Craig Carter is not only a very good Table Tennis player, he is also a world record holder in boomerang throwing! At the first PingSkills Classic held at the Coburg Table Tennis stadium in 2011, he showed off his skills at the expense of Alois.
Watch this video to see how Alois handles a 100km per hour boomerang coming straight at him!
Recently Alois had trouble pronouncing the name of one of our PingSkillers from an Ask the Coach question. Omonoiadam asked what is the ideal distance to stand when returning a smash?
The end result is hilarious. See if you can watch this video without laughing.
One of our members Dan Cole not only enjoys Table Tennis but he also loves playing the guitar. He’s combined these 2 passions and written some great lyrics to create the songs Ping Pong Talking Blues 1 and 2. Listen to the videos below and let me know what you think.
Thanks for being a part of PingSkills in 2011. It’s been an exciting year where we’ve answered 1754 questions, filmed video reponses for 44 of them, created a new DVD on receiving serve and completed the PingSkills Training Plan and Master Classes.
We thank you for your support and hope that we can help you to improve your Table Tennis in 2012. From Alois and myself have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

The number one seed Simon Gerada progressed comfortably to the final. Miao Miao had a slightly harder path with a tough semi final match against Brian Berry. However her experience and skill got her through that match 4-2. The final promises to be a very exciting match. Simon Gerada has plenty of power on both wings and Miao Miao loves to stay close to the table and hit flat and fast with her pimpled rubber. Watch the first set now.
Once your Table Tennis rubber loses it’s grip, it’s time to replace it. We’ve added a new video lesson to our website to show you how we do this. For those of you who don’t know, Table Tennis rubber comes packaged as a square. This is because there is no fixed size for a Table Tennis blade and hence you can cut the rubber to the exact size to fit your blade.
So if you haven’t done this before check out our video on replacing your Table Tennis rubber.
