What is the biggest weakness of a straight paddle player in table tennis?

Answer: The development of the straight backhand: The straight backhand has always been considered the dead center of the straight paddle player. With the rapid development of table tennis speed and rotation, the straight backhand has always been the biggest technical loophole for straight paddlers due to its physiological constraints, inability to tilt the paddle forward at will and difficulty in generating power. In addition, straight paddle has a large amount of movement, generally need to run up to play, such as China's outstanding table tennis player Ma Lin, I heard that he wore out a pair of shoes in a week. The straight backhand also has a great weakness, although there is a straight crosscourt technique but it is not as convenient and natural as the crosscourt. The straight racket is held like chopsticks when we eat, while the horizontal racket is held like a westerner's knife and fork when he eats, so most easterners use the straight racket, while most westerners use the horizontal racket. The advantage of the straight racket is that the wrist is more flexible, so the serve is good, billiard ball control is also good, the weakness is the backhand spin ability is very poor, but in recent years there are a lot of people learning the straight racket cross-court play, to a certain extent, to make up for this shortcoming. The advantage of the horizontal racket is that both sides can pull the arc circle, good holding ability, good continuity in the center of the table far. The disadvantage is that it is not as versatile as the straight racket, and the center is also the weak point of the cross-court racket.
