Jeff, that is a TOUGH question, questions like this have haunted scholars and table tennis players since the beginning of time. Questions like:

What's the meaning of life?

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

If a man where to speak in the woods, and his wife was not there to hear him, is he still WRONG???

But back to your question, I would have to give the nod to Forest. He was so relentless in his training, I think he would pull it out. Plus in looking at Bruce Lee's movies, I do not remember him having a set of red and black Nunchaku's so the ITTF would probably disqualify him any way. LOL!!!
