Summary: <h4>Discussion - 1:10</h4> <p>2014 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals. The Draw is out.</p> <h4>Response to Yesterday's  #PQOTD  - 4:30</h4> <p>In what year will a Non Chinese player win a World Mens singles championship? - 2031 :)</p> <h4>#PQOTD  - 7:09</h4> <p>Why are left handers over represented on the World Rankings list? Xu Xin and Ding Ning are both number 1.</p> <h4>Question 1 - 7:32</h4> <p>Can you explain to me the Ma Lin awesome flick? Nick V</p> <h4>Question 2 - 9:17</h4> <p>I am a defender, my opponent attacks on my forehand and I would play a very fast deep chop but my opponent just plays it short and I need to run for it. So is it right to play a fast, deep chop or should I play a normal chop allowing him to attack? Rutvik</p> <h4>Question 3 - 13:52</h4> <p>I struggle with my backhand topspin against loose/dead balls which are just dropping of the edge of the table. I also sometimes find myself doing the stroke either in slow motion or too much vertical, why? Mudit</p> <h4>Question 4 - 16:48</h4> <p>I played against a top player in my school. I lost points when he does a very fast topspin serve to my Backhand side. Sometimes I can return with an attacking topspin stroke. But then he increased the speed and sometimes put a little sidespin.
