Why don't you see the German National team hiding under the table tennis table?

Can Table Tennis become the most popular sport in the World?

Who has been the most influential person in Table Tennis?

A famous pole vaulter was born.

Alois has been thinking about the importance of the free arm especially for the backhand block.

Alois gives a quick update on the progress of this event.

Abhinav: I played with my robot on heavy backspin. When the ball was long I found it hard to topspin, the ball stopped on the table. The same happened when I set it to do short serves. They were falling short of my reach. Is that amount of spin real?

Kemal: I started table tennis last year. I have 20 hours training time in a week. I have forehand-backhand drive, forehand-backhand chop and forehand topspin. I want to be a chopper like Joo Sae Hyuk :) What is your advice coach?

Anish: I often play at my club very well but when it comes to play matches with new players I often keep playing with my style. Somewhere I feel I lose the match due to improper adaptability with new players and often fall short. Could you please help me?

Mike: The advice you gave me on blocking slow loops has helped. I have another question, I hold the paddle around the 3:00 position for the backhand as the ball nears my body, I noticed that when you hold the paddle, it's at the 12:00 position, which is better?

Eugene: I am having a real trouble returning this serve. Not that I'm not use to the spin, but he usually serves long, fast and deep into my backhand and making me play an awkward shot.

Yap: I am curious about how you return serves before 2000 when a new rule says that you cannot block the contact of the ball when serving. Before that you cannot watch the contact of the ball as your opponent may have blocked the contact with their arm.

Ed: How do you alter the angle of your bat, with your wrist or arm? https://www.pingskills.com/table-tennis/master-classes/disguising-spin/

Rex: I'm a leftie and I've learned to do a forehand slam, or some of one. I can hit hit one from left side to the right corner but can't do the same down the left side of the table.

Viktor: How can I attack a long heavy sidespin serve? Will a topspin help me?

Ernest: What is the easiest spin to do with a pendulum serve and what kind of spin should we learned first when practicing a pendulum serve over the table?

Ilia: I watched your lesson on the spin & speed variation on forehand topspin. I have a question, though. Suppose that I want to put as much spin as I can on the ball. If so, should I brush the ball at the top of the bounce? Or when it starts to fall?

Sulaiman: https://youtu.be/WHSqUXLkHus In this video at 0:13 and also at 1:32 XuXin does this service recieve that really confuses me how he does it. If you don't mind could you please go through how to carry out this recieve and also what spin he puts.

What is the best colour combination for a Table Tennis Table, Flooring and the Ball?

Alois gives an update with the US doing well.

Viktor: Do you know a tip against a player with really good serves, the guy does a serve which goes down like backspin but goes up and side like a topspin sidespin. I can't see what's spin it's on the ball. when I try to attack it goes into the net. Help :)

Viktor: How many languages can you speak on? Can you speak Swedish? :D

Viktor: How would you list the top 10 best/ greatest Table Tennis Players from the start to now?

Nishant: My best serve is the reverse pendulum with backspin. After a while my opponent starts lifting it on so I do the reverse pendulum topspin serve expecting them to hit it out. My action is different. When I try the same action it becomes too obvious.

Abhinav: I read that the top level international players are as fit as the top level soccer players. Is that true? I was also hearing an old interview of Timo Boll, he said that he trains for 2-3 hours a day playing and spends more time in the gym.

Viktor: Do you think TT players bench press?

Austin: I am currently playing with Mark V that I have been using for a few years. I have started to become confident in my strokes, and I was wondering if there was a definite time when a player is consistent enough to be able to handle a better racket?

Ilia: How does the trajectory of the ball affect the amount of spin on a loop? If I want to do a really spinny stroke, should I take the ball as late as possible, when it is falling?

Brian: Why is it that rain drops but snow falls?

Chris: How can older beginners overcome their lack of mobility and speed?

Sathya: Hi coach can you show me how to return an aggressive backhand spin.

Yap: How to do this serve done by Xu Xin, it looks like a pendulum serve but I think is not really a pendulum serve. Is this serve a good serve? 

Jean-Paul: How do you get lots of spin on your serve and how do you keep your palm flat for when you do your toss because I always either foul or have to search for the ball which is ideally avoided.
