Okay, now that you have designed your best player:

What Modern day set up would he use, limit your choices to one 4H rubber one BH rubber and one blade.

This should be interesting !

well for the setup I let Suga D decide, he is the equipment expert of my player.

Stroke power(spin & speed): NL
Flexibility: Carl
Tactical brain: der echte
Stroke consistency: ttmonster
Paddle: Suga D's equipment
Sportsmanship: Carl wins this one too
Confidence: Archosaurus

I think my player is perfectly well rounded. I didn't add someones footwork with another players strokes so my player will probably beat all yours. =]

DTop as coach. :)
Ross Leidy as Blade Smith :)
 
So, to create my own "best" player:

Things that I want:

Service: Ma Long/Zhang Jike ( Jike because he has the best reverse pendulum serve, Ma Long is overall just a tiny bit better)
FH: Ma Long/Xu Xin (Both on par I think)
BH: Zhang Jike (easily the player with the best backhand, maybe best ever in my opinion)
RPB: Wang Hao ( No explanation required, I think)
Touch & Variety: Vladimir Samsonov/ Xu Xin (They both possess such great touch, it is difficult to choose one of them)
Mental aspect: The steel nerves of Zhang Jike combined with the fierceness of Fan Zhendong
Movement: Zhang Jike in the past, but now Fan Zhendong
Lobbing & away from the table: Xu Xin (no one does it better)

Equipment: Ma Long's DHS W968 +Ma Long's Hurricane III national version blue sponge and a Tenergy 05

Special custom blade. Five layers of wood from middle earth (Fangorn Forest). Two thin layers of vibranium from Wakanda. Two rubber sheets from Disney's Flubber. Pending ITTF approval, of course.

@ countrybread: dude, you can't use Entwood!!!! That's murder!!!!! [emoji2] Don't you remember what Treebeard (Fangorn) said when the orcs from Isengard killed the trees? "Those trees were my friends!"

And as Saruman soon found out, you don't want to get Treebeard mad at you!!

You're right. What was I thinking? I'll get the five layers from gopher wood, from Noah's Ark. Mt. Ararat, here I come. This will definitely be an unexpected journey.
