I've been reading up a bit recently on the so-called "new style" of table tennis that has developed since the introduction of the plastic balls. From what I can gather, the new style of play is characterised by staying a bit closer to the table, taking the ball a little earlier, and focusing a bit more on speed and power rather than spin (think power-drive rather than spinny loops). From what I can see Harimoto is a prime example of this sort of play.
So this go me thinking, Tenergy 25 has always been seen as the odd one out in the Tenergy series and hardly and top level players use it. But could the 25 actually be better suited to this new style of play than the other rubber in the series? Might we see more players experimenting with this rubber?
I don't believe Harimoto uses the Tenergy 25, but from watching a few of his matches I can't help but wonder if 25 would actually suit his game better than what he currently uses.
Interested to hear your thoughts on T25 for the plastic ball era.
