According to an announcement on April 8, 2014 by Chinese Table Tennis and Badminton Center, 2014 CTTSL will still use the old ball for the whole season. Actually, it was initially announced in 2014 CTTSL official document published on March 17th that the new plastic ball (DHS 40+ Yellow/White Double Color Ball) will be used in this season. Don't know what prompted the change 20 days later.

Very disappointing I was hoping to see CNT play with new ball.
Also there will be a problem: CNT will train with new balls but they have to play with old balls in CTTSL!

not really.I dont think its easy to forget how something is after you use it for years(ie. the celluloid balls)

Ovtcharov signed with Jiangsu club for two seasons!

"Ovtcharov is currently the most powerful player from Europe. He is younger than Timo Boll and he has the potential. Just recently, he has won over Zhang Jike. Therefore, we have signed him for two years."Jiangsu chairman Yang Fei said.

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Both Timo and Dima is getting RMB100000 per apperrance.
That is around US16000

for what? one match, one round or the whole season?

Ningbo looks really interesting but who knows each team is sooooo strong in China I love it its 10000000 times better than soccer for sure

per appearance, so yes, per match.

It is fair, as top players get up to RMB 5 million per season, but mostly the cap is no 1million to 2 million

It's really little for them.
They are the bests in Europe. Any soccer player in Europe get like 10 times more money for every match.
This is shame that not all TT pro players can get enough money from playing it.

Well,they deserve it.they are Europe's best,and compared to a footballers,it is nothing!
