After years of watching table tennis, I noticed a trend among choppers: 99.999% of them were Asian, or at least the top choppers were Asian:
-Ma Te
-Joo Se Hyuk
-Chris Xu
-Hitomi Sato
-Masato Shiono
-Li Jie
-Chen Weixing
-Ding Song
-Angela Guan
-Han Ying
-Yuto Mutamatsu
-Jian Li
-Hu Limei
-Hou Yingchao
-Chen Xinhua
-Li Gun Sang
-Hiroshi Shibutani
-Koji Matsushita
-Many more internationally and at the Chinese provincial and local levels
Of course there are exceptions like Ruwen Filus but by far the majority of choppers are Asian. Can anyone shed light on this matter? Perhaps is it just a playing style native to Asia, or does it have to do with cultural differences and similarities?
