65.0. "Official Table Tennis Note" by HOCKEY::HAYES (This body climbed Mt. Washington) Thu Jan 10 1991 22:33

    Might as well start this again...

    I'll announce upcoming tournaments as I hear about them.

    Of course, if you have any questions concerning table tennis, I'll do
    my best to answer them.  Or, if you're every looking for someone to
    play against.....

    The following excerpt is from "The President's Point" portion of the
    November/December 1990 issue of Table Tennis Topics.  The article was
    written by USTTA president, Dan Seemiller.

	"The dates and site of the 1991 U.S. Open have been determined and
	the winner of this bid was Midland, Michigan.  The dates are June
	19-23, 1991.  The ITTF has guaranteed the attendance of the world's
	leading players.  Plan on being there!  The U.S. Open is now on a
	bid system and the USTTA received 3 excellent bids.  The other two
	were Greensboro, NC and Lakeland, FL.  Midland is located 100 miles
	north of Detroit and is home to the Dow Corporation and Mr. Frank
	Chen.  Mr. Chen's bid was overwhelming and included guarantees of
	200 volunteers and over $40,000 sponsorship money already raised.

	Midland is a city of 50,000 and is located only 10 minutes drive
	from Saginaw Bay.  I have personally inspected the playing site
	and the city and this is going to be a great U.S. Open.  Mr. Chen
	is a native of Taiwan and is very involved in table tennis.
	Together we hope to put on a show that will be great for the players,
	the sponsors, the city of Midland, and the international participants.
	Dow Corporation is Midland and an excellent corporate connection
	for the USTTA.  So look for your entry and plan on attending this
	year's U.S. Open.  The level of play will approach a World level
	tournament."

	There will be a tournament at Brown University, in Providence, RI,
	on Sunday, January 27, and Saturday, February 2 (no, I don't know
	why they chose "Super Sunday" to play a tournament...).  This is
	a USTTA sanctioned event.

Men's Singles Semifinals
------------------------

Yoo Nam Kyu (Korea, 1988 Olympic Gold Medalist)
    def.
Johhny Huang (Canada, North American Champion)

3 games to 1.  Huang took the first game, Kyu took the second.  Third game
went to deuce...definitely the highlight of the tournament.  Huang took
the advantage in deuce 4 times, but could not put Kyu away.  Kyu came back
with some incredible shots to tie it up on each disadvantage.  Kyu finally
broke through and took the game 26-24.  Huang seemed to lose his composure
here, and Kyu took the 4th game to advance to the finals.


Zoran Primorac (Yugoslavia)
    def.
Ding Yi (Austria)

3 games to 1.  Primorac was in control the first two games, defeating Yi
fairly easily.  Yi fought back and took the third game, and jumped out to
a 12-3 lead in the fourth.  It looked like Primorac was on the edge of
losing it, but then went on an incredible run of 8 straight points.  Yi
was helpless during this time, but finally got another point (13-11).
Primorac then ran off another streak of 6 or 7 points, and cruised on to
win the game and the match 21-14.


Men's Singles Finals
--------------------

Zoran Primorac
   def.
Yoo Nam Kyu

This was a highly entertaining match.  I was sitting in the stands very near
to some of the other members of the Korean team (they cheered quite loudly
at every point Kyu won).  Kyu took the first two games without too much
difficulty, and it looked like it would be a quick match.  But Primorac
fought back to win the third game in deuce.  The momentum started to shift,
as Primorac took the fourth.  The fifth game saw Primorac completely in
control, as he took the match and the 1991 U.S. Open Championship, along with
the $10,000 first prize, 21-10.

    Any recommendations on paddles?  I found a paddle surfaced with light
    grade sandpaper.  Is this the type used by the big guns?  It's the best
    I've used so far.  Do they make self-adhesive sandpaper for these which
    would allow you to resurface them?

    Well, before I select a paddle, I check out the cheeks.  Light grade
    sandpaper works well with your Iris Chacon models.  However, I like the
    studded one with the little rubber nobby's is a favorite of upper crust
    prep school types.  For Lola Folana types, I like a smaller paddle with
    extra course sandpaper.

65.21CAM::WAYChange Node Id - The B* ChainsawWed Sep 04 1991 15:0013
The secret is in the dimpling on the paddle.

Without a doubt, the more dimples, the better aerodynamic properties.

A totally flat paddle (like a slick racing tire) gives GREAT adhesion,
and produces more cries of "Thank you sir, may I have another".

A dimpled paddle produces much greater speed, and a heartier sting
that takes the breath away.

