I agree. Playing closer to table, more loop drive than slow spin and using Banana flip to open instead of push.
Harimoto is probably the prototype of this.
Timo also adjusted his game that way, albeit of course not as extreme as harimoto, he now plays closer to the table and less spinny loops than he used to.
BTW I think there is a little backlash with the "supermodern" game like harimoto. Of course those tools like early and harder hitting and opening flick still is used a lot but overall I think it is getting a bit more balanced again. When harimoto came up many struggled with his super aggressive game but later they adjusted a little.
I think if you watch FZD and ma long now for example they are still using flick but they are using more short push again since people got better at counter looping that flick.
So being able to do the harimoto style is very helpful but if you are super one dimensional and radical with that game like harimoto the opponents have figured out that a little.
