Are chippers good?

Chipping is one of the traditional techniques of table tennis in China, and one of the defensive techniques of table tennis, chipping technique is developing to turn, stable, low, and offensive direction.

Table tennis technical term. A technique that utilizes the friction of the racket to chip the ball. When hitting the ball, the racket is tilted back, swung forward and downward from the top of the body side, swung in a circular arc route, touching the middle and bottom of the ball in the descending period of the ball. It is characterized by slow speed, long arc and low spin. It is a kind of defense technique, threatening the opponent with its spin and drop point change. There are close chipping, far chipping, plus spin chipping, no spin chipping, chipping forced angle ball and chipping arc circle ball and so on.

With the popularity of the arc ball in Europe, the center of gravity of chipping gradually shifted to Asia. After Jiang Yongning, who was also known for his stability, footwork and toughness, Li Rensu began experimenting with the principle of "spinning or not spinning" in chipping, while Wang Zhiliang, who played on both sides of the rubber, gave spinning or not spinning chipping its first big break in the world game. His doubles partner, Zhang Xielin, also used the performance of long rubber with a little counter-attack under the premise of low arc and steady chipping, which repeatedly confused the opponents. Chinese characteristics of the chipping style of play began to take shape. When Liang Goliang participated in the world tournament, he integrated the inverted plate technology on the basis of chipping or not, which greatly increased the space for changes and attacking opportunities of the cross-bladed chipping. From two-side backspin, backspin/raw rubber to backspin/long rubber, Liang Goliang, who had practiced two-side attacking ball, tried all kinds of combinations, and finally went back to chipping, his special experience determined his strong attacking force and many changes in front of the stage, especially his serve is more tricky, and he even won two gold medals of doubles of the World Tournament with two attacking ball players successively, namely, Li Li and Li Zhenbiao. Huang Liang, who uses a combination of backspin/long rubber, still focuses on spin and not much offense. Before restricting the color of the rubber, Lu Yuansheng, the last representative of China's inverted chipping, and the only famous chipper with a long rubber on the forehand and a backhand on the backhand, could be considered a unique player. Subsequently, Chen Xinhua and Wang Hao inherited the positive and proactive characteristics of their predecessors, and at the same time further increased the strength and range of counter-attack in chipping by virtue of their height advantage. The emergence of Ding Song undoubtedly marked the completion of the process of quantitative change to qualitative change in China's chipping style of play, not only the threat of the first three boards increased greatly, but also the first chipper to pull the arc of the precedent. Zhu Shih, on the other hand, has made the chipper's counterattacking ability more advanced, realizing the real meaning of continuous pull.

China's close neighbor, Japan, is relatively middle of the road in the development of chipping: spin is not as strong as in Europe, and counterattack is not as much as in China. Liang Goliang period of Japan out of a Takashima Tetsuo, chipping skills quite Lu Yuansheng appreciate, Zhang Xielin's evaluation is also very high, "just right, hit the point is relatively fixed, but also has quite a spin, as the two sides of the anti-glue of its chipping steadiness is very rare", but he only forehand with some counterattack ability, this person 44 World Series when he had done the He was the head coach of the Japanese team at the 44th World Championships. Koji Matsushita, who came after him, merely continued the pattern, but was better than the blue but not better than the blue. North Korea's Lee Geun-sang was also one of the few good chippers at the end of the last century, with a style similar to Chen Xinhua.

Until today, Said, Koji Matsushita and other traditional chippers have never cited Ding Song as a fellow traveler, and most Japanese understanding of chipping is still at the level of "the other side pulling 20 boards and I chipping 21 boards". A quick glance at a table tennis article written in English shows that the European term for "chipper" is still "defensive player/defender" or "back-spin player". The term "back-spin player" is still used in Europe to refer to a "chipper", while in China, the average fan is familiar with the "combination of attacking and chipping". Of course, the Europeans couldn't remain indifferent to Zhu Shih's miracle, and the Greek head coach believed that "today's chippers have to be able to attack quite well, and their backhands need to be more counter-attacking from the near table", for which they have coined a new term - "modern" (modern).

Women's chipping has been almost as stagnant as men's chipping. Rosaianu, Alexandru are mainly steady; with the same period of Xiduo Gao Kian also focus on high point chipping, but stand a little farther than Xiduo, counterattack is not so active; backhand are long rubber Lin Huiqing, Zheng Minzhi is still steady chipping plus a little counterattack; Ge Xinai inherited the mantle of the coach Zhang Xielin, to disrupt the opponent, the attack is not too much, the back of the back of the counter-posting occasional attack of the purpose of the change; Tong Ling borrowed some Tong Ling borrowed a bit of men's serve attack, but still not out of the pattern of Lin Huiqing, Zheng Minzhi; since then, Guan Jianhua, Deng Yaping, Wang Hui, Cheng Hongxia, etc. has not been qualitative changes. The former Soviet Union is no exception to the abundance of chipping: had as the 1994 World Cup Women's Champion main Russian player Timina is a good use of the backhand long rubber to cut the arc circle of the "cowhide", and after the 1996 Olympic Games on behalf of Italy to participate in the Bratova, although the attack is slightly more, but also still confined to the near table counterattack. Overseas Chinese female chippers, Shi Jie is the backhand long rubber, He Qianhong positive hand for the positive rubber, Tian Jing in the country when the best rankings but the 10th, the only Li Jun positive hand backhand backhand positive rubber, when Ding Song was inspired by her to establish the direction of today's development. For the Paris World Series, respectively, lost to Gao Jun and Niu Jianfeng's Jin Jing'e and Vik. Pavlovic, Lu Yuansheng's evaluation is "bland".

The Chinese national team's existing women's chippers, Wang Tingting two sides of the anti-glue, forehand chipping spin strength can be called the world's first women's, the other side of the basic pull on the net, but her forehand attacking strength is limited, and therefore mainly rely on the other side of the return of the ball to the net scoring; Ding Ying chipping spin is not strong, the stability of the still good, but the start is a little slower, the continuous wide range of high level of defense is more reluctant; Jiu Lianhua stronger attacking ability, but the forehand chipping can not, the relationship between attack and defense is not good. The forehand can't be chipped, the relationship between offense and defense is more one-sided, and the idea is also conservative.

It seems that only Fan Ying, who is similar to Ding Song, is expected to be a turning point in the development of women's chipping, and Gao Jun also commented, "Her technique is a bit masculine, and her forehand arc has some power." Indeed, in the 21st century women's ping pong, Boros, Steve can already use the backhand arc rushing chipping, chippers no longer "mutation" will have to sit and wait for death.