    Sandpaper paddles are not allowed at USTTA-sanctioned tournaments, except
    possibly for special events specifically for non-regulation paddles.

    The most common type of paddle used today has inverted rubber with a layer
    of sponge.  These produce the highest velocity and greatest amount of
    spin.  There are also those who use pips-out rubber, which (depending on
    the length of the pips) is used for very deceptive and unpredictable
    shots, or to minimize the effect of your opponents' spin.

65.24EARRTH::BROOKSAre you down with O.P.P. ?Mon Sep 23 1991 14:307
    Donald, I went MVP Sports and they have some really good pips in
    paddles, but I really grew up on pips out (and I can't control pips in
    that well - yet), where is a good store for a *good* pips-out paddle,
    or for some of that anti-topspin rubber ? I've been dying to try out an
    anti-topsin paddle since I first read about one ...
    
    Doc
65.25HOCKEY::HAYESGive blood....play hockey!Thu Oct 03 1991 12:1120
    Doc,

    Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of places (ie, sporting goods stores)
    which sell good rubber.  There are a few independent sellers, though.
    I can try and get a few names, if you like.

    I buy most of my rubber through the mail from a supplier in Oregon (it's
    called Paddle Palace...I don't have the address handy right at this
    moment).  They have a toll-free number for orders, the owners are *very*
    knowledgeable, and very helpful if you have questions.  They ship orders
    out UPS the same day as you order, so it gets here in just a few days.

    Another place I just thought of right now is Sharpshooters Billiards,
    on Amherst Street in Nashua.  The owner is just getting in to becoming
    a distributer for Butterfly equipment, so he may have something.

    Donald

65.34Looking for TT clubZEKE::VICKIEWed Mar 18 1992 12:545
    Question, does anyone know of a table tennis club in the New Hampshire
    area.I'm getting tired of beating up on my family.Looking for some good
    competition in the area.
    
    R.Jones
65.35HOCKEY::HAYESLife in the oncoming laneWed Mar 18 1992 23:2920
    re .34:

    The New Hampshire Table Tennis Club meets Tuesdays nights at the Boy's
    and Girl's Club on Union Street, Manchester.  Also, another branch of
    our club meets Thursdays (I think) at New Hampshire College in Hooksett.
    There is also another club in Claremont....I've never been to that one,
    but I know the guys who run it, and could find out more if you like.

    There are also clubs in Massachusetts, which may be further than you
    want to travel.  The ones I can think of off the top of my head are in
    Fitchburg, Waltham, MIT, and Somerville.  Let me know if you would
    like more details.

    There are also a few guys who play at a billiards place in Nashua
    (Cue-tips (sp) in the Simineau (sp....again) Plaza) on Mondays and
    Wednesdays.  Supposedly, they run a handicap tournament (better player
    has to spot points) every Sunday.  I haven't been down there yet, but
    will make it one of these days.

Gym is tan building on right.  To get back to the Turnpike, turn right onto

(Cambridge exit).  Bear right.  Turn right just before bridge onto Storrow
Drive.  Continue as above.  Parking:  There is a parking lot next to the gym
which is free Sunday, but you may have to pay on Saturday.  Parking on
Commonwealth Ave. is free Sunday and metered Saturday ($2 in quarters for 4
hours).  If you turn left onto COmmonwealth Ave., you will find two parking
lots within a block at 510 and 766 Commonwealth Ave.

AWARDS:  In the events were the award is not money, you will receive your
choice of a trophy, equipment, or a shirt.  Every player will receive a small
gift.

ELIGIBILITY:  You must be a member of the USTTA.  If you are not a member, then
you must join the USTTA by including the membership fee with your entry fee.
Members receive Topics, the magazine of the USTTA.  If you are a member, then
you must bring your membership card or a valid membership receipt (the special
form you received when you purchased your membership at a tourney).  If you
don't bring your card or receipt, you will have to purchase a one year
extension to your membership.

DOUBLES:  The deadline for doubles is the starting time of the event.  Enter
doubles on the day of the event.  The entry fee for doubles is $4 per player.

FORMAT:  All events are single elimination.  All matches are two out of three,
except Handicap which is one game to 51, and the final of the Open Singles
which is three out of five.

SCHEDULE:  If we are lucky, all events will finish around dinner time.  In any
case, all events will finish at roughly the same time regardless of the
individual starting times.  All events run at the same time.  When you play
has nothing to do with the starting time of the events.  Please check in by the
starting time of your first event.

