LOL I'm quite the oppostie  , I'm a pretty bad/average player, who just play in the higher divisions.
On normal days, any newb can beat me, but during tourny's and comp's it's different metal monkey 
...but yeah I heard a lot of B.S, were lower grade players think there are same level as top player since they practise regularly with them or take a few games with them. From were I stand I see the higher graded player not playing his game "not into it." or just mucking around. |

What *does* mean something to me is beating guys that have beaten me for years... like dan poh and a handful of other guys. |

jj was gracious enough to stop by our club a few yrs back to put on a table tennis demonstration. a fun and exciting time was had by all. one of the things i realized when i saw jj play was that he could probably beat most players playing blindfolded, with his left hand and with one foot in a bucket. 2 time world champs are funny that way

Chen Xin Hua lived and played in England for a while. The only reason you have a 'holier than thou' approach to JJ is probably because he's the only w/class player you have had on the other end of the table. |

speed anything done with an incorrect attitude is a waste of time.. rest assured that jj and myself would both leave every single practice a better person for having practiced against one another with the right attitude. table tennis aside, his english and my cantonese would improve and that alone would make it a worthwhile endeavor

dh thanks for stating the obvious. it's called "sharing". feel free to share some of your moments with some of the players you've played with....i for one would be interested in how your game improved as a result of having played just about anybody

Its hard to share so many years experience unless you are more specific, ask away...... |

Its hard to share so many years experience unless you are more specific, ask away...... dh sure...who was the former world champ you had a 'tap about' with? how hard was he trying..how hard were you trying and how did your game improve, if at all, after having hit with him? tx r |
