@Humpty Dumpty the attacks were more unexpected due to his chopping and the chopping game is far from dead look hou yingchao or gionis panagiotis for examples

@Humpty Dumpty my point is there still are choppers who can compete at the highest level. How much percentage of players are trained as choppers? If it was 50/50 your point could be valid but there's like 5% defenders only and the rest is attacking players of course the probability that an attacker wins a title is so much greater because of that

Just because Ma Long can beat choppers doesn't mean everyone can. Actually new generation become wet noodles encountering underspin. But you are right regarding choppers not attacking. They need to mix it up the def with the atk. I got a few tournaments under my belt because of it.

@Humpty Dumpty yes I have seen and played against other choppers since I'm a chopper myself. I eat choppers away because I'm quite aggressive too with my long pips, chop, block, slap. You wouldn't even think I have LP if I don't back off the table every now and then. I have seen the CNT in person and their training as well the HKNT which I practiced with some of them. Those are some of the perks of been a son in law of a famous player lol. But yes, streamlined it would be more boring than watch 2 choppers playing against each other. PS: I don't care if you saw it. It was more out of courtesy to keep it more professional.

I agree with you though. There's no training for choppers nowadays. Because everything is shifted to regular inverted rubbers which is quite boring not seeing variety.

There's very few comparable to Vlad on dealing with chopper. Boll is tough for defenders but Vlad is almost impossible.

needs a defender to bring it out

top 5

Both got taped. Pretty normal in today's sports heavy on the knees.

Yes

The rules of this tournament is different,if you draw(2-2) and the game is timed also; then the last game also know as “kill zone” at 5.

Samsonov won

Hansku M it's the T2APAC

Once 25 min ends there is something called the “kill zone” that will activate

As a defender who changed to offensive because of the plastic ball, I can tell you from my point of view that is has something to do with character and what kind of movement suits you more. Some people are more risk taking and have a kill instinkt. They would be great Boxers, too. Some people are way less aggressive, but much more persistent. That is a big reason why I decided to play defensive. The other part is movement. For offensive playstyle one has to be very nimble. I am very fast, bur not nimble. Its much more easy for me to run forward and backwards than to execute those fast sidesteps. If you play far from the table, even though the ball is faster, you have more time and can use a lot more strength and force, while in offense its much more fucus in fine motor skills

Really bad matchup for jsh. A ton of change of pace, control and heavy spins. Quite different when super aggressive topspin in dominating the sport. Rare match to behold today^^

No, I mean where did he go. He hasn't been participating in any tournaments, isn't on the rankings, and nothing has been said of him for months. As far as I can find, there isnt anything saying hes retired

Well, he is now working as a coach in one Korea tt team. So I think he retired.

He comes back !!! :)

He's come back, but heard he's trying Hurricane 3 on forehand. So he's flipped rubber colors, black forehand red pips. Nice to see him back but he's playing very poorly. Maybe he was injured or retired them decided to come back. I don't know.

センターラインがないのか

lolololol fukk.. u are more boring person wtf
