The Chinese Women's team recently crushed the U.S. Men's team 4-1 and Juan Liu just won the last two Westchester Opens, beating Jiwei Xu and Daniel Gorak in the process.
Are these unusual times, or historically, have top women often beaten top men?
Much appreciated for any help or advice.:D
I used to play TT a lot a few years ago and I'm picking up again.
I need a racket in doing so BUT the top sheets of my old racket seem to have detached from my sponges after about a week of use. I did some research.
All in all, I peeled the two...
I'm currently looking to upgrade my FH rubber (Galaxy Jupiter II) to something faster/bouncier.
I naturally thought of all the hybrid rubbers being released this year - Tibhar K1, Stiga Genesis II, and Donic BlueGrip.
I'm also open to Chinese tacky rubbers like provincial Battle II and Sanwei...
Hi all!
With the US Collegiate Nationals coming up, I've made a video highlighting my university team's best points over the past year or so. Maybe you'll recognize some players that show up in the video, one in particular is currently ranked ~50 in the entire world!
As table tennis isn't...

Hey guys! I don't know if you've already watched this video, but I wanted to share it with you!
This channel named "Random Stats" posted this video of the top 10 male players over the years (from 2001 to 2019), which I thought was really cool!
Timo was there since the beginning (of the video)...

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.

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...
The year of 2018 will be one to remember! There were so many crazy shots in 2018, we had the tough task of narrowing down to the final 10 to make the top 10 video below!
We have compiled a video of the wackiest and craziest table tennis shots of 2018! Be sure to cast your vote in the poll...
Wow! Very interesting?
Why do they put their free hand in the same position?
Top Chinese players have a very similar table tennis stance.
Waiting for your comments.
It is well known that in the tennis world, there is a huge gap in playing strength between men and women. John McEnroe is an excellent handicapper and he once stated that if Serena Williams played on the Men's circuit, she would be ranked around #700.
I'm a new Table Tennis fan, but from what...
Which would you prefer to be - a player ranked just below the best in China with little chance of making the top team, or to be the top player in a European country like France or the UK. It seems that a superb player in China may play second fiddle to the likes of Ma Long or Ding Ning but, if...
