Man this is just to good! Like LooptheLoop714 wrote this is truly table tennis heaven!

 

[Argothman]

Get as much video of the top chinese men practicing as possible! The more such video we have the better!

 

[anchorschmidt]

Thank you for the photos! Are there any photos of Waldner lying around?

 

[Dan]

Thanks guys! This sure is table tennis heaven and I am so fortunate really! Wish you could all see it, I hope all the content from the documentary we are producing will allow you to relive all these incredible moments. It really will be great.

I will do my best to upload more footage from the training hall.

Thank you for the photos! Are there any photos of Waldner lying around?

I haven't actually seen any that I can recall. But one thing I do know is that Waldner is extremely famous in China. He is known by everyone I am told.

Day 3 Pictures

Today we visited the table tennis shops and the best table tennis school in China which is located in Beijing. This school has produced some of the worlds greatest players including Ma Long. The upcoming documentary with STIGA will reveal everything.

A table tennis billboard outside the shopping centre which had the table tennis shops.

This blade is only sold in China, it is a STIGA Rosewood mixed with a clipper. Pretty cool right!

A table from the London 2012 Olympics in one of the TT shops.

I forgot to mention, I gave Fan Zhendong a TableTennisDaily t-shirt after he chose the winner for the STIGA Carbonado 190 blade competition on TTD. I wonder if he will wear it

Yes awesome stuff dan, be awesome if you gave one to each top Chinese player and who knows one day you might see them all training in it. I hope some of my advice for china comes in handy.

And interestingly enough that dhs tt shop I believe is the same one I was in 7 years ago! Before we even met in Bristol! Crazy.

Hey Dan, maybe you could ask some slightly offbeat questions to pluck out something of the players personalities...

What three adjectives would you use to describe yourself ?
What is the best thing you ever bought ?
What do you do when you don't play TT ?
What does Chinese scrabble look like ?
A good book, or a good party ?
The empire state building, or the London eye ?
Integrity or wealth ?
Can you do the Rumgay ?
Who is your favourite actor ?
Point at/tell me the most arrogant player in the team ?
Point at/tell me the most attractive player in the team ?
Point at/tell me the hardest working player in the team ?
What would you do if you arrived at a training session without your training shoes and nobody could lend you any ? (private )
etc.

suck the marrow Dan.

haha great questions spinquark loving the originaity, good idea to try and see the personality of some of these players

Equipment junkies would probably die from shock walking into that place...

Hey Dan, she is pretty
If you two fall in love, you may have even more stiga benefits

Day 2 pictures

This is one of the two training halls. This hall belongs to the A squad of the Chinese National Team. There are 24 tables. I will upload a video of me touring this floor soon.

OMG, this is so beautiful, so cool!!! I would take sleeping bag and sleep in there! wait a minute.. were are toilettes?

This is a local club in Beijing, I had an awesome time in there. The atmosphere was amazing. I recommend all players to cisit if your ever in Beijing.

Definitelly will do!
And if I will win a lotto or something, I will build one like this at my place.. Excellent!
China seems to be a place of dreams come true, yayy!!!

 

[Michal_Z]

This is absolutely awesome!
Dan, please, get some LSW pictures for me

Question - do you see any guards or security around?
I mean - does there anyone cares if only players enter the place?
Would they notice if I walk in?

 

[Spitfire]

I have to ask the question dan , what did you buy from the table tennis shop ?

Will you be returning with overweight baggage?

 

[sebas-aguirre]

who is this player?
not fzd, the other one.
and what equipment does he use?
thanks.

 

[Michal_Z]

Dan, a question , how many balls they crack during one day?
Must be hundreds..
What are they doing with them?

 

[Bollforte94]

This is absolutely awesome!
Dan, please, get some LSW pictures for me

But only under the shower!?!

 

[Outerveneer]

Would love to visit that store! What did you buy?

Fan Zhendong Forehand Topspin against backspin in the NEW Chinese National Team Training Centre!

Obviously excellent form, and it is something I will watch again. It's incredible how he seems to put so little speed into his arm but the ball goes so quickly. But what I am really wondering is where you can get the thing that the man in the background was using to pick up the balls (0:45-0:55)? That seems like a big time saver!

waist rotation gives the ball most of the speed!
