I think the word to be used is 'evolve' The game has evolved to an extent that it is not comparable to the original brand of table tennis that was played in the 80s and the 90s. Technology has changed in every aspect, techniques have evolved, and above all the players are coached differently also.
In my opinion the game favors more to the blocker/counter player rather than all all-out attacker. Especially with this plastic ball, it has become that much more harder for an attacker to dominate the table tennis game. In a way it is good, because now everyone gets a chance for upset when playing in a tournament or in a league. Previously the game suited more to the attacker, i am talking about the pre-40mm era.
Still a wonderful game to watch, observe and play though.
