Before the color 2 rule. Lots of trickery going on here.

The point is that some here talk about speed glue (an European cheat strategy) as if the modern Chinese didn't use glue --but forget the unfair impact of the combi-bats in the period 1975 and after . . . . Glue is just like the combi-bat secret weapon-both are unfair advantage . . . . One million Chinese trying to oppress the World and Google-Would they bring back the gang of 4 . . . .

[blaharns]

Klampar was a huge talent, but not exactly a training maniac (look at his belly).

[weapons33]

the hungarians were the first players to use glue and i was the first with gary wilkins of wales to use it in the uk... we caught him and jonyer glueing up in the welsh open 1980... always thought the ball was broke when they were hittting it ..lol what a feeling hitting the ball when we glued up for the first time.. like you ad a rocket launche rin your blade

[Pongout25]

Ha he's my coach.

[glenngould99]

great stuff! thx for posting and keep em coming.

[ytfan1]

They started gluing approx. in 1977. By this time Klampar was definitely all glued-up

[bdsamlal]

Are u saying their success in 1979 was due to glue?

[bdsamlal]

Who started with the funny rubbers-remember Huang Liang?

[glenngould99]

@bdsamlal lu yuang sheng was the first long pimpled player i know of.

@bdsamlal wtf are you talking about? how did such nonsense arise from what is written below? i dont want an answer but in future if u want to make some bizarre point just leave me out of it.

[bdsamlal]

@glenngould99 -a bizarre point made to a bizarre fool seems not so bizarre-What do you think?

[bdsamlal]

@glenngould99 damn shithead, go glue your privates.

[Barrysamlal]

@glenngould99 The issue it seems is the hypocritical pretense of saying that gluing was a problem but using different type rubbers of the same colour and not stamping was not. Stellan posted his beating of Huang in 1981 on youtube and noted-" Note Huang's hiding and flipping of his racket, he played with long pips and smooth rubber of the same color". This to my mind was worse than the speed glue-I don't believe Cai Zenhua could have won without this advantage.

[bdsamlal]

@Barrysamlal Hypocrites indeed Barry-They stole their way to many many Championships-Especially the current or former Deputy Minister, Cai Zhenhua-The ugliest player (style and appearance) alive still-lol - Stamp and twiddle, stamp and twiddle, rate that.

[packtim]

is this still the pre-speed glue era? I cant remember when the hungarians started glueing.

[wcctusa]
