Agree with above. Chinese play a bit like mass produced robots.
The way ML & FZD hit the ball is actually the most natural way for a human body to be fully utilized.
It's true that their whole training system where they often train them from such a young age where they're barely even able to hold a spoon and they hand them a racket to train is a bit treating people to behave like robots. In fact pretty much every aspect of life seems to be the case over there where people are being treated like units to just compete against each other which is very dehumanizing and "robotic" in a way.
But speaking purely in terms of the technique in the literal sense. If you were to start from the scratch, from the very beginning and start learning how to play ping pong (where they use the hard bats only), I guarantee you that adopting either FZD & ML technique would make you a whole lot better player playing the hard bat ping pong than Timo Bolls technique were it pretty much only works with springy rubbers.
And this brings an important point that ML & FZD technique is actually geared more towards less technology in general. If they were to play ping pong with hard bats, their technique would benefit them a whole lot better than say Timo Boll's technique.
And their technique is actually the most natural to the human body anatomy in terms of properly using the muscles and the limbs in accordance to hitting the ball efficiently.
So in conclusion, the way they train may be robotic but their technique actually is a result of utilizing all of the body parts in the most natural way possible, just look at the video with FZD & ML and all the shots are being hit as if almost they are not hitting the ball with the racket but with their body itself.
Whereas Timo Boll's technique almost seems like it heavily relies on the technology of the rubber and spending years of developing their TT skills based on that technology. Doesn't mean you can't be a good player using this strategy, but it's ACTUALLY not a natural way for a human body to hit the ball.
