    Hi guys, I thought I'd start a thread to get people to post professional players with their partners. I thought of this because one of our players, Paul Drinkhall is very close with his wife, Joanna Drinkhall (previously Parker). And what makes it even more special is the fact they were and...
  2. Why do professional players moan when hitting the ball?

    I often see players like Dimitij Ovtcharov or Jun Mizutani sort of moan or grunt when hitting the ball. What is the purpose of this? Is it to distract their opponent or help them with their breathing when they are in a rally?
  3. Short Pips Question among the professional players

    I have been an attacking "smooth rubber" player for some time now and have recently moved to short pimples on the backhand. I have a few questions: 1) What are specific tactics (or set-plays) which players with short pips try to implement? 2) What short pip rubbers do the top players use? Any...

  5. Same rubber on both sides for offensive players

    This is something I have been thinking about for awhile. There is a very pervasive EJ assumption that you see on table tennis forums that it is always better to use a different rubber on BH than on FH, even for players who try to play a fairly standard two winged offensive game. I bought...
  6. players who win by "oficio"

  12. Keeping in high form constantly esp. vs worse players

    Keeping in high form regularly esp. vs worse players Hello. Perhaps my biggest problem right now is consistently playing at a sufficiently high level relative to my own max. It's not that I keep losing all the time because of my laziness, more so the opposite: I know I can win against the...
  13. Players with a bigger arm swing when looping

    Hi guys, I was at a tournament at the weekend, and I was watching a guy play who is very good, but has a big arm swinging loop as opposed to a short compact topspin stroke. I tried to see what blade he was using, but missed him after he had finished. I was therefore wondering when a player...
  14. Chinese national team players and their rubbers.

    Hello all, this is just a little something I have been thinking a while and just wondered what you all think. Is it fair that all Euro rubbers are numbered by the ITTF and anyone including the China team can buy them, use them, study them etc. I know the national players get the best of the...
