Wang Hao is the pinnacle of the straight paddle, now the straight paddle is becoming less and less popular

The straight and cross paddles of table tennis refer to the two tools that are used to hit the ball when participating in the sport; simply put, they can also be called the "straight paddle" or the "cross paddle"!

I. The difference between the straight racket and the horizontal racket grip:

1, the straight racket handle is shorter, and the grip is relatively flexible, the thumb and index finger are tightly clasped to the handle, and the rest of the three fingers can be bent to hold the back of the racket, or the three fingers can be straight to hold the back of the racket, if the beginner prefers Marin's delicate style, he or she can choose to bend the grip, and if he or she wants to learn the technique of Wang Hao's cross-court stroke, he or she can choose to hold the back of the racket with straightened fingers. If you want to learn Wang Hao's cross-court technique, then you should choose the straight finger grip.

2, the horizontal racket handle is longer, the grip is firm, you need to hold the entire palm of your hand at the handle, the tiger's mouth on top of the handle to prevent the racket from rotating, the index finger is attached horizontally to the back; the horizontal racket grip is basically the same, you can follow the example of athletes such as Wang Liqin, Zhang Jike, and Ma Long.

Second, the difference in weight between the straight racket and the horizontal racket:

1, the weight of the straight racket will be lighter, you can only stick the rubber on one side, you can also stick it on both sides, the weight is about 5-15g lighter than that of the horizontal racket.

2, the horizontal racket is relatively heavy because of the necessity of sticking the rubber on both sides and the handle is longer, the heavier the board the higher the quality of the blow, but then it will affect the agility of the table tennis action. The heavier the paddle, the higher the quality of the stroke, but it will also affect the agility of the table tennis action.

Third, the difference between the "sweet spot" of the straight paddle and the horizontal paddle:

The sweet spot is the area where the center of gravity of a paddle is found after analyzing the physics of the paddle, and then the center of gravity of the paddle is drawn in a circle, forming a region where hitting a table tennis ball ensures high quality and high speed of the ball. High speed.

1. The sweet spot of the straight racket is in the middle of the racket, which is a very comfortable position to touch the ball and is also the best position to control the ball.

2. The sweet spot of the horizontal paddle is at the front bottom of the paddle. When the ball comes into contact with the paddle, it will feel very powerful, and if you are looking for the spin and speed of the ball, this is the best place to hit the ball.

1, the advantages of the straight racket is light and flexible, due to the light weight of the straight racket, the grip wrist flexibility, and even each ball can be used to control the strength of the fingers, the straight racket players are very delicate technology, especially in the handling of the ball in the table is not easy to risk high, out of the table; and because of the wrist rotation amplitude is greater, the straight player's ball will be more rotating a little bit.

2, the advantage of the cross-court paddle is the strength of the thick sides, the weight of the board is increased, the advantage is inevitably swinging up more power, and nowadays, due to the many reforms of the material of the table tennis ball, the topspin ball has become the main theme, and the cross-court paddle's backhand screwing and pulling the rise of the cross-court paddle will be the culmination of the cross-court paddle.

And the crosscourt racket, with its left-right attack, huge guard area, and less demanding pace, is now the mainstream of the table tennis world.

1, the straight racket because the wrist is flexible, need more inspiration, play a variety of changes, hidden good, surprise victory; so the relative need for talent will be higher, want to reach a higher level of talent.

The backhand position of the straight racket is a weakness, until the emergence of Wang Hao's "horizontal", the weakness of the backhand position of the straight racket to make up for, but the straight racket on the pace of the requirements of the very high, traditional straight racket pace of the best two are: Liu Chengmin, Ma Lin.

2, the horizontal paddle in the table tennis front three boards is not flexible enough, the current national ping pong players are using the backhand twisting and pulling to form a topspin ball transition, and the horizontal paddle of the armpit position is the biggest weakness, in the case of immobility, no matter how hard the horizontal paddle is also difficult to solve.

1, the straight racket now although there has been a "straight racket horizontal" technology, but only Wang Hao a person, other players can only do imitation, and did not learn the essence, so the number of straight racket in the world of Bing has been reduced, mainly in the national Bing.

2, the horizontal paddle is now very popular, because the size of the table tennis ball, material changes, so that its rotation is reduced a lot, and from the rise of the table screw pull technology, basically very few people can still be entangled in the first three board technology, can be said to be: now it is a topspin ball era!
