Re: 2026 19 to 25 October ATTU Asian Championships , Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Not a bad arena But where are the spectators ? Stands are COMPLETELY empty Not even other players During old days of Soviet Union (Uzbekistan was a part of) , all communist countries used to bring school children and fill at least part of the arena :D This is also a common practice in places like C...

Re: A good illustration of basic serves from Alex Horscroft

Asian grip serves are probably better than European grip serves at every level of the sport. The amount of spins one can create with the wrist in addition t disguised high levels of variation is insane using Asian grip. This is why I have seen a few European grip players at all levels actually use ...

Re: Year when chopper blades and rubbers disappeared from table tennis

As far as blades go, I believe even large chopper blades with size about 169 mm head size (let alone REAL oversized blades with at least 172 mm head size) were not available ins standard production sizes in the sponge domain 38 mm ball era itself

New service rule change propositions for ITTF 2026 London AGM by USA & Hong Kong

What do you think about Proposition A-03
Proposed by the Hong Kong, China Table Tennis Association
It sets a limit on the angle of the toss from vertical

Proposition A-04
Proposed by USA Table Tennis
This seems like possibly a good change but is somewhat ambiguous for enforcement

Re: Should table tennis be moved to winter Olympics ?

Beach volleyball is definitely a summer sport
But 6 player volleyball is almost all indoor now & so can go either way ?

Then again one could say the same thing about basketball
3 on 3 is probably like beach volleyball

Re: Quick direct links to webpages on ITTF.com website
