In the early 1960s, Japanese athletes invented the loop ball. It is called loop ball because the athletes at that time pulled out a powerful topspin ball with obvious arc with a backhand during the falling of the incoming ball. Before 1950s, the world table tennis was once dominated by Europe. Even at the 19 World Table Tennis Championships held in Mumbai in 1952, after the Japanese team Zuo won the men's singles championship for the first time with its new weapon (sponge racket) and new style of play (forehand and long racket attack), Tsumura and Hotan in Japan also had their own styles. However, it can't change the confidence of European players in their chopping style. In Europe, there is Biercek, a rotary knife that only a crane can pull up, and Sido, a veteran of the 25th world men's singles runner-up. Although it is the rise of the Japanese in Asia, the world table tennis is at best an era of attack and confrontation between chopping and long draw. What really dealt them a fatal blow was that in the early 1960s, the famous European chippers formed a United team and went to Japan to participate in an away game, which resulted in a crushing defeat in the face of Japan's new curling skills. At this time, the 26th World Table Tennis Championships will be held in Beijing. The China table tennis team, which was preparing for the war, quickly got this important message, and immediately sent people to Hong Kong to watch the Japanese game, and soon mastered the first-hand information of loop ball technology. For the honor of the country, many outstanding national players at that time, such as Hu Bingquan, Xue, and Yan, gave up their original style of play and volunteered to play iron around the world, imitating the style of Japanese athletes and willing to be sparring partners. At the same time, in view of the weaknesses of curling at that time, such as late hitting time, high arc and slow attack speed, China players carefully prepared techniques and tactics such as serving attack, attacking the ball in the table, backhand attack and quick blocking. At the 26th World Table Tennis Championships, the ambitious Japanese team suddenly discovered that their new technology had no secrets. What shocked them even more was that there were many athletes in China who pulled the arc like them. As a result, in the men's team championship battle, which is regarded as the heaviest gold medal, the classic scene of Xu Yinsheng 12 smash hitting the Japanese team's confidence was finally staged. It is said that Hoshino, the all-Japan champion who lost three points in a row, became a scapegoat, and Seitaro, the coach of the Japanese team who became angry after the game, gave him a slap in the face. Since then, many top Japanese curling players have been defeated by China. Zhuang Zedong, known as "Little Tiger Style", defeated Kenji Kimura, the Japanese team's star of hope, with fierce fast breaks on both sides (this gentleman won China's two points in the team competition). Known as the "bomber", Li Furong defeated Shibuya with fierce sideways and forehand fast break; Xu Yinsheng, known as the "intellectual star", defeated Haruki Murakami with his unpredictable serve and quick lane change. Known as the "magician", Zhang used a long rubber racket invented by China to beat former world champion Ichiro Tsumura with its steady chopping and unpredictable rotation. After Japan, China began to climb to the top of table tennis in the world. Since then, the world table tennis has entered an era of confrontation with different attack speed and rotation characteristics between China and Japan, which can also be called the era of confrontation between near-table fast attack and anti-glue loop attack.
In a sense, the anti-adhesive loop ball technology is a bit untimely. It's because China's fast-break play near Taiwan is becoming more and more perfect and mature, so it is impossible to have enough room for the development of loop ball technology, and China's traditional humanistic environment also restricts the further development of loop ball in China. What needs to be pointed out in particular is that the first generation of curling athletes in China started as sparring partners, and most of these unsung heroes are not superb masters. At that time, the idol worshipped by most young athletes was naturally the leader of the fast break near Taiwan who used the traditional rubber racket, so few people learned this Japanese curling technique that was defeated by China's fast break at an early age. The popularization and promotion of loop ball technology and anti-sticking racket took place in the early 1970s. At that time, a new generation of European athletes had changed their ideas, completely abandoned the traditional chopping style, abandoned defense as attack, and integrated Japanese curling with China's near-table fast break, creating the embryonic form of modern curling fast break technology. Until the end of 1980s, at the World Table Tennis Championships in Montreal, the three Swedish swordsmen-Waldner, persson and Apeyilun finally convincingly defeated their old rivals China with a score of 5: 0, realizing their dreams and regaining the long-lost Swissling Cup for Europe. At this point, it is really a sword for ten years. The modern arc fast breaking technology, which combines speed and rotation, has matured and finally become the mainstream recognized in the world. Since then, reverse glue has replaced positive glue and become people's first choice.
In fact, the attack speed of using the backhand to pull the loop ball is not slower than that of the positive glue. The hitting speed of positive glue fast break is mainly manifested in the fast hitting rhythm near the table, that is, we strive for the rising point and the highest point of hitting the ball, and strive for the initiative with the rhythm speed of combining the landing point with the light and heavy power. In addition, because the coefficient of rubber friction ball is not as good as that of reverse rubber, and the ball plate is thick and hard, the hitting speed is fast and the arc is easy to be flat. Therefore, some foreigners call China's real glue fast break "colorful flag on the stage", as the name implies, it is to gain time advantage by playing fast, with a flat arc and short distance. However, the modern fast loop ball attack technology using backhand can not only hit the rhythm speed of the positive glue and the flying speed when hitting the ball vigorously, but also create a strong topspin when attacking, so that the ball can move forward or arch after landing, resulting in acceleration and speed change that the positive glue does not have. In other words, in the same recent attack, reverse glue has one more speed winning factor than positive glue. Even in the off-stage attack that loses rhythm and speed, the reverse glue can still maintain the fast flying speed and the acceleration and speed change of the forehand, which are not easy for the positive glue racket to do. Because the anti-sticking racket has many speed advantages, it is the inevitable result of the development of table tennis technology that most people choose the anti-sticking racket.
People who use reverse glue rackets are often troubled by the service life of reverse glue. Unlike reverse glue, reverse glue rackets sometimes have a short service life. Generally speaking, even if it is well protected, it will only take 3-4 months at most. But there are exceptions I met an American old man who loves table tennis in Beijing this summer. He treasures his racket very much. According to him, he insists on practicing more than three times a week, and each time it is more than 1 hour. However, his anti-sticking racket has been used for two years, and it seems to be new. It turned out that he specially made a plexiglass racket clip for his racket. After each use, he will clean it with a special racket face cleaner, and then clamp the anti-sticking surface with a racket clip to isolate the anti-sticking from the air. In order to prevent the racket clip from separating from the racket, he also installed bolts at the four corners of the racket clip. The old man never allows others to touch the anti-sticking surface of his racket casually. Indeed, his racket is very well protected. According to rubber experts, rubber molecules are intertwined like lines. After vulcanization, sulfur molecules and rubber molecules will be arranged in an orderly manner. A new type of anti-sticking agent with good surface friction coefficient is mainly caused by the short head and gap of rubber linear molecular arrangement. However, the release agent becomes non-stick for two main reasons. First, the gaps between anti-sticking molecules are filled with dust and debris, which makes the anti-sticking surface physically change. Another reason is that the anti-sticking molecules further react with chemicals in the air, which leads to chemical changes on the bonding surface. According to the above principle, as long as you keep the playing environment clean and sanitary, and at the same time carefully protect your anti-adhesive racket like that old American man, the anti-adhesive life will definitely last longer.
