Oooweeee. Nice vid, Dan. These guys and gal(s) are pretty good.
I think that there is such a big acceptance and such a buzz about this form of our beloved tabletennis, is because this type of the game is not that much based on spin like tabletennis with inverted rubbers, and hence much easier to understand for the average Joe who doesn't really know what spin is and what spin can do.
But please don't get me wrong. No belittleling right here.
These players are really good, and honestly i'm not sure if i could beat one of them, even if i was allowed to use inverted rubbers, since i hardly play against players using these kinda rackets...
anyone have any links to stream it?
I am thinking a lot of these players are guys who played smooth with sponge, learned technique with sponge and then learned to adapt the technique to hardbat. Is that accurate?
How many of these guys are hardbat purists who never play with sponge and never have (or basically never)?
One thing I have to say that I think sad about this:
LOOK WHAT GREAT PRIZE MONEY these guys will earn and how many ITTF World Tour tournaments have a a much lower payout and less sponsorship. How come table tennis has so much trouble getting in the limelight and "Ping Pong" seems not to.
Well, I know, Suga_D really already explained this.
