I thought it would be interesting to hear about what play styles people has. I like to have a very strong forehand like Dimitrij Ovtcharov and serve like Jun Mizutani.

I serve like Mizutani too. I also did 144 balls of Matsudaira earlier today. Still not perfect but getting there. And my reverse pendulum serve is 90%.

I don't know. From my current play style I tend to copy to an extend the play style of Zhang Jike. I always open the play with a backhand flick. I also have a more side spinny forehand much like Zhang. But not with that quality and consistency. Haha

I'm practising the services of J.O. Waldner and the style of play of Ma Long in FH and Kreanga in BH

DD....

I like to go yolo like Chen Qi

Close to the table, try to attack most of serves and take the initiative. I also try to finish the ball as soon as possible, because my footwork is not good enough.

Koki Niwa, allround offensive with a passion for touch shots.

I hate playing against players like you

are you a two winged player? Or mainly forehand or backhand?

Both sides, usually I start with BH and continue with FH - if necessary

.
Most of my offensive opponents do not like to play with me, they usualy say there is no game, because everything finishes in second of third shot.

I play like Jun. I drop back immediately. I've gotten better though. I still lose to aggressive blockers because I always give 100% without leaving time to recover.

Make a shorter swing everytime you make a spin, dont use full arm swing..better if you use your hip movement

I try to allways find my own way to do things, but I have been told that my style looks like Waldner/Persson/Appelgren combined.. Maybe I've been watching too much old videos on youtube and it has become my style that way

But honestly, my style looks most like my style haha

Hahah. I'll be surprised if your style doesn't look like your style

My service receive is most of the time banana flick if its short,or a deep cut if its long.I sometimes attack long 1's but my consistency is not 100%.

i play more of an allround offensive,but cant name any pro players that i think i play like(maybe cos ive gotten my own style)(although i try a placing game sometimes like JO waldner)

serves are reverse pendulum like zhang jike(but not his quality),Timo boll's back-sidespin or ghost serve.

anchorschmidt · Jun 5, 2014

Waldner without the genius element, so a bit like Persson or Samsonov. Allround technique with good serves and a strong backhand. I play my best when I'm calm and collected. I have a good short game and I rely on placement and changes in spin, direction and speed to win my points.

Butt Stallion · Jun 5, 2014

I play exactly like Zhou Yu, i have his strenghts and his weakness

Mr. RicharD · Jun 5, 2014

Well it's hard to say that I have a style like anyone. But if there are any players I tend to copy serves and strokes from I would say they're the U.S. players I've been coached or given tips by. Han Xiao, Peter Li, Steven Chan are among the most dominant in my play style. Try to BH like Han, stay calm like Peter, and FH like Steven that's mostly how I've improved actually lol.

Der_Echte · Jun 5, 2014

Ballistic on OFF when serving. Allround to DEF on serve receive unless I get in the mood to aggressively receive when I see the ball well.

MDanielCRO · Jun 5, 2014

I do mostly serve pendulum serve and reverse pendulum. Mostly try to attack but first ball not very aggresive, just spinny.
On the receive I use backhand banana or forehand short push (which too often goes long) and the same thing later. When game is open I never just block, always give that little of extra topspin to the ball. When I watched last game of the Walther Ricardo I can really say we have similar styles, but just the other level of play. The main difference is that he is always calm, I am really explosive and that's why I sometimes behave like a goth.

izra · Jun 6, 2014

i don't think anyone should try to play like dima or mizutani or whoever. if you practice hard and smart your style sort of develops on it's own. whichever pro player it resembles most is just an accident. that being said, my style is closest to whichever pro player moves around the least and blocks a lot.

Whats your play style or what professional player is your play style like?
