I came across this interesting video clip and learned something about the history of reverse penhold backhand (RPB) today. It is in Chinese but I want to share this with you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kejlEjOm1XA&feature=related In the mid to late 1980's, Chinese penhold players were losing. Coach Xu shaofa predicted that Europe (Sweden) and others (Korea) would beat the Chinese style penhold unless some drastic changes are made soon. Although there was a lot of resistance from other Chinese coaches, Xu persisted and pressed for that change: RPB. The rest of the story you already know: then came along LGL, Ma Lin, and Wang Hao. Look at this video and see how many famous players (then younger) you recognize. I saw Xu shaofa played in the 1970's. He was not the best but his high throw service was considered the best. He was the master or "magician" of service. I think LGL learned the serving from Xu. |

I think wang jj belongs in history.
He started to play Reverse backhand penhold, than LG or someone made
him playing Jpenhold (for beeing a ryu clone) and after that, he changed
again to Cpen.
That's incredible, ask ma lin to play Jpen for 4 years, and change it after that(for exemple)
