Best of The Best

Best forehand: Wang Liqin, China
The lanky Wang has the strongest muscle groups as a table tennis player, which is the result of years of hard training. He is the physically strongest in Asia and has agility rarely seen in European players. He hits the ball early and has a killer forehand drive with precision. Unlike traditional Chinese topspin players who are dangerous only while playing close to the table, Wang is as deadly close to the table as away from.

Best backhand: Kalinikos Kreanga, Greece

Before playing table tennis, Kreanga practiced gymnastics. No wonder why he can flex his arm in his backhand loop in a way that nobody else can. He is rather below average height. With his small size he can afford to make longer strokes, because he can get ready for the next shot easier. If you are average height, and attempt his shots, there is no way you could make them consistently with his kind of power.

Best serve: Liu Guoliang, China

No one has reached Liu Guoliang's height in terms of serving with pips-in and pips-out rubbers. He is able to add strong spin to his serves, especially his forehand backspin serve. With nearly the same flick of the wrist, Liu can serve with forehand rubber and backhand rubber, serve lefty topspin and backspin, righty topspin and backspin. He can easily set up for killer smashes with a slew of wicked serves.

Best receive: Liu Guoliang, China

Liu has different ways to receive serves. He can loop, smash, push, chop-block and flip serves. He can receive with either forehand or backhand, long or short, straight or diagonal. More important, he has a perfect touch. Also nominated: Jan-Ove Waldner(Sweden), Kong Linghui (China)

Best short ball: Ma Lin

While Liu Guoliang has the best receive, Ma Lin is the most consistent and dangerous in short returns. He has the best control and connection in short balls.

Best footwork: Ryu Seung Min, South Korea

South Koreans, mostly playing with pip-in rubber in the penhold grip, have the best footwork in the world. Ryu covers as much space as Kim Taek Soo but is even faster and has better judgment than his compatriot. He is more aggressive because he plays closer to the table than Kim.

Best tactics: Liu Guoliang, China; Ryu Seung Min, South Korea

Around 1995, Liu Guoliang was the most tactics-conscious in the world. In the 21st century, Ryu has caught up with the Chinese. In the 2004 Olympics, Ryu used the well-thought tactics to beat immensely experienced Swede Jan-Ove Waldner and Chinese upstart Wang Hao to win the singles gold medal. Liu is faster than Ryu but the South Korean is bolder in tactics execution.

Best choppers: Ding Song, China; Joo Se Hyuk, South Korea

South Korean Joo Se Hyuk and Chinese Ding Song are the best and most crowd-pleasing defensive players in the world. Ding brought a revolutionary style to the sport by mixing chops with loops and counter-drives. Ding has a good serve and has a sudden and strong forehand drive. Joo has modern active defensive play with a great backhand chop and an enormous forehand topspin.

Best block: Chiang Peng-Lung, Chinese Taipei

Chiang has the most consistent backhand block among the penholders. His jab-block is good enough to offset heavy-spin drives.

1-ply, and the other being a 7 ply

This info may help..... The following is partial correspondence between Borko and myself last weekend:

(My Question)

Borko,

What would you say the differences are between 2 hinoki blades using the same wood, but one being a 1-ply, and the other being a 7 ply of the same exact thickness? Which one would be faster? Please add any of your thoughts about this question. Thanks.

(Borko's Reply)

Hi Pongcrazy,

Speed of the blade is dependent on several factors:

• Density of the wood
• Thickness of the blade
• Moisture content

With one ply Hinoki blades on the top of all off this we have to take the number of lines per linear inch of its with. So as you can see asking what blade is faster is not an easy thing to do and give the answer. As both blades will be fast I would like to think that one ply will have the edge in terms of hitting flat balls , blocking and game where quick hitting exchanges are needed, while 7 pls will be better for spins and drops and short game at the table .As you move away of the table 4-6 feet 1 ply blade will tend to start fading away while the 7 ply even away of the table will still be in focus and power will be there. So it really depends an what are you going to use it for and what game do you play. One ply blade in time aside from having great feel will become lighter while 7 ply will not loose in its weight so much.One ply blade is used buy the hitter's who like to flat hit but 5,7,9 plys are used buy the spiner's but this is only a general separation.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Borko

Strategy againts long pimple player.

I get what the idea of avoiding such hardbat players; however, there will always be those who play this hard-hitting style, whether they are using a Hock w/ Dr. Evil or just some pip set up on the same blade you use. Like I mentioned earlier, there are still MANY penholders who play this game . . . short pip smashing. Heck, I'm starting to think that might be my cpen style option. Not everyone is going to use MAX rubbers, stand back 5 feet, and loop drive. There is an obvious conspiracy to limit the sport to Euro style loopers. I'll just say this and leave the debate for another thread!
Although there is some merit to the advice of avoiding hardbat and other unusual styles of play at your stage of learning, eventually you will play all different styles and lose. I have taken many, many games off better players simply because they have no idea what to do with my style of play (at least for a game or two), which until recently has been Seemiller. You can avoid me, or deal with me.
Advice: avoid me and hardbat and basically any unusual strokers until you have your basics down, then play everyone and figure out how to win. It will make your game more versatile and you will learn strategies that will help you take points from conventional as well as non-conventional players.
*Sometimes it's hard for me to find good practice/drill partners. Everyone says I throw off their timing and I don't hit deep enough for them to sit back and practice their looping. I can skim the net about half the time. :-). Well, RoboPong rarely complains!
**YES, fast backhand sidespin serves seem to be a problem for the sandpaper players.
