BRONZE The cover photo is of Lily Zhang winning the bronze medal at the Youth Olympic Games. This was a major accomplishment and a real step forward for U.S. table tennis. The Youth Olympic Games, like the Olympics, are multi-sport events sponsored by the International Olympic Committee and held every four years. Having an American on the podium at the close of this prestigious event is a really good sign for the future of the sport in this country.

GORDON KAYE USATT has announced our next CEO, Gordon Kaye. Kaye recently served as General manager of the BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford, Illinois where he was part of a transformation

of the arena that extended throughout Rockford’s downtown. The Center was host to a variety of events, and was home to a minor league hockey team. Clearly he brings a skillset that includes managing staff, running and promoting events, and sales and marketing -- all skills that will translate well to his new role at USATT. Kaye is also a table tennis player. In fact, he has played in more than 30 USATT sanctioned events since 2009. Join us in welcoming and supporting Gordon Kaye as he helps USATT continue to move forward. ([email protected])

CEO Report

fly the friendly skies

To the USATT Family - It is my sincere privilege to be writing to you today as the new Chief Executive Officer of USA Table Tennis. As an avid table tennis player and a seven-year member of USATT, I was honored to be selected to lead our organization into this exciting time for our sport in the United States and abroad. With over 300 Million players worldwide (17 Million in the United States alone), table tennis has firmly entrenched itself as part of the global community. Each day, we see and hear more and more positive news about our sport and the impact it is making. Whether it is studies linking table tennis to cognitive brain development, the role of table tennis in fighting child obesity, our members and clubs reaching deep into their communities to use table tennis as a conduit to positively affect the youth of our nation, or the many (many) celebrities that have embraced table tennis as a vehicle to raise money and awareness for positive social change, table tennis has, in many respects, left the basement and is now part of mainstream American culture. However bullish I may be, as a community we continue to face serious challenges, particularly in resource development for our elite level and grassroots (skills development and learning) programming. We cannot, however, use those limitations as an excuse for not working every single day to bring the many great people and resources that are available to our community together towards a common goal. Over the course of the next several months, we will be developing an aggressive growth plan for USATT focused in four major areas: 1. Value Proposition. I firmly believe that we need to be in the business of providing value back to

those of you that invest in us – our members, our clubs and our partners. Simply put, our organization needs to be in the business of providing world class service to our stakeholders. 2. Relevancy. What does USA Table Tennis mean to our existing community – and equally important, the table tennis community outside of USATT? You will see us investing more time and energy in building the bridge between the elite/tournament aspect of our sport (which we now serve) and the more mainstream, “pop culture” table tennis community that exists outside of our sphere of influence right now. 3. Clubs. Clubs are the gateway to the USAT T community, and we need to improve on the services and value that are provided to them. I was very fortunate that, eight years ago, I found a table tennis “home” in Berks County, PA – and have found similar homes wherever life has taken me. I think it is incumbent on us, as the National Governing Body for the sport of table tennis, to find opportunities for others to connect with our sport through our outstanding clubs. 4. Collaboration. We simply cannot be an effective without collaboration, commitment and trust. We have so many smart, dedicated people that have put a lifetime into our sport – and by working together, the sky is the limit. I hope to see as many of you as possible at one of our great clubs, at an upcoming tournament or at an event near you! I would also encourage you to reach out to me (my email address is below) with any thoughts, comments, suggestions or ideas – or even just to say hello!

Respectfully,Gordon Kaye, [email protected]

TABLE TENNIS12

“My coach, Massimo Constantini, has played a crucial role in my success. He is so passionate in the sport of table tennis and puts in absolutely everything to help me improve. There is not a doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t be in this position without him.”

2014 Youth Olympic GamesLily Zhang An exciting first for the USA – a bronze medal in the 2014 Youth Olympic Games.

Lily Zhang is not a new name in U.S. table tennis, but it is her name that has ultimately planted the first U.S. flag on an Olympic podium for our sport. Though Lily has won numerous titles over the years, among them a U.S. National Title and several significant junior titles, this win is a first and one of the biggest of her young career.

The 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games (officially known as II Summer Youth Olympic Games) was the second Summer Youth Olympic Games. These games are an international sports, education and cultural festival for teenagers that, like the Olympics, are held every four years and managed by the International Olympic Committee. This year, the games were held from August 16 to 28 in Nanjing, China.

A side note here: The United States has had a variety of successes in international Paralympic and Special Olympic events. Our country has also had Junior Olympic events within the United States.

Lily’s recent win was not just an amazing gain for the U.S., but certainly an amazing gain for

“It was vital to keep calm, not to rush; if I rushed then I would lose, sometimes it was necessary just to play a little slower”

the young woman who manifested it. In a recent interview she began by explaining how hard she trained for the occasion in the weeks prior to taking the International stage at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games. She had participated in many tournaments over the summer and also took part in a number of training camps, all in preparation for the event.

The training camps in China and Korea, especially helped her to get in top physical shape and she credited the tournament play as what kept her mentally engaged and prepared for the challenge ahead.

Zhang also trained at ICC in Milpitas, California under Coach Massimo Constantini. Zhang is particularly proud of her involvement with ICC. In fact, she made a point to credit Constantini personally when she said.

“My coach, Massimo Constantini, has played a crucial role in my success. He is so passionate in the sport of table tennis and puts in absolutely everything to help me improve. There is not a doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t be in this position without him.”

Certainly, the ICC has been a huge facet of her success. “I am proud to be a part of ICC, as they have sponsored and helped me so much throughout my entire journey. They, along with my sponsor Stiga, always want the best for me and for that, I am extremely grateful. I’m also thankful to SVTTC, as the coaches there have helped me improve as a person and an athlete. And I’m really

grateful to Coach Lily Yip, who was with me this entire summer and really pushed me through to the end! And without question. my family and friends who have never wavered in their support of my dreams since day 1. Of course an event of this magnitude has to be a little nerve-wracking and that was the case for Zhang, but she said her excitement, and the honor of representing the U.S.A. in such a prestigious event helped quell and calm her nerves. Lily expressed that it was her goal to win a medal and she realized that goal... despite a slight disappointment she confessed to in losing in the semifinals. In the end, what she took from the experience was a great sense of pride in accomplishment.

Lily knows she performed well. Her first match was against Park Seri from Korea. Seri was a very strong opponent and Zhang put extra time into preparing for the match. Seri is a left-handed player, and playing lefties sometimes leaves Zhang less comfortable, but that was not the case here. Her loss came in the semifinal round where she lost to Doo Hoi Kem, the top seed from Hong Kong. Kem proved to be too much for Zhang, pulling ahead to win 4-1. But we had not seen the best of Zhang.

The Bronze Medal match against Miyu Kato was perhaps the most difficult match of Zhang’s career so far. The two have met up before, and they are both powerfully skilled young athletes. Lily stated that she prepared mentally for her line-up against Kato by focusing on Kato’s playing style, particularly her serve. It wasn’t easy as Zhang lost a handful of points due to Kato’s brilliant service style. However, with focus and calm, Zhang stood her ground to recover forcefully. Quickly adapting, she was able to return Kato’s subsequent serves and put the remainder of her energies into changing the rally exchange between them.

“It was vital to keep calm, not to rush; if I rushed then I would lose, sometimes it was necessary just to play a little slower”, said Zhang. “In the fourth game, when I led 9-5 and then lost, I started thinking ahead; I kept thinking that if I could win the game I’d be three-one ahead, a big advantage.” Kato scored six points in a row to win that fourth game and tie the match 2-2.

Zhang started fast in the crucial fifth game, winning the first four points. Kato then came back scoring three

quick points of her own. Coach Lily Yip then called a time out. “She told me to take a breather and not to be anxious”, explained Lily Zhang. “She really pushed me through to the end!” says Zhang, of the coach who was by her side the entire summer.

It was a tough battle, but ultimately, she beat Japan’s Miyu Kato in six games (10-12, 11-9, 12-10, 9-11,11-9, 11-8), to secure her place on the podium.

When asked for comment on the event, Coach Yip noted that, “Both players focused on their backhands; they were a little afraid to use their forehands”, she added, “I tried to encourage Lily to move the direction of the play and to be prepared to play long rallies because Miyu played very safely; it was important that Lily was aggressive.”

