Soumyajit Ghosh, Ankita Das qualify for Olympic Games, London 2012

Soumyajit Ghosh and Ankita Das turned the tables on their more experienced Indian team mates and qualified for the London Olympics 2012. There were some unexpected results as Soumyajit beat Amalraj, Amalraj beat Sharath Kamal, and Ankita Das beat K Shamini. All hope is not lost for Sharath as he still has a chance to qualify from the Doha table tennis qualifying tournament now that most of the top Asian players have already qualified.

Timo Boll Spirit Review

Timo Boll Spirit is a great all round blade that is suitable for all range of players from medium level club players to professionals. It maintains a good balance of the right amount of feel to power ratio. There is not much difference between the classic Timo Boll ALC (that Timo Boll himself uses) and the Timo Boll Spirit.
Construction is 5 Wood + 2 layers of Arylate carbon.

The Timo Boll Spirit blade is available at a great price compared to the ALC and other top end Butterfly blades. We recommend Donic Coppa X1 on the backhand and Tibhar Genius + Optimum with this blade for amazing performance and looping joys.

Official description:
"A great Carbon blade for the European style of looping play. Good balance of speed and control. Used by young German sensation, Timo Boll."

Subhajit, Divya shine at Asian Cup, Guangzhou

Upsets galore! Subhajit Saha beat World No. 18 Jiang Tianyi in the group stage of the Asian Table Tennis Cup. The amazing thing is that Tianyi went on to win the Bronze medal in an almost world class tournament that had many top players except the Chinese cream.

Wang Liqin continued his inevitable slide by losing to Iran's Noshad Alamiyan.

Divya Deshpande of India topped Group D Women's section of the Asian Cup. She beat world no. 134 Beh Lee Wei twice (in group and second stage) to finish a creditable 13th.

The GAC TOYOTA (Camry) 25th Table Tennis Asian Cup 2012 was held at Guangzhou from 6th -8th Apr. 2012.
