To answer your question Jonan; NO country. "Basement ping pong at its best" is an oxymoron. Good Day |

It rivals TBS9x's dungeon that he plays in If I had a bomb shelter, it would most certainly contain a ping pong table. |

You guys don't laugh. You should know you can't judge people's level based on vids. They might be over 2200 USATT rating...

>..< ugh, this kind of stuff just makes me avoid casual players. I know it's elitism and I do enjoy trying to help teach people, but gosh...it's like...eating really nice food and then eating at a disgusting disgusting fast food place, you just want to puke it up and never eat there again. I actually avoid going to some people's apartment because they have a table there but they have sports craft paddles and 1 star balls and play ping pong and they know I play at the club so they want me to play but I just cant do it...

Al though I don't avoid them like you do, I still agree with you. Basement TT and competitive TT are miles apart. I've been challenged to play under similar circumstances, and al though I've won most of the time, it can not be compared to serious TT. One basement player did beat me roughly 3 times out of 10 in these conditions, but when we have played in a real venue, I've beaten him every time. So the lesson to be learned is, enjoy basement TT, but don't take it to seriously. |

I'd say let those jokers have their fun and take their money from them if they offer a match for who pays for dinner.

I will play anyone, anywhere, its for the love of the game, and for the camaraderie of those who share a similar passion. As for the level of the game and looking down upon basement players, I only avoid players with a bad attitude towards the sport, and towards sportsmanship.
I go to a place to play now and then which has players who were all about the same level as the guys in the second vid, could not serve, just fished all the balls back high, had no idea how to loop or top spin and had no backhands, or some had just a backhand that they would twist around to play on their forehands as well. After a while they started to look forward to my visits and I picked the ones that showed a genuine willingness to learn and improve their game and to try and get out of the basement mold. And I say that they have come a long way over the past couple of months. So I am glad I agreed to go back there. They are all still weird players with loads of bad habits that they need to unlearn, even after unlearning lots, but they are now closer to becoming table tennis players. Not saying it is all because of me, I place great emphasis on their desire to learn. But my point is, I will play anywhere, like Bmonkey said. |
