Well this was the question my coach asked me during one of my matches in a tournament - He said emphatically "Are you playing against Timo Boll?" (Well a disclaimer, I am so respectful about Timo that I took the liberty to use his name, but you get an idea. I am just trying to refer to a world...

Hi, I have started playing with hurricane 3 BS on FH and wondering how I should play with it, technique. When loop killing a under spin ball, should you hit upwards and only let the ball go into the topsheet and lift the ball so it will go low over the net or try and hit it kind of straight with...

Since work in SW part of the perks is that I get to travel a lot(especially to EU/Asia) and I always try to find local clubs and join. Here's what I noticed the past few years: 1. China(Peking/Shanghai): 99+% of high level players(non-pro use DHS/other chinese rubber. Coaching lesson fees...