EQUIPMENT:  Only USTTA approved equipment will be used:  6-10 Stiga Expert VM,
4 Butterfly Europa, and 4 Detroiter tables;  Donic, Stiga, and Double
Happiness nets.  There will be at lealst two practice tables.  Bring your own
white three-star Nittaku ball (or you may purchase one at the tourney).

HANDICAP EVENT:  This is not for physical handicaps; rather the weaker player
is spotted points.

UNRATED PLAYERS:  If you haven't played in a sanctioned tourney before, then
you are unrated.  If you have no idea what your rating should be, then we
suggest you enter the 1050, 1150, 1350, and 1450 events.  You will not advance
to the next round (even if you win) after playing a rated player in the 850
through 2200 Singles; you may enter these events for $4 each.  You cannot only
enter the Unrated Singles; you must also enter one of the other events. You
cannot enter Doubles or Handicap.

RULES:  All USTTA regulations apply.  One side of the racket must be bright
red, the other black.  You must throw the ball up six inches when you serve.

RATINGS:  All singles events except Handicap will be rated.  Unrated players
who play in the tourney will get a rating.  If you play in a rated singles
event, then you must pay the $3 rating fee.  It generally takes four weeks
after the tourney for national rating chairman Dan Simon to process the results
and produce the new ratings.  The easiest way for you to find out your new
rating is to look for it in Topics.  The tournament dircetors reserve the right
to assign or modify ratings to promote fair competition.

CLOTHING:  USTTA dress code applies.  Solid nonwhite colors are legal.  No
black-soled shoes.

65.40Waldner won the GoldMAIL::TAYLORMark Taylor, St. LouisFri Aug 07 1992 16:4916
Hi. I'm a Table Tennis enthusiast, and this is my first entry here...

Well, from very scant information I was able to determine that Waldner (Sweden)
defeated Gatien (France) for the Olympic Men's Gold medal. In three games!
In fact, it sounds like Waldner lost a grand total of 1 game through the 
whole competition.

Who is Gatien? NBC said he is the number one player in the world - is this 
true, what has he won?

Waldner is my favorite - I really like his style.

By the way, NBC said they would carry the final Thursday night, but I 
did not see it and am a bit irritated.

    The latest rankings I have (a bit out of date....March 1992) have
    Gatien ranked 3rd behind Persson and Waldner.  I don't have any real
    recent results, but Gatien did win the English Open back in January and
    lost in the quarters during the European Championships (to Jean-Michel
    Saive) in April.  I personally haven't seen Gatien play much.

> Waldner is my favorite - I really like his style.

    I agree....Waldner is a lot of fun to watch.  I saw him play at the
    1990 US Open in Baltimore.  The one match I missed was the one where
    he was down 14-19 in the fifth game (quarterfinals, I think) and he got
    the next seven point to take the match.  I did see the semis and finals,
    and he played very well.

> By the way, NBC said they would carry the final Thursday night, but I 
> did not see it and am a bit irritated.

    I set my VCR to tape both Wednesday and Thursday, and I think there
    was a grand total of about 5 minutes worth of play.  NBC's coverage
    was definitely poor for table tennis.  I too was quite irritated.....

    The burning question is how many gulps does one have to take if one's

    I watched a bit of the [mumble] Invitational Table Tennis Tournament
    whil channel surfing lasted night.  These guys have the reactions of a
    cat on speed.
    
    And while I'm in the neighborhood of this note,  did I ever ask if
    there was any difference between table tennis and ping-pong, other
    than the spelling?

    I keep wondering if I should get NESN just so I can watch things
    like this.......  Someone mentioned this at lunch today....the match
    was Jim Butler vs. Karlsson from Sweden, I believe.  Top players like
    this can hit the ball upwards of 100 mph....and with the table only
    9 feet long, that doesn't give much time for reactions.
    
>>    And while I'm in the neighborhood of this note,  did I ever ask if
>>    there was any difference between table tennis and ping-pong, other

    I think this was asked before (maybe in the previous sports conference).
    The answer is no, there is no real difference between table tennis and
    ping pong.  The term "ping pong" is actually of registered trademark of
    one of the game companies (Parker Brother's, I think.....the ones who
    make Nerf balls), so in theory they are the only ones that can legally
    use that name (eg, as the name of a product).  Table tennis is the
    official name of the sport.  The only "difference" is that people use
    "ping pong" to refer to what most people play in their basement once
    in a while.

    If you're in the area of any of the tournaments coming up, feel free to
    stop by and watch.  Spectators are always welcome.  You won't see the
    same level as on NESN, but there are a lot of very good players in the
    area.