And how does Coach Yip feel about the win? “The feeling is just amazing. A medal, the first ever Youth Olympic medal for the United States!”

The Youth Olympics certainly had more to offer than the big win over Kato. Zhang also played the teams event with Krish Avvari and although they finished third in the group and didn’t make it to the main draw, the experience was a notable one.

Not just an athlete, this young woman is driven to success. Currently a student at Berkeley, she notes that college is a huge change from high school. Finding time for her sport is a little challenging

… “There’s a lot more schoolwork, activities, and opportunities here and I can only go home on the weekends when I don’t have too much work.”

She is careful to add that while she would love to seize every opportunity to go to tournaments, schoolwork and education are a major focus. She does plan to participate in the 2014 World Junior Championships and expects to start training soon. And for those wondering, yes, the 2016 Olympics is on her radar.

As for the changes and the new plastic ball, Zhang says only, “It’s a little slower and there’s less spin, but I guess that’s just the sport - constantly changing.” We know Zhang herself is constantly evolving too, and with her ambitious youth, and rock-solid skill set, we are cheering her on for that next Olympic medal.

advice how to change and in the fifth and six games I moved much better.”

Next Goal Success in Nanjing, now Fan Zhendong has another goal. “My aim is to play in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games”, concluded Fan Zhendong. “Winning today has given me confidence in achieving that goal.” So, if Fan Zhendong plays and there are three players in a team; who are you going to leave out? On the current World ranking it would be Zhang Jike, Olympic and World champion!

Defender Can Succeed Gold for Fan Zhendong and a very worthy silver for Yuto Muramatsu, who is the only defender, male or female in the whole tournament! It seems, especially for the men, there are fewer and fewer defenders on view; equally in Nanjing there is not one single pen-hold grip player in action. Likewise at the Liebherr 2013 Men’s World Cup in Belgium, there was only one pen-holder, Xu Xin and he won the tournament! In Nanjing the one defender was the runner up and frankly only Fan Zhendong was able to cope with his style.

A Dying Art Success for two styles that appear dying arts; is it time for coaches to broaden their minds? Sport needs variety; the player in Nanjing who was different ended matters with a silver medal! Yuto Muramatsu was a worthy runner up; Fan Zhendong a worthy champion, gold medallist Men’s Singles Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games, another title to a rapidly growing collection.

By: Ian Marshall, ITTF Editor Winner of the Men’s Singles event earlier in the year in February at the GAC Group 2014 ITTF World Tour Kuwait Open, China’s Fan Zhendong won the Men’s Singles title at the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games on the early afternoon of Wednesday 20th August. However, any suggestions from some quarters that all he needed to do was arrive in the Wutaishan Gymnasium, smile, pick up his racket and the gold medal would be automatically awarded was not the situation. Japan’s Yuto Muramatsu, the second seed, gave the top seed, a torrid time.

Established Lead The Japanese teenager was not playing for second place; at one stage he established a two games to one lead. Unquestionably Fan Zhendong was under pressure; to his great credit he responded; from two-one down he won three games in a row to clinch the title (11-8, 9-11, 9-11, 11-8, 11-5, 11-4).

Tactical Change Yan Sen, the Chinese National Team Coach, changed matters, Fan Zhendong obeyed. “The backhand defence of Yuto Muramatsu was very strong, the tactic was to direct the first attack to the middle and then to the backhand”, explained Yan Sen. “I told him to attack the middle, as before, but then attack the forehand.” Wise words, the change of tactic brought success and Yan Sen could be pleased with his player’s efforts.

Found Rhythm “Technically, Fan Zhendong played very well; he had a great desire to win and eventually he found a good rhythm to his play”, added Yan Sen, who was equally positive about the concept of the Youth Olympic Games. “It’s a very exciting tournament and a really good platform for these young players”, stressed Yan Sen. “It’s a chance for them to show their passion for the sport; tremendous match experience.”

Big Challenge A positive view from the coach and it was the very same from the player. “Here it has been a big challenge for me; it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and I’m the only player representing China”, said Fan Zhendong. “It is such a great honour; I’m very grateful to everyone concerned for giving me this opportunity.”

Difficult Match Furthermore, Fan Zhendong underlined the fact that he had faced a most worthy opponent in the final. “The match was not easy, not easy at all”, added Fan Zhendong. “The final was a very hard match but I reached my goal; I made some mistakes at the beginning but my coach gave me good

Silver Medallist in Rabat, Gold Medallist in Nanjing; Liu Gaoyang Sheer ClassBy: Ian Marshall, ITTF Publications Editor Runner up in the Girls’ Singles event at the 2013 World Junior Championships in the Moroccan city of Rabat, beaten by Chinese National Team colleague, Gu Yuting in the final; on Wednesday 20th August at the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games it was one step higher for Liu Gaoyang. She followed in the footsteps of her nemesis, Gu Yuting who had won the Women’s Singles title four years earlier at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore. Imperiously she claimed the top step of the podium to receive the precious gold medal.

Traditionally Strong Area At the final hurdle, Liu Gaoyang, the no.2 seed, beat Hong Kong’s Doo Hoi Kem, the no.1 seed, in five games. It was a most impressive performance from the 18 year old who hails from Shandong Province in the north of China, the same area of China as the two most recent Olympic Games Men’s Singles gold medallists, Ma Lin and Zhang Jike.

Smooth Style Left handed, her play as smooth as silk she moved through the gears like a top of the range Rolls Royce easing its way down the motorway to its ultimate destination. The backhand block was safe secure, creating angles, making Doo Hoi Kem move and forcing errors; equally the velvet exquisitely timed forehand, wide to the Hong Kong teenager’s forehand reaped dividends.

Played Better “I played much better than yesterday”, said Liu Gaoyang who at the quarter-final stage had been extended to six games by Chinese Taipei’s Chiu Ssu-Hua. “Today, I had a good feeling for the ball from the very start of the match; I was soon into a rhythm”, said Liu Gaoyang. “I lost the third game because I hurried, I rushed; I calmed down and played better.”

Technical Level It was a display of high quality and it paid tribute to the Chinese coaching system; if perfection can be achieved in sport Liu Gaoyang came very near. “I think maybe my technical level is slightly better than that of Doo Hoi Kem”, added Liu Guoyang, a most polite and courteous young lady was arguably giving very modest response; her technical level is better than any other player in the whole tournament!

Played Exceptionally WellLiu Gaoyang responded in every respect and her efforts

gained the approval of Yan Sen, the Chinese National Coach, who had guided her fortunes.

“Undoubtedly Liu Gaoyang was under pressure but so was Doo Hoi Kem; I think the two players are of a very similar level but today Liu Gaoyang played exceptionally well”, said Yan Sen. “I think she played at 80 per cent or even at 90 per cent of her practice level.”

Considering the importance of the contest that was an extremely high percentage.

Changes “Doo Hoi Kem only made small changes to her play, Liu Guoyang made many more”, added Yan Sen. “I don’t think Doo Hoi Kem was in good shape today; she didn’t play to her potential, Liu Gaoyang was relaxed and played well.”

Liu Gaoyang certainly played well, a fact Zhang Rui, the coach of Doo Hoi Kem, recognised.

“Today Liu Gaoyang was full of energy, she was too strong”, said Zhang Rui. “There was a lot of pressure today, Olympic Games produces a very special atmosphere.”

Special PerformanceA special atmosphere and from Liu Gaoyang, it was a special performance, the Women’s Singles title secured in style; great style and have we seen a future Olympic Games gold medallist?

