I definitely recall fh- and bh flicks, swoops, corkscrew chops and loops, and chopblocks in the 38mm area. Both Waldner and Persson had all that their arsenal.
It was less used, though. Lower percentage stuff, I guess.
But that doesn’t hold for the dead drop dropshot, usually executed with a sideswipe/chop. I’m not seeing those anymore, with multiple bounces. Or rarely a bounce at all.
I'm just curious show me at least one example video where a BH chopblock is being executed in the 38mm era, and with the exact same chopblock that can be seen in the first video posted on top of this thread at 12:30 by Ma Long.
And I want to see not some half-ar*ed chopblock but the kind of quality chop block that is at 12:30 in that video I posted.
I know that shot at 12:30 is more of a sidespin block/twister, and the chop block usually goes the opposite way, but either way show me the exact same shot that Ma Long did there by any other player in 38mm era I'm curious.
Regarding the drop shots, I see them plenty of times in today's matches, that includes with the added sideswipe.
