Sorry to break it to you but sports aren’t learned through math and equations, it’s a lot of feeling.
Your feelings or myths do not override reality.
Grabbing the ball to me feels like the sponge is holding the ball,
The sponge does not hold the ball. The ball will penetrate the rubber all the while slowing down until all the kinetic energy of the ball is absorbed. Then the rubber and blade will return some of the absorbed energy to the ball accelerating it in the opposite direction. The ball is only stopped relative to the paddle that instant when the paddle, ball, and blade have absorbed all kinetic energy.
but it may feel different for everyone.
Are you saying that reality is different for everyone?
I know the laws of physics are the same for everyone.
If you cannot understand TT without “hard facts,” then you won’t get very far.
I have gone farther than any of you can know, it just isn't in TT. I am a motion control expert among other things.
There are other physical factors involved in TT such as impulse, which relates to how much time the ball remains on the paddle.
Good, so you know about impulse being the integral of force over time.
What is the force of a ball impact at 10 m/s. There is no exact number for this because it depends on assumptions of how far the ball will sink into the rubber.
That’s is what I call time “holding the ball.” I hope that makes sense,
This is the time the ball is actually in contact with the paddle. It is on the order of a millisecond depending on the impact speed. Sometimes it is much less but I have seen examples were it is infinite for all practical purposes. You will earn respect when you get past you touchy feelly ideas.
My profession is motion control. I have learned over many years that what people think is happening is not what is really happening. That is why I have a high speed camera and can record motion at 4 KHZ easily.

I haven't called you and idiot....yet. Upside Down Carl has told me to play nice but he knows how I really feel.
I tried posting a thread on dwell time ( contact time ) a few years back but it got deleted.
If you are so confident that I’m wrong, you can post your own tutorial and show us the right way to loop
We are talking about looping backspin. I provided a link above. That is how it is done.
The key is for the tangential paddle speed to meet or exceed the tangential speed of the ball. If the speeds match the ball will not push off down into the net. If the tangential paddle speed exceeds the tangential speed of the ball then the upward stroke of the paddle will cause the ball to go high unless one closes the paddle in proportion to the excess tangential speed between the paddle and ball.
Simple.
I don't fear playing choppers at around my level. Most choppers can't keep the ball low as consistently as Henzel's opponent. Look at the video above. Henzel plenty of time to get into position between balls. The problem Henzel has is that the chopper is very good at returning balls. I don't face choppers of that ability. I haven't faced any since the CCP-virus.