BY MICHAEL BABUIN, PHD, P.G. Chairman, USA Table Tennis Board of Directors 2014 US National Championship to Introduce Nittaku Pre-mium 40+ Poly Ball – Final Decision After further discussions and consideration of suggestions from our general membership, our High Performance Com-mittee, our High Performance Director, our Tournament Ad-visory Committee, our Officials, several Elite Athletes, our Para Director, and several Board members, USATT has de-cided to utilize the Nittaku Premium 40+ poly balls for all events to be held at 2014 Nationals. While this is a departure from information shared a month ago, we have had ample input and assurances that the new Nittaku Premium 40+ poly ball is the best option for our upcoming National Champion-ship. The input leading to this decision included direct input from both the Nittaku company, the official ball sponsor for USATT, and Paddle Palace, the distributor for Nittaku prod-ucts in the US. They have assured us that the Nittaku Premi-um 40+ ball will be available in October of this year. In order to assist members making the transition, USATT and Paddle Palace are working together on providing a promotional of-fer for USATT members entering the 2014 Nationals. USATT thanks all of the members who have taken the

time to provide input into this watershed decision. You have played a critical role in helping USATT refine and resolve competing considerations, and helping determine the best choice available for seamless execution of our National Championship. When exploring uncharted waters, it is wise to seek varying opinions and perspectives before a final deci-sion is rendered. USATT has listened. Specifically, the following individuals have taken much time and effort in sharing their experience and thoughts relat-ed to this important topic, and I want to personally thank them for their contributions, perspectives, and support for the new poly ball. Special thanks go to Doru Gheorghe, USATT High Performance Director; Carl Danner, Chair of the USATT High Performance Committee; Sean O’Neill, USATT Di-rector of Communications; Jim Butler, US Men’s National Team member; Wendell Dillon, International Umpire; and Jasna Rather, USATT Para Program Director. (Note: If any-one was left out, please forgive the unintentional oversight.) In addition, Sean O’Neill has offered to sit down with any member at the Nationals and discuss the transition to playing with the new poly balls. I urge all members to take advantage of this opportunity (as long as Sean is not in the middle of broadcasting matches!). Hoping to see all of you in Las Vegas in December!

In July and August, table tennis players and organizers have done their best to spread awareness and help with solicit donations for ALS research. In fact, the ITTF agreed to give 20 cents to charity for shares by several well-known players.

If you would like to donate to ALS, you may visit their donation site directly at als.org/donate

By: Ian Marshall, ITTF Publications Editor A complete outsider, occupying the no.11 seeded place in the draw, Jack Wang of the United States emerged as the surprise winner of the Junior Boys’ Singles title at the ITTF-North American Championships in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga on Monday 1st September. At the final hurdle, he accounted for Canada’s Filip Ilijevski, the no.4 seed (11-6, 7-11, 11-9, 14-16, 6-11, 11-8, 11-9), having in the penultimate round beaten Jeremy Hazin, the no.6 seed and also from Canada (11-9, 11-8, 11-6, 5-11, 11-7). Overwhelmed “I am still overwhelmed, I never expected this”, said Jack Wang. “I played a very good United States Open this year and practiced hard to come here to Toronto.” Undoubtedly an unexpected winner in the Junior Boys’ Singles event; in the counterpart Junior Girls’ Singles competition matters progressed to a much greater extent as seeding predicted with the United States very much to the fore.

Top Seed Prevails Crystal Wang, the top seed, accounted for the one surprise semi-finalist, Canada’s Amy Nicholls the no.10 seed (5-11, 11-8, 8-11, 11-6, 14-12, 11-2), a young lady in form. At the quarter-final stage she had beaten Diane Jiang of the United States, the no.4 seed (11-8, 15-13, 11-8, 9-11, 4-11, 8-11, 11-8), to cause the one upset of note in the latter stages. A place in the final booked, Crystal Wang faced colleague Amy Wang, the no.2 seed and duly justified her top billing by posting a six games win (11-8, 10-12, 11-8, 4-11, 11-3, 11-7). In the counterpart semi-final, Amy Wang had beaten Grace Yang, also from the United States and the no.4 seed, in five games (11-5, 11-7, 4-11, 11-9, 11-2).

Lily Yip Delighted “It has been great to see two United States girls in the Under 18 final, both of them are still very young”, said Lily Yip, the United States coach. “Amy is 11 years old, Crystal is 12 years old; Amy is one of my players at the LYTTC and she worked hard to be ready for this competition, practising every day during the summer training camps.” LYTTC is the Lily Yip Table Tennis Center in New Jersey in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States and earlier this year was the venue for a National Training Camp prior to a group of players, which included Crystal Wang, departing for a training stint in China under the guidance of Lily Yip.

Maryland Table Tennis Center However, for the vast majority of the time, Crystal Wang is based at the Maryland Table Tennis Center where she is guided by Jack Huang (Huang Tong Sheng, former Chinese Team Member), Cheng Yinghua and other Maryland based coaches. Dedicated to the sport of table tennis, she started playing when only six years old and practices when even advised by her mentors to take a rest! Derek Nie, who won Under 14 Boys’ Singles title at the recent United States Open is also a member of the Maryland Center.

BY PAUL D. BOWKER Friday was travel day, nearly 3,000 miles from California to New Jersey. Saturday was moving day for 2012 U.S. Olympic table tennis athlete Erica Wu. She had the same anxious feeling as any other incoming freshman at Princeton University moving into their first dorm room. “So far I love it,” Wu said. “The campus is beautiful. Everyone I‘ve met has been so nice. … Everyone here is so smart, so talented.” Two years have passed since Wu made her Olympic debut at age 16 at the London 2012 Olympic Games. She was one of the youngest members of that U.S. Olympic Team, along with table tennis teammate Lily Zhang, also 16; swimmer Katie Ledecky, then a 15-year-old gold medalist in the women‘s 800-meter freestyle; and gymnast Kyla Ross, who won a team gold medal at age 15. But on Aug. 30, the beginning of the 2014 Labor Day weekend, Wu was doing the same thing as any other college student: unpacking her belongings in a dorm room, moving clothes around the room, wondering about what clubs to join and who her new friends would be. On Princeton’s campus in central New Jersey, Wu will have at least one Olympic teammate she can meet between classes for a snack. Ariel Hsing, who competed individually and in the table tennis team tournament in London with Wu, is a sophomore at Princeton. These are athletes who are not only trying to score high in an athletic competition, but also score high in academic achievement. Wu attempted to study for the Scholastic Aptitude Tests at the London Games. “I actually brought my SAT book to the Olympics, and I never opened it,“ Wu said. “I was supposed to. Every time I was like, ‘I’m going to study now, but you know what, maybe I should go and explore the (athletes’) village today.’ I’m glad I did that.” Zhang is the only U.S. athlete who competed at the London 2012 Olympic Games and Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games. She went straight from China to the start of her freshman year at the University of California, Berkeley. Wu, Hsing and Zhang are just three of the young U.S. Olympians who have since moved on to college. All along the way, schools have celebrated their Olympians.

The program on Friday included 3 highly entertaining and professional exhibitions by Wally Green and Kaz Yokoyama–in 2 local schools and 1 in the showroom of an auto dealer who filled a GMC Pick-Up with ping pong balls for a “Guess the Number of Balls” contest to win a Kettlertable tennis table. The Friday night Celebrity SLAMFest event drew a record attendance of over 300 guests who listened and danced to music by the Deloreans, enjoyed a sumptuous buffet and beverages, open play on 20 tables, live and silent auctions, entertainment by the “Roller Derby Girls” and exhibitions by Wally and Kaz. Saturday’s tournament drew such an overwhelming response that registration had to be closed 3 days early with 180 players participating. Participants included 12 residents of Westminster Canterbury Retirement Community for the Over 75 Seniors event, the entire Cox High School Boys and Girls Volleyball teams and the youngest player at age 7. Event entry fees for

youth 17 and under was $15, Adults was $20. Each participant received a free T-shirt and a Kettler paddle.

Founder and President of Table Tennis Charity Foundation, Ken Lees said: “We’re extremely pleased with the outpouring of support from our generous sponsors, local amateur players and the public for our event this year. Every year it gets better. In 6 years we have raised a total of $323,000 through annual PingPongforCHARITY™ Events and donated nearly $200,000 to 3 Charity Partners ($87,000 in last 2 years.) We’re looking forward to next year when we plan an even bigger event. We are excited to build upon the momentum, not only with the continuation of the 7th Annual PingPongforCHARITY™ Event in Virginia Beach, but also the expansion in offering the PingPongforCHARITY™ Events nationally to qualifying Non-Profit Organizations who would like to utilize the brand and the proven event model to raise awareness and funding for their local mental health/brain fitness cause, while integrating the sport into their communities.”

Dr. Scott Sautter, Board Certified Neuropsychologist and Chairman of the Table Tennis Charity Foundation, commenting on the benefits of the event to participants, points out that “Neuroscience has demonstrated aerobic exercise improves brain function, and table tennis uniquely offers participants exercise of the mind and body in a safe activity for everyone at any age.”

