able to play your best tt

What rubbers and blade are you using?

Mikael Berglund · Aug 8, 2014

Regarding rubbers and blades, I'd say around 50% of the resident players has Viscaria and 98% has Hurricane 3. Most have Tenergy on BH but a few has Xiom as well.

What would you say is the average age of the players there, or maybe put specific % to the different age groups
And how many people is there now

What is the everyday schedule they have?

Basic schedule

Morning Session: 08:30 ~ 11:20
Afternoon Session: 14:50 ~ 17:20
Evening Session: 18:30 ~ 20:30

Train 2 sessions a day , while Sunday is only the morning session.

Mikael Berglund · Aug 10, 2014

Right now the sessions are as follows due to the amount of people at the base
08:30 - 11:30
12:30 - 14:30 (reserved for the best players)
14:45 - 17:00
18:30 - 20:30 (reserved for the best players)

No practice on the Sundays I've been here.

The CNT together with the French national team practice different hours in the main hall.

Mikael Berglund · Aug 10, 2014

I don't really know the age groups, some are perhaps 13 and some are 19 to 20 years old. But we don't see all the players all the time. Some new people (perhaps the second national team) was playing against the French guys. Regardless, the westerners are not winning many matches around here

I have a tournament the day after I arrive back in London not expecting to be at my best at all will be interesting to see how long it takes me to adapt back to English TT.

Innerforce zfl with tenergy 05 both sides

Last day training tomorrow, been here long time feels like forever since I was in England. Took a lot of planning and preparation but despite the heavy doubts of myself and others whether I could manage here I have made it through. I feel I have improved significantly by managing to compete more and more with the Chinese players, have to see how much difference there is in my game in UK as the styles vary greatly. I have met many people from each corner of the globe, some who I intend in staying in contact with.
I would recommend the zhengding training base to any player of all levels that wants to improve there game. The coaches aren't always the most helpful but if you want help they will provide it also the site food is very repetitive and awful but you get used to it.
