Liu Guoliang's coach more or less forced him to switch to shakehand in the 80's because the penholder days were over. After he switched to shakehand, he started losing a lot more and not much later he went back to penhold style again. Now we all know that his coach couldn't be more wrong
WOW, thank you Jirrex for that piece of trivia! I had no idea. With LGL's (and/or his coaches at the time) innovation of the RPB, it helped keep PH style alive. However, I wonder what other innovation can be had at this point in the history of the PH style. Would hate to see the next evolution of PH is to use both sides LP or something.
