What's the difference between horizontal and straight table tennis?

The difference between horizontal shooting and straight shooting is as follows:

1, the problem of backhand action

Careful observation of backhand grip and backhand grip shows that there are many similarities between them, such as wrist adduction, elbow pushing forward slightly, power friction and waist turning force. So backhand backhand and backhand can learn from each other.

2. Different forehand hitting points

By observing the backhand grip and backhand grip, we can see that the spatial position of forehand stroke is different. The horizontal stroke player swipes the ball forward and inward above the outside of the wrist, while the straight stroke player swipes the ball forward and inward below the outside of the wrist, resulting in the difference of hitting points.

Extended data:

From a technical point of view, the grip methods of the straight shot and the horizontal shot are actually different. If you don't take the forehand and backhand method, then the forehand and backhand shots are all the same rubber, because you don't need to change sides, so you can shoot faster. Forehand attack is fast and powerful, and the hand is flexible. You can also carry out fierce attacks continuously, including fast control, slow control and hard control, so most players who hold backhand are mainly offensive.

However, due to the limitation of grip, the fingering of grip changes greatly when attacking, pulling, cutting and wiping, especially when alternately attacking and pushing blocks, which often affects the accuracy of hitting the ball, so it is not as good as the combination of attack and defense of horizontal grip. However, when the horizontal racket attacks, pulls, cuts and even rubs the ball in the same direction, the fingering and grip have little change, and it is easy to attack and defend well, which is suitable for the comprehensive play of attacking, pulling and rubbing.

Moreover, the horizontal grip method has a wide range of care, which can not only slow down but also accelerate, and use the combination of rigidity and softness to give the backhand of the straight shot a greater sense of oppression, especially the backhand and forehand pull the loop ball.
