Liu Guolang, the chinese table tennis legend as player and coach, once said that he concerns about the popularity of table tennis more than the results of matches. Heavyweight balls are luring stupid stuff in table tennis. They make table tennis become bored with very few touches in every balls series, and with more offgame time, less long rallies, less visual athletic skills shows. The less touches in every ball series, the less ongame time, the more offgame time, and players lose more their time for offgame time to go to pick up balls. HEAVYWEIGHT BALLS MAKE TABLE TENNIS MANUFACTURER AND PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS TO BE POORER AND POORER, because heavyweight balls make table tennis extremely difficult to play amateur social games for new beginners. Thus majority of new beginners leave away from table tennis, and there be very few new beginners still keep playing table tennis (extremely difficult to play game for beginners). It requires few weeks of training for new beginners to reach minimal amateur levels to play amateur social games in other sport, for example in badminton, billards, .. . BUT IT REQUIRES FEW YEARS OF TRAINING FOR NEW BEGINNERS TO REACH MINIMAL AMATEUR LEVEL TO PLAY AMATEUR SOCIAL TABLE TENNIS GAMES. It is very stupid big time training requirement for beginners in table tennis, thus majority of new beinners just leave table tennis. I personally see much many real life cases today : private commercial table tennis club halls are revamped to become badminton club halls, because table tennis is extreme difficult to attract enough number of new beginners to get profit for running commercial table tennis clubs as commercial social sport services. If the commercial private table tennis halls have high ceils, then their owners often cancel table tennis club services to convert halls into commercial badminton club or other sport services halls to get profit, because there are very few new amateur table tennis players. The reason of stiff difficulty of table tennis for new beginners : heavyweight balls make table tennis to be extremely difficult for new beginners : they fly extremely lightening fast in air, and they are difficult to control for beginners. Lightweight balls make table tennis become extreme easier for new beginners : they fly slower in air, they are easier to control for beginners. With lightweight balls, every ball series will have more touches in average. Thus table tennis matches will have more ongame time and less offgame times, thus players have more ongame time. It is valuable ! Because amateur players pay their time to play table tennis matches for health and social fun/communication, thus the more offgame time, the more waste time for players ! Everyone can try lightweight balls, for example 2gr balls, to feel how extremely more easily to play table tennis for new beginners. The next balls of table tennis must be lightweight balls, for example, 2-2.5gr balls instead of the current 2.7gr balls. The result of lightweight balls will be staggering : there will be more billion new beginners come and keep playing table tennis with new lightweight balls of 2gr, because lightweight balls do not require stupid enormous few years of training to reach minimal amateur level to play amateur social table tennis game, but require only few weeks of training enough to play amateur social table tennis games. Of course, it leads to increadible big scale business of table tennis equipment manufacturers, it leads to increadible big number of table tennis audience of professional tournaments . Because new billion beginners will play and keep playing the easier version of table tennis with lightweight balls 2-2.5gram, but not the current stupid extreme difficult version of table tennis with heavyweight balls 2.7gram, thus they known playing table tennis as amateur players and once they known playing then they will have interest to watch table tennis tournaments. They will be billion one, once lightweight balls 2-2.5gram are applied in table

He went absolutely breaking bad
What an incredible player he was...
Ahhh the speedglue celluloid era. I miss these times.
so true
number 3...the forehand flick was insane
Kids these days will never know how good and powerful Bryce+Speed Glue combination was.
Hell yeah! That sound!

That outfit when he won wttc was slick
Did you notice how awesomely enjoyable table tennis is when the fps is so good ?
I'm waiting for top 20 best Joo sae - hyuk shots 🙂
5 what a backhand... Like he Slaps the ball on the table
Thank so much for compiling and sharing❤!
Who loves Werner
Great playing, specially placement !
Lenda!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Espectacular!!!
Легенда!!!
Can u imagine if he had the Chinese footwork. All his shots are pure arm based. Amazing talent
Look exactly....He optimized chinese footwork😅
His way to play can only be seen in amateur or intermediate player nowadays
It's so fun to watch!

Exactly 💯💯
Some of these were with the modern ball, and he keeps the same style. Lot of old timers just like to complain

Schlager always looked kind of clunky and mentally derranged. But his style was indeed very effective!
This comment is mentally deranged, he looks perfectly normal
@@erdling3132 nah, schlager is a creep for sure!
Many table tennis players look kind of weird. It's a fringe sport.

That’s Schlager. He does that.
@@unpoulet6859😂 true. That block against Wang liqin at wttc 2003 is one of them

No one in the world asked for you opinion 😂
Probably one of the top 5 talented players to ever play. You don’t have a clue
