  1. Poll: Right Hand players vs. Left Hand Players

    Poll: Right Hand players vs. Left Hand players Listening to NPR radio recently, a show segment mentioned that about 10% of the population is left-handed and 90% right-handed. This ratio seems dis-appropriate in TT. A much higher percent of the better players seem to be left-handed. How about...
  2. Which are the best pro players to watch?

    Which players do you like to watch live or on tv? I like matches with players like Timo Boll for his allround skill, Koki Niwa for weird unexpected shots and modern defenders like Ruwen Filus for their ability to change defence into attack. On the ladies side there is no doubt that Bernadette...

  4. How are Pro Players Able to Cover the Table with their Banana Flick?

    From watching world events, it seems like pro players are able to move to the location of their opponent's short serve and prepare their backhand flick before the service actually hits their table. It sometimes appears ridiculous especially when they're able to cover the short forehand side as...
  5. Current best OX LP and inverted/SP forehand attacking players?

    Are there any new up and coming or perhaps already established players using OX LP on the backhand and playing an attacking game on the forehand? Not necessarily at a 'top end' level either. Anything over USATT 2000 up to pro level? I'm looking to find some that are more attacking oriented, and...
  6. Recognise the player in black?

    Without viewing the YT comments, who's the player in black? Hint; he is known today for his backhand.
  7. How to beat phishy players?

    So last night I played one of the other top players in my division. I have been finding my division that I’m in fairly easy. However, this guy that I played played like Adam Bobrow with a horrible, phishy, snakey style. He beat me pretty comfortably but I have to play him in a cup match on...

  10. Butterfly viscaria and chinese players.

    Hi, I just noticed that many chinese players like fan zhendong, fang bo, liang jingkun, wang chuqin, zhang jike use butterfly viscaria these days. Why is that?

  12. Tactics against left-handed LP players

    Or technically, opposite-handed players. I am Right handed. I will write this from a right handed point of view. I've seen quite a lot about how you should serve long no spin to LP side. This makes sense if they are the same playing hand as you as this will be cross court, faster, and the other...

  16. Absence of top players at the U.S. Open

    The top players used to attend the U.S. Open back in the eighties and nineties, but I noticed that they're conspicuously absent in the last decade or so. Good players show up, sure - but I don't think a single players on the men's side in the top 20 was there this year.
  17. Average age of top-20 table tennis players: do you think it has risen or declined?

    Hi guys I had this idea already for some time that the average age (with exception of Harimoto ofcourse) in table tennis is rising. Players can play longer, was my impression, and keep on producing very good results (Timo Boll and Samsonov are of course great examples for this). It gives me...
  18. Allwood for FH oriented and Composite for BH oriented players

    Hi all, I saw one time that a FH oriented oriented player should/could use Allwood blade and BH oriented player should/could use Composite blade. Is that why? Because FH oriented player needs a little extra time and control to use more his FH and BH player needs quicker strokes that a...
