Oddly enough there is such a thing. I am talking about lotions for a$$ pain. These things are sold to cyclists. The most popular is called Butt'r. If you take up any sort of serious cycling (it very much helps my table tennis) I strongly recommend it. I dont think it helps on forums though, but 90 minutes on one of those hard leather seats will mess you up without this stuff.

What do you mean exactly? The first serves throw was too low, yes, should've been called on it. Other than that, what on earth should the umpire do? He is free to serve like he wants if it's according to the rules.

What I mean is how the umpires let Pistej have the point with the low serve before his opponent was ready. Obviously Harimoto wasn't ready for it. (This isn't me excusing the shreek-factory, that needs to be dealt with also, but this one point was clear cut in my opinion.)

I thought Pistej was not very humble after his victory over Jeoung Youngsik. As if he was a top ten player, offended that people thought he was the underdog against Jeoung. But I had a feeling Harimoto would defeat him. He was faster, more powerful, more skilled, and more louder. I had a hunch the yelling would get to him. Harimoto out-mentaled Pistej.

I have played more international tournament than you, I am not a table tennis player ????????? You should watch the game there or the video then you know the sound the little kids made was before the serve, you are those just follow whatever people say not look clearly yourself. just follow and follow, say things that you don,t know.

I think Pistej made it looks like he is just giving ball for opponent to serve , and its goes thru ..... strange decision by referee .

Most high level players who practice a visualization serve routine will wonder what you are talking about. THe routine is not just when you serve, but is the whole thing you go into before you serve, grunting during that routine is a way of disturbing the opponent. It may or may not work, but the point is that it is not just about the serve! If he grunted and then entered his receive stance, it is one thing, as then you can enter your serve routine without any issue but he grunts in his receive stance while you are in your serve routine.
