I think you're aware of the storm that comments like this cause. But if you really think everyone should play only with inverted rubbers and only use an attacking style with no 'tricks' - then you should go and play hardbat or tennis/squash or something. Table tennis is about variety, adaptability, creativeity - and using different equipment and different tactical approaches makes it the great game it is

D_Nizzle, I think you misunderstood kuka here. He wants to see videos of people that are good because they have a lot of tricks up their sleeve, not because they're robotic attackers like Ma Long and FZD. He probably wants to see double inverted to avoid seeing people that rely on pips to generate tricky shots. Just wanna stop the shitestorm before it happens

correct.
most players you meet are robot type.
there are players who if they can will play a more freestyle game.
I think adam bobrow sort of tries to do this but he just lobs too much and gives in the table.
I want to let out pips players because they are tricky or deceptive because of the rubber, not because of themselves.

Ok - fair enough. Apologies if so! I think it didn't help that an intended smiley in the original post didn't work out. Still, though, I don't like the idea of posting videos of players seemingly winning because of 'cheap points' with the assumption that they would be beaten if they played with inverted. It doesn't sit well with me ...

I think in those levels players are too slick and it's hard to fool them.
But in lower levels it's possible.
I had this happen to me sometimes but most players don't play this type of game.

There's one really good top player who plays like this. Janne-Olle Wagner or something was his name.

Spin and more spin.

I'd say there was another one, I think from Australia, something William Schlegel

Kenta Matsudaira my all time favourite! Lovely to see his well placed blocks, devastating backhand, chop-blocks and serves.

I don't think it should be removed. It covers only partially the pro vs 21xx thread.

shots that qualify as oficio are:
-all kinds of deceptive serves
-varying degrees of spin in the pushes which confuse opponent
-no spin loop sometimes and super spin loop other times
-chop block
-those lobs that go to one side and confuse opponent thinking they go to the other side
-looking to one side and hitting to the other side
-after several smashes just leaving the ball short like waldner style
-all kinds of deceptive serves
-varying degrees of spin in the pushes which confuse opponent
-no spin loop sometimes and super spin loop other times
-chop block
