I don't think there is an inability to understand I think there is a clear disagreement. What post led you to believe that there is an inability to understand? Could you quote it?

Look at the complete swing motion on the serve. On the second one Ma Long comes more under the ball.

I never said that. You may have interpreted me as saying that but I never said that. I am the same person who felt that Ma Long was the greatest ever before he ever even won a WTTC, as crazy as that sounds (Carl say on the path, but I think results matter and bronze is a result, and I...

I think he asked whether ML had a injury lol.

We have hear Ma Long say that the public is the one that thinks his mental game is weak not him, and he has also said he is mentally weak- which is it? Complaints just tend to go along with wins and losses. ML complained after loss in Asian TT champs 2017 but silence after WTTC 2017. Par for...

Hahahaha. Every thing must be learned and yes, I have heard that National Games are a big deal in China. I know Ma Long won the last one with celluloid ball, beating Wang Hao in semis and Fan in the final. I think both matches were close. Not his usual 4-0 over Wang Hao in useless matches...

Good to know. We need to move to China.

Hahahaha...

I know the ball didn't make Ma Long a great player - causality is not that simple. But I also do not think it is purely a coincidence that his backhand improved and his titles came after the introduction of the plastic ball. It isn't overwhelming as a factor, but I think it is clearly a...

It wasn't just mental toughness. Even when commentating those matches, experts in China would point to Ma Long's countering technique as being unable to consistently put pressure on Wang Hao. Yes of course, Ma Long won matches where Wang Hao wasn't willing to give max effort as Wang Hao was a...

Are they majors?

Actually, the fact that all the blades are in the same speed range is highly symptomatic of EJing. Someone who is seriously testing equipment is trying Carbon vs all wood or All+/Off- vs Off vs Off+ or focusing on handle design to see what suits his grip (usually a custom handle is best)...

Yes it was easier to impart spin which made the technique for adjusting to serves and opening attacks more challenging. Hence many players who struggled to counter opening flips or attacks with the older ball started going it more easily after the ball change. Courtesy of the plastic ball...

The spin is not identical. But if you even pretend it is, the stroke size from LJK is not the same. But the spin is not identical.

Swing with the hips, not the arm. Stop trying to hit the ball hard. Get the hip timing down even if you put the ball into the net. When the hip timing is fixed, the rest will follow easily. Swinging hard is overrated.

The timing for it is clear. Most of these changes occurred in late 2014/early 2015. I also switched to tacky rubber on the backhand indepe gently of Ma Long when using plastic so I remember. And back then, players like Par Gerrell were saying that their backhands became better with the...

Which occurred after the plastic ball was instated.

ZJK had a good backhand when it was hard to have a good backhand. Ma Long got a good backhand when the plastic ball made it easier to have a good backhand.

What is the sound of one hand clapping? Voting depends on who the voters are. We aren't trying to solve world hunger, we are having a fun debate. Of course you can vote, but that vote shows you the problem when Bo Jackson can win over Michael Jordan that voting depends on who votes.

I am sure you understand context as well. Stiffer blades are not inherently better for pips, which is my point. It all depends on what you are trying to do and your technique. I can tell you that the OP is a serial EJ who looks for any excuse to find new equipment better than what he...
