In dec 1994, ty spotted a new bat on the shelves of a bookshop. it looked vastly different from the one he already had. out of curiosity he bought the bat and took it down on the next training. the first few impression the bat has gave him was not good. it has low grip, it doens't suit offensive style of play. but it does give great control and low speed. he didn't know that was actually a new rubber out in the market known as anti spin. but the bat is most effective against spinners. he realise with a slight tweak in playing style. he can overcome most of the difficulty he face in the game against heavy spinners. ty examines himself, he's small, nimble and fast. he has a reflex. all he need now is to control the game, and react fast enough to place himself in a position to control the game. within weeks, ty is up again with a new playing style. an all out defensive player who emphasize on correct positioning. his training trained from smashing balls repeatedly to being smashed and blocking them. the coach realise he uses anti spin. this is the point of time that the coach decide that ty was ready for more. tactic awareness of table tennis. subsequently, ty did very little of basic training but more of tactical awareness, the rubbers/wood and the technical side of the game. training wise, he get to dictates what he wants for himself and the coach will do his best to suit him. it was of no surprise that after half a year of alternative training, when it comes for another round of school team selection. tianyu became the first pick for the junior division. and he looks ahead as he was handed the jersey... his first competitive tournament.
