Illegal style of play
The pong pong player photo on this wikipedia page show a very specific illegal style of Table Tennis. Notice the hand hold of the paddle of this player. This photo show the man has no rudimentary training or knowledge of Table Tennis. Illegal Table Tennis playing style is a common phenomenon worldwide. It is due to the wide popularity of the sport and the extreme lack of professionals / trainers in this field.
There are many ways to play pingpong illegally.
Please, someone post a better photo!!! IT is a shame to have this guys photo posted here!!!
The grammar is poor, the first paragraph is pretty pointless without more detail, and the "please post another photo" request belongs on this Talk page (although I do agree that a better photo would be an improvement). - Plutor 17:49, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Hazlitt Gill?
Who is Hazlitt Gill? Google's never heard of him and "Hazlitt Gill aided the game's popularity in the early 21st century" doesn't sound right. I'm not sure if I should delete though; I'm inexperienced. Swiftly 15:31, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Illegal style
I have moved the following comment by 128.114.50.84 here from the article because it is criticism of the article and does not provide any information to the reader who wants to learn about TT . A section on what is good legal style in TT would be helpful. Lumos3 22:07, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
