Alois has good serves. He can trouble Jeff with the serve. Also, I saw Alois in the "Bonus Footage" of the DVD "Receiving Secrets Revealed", U had AWESOME returns!

Well Jeff is a table tennis OLYMPIAN, so of course there's no way that Alois is gonna agree to play and put up a match.

I think alois only has the serves as he demonstrates all the service videos while jeff has a more all round game so he had been given the task of demonstrating the strokes in the lessons. After the service and the return i guess Jeff will have an upper hand. He shud win plus he has age factor on his side. His only disadvantage is that he is a little overweight ;). wat say frnds??
Shaji Alavi

Shaji Alavi commented...

on the 15-Feb-2012 07:23:30 PM
Alois has loads and loads of experience, so he would definitely have more control over the ball coz of ball sense he would have developed over the years. Also he would have more strategies than Jeff.
Jeff on the other hand has power with speed and is more quick with the electrifying footwork. Players who can get more quickly to the ball and not miss it are a hard nut to crack.

P.S. I voted for Jeff. :D

You guyes put thise vote into critical moment... either Alois or Jeff, the result will have great impact on PingSkills.

Let's discuss. If Alois has been coaching for long time (quiting tourment), he is just like a boxing shack. If they both always play against each other, they already know clearly what their opponent is capable of so the smart one with good tactics should win. If we look at Jeff, he has got big body disadvantages him for speed...

 Well, headache!!! Anyone wanna add more, go ahead...

Ashley,

You are completely wrong, its not like all coaches can win all matches, Its totally depends on practice and nature of games which suits your type. Any one can win against coach but its not necessary that winner is really good player than coach. Dont take this personally its truth, what do you guys think?

Thanks,

Rajesh Suhas Sawant

Pallav Gurha commented...

on the 17-Apr-2012 08:31:13 PM

Yes, This will really be a great match. Since Alois and Jeff both know each others weakness, it will definitely be a great match.


And the best part is, At the end of the match you guys can add your thinking before each shot, so that will definitely other members to rethink before they play a person who knows all their weaknesses.

And obviously, its just a match, someone has to loose which cannot be averted. So, play it and please upload it, so that everyone else can take a lesson from it.

Well, I think Alois has good chances with his service-receive play and he can dominate his enemies with that. And Jeff should try to counter the spin at the serve and make an agressive stroke with much spin at the middle of Alois' body. But I think the coach would win.Sorry Jeff! :-)

I've got some interesting news. A while back Alois and I were at Ballarat and we played a one set match up to 11 in front of quite a crowd. Luckily we've got the footage recorded on video! I'm going to upload it to YouTube tonight! Once it's up I'll post it on here as a video answer.

I think Alois and Jeff are both very skilled, but everyone has their bad days. I think it would be very close.Why not play the best of five on three seperate occasions that way you both have 1in 3 chance of a good day. It also depends on the umpire you get, look at what happened to Ding Ning.???

Absolutely brilliant defence and sporting style. It doesn't matter who wins the match, entertainment is the keynote. On another note, did you happen to notice that more players are adopting the shake-hand grip in international play as evidenced in the Olympics?

Irregardless, this was very fun and inspirational. I want to play, too. :)

Very Entertaining !     Good Idea !  

The 'spit-ball' serve caught me off-guard !    
As much fun as the when  old Sol Schiff  did  finger-spin serves  in Bronkx, N.Y. way back. 

Table Tennis is supposed to be more fun than just bashing the ball !

Who cares who win really Jeff and Alois are two fantastic gentlemen. To me it does not matter who wins because i know they are both down to earth people, who are very likeable. Could not find a better pair of human beings. They should just play a match for fun though. Maybie even a team event Jeff with one amatuer pingskiller vs Alois also with a amatuer pingskilller.

Each play two singles pro vs pro, amatuer vs amatuer, pro vs amatuer and doubles. It is a crazy idea but i think it would work. It would be great to see Alois and Jeff have a serious practice match.


Justin O'Toole

Justin O'Toole commented...

on the 02-Apr-2013 10:14:58 PM

Don't know who would win Jeff or Alois, id reckon there would only be 2-4 points in the match at the end and it would go all the way. My idea of a team event one pingskiller with Alois and one with Jeff to me sounds good maybie even crazy. It is only an idea though other people might have an ideas as well. This is if Jeff and Alois do have a match.