TABLE TENNIS30

By Adam “my bad! wrong address… I just saw the table on your driveway and thought I would… wait! Don’t call the cops!” Bobrow

Started from the Driveway Now We Here

How did we get here? How can we help others join us? I find that when I ask people if they play ping pong, they often say that they suck. And when I ask them if they want to play, they often say that they aren’t good enough. Well, this news just in: we ALL

started as beginners. That’s what starting IS.Of course different people have different levels of hand-eye coordination, speed, reaction time and physical strength before playing the sport… but being ashamed of being a beginner seems counter-productive if you hope to ever grow out of being a beginner.According to the internet, there are over 20 MILLION ping pong players in the US and the

BOBROW


overwhelming majority of those players are “recreational.” Does that mean they aren’t competitive? Well… in many cases, I am sure people play for a leisure activity and don’t keep score, but the very nature of keeping score ISto competitive and while having fun is important, the point of keeping score (no pun intended) is to WIN. So in some senses, the majority of people who keep score while playing… care about the results and want to win… therefore, we could say are competitive. Of those 20 million players in the US, about 9,000 of them are USATT members. That means that over 99.9% of the people who play in this country are “recreational” players. Wouldn’t it be AMAZING for the sport if we could encourage even one TENTH of those players to play at local clubs and compete in leagues and tournaments!How can we make that happen? That seems like a big question that many people have been asking for a long time. When I started playing at a local table tennis club, I was the only teenager there, was surrounded by middle-aged, retired men and it was clear to me that even though I was beating everyone in my family (at table tennis… we all love and respect each other very much), I was significantly worse than anyone at the club. This probably would’ve been true for me at pretty much any table tennis club. Many people, when faced with this reality will not want to bother people, will not want to continually get destroyed match after match and might not even want to come back. People often enjoy being around people their own age… that they can relate to. It’s understandable to want to get a great challenge and play stronger players than you, but for every match that you play against a stronger player, that is asking someone to play with a weaker player… and that player

is saying “sure.” Paying it forward and doing the same for others seems reasonable. If you imagine a new restaurant (or most businesses for that matter), if a new customer walked in, the restaurant would do everything it could to not only make the customer comfortable and happy but make sure that the customer wanted to return and introduce more people to the restaurant. It would seem that table tennis clubs would feel the same way (and many do). Maybe this means running programs for kids, seniors, beginners, having tournaments and leagues for the players… and doing everything we can to help people find good company, other players at a similar level or simply inviting the new players to join us in our enthusiasm for the sport. If players had easier access to finding new people to play with and learning more about the sport, it would be a huge win for all of us. So START that table tennis club at your school, TALK to your local park or community center about putting tables in the multi-purpose room, REACH OUT to the principal or athletic director at your kids’ schools and TAKE STEPS to make something happen. Ideas are just a start, but actions need to be taken and being a leader means taking those steps and knowing that there is a much better chance that people will join you if you put in the effort and welcome their help. Maintaining numbers is good, but growing is better. Whether it was a driveway, a basement, an office table, cruise ship or a friend’s house, many us can remember where we started… but now we’re here… so let’s help others enjoy the privileges that we’ve been enjoying for years and years. Ready? SET?? GO! 8>)

Sensational Scenes in Lisbon, Portugal Crowned Men’s Team European ChampionsBy: Ian Marshall, ITTF Publications Editor Amid scenes surely never previously witnessed in table tennis arena in Lisbon; Portugal won the Men’s title at the TMS 2014 European Team Championships on the evening of Sunday 28th September. The hero of the hour, the pride of Portugal, the man who delivered the gold medal was the man from the Atlantic island of Madeira, Marcos Freitas. After beating Steffen Mengel in the opening contest in three straight games (11-8, 11-8, 11-8), he overcame Timo Boll in the fourth match of the engagement (12-10, 5-11, 11-6, 11-9) to seal a dramatic, tensioned packed three-one success.

Players in Form Two players in form, two young men who earlier this year have enjoyed success on the international stage and have imposed themselves on the World order, confronted each other in the first match of the final. Steffen Mengel wore the colours of Germany for Portugal it was Marcos Freitas. Urged forward the passionate crowd approaching 2,000, the vast majority in support of the host nation, the top spin attacking play executed by Marcos Freitas prevailed against the arguably powerful and expansive efforts of Steffen Mengel. He won the first game and led 8-5 in the second; his consistency level grew and a rhythm to his play was established. A critical stage of match, Jörg Rosskop, the German Coach called “Time Out”; Steffen Mengel reduced the arrears to one point but never gained parity.

Took Risks Two games to nil ahead, Marcos Freitas was in the ascendancy; Steffen Mengel took risks in the third game. Marcos Freitas went ahead 9-2, Steffen Mengel recovered somewhat to win the next three points, prompting Perdro Rufino, the Portuguese coach, to call “Time Out”, the move being to stifle any momentum that Steffen Mengel may have been establishing. Tension was clearly mounting in the Marcos Freitas body, he could see the winning post; eventually, playing consistently he succeeded. The Master of Ceremonies announced in both English and Portuguese “Marcos Freitas three, Steffen Mengel zero; Portugal one Germany zero.”

Timo Boll Levels Matters An early lead for Portugal, matters were soon rectified by Timo Boll; close moments in the opening game but Timo Boll never in arrears, the German dominated the second and moved 5-3 ahead on the third. Portuguese coach, Pedro Rufino called “Time Out”, matters were looking bleak for João Monteiro; soon they were even bleaker. At 10-7 with mistakes few and far between from the racket of Timo Boll, the German held three match points at 10-7. João Monteiro saved one match point but no more as the service changed to Timo Boll’s turn. It was back to basics, when it’s close do what you do well, Timo Boll did that; forehand service, move round the backhand, forehand top spin; good night.

Intriguing Contest Matters level Tiago Apolonia faced Dimitrij Ovtcharov; notably earlier in the year at the DHS Europe Cup in Lausanne, the two met in opening match in the first stage. Tiago Apolonia emerged successful in a best of five games encounter but then never won another match in the whole tournament! Later in a close seven games encounter at the semi-final stage of Men’s Singles event at the GAC Group 2014 ITTF World Tour German Open, Dimitrij Ovtcharov had won by the

GermanyInternational Focus:

minimal margin in the deciding game. However, there was a further ingredient to add to the equation; Dimitrij Ovtcharov was not in the best physical shape, still recovering from dental surgery, whilst Tiago Apolonia was arguably not in the best of form. At the quarter and semi-final stages in Lisbon, he had played in the third position in the matches against both Russia and Sweden; on both occasions he had suffered defeats. In the former he lost to Alexander Shibaev, in the latter to Jon Persson.

A New Man Cometh a new day, cometh a new challenge, cometh a new Tiago Apolonia; full of energy, fast around the court he won the first two games, the second in dominant fashion. At 10-9 in the third he held match point; German coach Jörg Rosskopf called “Time Out”. Dimitrij Ovtcharov, saved the match point before holding game point at 11-10 and then again at 12-11; at the second attempt he converted. Memories of the contest one day earlier when Tiago Apolonia had surrendered five match points against Jon Persson flashed across the mind. Was it to be déjà vu? It was not but one wondered at the start when Tiago Apolonia trailed 4-6; he won the next five points before the margin was reduced to 9-8 in favour of Portugal. There was a nervous tension in the air. Pedro Rufino called “Time Out”. The players returned; outrageous fortune for Tiago Apolonia; an un-returnable edge ball; two match points. Dimitrij Ovtcharov saved the first; then the MEO Arena erupted, 2,000 Portuguese on their feet in adulation. It was advantage Portugal.

Electric Atmosphere An electric atmosphere pervaded the arena as Marcos Freitas and Timo Boll returned to the hall to do battle; scintillating rallies with Timo Boll leading 10-8 in the first before losing the next four points, advantage Portugal. Totally focused Timo Bol returned to win the second game with a degree of comfort before in the third Marcos Freitas established a lead which was reduced to 9-6; Pedro Rufino called “Time Out”. A shrewd move, Marcos Freitas won the next two points and then led 3-0 in the fourth game.

