Hello,
Something is happening in the table tennis world regarding the backhand topspin.
If you watch the video below for example, they are not performing even a single backhand topspin during the entire game. We can see all other strokes but it seems that the backhand topspin is missing from their inventory. It seems that it has been completely replaced with that drive or whatever we want to call it where the player it just redirecting the ball back to the opponent by wiping the ball with a short stroke. When I say that the backhand topspin is dying I mean the Kreanga`s style backhand topspin where you actually hit the ball with power but more than that with a full swing of your arm and body.

So what is happening and what/why caused this behavior and the transition to this drive or whatever we want to call it?
Maybe someone who is involved in the coaching process may give more details.
Best regards.
