Here we go again, one of these topics that keeps appearing over and over again. To be honest, I don't even think about this subject but the other day it just came to me and it was a moment of Ahaaaaa !! that happened while I was watching a match. Here is my argument and bare with me to the end:
What does chinese have other countries don't ?
The last two points are coupled and might be seen as one point: there will always be few very talented and physically fit chinese players. This is not the case for other countries. Take Germany, since young Timo Boll and Ovtcharov, we don't see anyone really with their talent and touch. OK nothing really new here, every one knows that. Here is my final idea:
In the video I was watching I saw that Ma Long has always attacked first before the other player(not from china), I checked other videos and I could see a pattern. So basically the Hurricane 3 rubbers allow chinese players to play short ball in serve return but to attck with it, you will need to be very fit. This matches exactly the points mentionned above. On the other hand, using Jap/Eu rubbers will allow you to play at high level still despite age but it won't necessarily help you receive short as the chinese do. You might downplay this but if you could attack first everytime, you probably gonna win , it is not like football where you can defend and still win. You can also see that defenders in table tennis don't win much.
If you want that to end it is either DHS hurricane 3 national becomes available to anyone or a new Jap/Eu rubber that allows short serve returns with the same (or better) attacking attributes it has now is invented
What does chinese have other countries don't ?
- Hurricane 3 blue sponge national thing.
- Beside the talent of course, great physical performance. Other players don't necessarily lack that but this lead us to the third point.
- A dense table tennis population, so basically players have age limit as younger players will always catch on them.
