Imagine if Ma Lin would win the next WTTC single in Rotterdam, then he would be the only 4th man to make such a feat. Still Ma Lin is as it is one of the greatest ever.
playing pingpong is too stressful on the body and mind. i don't believe many professional pingpong players will live past 60 with all that stress on their bodies. i think maybe with golf or swimming, the movements are less jerky and sudden, so maybe their bodies take less of a beating?
er..no. if you play properly, you're keeping loose and not really jerking muscles. it's a reflex sport utilizing technique and strategy. muscle power isn't much of a factor here.
if you do it wrong though, you could get tennis elbow, shoulder injuries, back injuries, etc.
imo, the official table height should be raised higher. ppl aren't as short as they were back when this was invented. it would reduce the stress on the knees
oh man, no way. I'm 5'3" and table tennis is one of the only things that I can play without being at a disadvantage. Don't raise the table height, that would be disastrous.
muscle power isnt much of a factor? are you nuts, you get the power in your shots from your muscles, you push yourself around the court with your muscles, look at wang liqin, he is seriously muscly, and hes got arguably the best forehand in the world, cos he transfers the power through his legs, into his torso through his arms. lets say you play all forehands like ma lin and ryu seung min, they have unbelievably strong legs being able to kick themselves all round the court.
i think you're missing the point. i've been able to leg press 800 lbs since i was 16 so according to your idea, i should be world class since muscle power is a huge factor.
i bench 225, fly 225, lat 155, and a number of other things way more than these guys. so i have the best forehand ? i don't think so.
China vs China matches becomed much more interesting with those youngsters ma long , xu xin & jhang jike ... and ye... Ma Lin complete monster in this tournament
ma lin is a nice guy. after jike hit him in the eye, he knew he'd feel bad and hold back. ma lin held back too and even did a re-serve when he noticed jike wasn't ready. it may have touched the net but it was negligible. he could've played on and no one notice.
stupidly fast.

So what kind of serve is Ma Lin using in this match? Like 5:15-5:18 is that side topspin?
