Strategy And Purpose
I'm a little prejudice towards Allen J. Chinn since I've known him for 20 years or so and know what a great martial artist and friend he is. He is truely a Kung Fu Master in the best sense of the term and I've been fortunate to have chronicled some of his achievements in national and international martial arts publications.
Saying that, let me also add that he's a pretty good table tennis player as well. I say, 'pretty good' because he'll just tell you he's 'okay' until you face off on his on the table and he reveals a 'little' of his talent. I say a 'little' because he's not out to embarass or shame you so he plays to your ability, all the while offering up better fixes to your game as he plays. Against better opponets he amps up his game and excels...again.
For the ping pong fan this book offers up his strategies on how to become a better table tennis player using Kung Fu comparisons; from stances and positioning, angles of attack, to the mind set that has helped propell him into the winner's circle.
It's a fun, little book and while the title or concept may initially stun you, it is surprisingly informational and makes good sense during the reading.

Those who do not like metaphors please do not read
I loved this book.I am not a good table tennis player.However, I am a middling martial artist.I would compare this book to Sun Tzu's Art of War in this way.Table Tennis is used as an allegory to describe how to approach conflict/life.I hesitate to use the word fight.That would be too limiting.The belief that you have to use the tools that best fit your approach or world view is not a cookie cutter that says that power is best or soft is best.It says that use the tools that fit you best and maximize them. ...

Product Description
In Tennis, a chop stroke is a shot where the angle towards the player and behind the racquet, made by the line of flight of the ball, and the racquet travelling down across it, is greater than 0 degrees. The racquet face passes slightly outside the ball and down the side, chopping it, as a man chops wood. The spin and curve is from right to left. It is made with a stiff wrist.

The slice shot merely reduced the angle mentioned fromfeet long from baseline to net. There are only two places in a tennis court that a tennis player should be to await the ball....

Thanks to this book, I've managed to stay in the top league at my school. Tony C

The Lord of the Pings (and Pongs)
A fairly well written book considering how dry the subject matter is.Some of the jokes they use to lighten the load is very very funny stuff.

This book is a sure guide to success
Very interesting.I picked up the book and thought, "Hey, why not try to learn table-tennis." Now, at least I know my serves and I feel that I am progressing well for a beginner. ... Read more

Product Description
This study covers the latent demand outlook for badminton, paint ball, racquetball, squash, and table tennis equipment and traditional and clamp-on roller skates and related equipment across the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it’s prefecture and of Japan is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-à-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates are created for badminton, paint ball, racquetball, squash, and table tennis equipment and traditional and clamp-on roller skates and related equipment. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. ... Read more