More Drama Now, Jörg Rosskopf called for the break. Marcos Freitas moved ahead 5-1, Timo Boll levelled at 5-all. There was nothing to choose between the gladiators, at 8-all they were level, the stage at which the ball had cracked, it needed replacing. Sheer drama, honours shared on the next two points then on the Timo Boll service, match point to Marcos Freitas. Sheer pandemonium; the chance converted, the roof lifted off the MEO Arena. Portugal for the first time ever; success for host nation, Portugal proved worthy winners but great credit to Germany, in defeat they conducted themselves magnificently.

A New Level“Congratulation to the winners, they proved they had a best three players here in hall”, reflected Jörg Rosskopf. “They deserved to win, we had misfortunates before this tournament we did not have best of preparation for the players who are here; under this circumstances this team gave its best, it was not easy for us at all.” The goal for Jorg Rosskopf is clear. “We want to beat the best in the World.”

Recovering from Dental SurgeryA philosophical Jörg Rosskopf, it was a disappointed Dimitrij Ovtcharov.

“I was not ready for this; the medications that I have to take are very strong, I am not fit and I am I have not been training”, said Dimitrij Ovtcharov. “I came here and gave my best; Tiago was too strong, he played perfectly tonight.”

Unquestionably the German Team was not at full strength, conversely, Portugal responded.

Mental Strength“This was difficult tournament for us, we struggled through the group stages”, said Pedro Rufino. “The power of the team lays in their mental strength, their unity and mental power led to this success.”

Furthermore, the Portuguese Team was well prepared.

“I was well prepared. I knew what to expect”, said Marcos Freitas. “The crucial match was against Timo, I was persistent, did not give up even when he won second game.”

EmotionNow for Portugal, Dubai awaits; they qualify for the World Team Cup next January and maybe for Pedro Moura, the President of the Portuguese Table Tennis Federation more moments of emotion.

The national anthem played, he could not hold back the tears, tears of emotion, tears of joy; the day belonged to Portugal.

Favourite City, Once Again Xu Xin Wins in Incheon, Asian Games Title SecuredBy: Ian Marshall, ITTF Publications Editor 10/04/2014: Top spot on the World Ranking list retained, when the official order of merit was issued by the International Table Tennis Federation one day earlier; first position also applied to China’s Xu Xin one day later on Saturday 4th October at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon. The no.1 seed, he won the Men’s Singles title beating 17 year old colleague Fan Zhendong, the no.2 seed in the final in six games (11-6, 5-11, 11-13, 11-7, 12-10, 11-8), having overpowered the host nation’s Joo Saehyuk, the no.8 seed, at the semi-final stage (11-2, 11-5, 11-2, 11-7). A devastating penultimate round performance from Xin Xin, whose early timing and powerful forehand gave the Korean hero minimal time to draw breath. Equally, in the impressive scale of victories, Fan Zhendong was not far behind his 24 year old compatriot. He overcame Chinese Taipei’s Chuang Chih-Yuan without surrendering a single game (11-8, 11-9, 11-8, 11-7).

Important Platform “This is an important platform for me to prove myself and move closer to my Rio Dream; hence this victory is really meaningful to me”, said Xu Xin, who had sunk to the floor in emotion after recovering from a two games to one deficit to beat Fan Zhendong. “The final was very tough both of us played at a high level; I think the most important factor lies in the crucial points and my mentality”, said Xu Xin. “In the third game, I missed a game point and lost the game but I was able to adjust quickly for the fourth game; I believe that was the key to the victory.”

Third Meeting Success for Xu Xin and his second win on the international stage against Fan Zhendong in what was their third meeting. In late November he was beaten by Fan Zhendong in seven games at the semi-final stage of the Men’s Singles event at the GAC Group 2013 ITTF World Tour Swedish Open in Stockholm but when the pair met again, he turned the tables. Earlier this year in January at the GAC Group 2013 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals in Dubai, at the same stage as in Stockholm, he accounted for Fan Zhendong in five games en route to securing the title.

Fourth Final Victory over Fan Zhendong in what is surely becoming Xu Xin’s favourite city; it was no less than his fourth consecutive Men’s Singles final in Incheon and all against colleagues. On the GAC Group ITTF World Tour, the three most recent editions in Korea have all been staged in Incheon. Two years ago in 2012, Xu Xin was beaten in the final by Zhang Jike but in 2013 and earlier this year it was a different outcome. In 2013 he beat Ma Long in the final, earlier this year he secured the top prize at the expense of Fang Bo; now it is three wins in a row and for Xu Xin no doubt the most important of the Incheon successes.

TABLE TENNIS38

After winning Gold at the World Championships 2011 in Rotterdam and the gold medal at the London Olympics 2012, many jokingly remarked that the top of the podium at the world championships 2013 in Paris was already reserved – for ZHANG Jike. And they were right.


What is the key to his success?

Nobody is better suited to answer than the 26 year-old Butterfly player himself. So we invited him last year to the Butterfly headquarters and sat down with him. The result was a fascinating insight into the workings of a great champion. Thank you Zhang Jike for visiting us!

Our findings in a nutshell:

We came to the conclusion that it is not the perfect feeling, not the adaption of newest techniques or his trademark banana-flick and serve variations. It is not magic, either.

Rather, Zhang Jikes dominance is a product of a “perfect package” of technique, explosiveness and physical and mental strength. Zhang Jike sums it up:

“Explosiveness is the reason for my effective game”

“In China, this concept” –which is best translated to “explosiveness” – “plays an important role” Zhang Jike explains. It describes the ability to produce a high amount of power on contact and impart it onto the ball. To advance in the system of Chinese table tennis, a player has to get a note confirming the explosiveness from their coaches.

“I think this explosiveness is an important reason for my level of play and it makes me special.”

Continuously working on their technique and steadily advancing the basic strokes is high priority for a player in Chinese table tennis. Zhang Jike agrees:

“It is crucial for a player not to just train the basic strokes, but really pay attention to it in detail and look closely at every part, every movement and every timing. If you make this a part of everyday training routine, you can feel the effect it has on your game.”

Forehand Topspin on a long shot

As a first example of Zhang Jikes broad palette of shots, we take a look at his forehand topspin on long shots.

“To produce maximum power, I bend back my upper body and hip, put my weight on the right foot and extend my arm backwards, straightening it out.”

Besides body tension and foot placement, this is the source of Zhang Jikes power on the forehand.

TABLE TENNIS40

“During a shot, I quickly move my hip, body and arm forward and turn my body to the upper-left position, moving my weight from the right onto the left foot. I always try to hit the ball on its upper side.”

Crucial: the Elbow

Zhang Jike places great importance on the angle of his elbow during the forehand, and keep the elbow tight to the body. Keeping the arm angled like this ensures a minimum of power lost on the shot. This slide show demonstrates, how the lower arm and wrist also imitate this movement:

on back spin shots. His aim here is the same: To produce as much explosiveness as possible.

“I bend both my legs, but more so the right side and extend my arm and wrist to the lower right side, so the racket points to the ground.”

In this stroke, the explosiveness does not come from the arm or wrist, but rather from movement of the whole body (wrist, arm, body and legs) from the lower right, to the upper left corner.

“As with all movements in table tennis, it is important to keep body tension throughout.”

All of these movements demand a certain physical strength of leg- lower body and lower abdominal musculature, which very few non-professional table tennis players possess in the same way as Zhang Jike does.

Typical Zhang Jike: Hit the Ball in Front of the Body, Not on the Side

Played this way, the power is imparted onto the ball and produces a maximum of spin and speed.

“I focus more on putting pressure and rotation on the ball, than try for maximum speed.”

The world Champion knows this is not the only way of playing a forehand topspin. Many players –in fact- play it quite differently.

“My technique has been a matter of discussion among me and my coaches. We were debating whether we needed to change the whole technique, making it shorter and tighter. But in the end, this technique is unique to me and my playing system and it “lives” on me stepping back from the table and play at least two topspins to score.”

Forehand Topspin on Backspin

A typical feature in Zhang Jikes play is his powerful forehand topspin with heavy rotation


Contrary to most others, Zhang Jike hits the ball in front of his body and accelerates it, supported by his legs and the movement of his body.

“This technique enables me to stand a bit further from the table so I can remain in my neutral stance and attack immediately with a topspin.”

the movement of the wrist plays a bigger role. Important to Zhang Jike:

“On the backhand topspin on long shots I try to bend my body over the ball and close the racket as much as possible. In contrast to the forehand shot, there is much less space available on the backhand, so the stroke needs to be short and compacted.”

