Guo Yue Hua is one of my favorite TT players. Guo Yue Hua didn't loop drive every shot. He mostly rely on slow spinny loops to set up his loop drives. The commentators from HK knew something about TT but usually mistook side-topspin serves as non-spinny serves. Professional players won't miss a no-spin ball.

If he'd a rare opportunity to learn to use the reverse penhold backhand skill in his time,needless to say,he could not only easily cope with any European shakehand player by combining his sharp forehand looping attack skill with his RPB technique but also inevitably dominate the world table tennis for some more years before retiring.

The reverse backhand was pretty unfeasible with the 38mm ball.

[@jesseyu7790]

@@dickn.ormous1064 Yeah, maybe ?Because I'd been thru 38mm ball era in table tennis field. I think I'd have a trial on 38mm ball with my RPB skill to prove your words someday.

​@@jesseyu7790 Not even Appelgren played the backhand loop yet people fantasize about mythical rpm in the 80's.LGL and Ma Lin made that shot like 2 times per set and they speed glued...It worked only for Wang Hao with the 40mm ball.Even among shakehand players BH looping was a specialist shot used by Eastern Europeans.Push-blocking was more effective than rpm,even Korean penhold backhand was more effective.

@@dickn.ormous1064 you wanted to said the korean pen hold back hand execute with jpen blade?

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@sumandas9487 Yup,Kim Taek Soo could keep fine in bh to bh rallies against Kong Linghui who was one of the first bh dominant Asians.How would a player like Guo Yuehua who was not tall and didn"t speed glue keep up in Bh rallies using PRB is beyond me.

现在再看看老录像，就知道为什么上一代人（对你们现在看视频的大部分人，是上两代了）为什么打球时那个姿势。原来当时世界冠军也是那个姿势。如果看6.70年代的运动员，就更是了。如果看40年代，那根本是不会打球。
