Hello everyone,
I've re-watch the videos by EmRatThich on the new trend of TT and i'm wondering how you implement it yourself ? Or if you don't ?
In short he explains what should change with the new ball that bounces higher, and shorter with less spin and speed

Some questions i see
- Do you think it is advisable for intermediate player ?
- Should we aim for more early timing or is it overall too difficult ?
- How can it works with Chinese rubber and technique ? As it needs long and full stroke, it's seems difficult to combine both
- Concretely what do YOU want to change with that in your game ?
For myself i think i will try to play closer to the table (i take a step back too soon and often) and play more early backhand (i feel it's easier to do an early BH than a early FH, especially with chinese FH rubber. Not sure). And overall i will try to be really more agressive. Not so much with playing crazy hard (i already have some power also) but just trying to keep my ground close from the table. Not sure I will like it as i naturally like mid distance
So your ideas ? Should we take it into account for how game ? What do you change with this new ball ?

The new trend is :
- Hit sooner, faster, quicker
- Stay closer to the table
- Agressive attack all of the serve (because the ball is less spin dependant and bounces higher)
- Focus on speed, borrow the opponent speed, hit on the bounce, on the table, and counter attack every ball

The trend is shifted more from 'steady and powerful attack' at mid distance (domination the scene during 3020-2016) to 'quick attack and counter hit close to the table' (from 2016-now)