Backhand-Topspin on Long Shots

Let’s have a look at Zhang Jikes feared backhand topspin. The principle is quite the same as on the forehand side, but the shot is more complex and

The Swing Back

On the backhand topspin, Zhang Jike lifts up his elbow, bends his body slightly to the side and positions the racket in front of his body and closes it.

Looking at the picture, two other aspects are obvious:

• The elbow is elevated and forwardly positioned• The wrist is bend towards the body

The wrist plays an important role in Zhang Jikes topspin, it is –in this picture- pointed towards his body. While the performance of the shot can be increased by this complex swing-back, it is not recommended for players with less exercise, as it can be a source of mistakes if not executed properly. Practise makes perfect.

The Stroke

On contact with the ball Zhang Jike manages to impart power and spin and take the initiative in a rally. Its intentional effect is that many players struggle to deal with his backhand topspin. The Olympic champion explains his technique:

TABLE TENNIS42

“By closing the racket as much as possible, I make sure to hit the upper side of the ball, not smash against it. This creates the spin and the low trajectory and pressures the opponent immediately. It is difficult but also crucial to bend the upper body over the ball in order to play it in the right direction, especially against offensive shots. I also make sure to hit the ball early on the bounce and make my elbow the angling point of the whole shot, supported by the wrist movement. The whole shot becomes unstable, once you move the elbow too much. It has to remain fixed, so you move at a constant angle relative to the ball.”

The picture set to the left illustrates the complex movement of Zhang Jikes backhand topspin on long shots.

Backhand Topspin on Back Spin

In this last special, we take a look at Zhang Jike’s special technique on playing a backhand topspin on back spin.

Zhang Jike places great value on hitting the ball aggressively on the backhand, not wait for the option to play a forehand topspin but rather immediately attack.

“With the backhand topspin against backspin it is not possible to support the stroke with the movement of the upper body the same way you could with the forehand”, he says. “In order to compensate you have to tighten the abdominal muscles, which also stabilizes the whole movement of the shot. On this shot as well, I try to hit the ball on its upper side with a closed racket.”

The difference to the backhand against long shots can be seen in the picture set to the right.

Additional Insights into Zhang Jike’s Special Technique

Watching Zhang Jike demonstrating his abilities and technique over the day, we were able to get additional insights into his unique playing style.

To have a stable view on the ball and the table, Zhang Jike does not change the line or angle of his view during a shot. As you can see in the picture (right, bottom), his free arm (left arm) remains at the same level (roughly the level of the bounce) and barely moves during a shot. These two facts help him stabilize the stroke even more.

“It helps me to keep my body balanced, so I have trained myself not to move my free arm upwards with my body.”

Just Add Variation COACHING

By Samson Dubina You probably know that you need to vary your loops. However, it is very difficult to consistently give good variation if you haven’t trained for it in practice. In this article, I’m going to suggest 4 variations that you should add to your forehand loop. Vary the degree of spin. By adding more or less spin to each ball, you will be able to learn to better control the ball and you will make it more difficult for your opponent to comfortably block your loop. If you add the no-spin variation, be careful not to loop with too much speed. The more topspin that you add to your loop, the more potential for speed that you can have while still maintaining consistency. Vary your distance from the table. Against some blockers, you need to stay quite close to the table in order to loop. Against some counterattacking/smashing players, you need to give yourself a bit more distance from the table in order to loop. Regardless of who you are up against, it is critical that you be able to smoothly move in-and-out away from the table. If you have merely been practicing side-to-side footwork, it is time for you to add the in-and-out variations to your practices. Vary your ball placement. Improving your ball placement is one of the fastest ways to improve your game. Against those players who are comfortable with both backhand and forehand, you should

often target the center transition point. Against those players who are trying to play full-table forehand or full-table backhand, then you need to work the angles in order to make them play with their weak side. When practicing ball placement, try not to be too self-focused on your stroke, but instead be focused more on your opponent – his strengths and his weaknesses. Vary the type of spin. By adding various amounts of sidespin to the ball, you can make it much more difficult for your opponent to block or counterloop. Practice adding slight amounts of sidespin to your topspin loop. Once you become consistent at that skill, next try to add more sidespin or even sidespin-backspin. The more topspin you apply, the more speed that you can add to your loop. If you loop with pure sidespin or sidespin backspin, make sure that you focus on control, not power. Watch this short clip where I demonstrate the 4 variations with my forehand loop.

a table tennis player is losing a point he often lobs in desperation. In chess the pawns are the weakest shot, but used properly, they can win by supporting stronger pieces, by smothering an opponent, or by getting “queened.” In table tennis the push is often the weakest shot, but you can win with it by using it to set up stronger shots, by smothering an opponent with well-placed pushes, or by turning it into a powerful weapon with quickness, placement, heavy backspin, or keeping it short. When a chess player doesn’t know how to react to an opponent’s opening, he studies and learns the proper moves. When a table tennis player can’t return an opponent’s serve, he practices and learns the proper receives. In chess, you have a lot of time to think and plan before each move. In table tennis you have a lot of time to think and plan before each match. In speed chess, you have little time to think and plan before each move. In table tennis you have little time to think and plan before the next point. In chess, you run into time trouble if you can’t quickly and instinctively see the right move in most circumstances. In table tennis you run into trouble if you can’t quickly and instinctively see the right shot in most circumstances. So yes, table tennis is just chess at lightning speed. Which means, of course, that chess is simply table tennis at a glacial pace!

Why Table Tennis Is Really Chess at Light Speed

By Larry Hodges, We often say table tennis is chess at light speed. It has all the tactics of chess except you don’t have time to think things over - there’s no time clock, just a ball coming at you, often at dizzying speeds. But table tennis is more like chess in other ways as well. Most chess openings involve pushing pawns as players maneuver to control the center of the board and attack with their stronger pieces. Most table tennis rallies start with pushing as players maneuver to control the table and attack with their stronger shots. Chess players try to control the board early on with their bishops and knights, which set up their more powerful pieces, the rooks and queen. Table tennis players try to take control of the rally early on with their opening loops and drives, which set up their more powerful shots, their smashes and loop kills. Chess players often lose when they bring out their queen too early, before their other pieces are in position to support it. Table tennis players often lose when they try to smash or loop kill too early in the rally, before they’ve set up the shot. In chess, if you lose your queen without taking the opponent’s queen, you almost always lose. In table tennis, if you can’t get your best shot into play while your opponent can, you almost always lose.In chess you can start off by pushing your pawn one or two squares. In table tennis you can start off by pushing short or long.Chess players all have a weakness - their king, which they must guard at all times. Table tennis players all have weaknesses, and they must guard those weaknesses at all times. When a chess player is losing he often tries for a stalemate in desperation. When

Aggressive Serves (Tip of The MonTh: ocTober)

Tips of the Month

A Good Loss(Tip of The MonTh: SepTeMber)

Some opponents are a little weak or tentative with their attacking shots. Against them, you may want to use deep and aggressive services that some other opponents could loop for winners.

A particularly useful version of this is a fast sidespin-topspin serve to the forehand side, where you force your opponent to move to make the play. An opponent with a somewhat shaky loop (or slow feet) is likely to provide a weak topspin shot for your attacking enjoyment. Be sure to stay alert and on your toes for playing the third ball, as you may get an odd return back that requires some movement to pound properly.

Some of your best matches may have been losses. While some players won’t admit this (because they care only about winning), it’s helpful and realistic to allow yourself a mental reward for an outstanding effort that may have run into someone stronger on the day.

However, you should not let yourself accept this reward while the match is still underway --by thinking that it was a good effort even if you lose. That thought can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. To fight this tendency, focus on the need to have (and execute) an affirmative strategy to win those last few points.

