Thanks for the link. Kunal C. just wasn't ready to win. Got very tight after the changeover. I guess still young, hopefully will learn and improve. Congratulations to Jim Butler for the win, experience definitely paid off.

I think that there is an increasing appreciation that winning is not just about having the better technique. People who think that intangibles don't play a role in winning haven't seen enough chokers. Congrats to both Jim and Kunal for a great match which I wish I could have seen to the conclusion live. |

What is Jimmy using... the backhand sounds thin.

yes, i think after the changeover (when the livestream went dead......)
kunal obviously was nervous and most definitely short-armed a few fh counters, which gave jimmy life :)

Anybody know why Jim Butler had 2 different colored shoes on? And Congrats Jim Butler. Great touch and strategy, not just about the power game. Gives me hope that past our primes can win too.

What's strange about that - he also had 2 different colored rubbers The commentators said that this was some kind of whim or superstition. Maybe the title will help him get a sponsor and proper clothes? Edited by amateur - 12/22/2014 at 6:27pm |

It is the deal on Amazon. You need to buy two pairs of those ASCIS volleyball shoes to get 30% off. By the way, why were they playing in such slow paces? My feeling is that they are many levels below those CNT members.

One guy is below 15 and the other guy is over 40 - how many CNT players are in that age range?

Jim Butler has defeated the likes of Saive and Eloi (in their primes), among others in big events, so don't underestimate his level of talent. Edited by LOOPMEISTER - 12/23/2014 at 11:03am |

I asked him and he said that it was too long to explain (or likely to be worth explaining). Maybe Baal can get the full story some time.

No, just the playoff between the winners of U-16 and O-40. Players from other age groups defaulted / boycotted / choked / didn't care Butler's highest world ranking was around 70. |

#70 Don't disrespect this guy. He's had an unbelievable career, overcome some pretty serious injuries. Even now he wins when clearly you can see him cramping up a lot. http://www.teamusa.org/usa-table-tennis/athletes/Jim-Butler

The statement is meaningless since Sweden had high level matches even when it's population was nothing compared to China and USA. Population is not a driver of TT Talent per se. You can express your opinion of the match without backing it up with meaningless drivel to make it sound intelligent.

Only 1/10 of 320M know Table Tennis (the rest only know basement Ping Pong), and 1/10 of that 1/10 are interested in serious/competitive TT. |

First of all, many thanks for the veodo and link so that we can see how Jim turned it around during the second half of game 7.
Secondly, this is a huge comeback-from-retirement story/sucess. To me, its' bigger than Michael Jordan's. Thirdly, Jim's game once again showed TT is not just about speed and power, other components such as spin, control, placement, change in pace/rhythm and variation are equally important. Jim was no longer 2750 in speed and power in the tourney. But his understanding about TT and experience served him well to win the whole thing. He was the best player for the tourney and he deserved the title more than anybody else.
