Hey Sota

I like Chen Weixing because he often use his fh to stress his opponents. For the same reason I like Hou Yingchao. He has a very strong fh-loop. His sidspin-loops are unique.

I don't like pure devensive players like Chtchetinine.

Cheers, Martin

Hi Martin,

In a different scale I identify my style of game with GIONIS Panagiotis, even if I consider that he's a bit taller, of course is not is fault :)

Ding Song is my second best, he does what I try and enjoy to do, chop the ball close the right foot.

Chen Weixing is in fact fantastic, but a bit too much acrobatic to watch. That kind of small jumps while lopping... (sorry Chen!). Let's say he's like Cristiano Ronaldo, sometimes he does things really not necessary, but they are still the best!

Grettings,
Sota

Joo Se Hyuk:
Positive: He can chop in his forehand and attack. Defensive players usually atack or chop, but he makes the two options.
Negative: Sometimes his forehand low-speed is a problem.

Ding Song (Shor Pimples): He is similar to Hyuk, because he can change efects and in 1997 he was nº 10 in the world ranking. I'll try to upload this trainning video. At the end you can see some points... strong atack like Hou Yingchao (in 2006 they played in the same team). On the other part, now he try to chop very high and the chop goes out. His leves is decrecing.

Cheers

Yes, Ding Song is not what he used to be. But do you know what kind of RITC802 he played? And if these pips are also good for hitting? I also can't believe that Hou Yingchao plays a Spectol with 1.7mm. Yingchao, in my opinion is more of a desturber with great spinchanges then the defence players we are used to.

Ding Song plays with a Friendship 802 1.5 mm on the BH as I read...

Chen Weixing is the trickiest player. I'm happy that Chen is going to train me next month.

I love Joo Se Hyuk - very stylish player.

Dr. Herbert Neubauer: Great frictionless player, killer short-pip smash of loose balls....Paul Pinkewich: Legendary Aussie twiddling chopper, still going strong in his 50s....I also like Peter Chen: an amazing penhold blocker

My favorite chopper, by far, is Hou Yingchao. I don't think there is any defensive player who plays as intelligently and beautifully.

joo se hyuk is the best defensive player in my opinion, he is able to constantly stress his opponents with the heaviest chops possible. the fact that he beat ma lin is evidence that he is a defensive opponent to be reckoned with!!!

First of all, Hi! I've just sing in here and it looks really good, lots of good vid.
Second, Just for you to know, Chen Xin Hua was, is and will be the best defensive player, there is just no way anyone (but Liang GeLiang) can be near his amazing level.
If you dont know who am I talking about, look for them and learn what is good TT, not like now, where defensive players hide behind their long pip's rubber till they can smash with their FH.
Sorry if there is anyone feeling hurt, but this is my opinion, with only 19 years of life.
