Let me rephrase for you... i THINK he is mentally weak because he cho’s on forced errors to his opponents face . There... better? It’s an opinion now so you can take it or leave it. As for your style of play. I’m glad you found what works for you, as long as it makes you happy. Just remember no one is going to be admiring his style of play 5-10-15 years from now, no one is going to clap for the excitement of the rallies that are shown in that video, and no one really is going to see him play and say... “wow that guy is a great athlete” win or lose.

I'm also a fan of equipment diversity in TT. Just gives it a little something extra. I personally believe that going inverted on both sides is just better for fitness but perhaps not for winning. There are styles with pips that are also quite active. I think the key is just to be active with your play. The guy in this video is not. He might have a skill but it's closer to playing darts than an athletic sport. Edited by wilkinru - 07/31/2019 at 5:24pm |

What I saw was a very good player beating an awkward opponent. Looking at the scores, it was no wonder that the pushblocker was choing when he got a point. Anyway, I am for diversity in rubbers. They should only be banned in those competitions that I am participating. |

I wonder what the incidence of heart problems is among pushblockers compared to well .. table tennis players is. They all seem to be morbidly obese.

I am a fan of diversity in playing styles. One can watch it to learn either how to play with LP or how to beat a LP player.

How cho-ing at a mistake mentally weak? lol... They make errors BECAUSE of what the push-blocker is doing. Part of his strategy is sending over balls that will create those mistakes, which is certainly cho worthy in my book! I play that way and love doing it! Letting the other person feel that they CAN'T beat you, no matter what they do is a glorious feeling! They can't out-block, can't outpush, can't out-dink, can't out you name it... seeing THEM mentally crumble (or usually blame the rubber ) is very sweet, indeed.

what a pathetic game, oh well his fat arse won't be around much longer once testing comes in. even our little league here has pledged they will be getting testing equipment.
good to see our sport progressing through these cheaters.

I don't see a big difference between this and all the other pushblockers in the world.

I agree his game is unwatchable. Ugly as hell. But if he can compete playing this way, good for him.

Rubbers that are frictionless from the factory or those treated are ILLEGAL but those who have lost friction due to use/age are legal based on the wording of the rules.. Not sure if any of that applies to his rubber.. Hard to tell.

As someone said previously some people enjoy winning the point offensively and some enjoy watching others lose by making mistakes. Same type of people will play inverted both sides and just push/chop block everything, so its not rubber specific, but of course frictionless lp does help with forcing more errors. I always thought people that play like this, whether they use junk rubber or not, have weaknesses that they try to compensate by playing of the forced errors of their opponent. Defensively this guy is a wall, but you can tell he is mentally weak, it takes a special kind of person to "cho" in your opponent's face when they make an error.

Frictionless LP are not really allowed, so I'm puzzled a bit why he still plays with one, if it's truly frictionless. As far as why someone would play that way: it's a personal preference, some people enjoy defense and seeing opponents make a mistake. To each their own. P.S. There is a decent amount of skill involved in this style. Just different skills.

Man this is just terrible to watch :D it looks like it's a completely different sport. That style takes away any athletic elements and just tries to destroy the 'regular' game.
i know it's allowed but i wonder why one would like to play that style? just to increase your winning percentage? I'd rather quit then.
