China Trip!

[Tom]

Hi guys!

I will be going to China for 1 month in august for training and to play in the China Harmony Open! As you know a lot of table tennis equipment and clothing is much cheaper to buy in China than anywhere else. I am planning to buy some tt stuff out there and bring back to sell when I get home Just a quick question to all you guys of what you think most popular equipment and tt things people would want from China???

Hope you have all been enjoying the London Olympics, oh and cheering on team GB

Wish you success in the tournament..

BTW, are Chinese clubs/coaches easily accessible for TT aspirants?

Thanks strangeloop yes its not to hard to get training in China but you can get it much cheaper and easier if you have a contact in China DHS equipment thats a good idea.

[Tom]

[azlan]

And also, all the best for the tournament buddy. Hope I get to see your game on ITTV if it's broadcast-ed live.

 

[Tom]

Thanks azlan! Yeh I'm pretty sure a lot of the matches from China open will be streamed on ITTF

actually would we be able to make a possible wish lists? and then you could comeback to us with prices once you are there???

 

[Tom]

Yes but it will be quite hard to get internet in china

 

[Mikael Berglund]

I think it would be popular with the clothes from the national Chinese team. I've not seen the blue shorts anywhere, for instance.

 

[Tom]

Thanks Mikael

Yes but it will be quite hard to get internet in china

No, now free WIFI is very common in China city, as I know, a lots of city had free WIFI area in downtown（covered by goverment), also some restaurant, shopping mall, scenic zone and hotel will provide free WIFI.

If for shoes, I think Li Ning TT shoes is a good choice. I had 2 pairs of Li Ning TT shoes, the one was bought some years ago which had Wang Li Qin's signature on it, the shoes is very comfortable and endurable, and the design also is suite for TT well. The price also is good (much better than Mizuno shoes).
Here arer some pictures of this shoes.

Sorry, I didn't have the shoes Mizunos Wave Drive A, so I don't know whether this Li Ning shoes (2PMC837-3) is lighter or not, but I think 2PMC837-3 already much lighter than other TT shoes.
