Daniel H chopper is the most amazing to watch

@@Max-yp1iw For me the traditional penholder is the most amazing to watch, Ryu has some amazing footwork

//

Ma lin better

there are about 10 chinese players with a better forehand tf are you talking about😂😂

No, that would be Wang Liqin. Even better than Ma Long's forehand.

Rrrfr ett r

I agree with you

Ma lin is more Legendary than them

@@dlatriche I know but I mean in terms of technical proficiency.

South Korean penholder with best forehand technique and footwork was Kim Taek Soo. Just phenomenal@@aalokatmaa1606

C Cmyhometours - you're looking for good looking men? In table tennis? Lol.

ssshhhhh.....

Do you even know how to play table tennis ??

Not at all. The difference is the change to plastic balls in 2014. Way less spin development which rendered tactical & intelligent gameplay less effective. Nowadays you have much more pros who only smash smash smash. Regarding technicall and tactical skill earlier players in general were often better.

@@listrahtes A little bit different opinion from that. Besides what you described about the ball, the present outstanding players usually, in my observation, have the ability to attack stably & strongly in both forehand and backhand sides alternatively for more than 5 to 6 times without even any miss and that is supposed to be the major difference in between ....

@@djohnsonli3496 On the one hand, plastic ball with less spin is much easier to be attacked. That's why techniques like strawberry flick can be widely applied while backspin controls gradually disappear. The "5 or 6 times more stability" you mentioned would either go to the net or out of the table under celluloid ball. On the other hand, when large movements cannot put enough quality, players choose to use small, fast-pace and steady movements instead. In the past, heating the ball with 100% power and finish the rally is the optimal choice, now using 60% power and extend the rally is. Of course they seems more stable. Using an analogy as conclusion. If there is a heavy box, very few people in the past can lift it while a lot of people can lift it today, you can only get the conclusion that today's people are much better than those in the past by keeping the weight of the box unchanged. However, under the case of TT, the box is much lighter than before, thus it's unfair to say so.

@@HSHAZAM Theoretically, what you explained above is all seemingly correct. Still, there might be some subtle discrepancies. Though there are some undeniable differences in between the characteristics of celluloid balls and plastic balls, they should not be that much. And we can still see the present outstanding players hit the ball strongly and fast enough with more back and forth rallies. It doesn't look like a little bit to me what you described above that only 60% of the power is used compared with the past. Frankly speaking, I still think that the main technical difference presented between the players of the two generations results mostly and naturally from the progress of the time and the accumulation of the players’ and ,of course, the coaches’ playing and learning experiences and technique. ..
