Table Tennis Relatives

[Carline]

Zitat von Wohlfühlbacher

Hansi and Markus (Max) Fischer from Hesse
Long time ago. Both mainly active in Grenzau. Max was a youth international and Bundesliga player. Hansi Bundesliga and extended German top. Also known under the name Kniefall-Hansi.

Scott and Eric Boggan, US national players.
Eric was the better player and competed in the Bundesliga in Steinhagen. His USP was the unorthodox backhand, I remember him playing VH like RH with one side!
The origin of this style of play was probably Danny Seemiller, who made the so-called Seemiller Grip acceptable and covered RH and VH with one side of the racket.

Svenja and Jessica Weikert from Middle Franconia
Identical twins and technically outstanding players! Almost indistinguishable and successful at Bavarian and national level in the 90s. Both Bundesliga players at TSV Röthenbach.
Svenja a bit better and multiple Bavarian champion. Also with many medals at national level.

Stephan and Andreas Weikert from Upper Bavaria
Both very good second division players with successes at Bavarian and national youth level. Stephan is even a national youth player.

Maybe this thread should be renamed table tennis relatives
