I'd Pay To See That!

The March edition of Butterfly News is now out, and while most of it still reads like a giant Butterfly advertisement, there are still some nuggets of great information in there - such as the high speed photographic step by step analysis of Timo Boll's forehand topspin down the line, and the different possibilities for positioning yourself before serving and the reasons why you might choose one over the other.

Also on the ITTF website is an intriguing article about a new and different type of table tennis competition to be held in China - the Spectacular Pairs Tournament. I'll leave it to you to read the details, but with a line up including Guo Yuehua & Chen Xinhua, Koji Matsushita & Hiroshi Shibutani, Ulf Carlsson & Jörgen Persson, the Saive brothers, and even a female pairing of Krisztina Toth & Renata Strbikova, and with the winners being the ones to produce the most exciting table tennis, it sounds like it has the potential to be a real crowd pleaser.
