Which is better, straight paddle cross-hander or cross-hander backhand?

When playing table tennis, Chinese people naturally hold their paddles straight, while Europeans and Americans naturally hold their paddles horizontally. Some people say that this may have something to do with the fact that in everyday life, Chinese people hold chopsticks while Europeans and Americans hold knives and forks during meals, which is both interesting and somewhat true. Today, there are many more Chinese amateurs who play with straight rackets than with horizontal rackets. In the past, during the three decades from the late 1950s to the late 1980s, there were many more Chinese professionals who played with straight rackets than with horizontal rackets, and there were also world-class masters such as Yung Kuo-tuan, Zhuang Zedong, Jiang Jialiang, and so on, whose straight-grip, fast-attacking style not only swept the world, but also made table tennis, which was invented by foreigners, become the national sport of China. They not only swept the world, but also made table tennis, which was invented by foreigners, China's national sport. However, with the development of table tennis in the world, the traditional Chinese straight racket fast attack style of play has gradually declined, and with the retirement of the last fruit, Liu Guoliang, more than a decade ago, the traditional Chinese straight racket fast attack style of play has disappeared from the world's high-level competitive arena. The technical reason for the disappearance of the traditional Chinese straight-shot fast-attack style of play is the relatively weak ability of the backhand position, regardless of offense and defense, it is difficult to counteract the arc circle of the backhand position of the cross-court racket. The reason for this is related to the human physiological structure. Take the small arm, the human small arm along the longest axis of the small arm rotation to be very flexible to reach 180 degrees is very difficult, straight grip racket with the front of the racket to draw the ball, the pressure plate is relatively difficult to attack the ball also need to tilt the body, the technical action can be accomplished; furthermore, to kill the high ball due to the need to elevate the big arm, the backhand position of the front of the draw is even more difficult, the ball, a high, can not be pressed; in addition, in wrist In addition, in the traditional Chinese straight racket backhand draw, the wrist rotates in a side flip-flop fashion, which makes it difficult to assist the power in the attack. In other words, the traditional Chinese backhand attack with a straight racket has big defects, the main defects are as follows: 1. Difficulty in pressing the board, easy to hit and friction; 2. Tilting of the body, difficult to attack continuously on the move; 3. Wrist hindrance, difficult to concentrate and explode the power; 4. Big arm constraints, difficult to hit the high ball. It is in the backhand position of the attack and defense (will not repeat) defects, the Chinese traditional straight shoot fast attack type of play is also inevitable backwardness. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the backhand position of the traditional straight-racket fast-attack style of play, someone invented the straight-racket cross-court technique. Straight racket cross-court is to hit the ball with the opposite side of the straight racket from the backhand position in the same way as the cross-court is hit from the backhand position. As soon as the straight paddle cross-court stroke appeared, there were national table tennis authorities who considered it to be a cross-court style of play, and some said outright that it was a cross-court stroke, and so such a technique was given a name as soon as it began. It is true that straight cross-court hitting is quite analogous to cross-court hitting, and there is a fair amount of truth in some people's belief that such a technique is a cross-court technique. However, there is still a slight difference between the straight cross-court stroke and the cross-court stroke, and this slight difference has led to the differences between the straight cross-court stroke and the cross-court stroke, which, again, are due to the physiological structure of the human body. As the straight racket cross-court play is to learn the cross-court play, of course, with the cross-court has a certain gap: 1. cross-court in front of the chest, the racket can be naturally parallel to the body; and cross-court play to be so, you must wrists turned inside out. Therefore, when attacking a straight or diagonal line, the transition of the horizontal racket requires less body coordination than that of the horizontal racket, which means that the horizontal racket is relatively more convenient and easier than the horizontal stroke in this regard.2. When swinging the horizontal racket in attack, the wrist is a loose-leaf type of movement, which allows the wrist to better assist in the release of power, whereas the wrist is a semi-loose-leaf type of movement in the horizontal stroke, and the release of power would be slightly stagnant. Therefore, the quality of the cross-court stroke is slightly higher than the cross-court stroke in terms of power attack. Everything in the world, there is a benefit must have a disadvantage, cross-hitting also has certain advantages: 1. It is because of the straight racket cross-hitting wrist needs to be turned inward, cross-hitting than cross-hitting will be easier to create side-spin, especially in the arc ball, hit the ball naturally with side-spin, to the other side of the defense to bring a certain degree of difficulty. 2. in the table on the short-ball wringing, cross-hitting the wrist that has become a flip-flop type of movement, coupled with the handle of the ball exposed, so that it has greater freedom of movement, and the wrist will become a half-flap type of movement. This has a greater degree of freedom is also more convenient to power, the quality of the ball is not only high, but also more changes in the rotation, and can even be twisted out of the ball to the downward spiral. Overall, the spin of the straight cross-court shot is more varied, and the quality of the cross-court attack is slightly higher.
