Sharath Kamal beats Waldner again!

A Sharath Kamal beat Table Tennis legend Jan Ove Waldner again on this weekend at the German (Bundesliga) Table Tennis league.

Facing Waldner in the 3rd and crucial singles tie, Sharath prevailed 11-5, 11-5, 7-11, 12-10

Waldner was about to make a terrific comeback but Sharath was determined to close out the match in the fourth game. Thus Sharath's team S V Werder Bremen beat Fulda Maberzell 3-2 and kept its hopes alive of advancing to the play off round. Werder Bremen coach Cristian Tamas was full of praise for Sharath for containing the sleeping giant, Waldner, who is no longer active on the International circuit.

Nittaku Resoud blade

Nittaku Resoud is a blade that retails for Rs. 1.2 Lac to Rs. 3 Lac for each piece. It is made of a very special timber from the Resoud forest. The same wood is used to create the best piano and violins in the world. The person who started working on it initiated it and it was crafted over a decade and a half with the co-operation of top Japanese Table Tennis players.
Sorry, we don't stock it :-). Quite a few people mainly in Japan buy it. It is the most expensive Ping Pong blade in the world.

The blade comes in a regal case. 2 Nitakku 3 star balls free ;-)

Forrest Gump Table Tennis

A still from the famous movie Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks) playing ping pong.

From Wikipedia:
Forrest Gump is a 1994 American epic comedy-drama romance film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright and Gary Sinise. The story depicts several decades in the life of Forrest Gump, a naive and slow-witted native of Alabama who witnesses, and in some cases influences, some of the defining events of the latter half of the 20th century.