September Newgy Akron OhioGiant Round Robin Table Tennis Tournament On September 26-27, the Newgy Akron Open took center stage at Walsh University’s Alumni Arena. The new facility hosted the northeast Ohio’s largest event with 133 registered players with excellent conditions including 800 lux lighting, wood floor, and 28’ ceilings. Friday events kicked off with the warm-up events: Open doubles, family doubles, handicap, and junior recreational. The elite Lindenwood University team dominated Friday play with taking first in Handicap and top 4 in Open Doubles. Saturday featured round robin groups of 8 players with the top 4 advancing from each group. In the Open Giant RR quarterfinals 2600-level Xue Feng Jia chopped and looped his way to a 3-0 victory over Lindenwood’s top player Alex Legaria next up Jiaqi Zheng rated 2548 took down Santiago Seville 3-0. Khoa followed suit with a 3-0 win over Gabriel Skolnick. Micaiah Skolnick nearly broke the trend with a 8-5 lead in the fifth over Samson Dubina. Micaiah was stopped short with an 11-9 loss. In the Open semifinals US #1 ranked Olympic eligible female player Jiaqi Zheng took down 2x Olympian Khoa Nguyen 3-1 to advance to the finals. In the other semifinals, former Chinese Superleague player Xue Feng Jia using excellent spin variation and consistency took down Ohio’s #1 player Samson Dubina 3-0. With the experienced Xue Feng Jia easily cruising through 10 straight matches, it looked as if he would take the title and $1000 first place cash. However, Jiaqi Zheng played a smart game and Xue Feng Jia was not able to adjust to her pips attacks and drop shots. Congrats to Jiaqi Zheng for winning her first Newgy Akron Open title. Best wishes to her as she prepares to represent the US at the 2016 Olympics!

Juniors Dominate Georgia Gamesby Wendell Dillon Although we had a full slate of events, juniors dominated the 2014 Georgia Games,, July 19 & 20. We played the junior events on Saturday along with the adult Georgia Cup. This year we started a new event: the Cadet Cup for teams of players under 15 years old. All other adult events were played on Sunday, with juniors also eligible for most events. The team events were split between the two dominant professional clubs. The Atlanta Table Tennis Academy (ATTA) won the Georgia Cup, which was started in 1977. Yang’s Table Tennis Academy won the inaugural Cadet Cup, captained by 12 year old Emilie Lin. The Cadet Cup is a 3 player team playing the world team format of up to 5 singles matches. Each team had to have at least one boy and one girl play each team match. The final team match went down to the 5th individual match with Yang’s defeating ATTA 11-8 in the 5th. The youth movement continued on Sunday with 12 year old Emilie Lin winning the Women’s Singles and juniors doing well in the Men’s singles and class events. 40+ Carlos Ko won the Men’s Singles but14 year old Albert Zhang defeated #2 seed 30+ John Mar in the semifinal and 15 year old James S Wang defeated John in the Bronze medal match. The Thomas Nunes Sportsmanship Trophy was awarded to John Mar. Other winners were: (Because Tennessee doesn’t have a state games competition we welcome them to the Georgia Games. If a player from TN wins a medal, the same medal will be given to the next highest Georgia player)

Sky High September OpenAurora, Colorado – September 28th.by Richard McAfee The Sky High Table Tennis Club (Aurora,CO) held its fourth USATT Sanctioned Tournament of the Year on September 28th, 2014. Thirty five players from around Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico took part. The tournament featured the popular “Giant Round Robin” format with players competing in groups of five in the morning to determine their placements in the afternoon divisions. Division play consisted of five divisions each consisting of a round robin of 7 players. In the A Division, Rafael Fuenmayor Lozada went undefeated and collected the trophy and $125 first place prize. Rafael who is from Venezuela, had not played in the USA since 2012 and came in with a rating of only 1932. However, it was quickly apparent that this 17 year old was very much improved and his real rating was very much higher. Rafael is left-handed and his game features a very modern topspin attacking style with lots of power on both sides. Coming in second in the A Division was Edward Yue. Ed plays a close to the table blocking game and has been making steady progress over the last year. For his excellent play, Ed took home the runner-up trophy and $50.The crowd favorite was 9-year old, Jaden Ly. Jaden pulled several upsets, including defeating Larry Rose to take the Division E Championship. Jaden’s dad, Phong Ly also had a great day, as he upset the number #seeded Kyle Angeles in the preliminary round robin, to make his way into the A Division.It takes a lot of work to organize and run a tournament and Sky High is blessed to have a great tournament staff. A big “thank you” to: Josh Harris and Kyle Angeles (Field of Play Operations), Joyce McCready (Results and Computer Operations), Diane McAfee (Athlete Support), and Richard McAfee (Referee and Director). Sky High would like to thank our sponsors, PepPod and Joola, for all their support for our events.

Congratulations to all the winners!

TABLE TENNIS66

A Visit from St. Timothyby Larry Hodges As readers here know, Tim Boggan moved in with me recently so I could do the page layouts and photo work on his latest History of U.S. Table Tennis book - this is Volume 15! He's been writing and publishing these books for about 15 years, moving in with me about once a year for 10-14 days. We expect to finish the current one by the end of next week. (We've done the covers and have finished seven of the 25 chapters.) You can learn more about these books (and buy them!) at Tim Boggan Table Tennis, which I created and maintain for him.

Tim Boggan, 84, is a member of the U.S. Table Tennis Hall of Fame. His two sons, Eric and Scott Boggan, both were USA Men's Singles Champions and are members of the USATT Hall of Fame. I’m a HOF member also. Eric was top 20 in the world. The first thing to know about Tim is that he keeps strange hours. He goes to bed around 7:30 PM each night, and gets up around 3:00 AM.

This means he's impatiently waiting for me to get started each morning. While he's here I do the bulk of my blog entries the night before, but in the mornings before we start I still have to get any new table tennis items, and put it up. Typically we start work by 6:30AM. Except for a 30-minute lunch break, we work until 2:30 PM. That's when I have to leave Mon-Fri to pick up kids for our afterschool program, which lasts until 4:30 PM. I usually then have group or private coaching for several more hours, so I don't get home until sometime between 7:30 and 9:00 PM - and Tim's already in bed. So I do my blog, catch up on other work, read a bit, and go to bed. (Tim sleeps on the sofa in my office.) Then I get up by 5:30 AM and we start over. (On weekends it'll be even busier.) This is how we actually do the work. I work on my desktop computer with Tim sitting next to me, looking over my shoulder. He comes prepared, with printouts of each chapter, and notes on where each picture goes. We move through the chapters one photo at a time. Since the books typically are about 500 pages with 900 photos, it's a huge job. We're greatly helped by still another U.S. Table Tennis Hall of Famer, Mal Anderson, photographer extraordinaire. Over half

of the photos used are by him. He also helps by scanning the large majority of photos we'll use in advance. When it's time to put in a photo (~900 times per volume), as Tim watches over my shoulder I open the photo, clean it up in Photoshop, and then place it where Tim needs it. Then he gives me the caption and the "photo by" credit, and I put

them in. Then we continue. As we move through each chapter I do the page layouts, make sure everything lines up, etc. Since many of the scans are from newsprint or from old, beaten-up or vintage photos, I spend a lot of time cleaning

up the photos in Photoshop. I'm sort of an expert at that, from my 12 years as editor of USA Table Tennis Magazine. But Tim is pretty picky about one thing - he's constantly scanning the backgrounds of pictures, and always wants them cleaned up. If there's someone standing in the

background that detracts from the person featured in the photo . . . well, I try not to get too emotionally attached to that person. He often mysteriously disappears. I also spend a lot of time removing blemishes

from backgrounds. If there's a pixel that shouldn't be there, Tim will find it and indignantly demand that the guilty pixel be removed. When the volume is done, I do a lot of pre-press work, getting it into proper PDF format for the printer. I also create the files so we can put it up for sale on Amazon. Then I put together the ads for the newest volume. Then I sleep for a week. Some of the side effects off all this work? Let's just say I usually do not have Mountain Dew at 7AM. (I normally restrict my soft drinks

to one 7.5 oz can per day, but I'm a bit lax on that during Tim's stays.) But on the days that I get back early from coaching (only twice a week it looks like)

Tim: “Something wrong here.” (Said approximately every five minutes.)Larry: “Are we done yet?” (Said approximately every five minutes.)Tim: “We’re doing fine. We’re doing fine. (Said approximately every five minutes.)

Larry: “I didn’t know you were a devout Muslim.”Tim: “I’m not!”Larry: “Then why are you writing about a ‘South Koran’?”(He had me change it to “South Korean.”)

Tim: “Die Lily!”(Okay, he wasn’t threatening U.S. National Coach Lily Yip; he was referring to photos of Dai Lili, former Chinese champion.)

