In the late 1950s and early 1960s, China players became the top table tennis teams in the world with their unique fast break near Taiwan Province. During this period, Japanese players invented the loop ball on the basis of quick interception, but China's attack speed was faster, China overwhelmed Japan, and Europe's chop defense was more backward. This new revolution has kept China table tennis in the leading position for a long time.
Europe is not satisfied with backwardness. After going through the twists and turns of abandoning defense for attack and combining attack and defense, according to their own characteristics, they absorbed the advantages of Japanese loop ball and China fast attack, and created the style of loop ball combined with fast attack and fast attack combined with loop ball. This breakthrough has made the level of table tennis in Europe advance by leaps and bounds, posing a great threat to Asian players.

The History and Development of Table Tennis
A lithograph in 18 10 depicts two children playing a game similar to table tennis. If so, then their family should apply for the invention patent of table tennis.
This is more than half a century earlier than people generally believe that table tennis originated from tennis. After the appearance of table tennis, many game and toy manufacturers immediately gave this new game various names with their own national characteristics. Among them, "Ping-pong" imitates the sound of the racket hitting the ball and the ball falling on the table, which was given to it by a British toy company 1900.
The registered name of this "new lawn tennis". Soon, table tennis became popular. It's more like moving tennis from the palace to the ordinary family of ordinary people.
1903, one of the rules of tennis is that players are not allowed to wear skirts and shirts. Even as a pastime for the rich, table tennis starts with the most basic equipment. Its ball is made of rope, cork and rubber.
Yes, the net was replaced by a flattened book, and the racket was made of wood.
By the end of 1980s, American and British manufacturers began to produce prototype rackets, balls and tables, hoping that their products would become the "official" supplies of table tennis. Most of the original rackets were made of wood and covered with rubber with particles, but their shapes and sizes were different. In the competition of manufacturers, there is no agreement on the size, and even today there is no unified standard.
A breakthrough in the development of table tennis occurred in 190 1 year. A British player named James Gibb returned from a trip to the United States and brought back a children's toy ball called "celluloid". ) ",he feels very suitable for playing table tennis. The appearance of the new ball has brought new interest to the sport. Until today, "celluloid" is still the standard raw material for making table tennis.
In the 1920s, the development of table tennis reached an amazing speed. European countries, led by Britain, Germany and Hungary, can't wait to set up the International Table Tennis Federation in 1926. The following year, the first World Table Tennis Championships was held, and the period of Hungarian players monopolizing the world table tennis began. Before 1950s, Hungarian players were invincible in both men's and women's world table tennis championships. However, the revolution of training technology has brought table tennis to a new height. Swedish coaches took the lead in setting off a wave of reform, and they learned the most favorable experience from competitions with various opponents. If Japanese players are famous for forehand loop ball, China players have strong backhand attack, and Hungarian players are better at near-Taiwan fast break, then the Swedes concentrate all the strength of their opponents. Swedes often invite foreign coaches to train their players. Thanks to various measures, Sweden won several world championships.
