What a great game! Well done Ma Long! It's those sort of finals that really make table tennis amazing! The crowd absolutely loved it! Great play from both players.

Wow what a match ML VS.ZJK! Clash of the Titans
I couldn't get any good still pictures from any games with Yan An, but it looks like he changed his blade. Could anyone verify this?

Pity i was so busy today so i couldn't watch any games, even if i am at home it is very slow and i will not watch it nicely.

As i expected, the 2 Chinese from Semi qualified, ML and ZJK, and as we most voted in the poll that Ma Long will win the title, congrats Ma Long, i feel he will be an upcoming Champion [World Championship or Olympics].

 

[Killerspintt]

Ma Long and Timo Boll are two models of sportmanship. They really seem to appreciate each others and it's not a surpise. Hope to see them world champions together !!!!!

Ma Long vs Zhang Jike: Highlights

what rubber does ITO MIMA using?

Blade: Acoustic
FH: Fastarc [Not sure which one. Probably G-1 ]
BH: Medium Pips [Absolutely No idea of the brand]

BH: Medium Pips [Absolutely No idea of the brand]

If it is indeed Medium pips then I would say its probably Armstrong Attack 8M, which is the one used by Ai Fukuhara. It was my first time watching Mima Ito's game, and I immediately thought of her style as similar to Ai Fukuhara, didn't know Mima was using pips too.

 

[Giangt]

Isn't Mima Ito sponsored by nittaku? I would say it was Moristo SP.

Once i will have money then i will pay for the order i asked a coach to do for me, and that order including a long pips rubber, would like to test it, but i feel i need to use/try short one rather than long, so i don't know which SP rubber as popular or most used or better performance to go with?

I tend to chop/block much more these days and use defensive style even i can be dangerous as offensive, but i still not have fundamentals and footwork and body/arms correct so i can't use offensive against stronger higher level offensive players, at least with defensive i can get more points or can win better sometimes more than my offensive style.

And watching some of those defensive players i can have some inspirations too, but i will try to play offensively against lower level opponents so i don't forget my offensive style too.
