AWESOME THREAD!!

Interesting to see different grip positioning for different style. Seems to me that there's a trend amongst RPB players who use traditional blocks - they appear to use only middle finger, or middle & fourth fingers for support. Others such as Liu Guoliang prefer to curl the fingers. I suppose it'd be easier to pivot the blade for traditional blocks using these methods. Whereas for Wang Hao, who doesn't use traditional blocks, his last 3 fingers are in contact with the BH rubber almost always.

Great compilation, Silver. :D

Just one snag (sorry to spoil the party)...
The last picture under He Zhi Wen is Xu Xin.

Thank you for finding these photo's Silver, I have great respect for PH players... there grip change from FH to BH is just unbelievable coming from a SH POV.

Thanks

Nice Silver (as always) ! BTW I notice on the second picture of He Zhi Wen the handle of the blade looks very very short. Do you know what blade is that ?

hmm missed this somehow.

Wasn't it supposed to be some department-store-premade-bat that he pulled the rubbers off?
I wouldn't be surprised if it's been cut, sanded, banged, dropped, kicked, etc, because that handle looks pretty worn down.

In any case I highly suspect that he's the type of person you can just give any blade to and he won't really care...

I thought it was an 032 that had been lovingly re-crafted with tender precision to the table tennis work of art it is today, at least in the hand of HZW:) Really did think it was an 032.

In the first and second picture of Gao Jun you can see her "steering" it with her thumb, with the forefinger anchored. That's characteristic. I believe her grip is looser and more flexible than most. If you're interested check out this photo:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5311&start=15#p253693

The second photo of her in this thread illustrates something I said at that link: her thumb doesn't stick up and back beside the handle as it does at times with most players; the blade also comes up, rolling under the ball of the thumb, as shown in the photo at the link.

GREAT thread ! I just find it out today, some years after.

one could see the gap between FH rubber et handle, quite interesting.

It's not just you. They were posted 10+ years ago, and are linking in picture from the ITTF website, and it looks like those picture don't exist anymore or have been moved. :(
