As long as Wang Liqin is alive ( does not have to play ) , he is the best FH in the world at the moment

Ha. Nice. Like the angle you were there. Although I think we should add that we didn't get to see his FH with the plastic ball. If we're doing the people still alive game, there's a lot of people who could be in the running in the 38mm era.
But I digress. I'll put in my vote for that it's still Xu Xin. Despite an inconsistent backhand his entire career, he's still essentially the 3rd best player in the world which should tell you something about just how dominate that FH is. He takes it.
Around the net. Too much spin forcing opponent to block it long. Hook? fade? There's really nothing he can't do with it.
Although, harimoto can be a contender already adding to that.

马龙的特点是非常全面,好的时候哪儿都好,但是到了关键时刻,他缺少“核武器”,缺少致命的杀手锏。马龙始终给人一种与人保持距离的感觉,能让对手施展开。其实马龙的前三板比马琳好,但是在大赛当中,他前三板的优势就体现不出来。平时他的攻防是最全面的,但是到大赛时防守总是虚的。他的头脑、手感、战术意识是强项,他现在要做的是一定要算计在别人前,想着怎么能把别人锁在他的圈里。光考虑自己打着舒服不行,应该是先让别人难受。
马龙说:“自己相对来说进入状态比较快,属于前三板型,自己跟两年前相比已经有了进步,可能在关键时刻把握上,包括心态上有很大的提高,教练放心的让我打第一场。”
XX has good talent. He is very strong in topsin exchanges, whom I believe is the greatest inverted penholder in handling topspin shots in the history of CNT. Also, XX is tall, has a huge wingspan, has got a good touch and outstanding physique. However, his style could use more aggression. He wins mostly by his coping ability and he is adept at clinging to his opponent, giving rise to his nickname "the boa".
Best FH now for me it is XX. Hard to beat him on FH-FH rallies.
I think we can also include Ryu Seung Min in that category too.
Yogi you've lost this one. Harimoto is a top 10 backhand dominant player the number 2(reality 3) xu xin has only a forehand on the world stage and is better than him. If Hari has a better forehand and backhand then he would regularly best xu. Imho even fzd doesn't have as good a forehand as XX but almost as good and a waaay better bh. So if th has the better forehand he should be vying for top dog.
My answer. Xu xin has best forehand for killing and soft touch but he is often out of position trying to cover whole table with it.
Ma long is the only other person who can do the same shots as XX but with less sidespin. Fzd is amazing but he doesn't often place the ball on the short edge when it's hard to do like the others
I'm not contradicting anything. I said that this year Harimoto has rarely played fh counterloops and that last year he used to do more counterloops using the video as an example. I'm not sure what's so hard to understand here.
Yes you are contradicting yourself clearly. It is clearly different when you say he cannot do counter loops to he rarely uses it and then even claiming he just do soft blocks in his forehand which is funny because in the video you posted it also showed him doing counterloops. If i count he points he won due to his forehand including counterloops and not blocks those were a good amount of forehand points.
Please tell me these are weak soft blocks in his forehand.

It has to be ma long or zjk imho.
Oh ok. Now harimoto cannot do counterloops for fh? I think you are the one joking. A top 10 ranking player cannot do a counterloop?. Anyway, i never said he has the best forehand. I said he can be a contender.