Larry: “Is that a ‘yes’ yes, or an ‘I’m not paying attention’ yes?”

Larry: “Photo by?”Tim: “Nobody.”Larry: “Three . . . two . . . one . . .”Tim: “Sorry, photo by Mal Anderson.”

Larry: “Does that picture add to the book?”Tim: “No. Put it in anyway.”

Larry: “Given the choice between doing it right or doing it your way, what do you want to do?”

Larry: “While I’m changing these historically accurate pictures by changing them for you, should I fix up their technique as well?”

he treats me to extravagant meals at nice restaurants. It wouldn't be right to not mention Tim's ongoing wars with my gate, front door, and microwave. Let's just say he and they don't see eye to eye. But eventually he always wins, but only after a lot of, well, scrimmaging and loud cussing.

December 23, 1922 – September 7, 2014by Dean Johnson

In December 2008, I paid a visit to Sally & Carlton Prouty at their condo in Ft. Myers, Florida. For a full day, we reminisced, looked at photos and read articles which had been lovingly cared for and meticulously organized by her father, Fred Green. The photos and articles in the album documented Sally’s career from her early teens in the mid-1930s, through the phenomenal ‘40s when she won 5 consecutive Women’s Singles Championships, through the 1950s during which she continued to compete, winning 3Mixed Double titles with her friend Sol Schiff and 1 with 2-time World Champion Johnny Leach. Sally was also a member of the U.S. team to the Worlds in Utrecht, Holland in 1955. In addition to the World Championships, she competed in the British Open in London, and the German Open in Kiel. She also toured military bases in Germany where the team played exhibition matches for U.S. troops. Sally won her first national women’s title in 1940, then went on to win four more successive titles – in New York, Detroit, St. Louis and, again in 1944 in St. Louis where she defeated legendary women’s champion Leah Thall (later Neuberger) in the final. In the “Classic Era” of table tennis, only Dick Miles has equaled Sally’s astonishing record of winning five consecutive national titles. Sally’s career, however, was not limited to table tennis. Sally was an accomplished musician – piano and organ player and singer – a graduate of Butler University and the Jordan Conservatory of Music; she was a competitive swimmer, equestrian rider and bowler as well as a tennis player and tennis instructor. In 2002, at age 80, Sally began a new career. She and Carlton began to perform at local senior centers; Sally played the piano and sang while Carlton (at age 87) danced with the female residents of the centers. (Sadly, Carlton died in January of this year at age 98.) Before leaving for dinner, Sally and Carlton offered to entertain me with a sample of their senior center routine. While Sally sang in her extraordinarily strong and youthful voice, she accompanied herself on the piano while Carlton danced lightly around the room. It was a wonderful experience hearing and watching the two of them perform. In addition to Sally’s many other talents and skills, she was a highly creative writer. Here, in her own words is Sally’s life story titled:

Life’s Dinner Menu is Served – At A Table For Two

horsd’oeurves

I was born in St. Louis, Missouri on December 23, 1922. My first major challenge in life was to survive a life-threatening surgery to correct an abdominal condition at the age of 6 weeks. At age 3, I began playing piano by ear and have played it all my life. Starting at age 6, I entertained at family house parties

and sing-alongs. At age 4, I started swimming, dancing and elocution classes. As a pre-teen, I swam for the Riviera Club in Indianapolis and trained as a swimmer and diver for the purpose of participating in the Olympic Games. Our team coach was an influential and inspirational man named Bud Sawin who eventually became an Olympic swimming coach. At age 11, a diving accident ended my Olympic dreams. After 1 year I was able to swim but was never again able to compete.

Entrée

In 1933, at the end of my 11th year, I started to play table tennis. At first, my reason for taking up the game was to improve my coordination and reflexes. My father, Fred, took on the responsibility of helping me to recover. My desire to greatly improve and to compete in the sport of table tennis became evident to me and to others in a very short time. Having an innate drive for perfection, I was self-driven to excel to the best of my ability. This trait can be both a blessing and a curse. It promotes both endless frustration on the one hand and the heights of exhilaration on the other. Even in my octogenarian years, this urge has never abated.

Après le diner

Which part of a meal is the best? There are some that would say “dessert”. . . and I would certainly agree! In 2001, while playing the piano in the unbelievably beautiful atrium of our local Health Park Medical Center, a lovely lady came over to me and asked me to call her in the morning. When I called she asked me to provide piano entertainment for the residents of an assisted living home. As a result, another fantastic phase of my life began. In a very short period of time, a new career began for me – an 80+ year old, almost-to-be great grandmother! At the time of this writing, Carlton and I have formed yet another of our working partnerships. Like all of those in the past, this one has also been a great success. I play the piano and, because of the extensive repertoire I’ve developed over the years, I’m able to play many of the songs requested by our audiences –thereby bringing back to them the beautiful memories they love to recall. By playing these requests, I also have the assurance that I’m playing the music my audience wants to hear. As I said, this business is a partnership. And my partner is neither passive nor silent! He is a dancer and the ladies love him! Many of the folks in our audience are in wheel chairs and not all of them are able to get up and dance. Well, my dancer takes good care of that! He takes the ladies by both hands and they sway in time to the music. The rest of the audience claps in time to the music. “Mr. Wonderful” Is what everyone calls Carlton, my partner. People often ask me what his real name

In Memoriam


happens to be! Aside from dancing, this great partner carries all of my music and does all of the driving. What a guy at 94 years young! This “Dessert” phase has turned out to be the most rewarding phase of my public life. To hear my audiences sing, to see them smile and be happy makes each day special. As a fellow traveler on the senior side of the coin, it is such a great privilege to be involved in this kind of work. If you have a talent, share it with others! It is practically a sin not to share it. Giving of yourself is the most important part of life. It is extremely heartwarming to be able to make other people happy. My goal, even before I was a teen-ager, was to become a United States Table Tennis Champion. I won the title in 1940 at age 17 and continued to defend it for the next four years. Rather than retire after winning the title for five consecutive years, I only relinquished it by being defeated in 1945. I did not easily hand this great honor to anyone else. They had to earn it! When that time came, and the new champion was crowned,

she received my heartfelt congratulations for a job well done! As I reflect on my career in many fields, I recall the tedious hours of practice and youthful impatience, the anxiety of competition and periods of frustration and disappointment. By being able to overcome these obstacles, I reached most of the goals I set for myself. No one gets to the top alone! I’m so thankful to those whose dedication to me helped me to the top. I could not have done it without them! Although my father Fred is now gone, I still hear the same encouraging voice today that I heard, and heeded, since childhood. That voice of love and support has been there for me through all of the many crisis in my life. And what does dad’s voice tell me? “Sally, it is better to be a ‘has been’ than a ‘never was.’”

gets crazy and talks about it like they are going to hit the Jackpot or something! Although it’s a great a start, we still need to think much bigger and better. Take a sport like bass fishing 125,000 to 1 million being the biggest for the first place winner! Not to take anything away from fishing but cmon man, it is fishing!

The motto of table tennis should simply just be “bigger and better!” Once that happens everything else will just fall in place!

Once again I just want to thank all you guys for the support and let all help in getting this sport to be bigger and better!

By Wally Green

Hey guys hope all of you are well and had amazing summers! This summer was insanely crazy for me! From competing in China and Korea Opens to training in Beijing to coaching my student in international junior /cadet competition, doing celebrity exhibitions in Hong Kong for Art Basel, and hosting basketball superstar Chris Paul’s (CP3) event in Las Vegas.

Its been pretty crazy!

I think I spent only 7 days total in the US the whole summer! Anyway I would really like to take the time out to thank all of you who watched, purchased, and or shared the worlds first hip hop song about table tennis. “A Game Nobody knows!” It already has over 93,000 views

on YouTube worldwide, but it all started here! So with that in mind I would really like to thank you guys for the support, and if you haven’t seen it yet Please check it out!

As you guys already may know my main goal is to promote and make this sport a super “kool” and popular sport in the US as well as a big money sport!

I want you guys to eventually make some real money for the all the hard work you put in. For all the countless hours of training you put in for what?? To go and win $200!? This is unacceptable! We have to make it better!

When there’s a tournament promotes $2500 as first prize, which is very rare! everyone
