The popular OOAK Table Tennis Forum has been upgraded, with a brand new look and a brand new domain.
The forum graphics has had a complete face-lift, to (1) to give the forum a clear identity of its own as opposed to using a stock theme and (2) to increase usability and legibility of the forum. Posts are now much easier to read and the relevant icons/links easier to see.

In January 2009 it nearly happened at the Slovenian Open and later in the same year in June, it nearly happened at the Japan Open.
In January 2010, it did happen and according to my failing memory, it is the first time it has ever happened, since the ITTF Pro Tour started in the English market town of Kettering in 1996.
Earlier in the year in June, Brazil’s Lincon Yasuda was present in the Central American country of Guatemala for the Latin American Junior Championships and for the Guatemala Junior Open, the 14th stop on the 2009 ITTF Junior Circuit.
He was very successful, the Brazilians excelled and returned home with a host of medals.
Leaving a legacy; it would seem to be a key clause when considering the name of the city that will host the Olympic Games.
Monday evening at around 11:20pm the Volkswagen 2009 Women’s World Cup in Guangzhou concluded. In an epic final China’s Liu Shiwen was crowned as the World Cup Champion at the first time of asking. Moreover, not only did we see a sensational match, those on site were also witness to one of the best ever presented Women’s World Cup. It truly was a fantastic match and one the crowd hugely enjoyed with Liu Shiwen winning in seven games.
The OOAK review site has just added a comprehensive robot guide called: Table tennis robots - The Ultimate Guide. It covers the robot basics, but also discussed the important features in detail, and it includes pictures, videos, and some very comprehensive reviews. So if you some need help choosing a table tennis robot, this may be well worth checking out.
