Is the Plastic Ball the end of Xu Xin and Penholders

After the usage of the plastic ball, Xu Xin's topspins got considerably slower and some of them aren't even going in like the match between him and fan zhendong (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uukbzDOnT6I). Is this the end for Xu Xin? If it is, then who is going to be the next penholder?

Hi Romeo,

I don’t think it is the end at all.  Watch out for him...

What do others think?

Ping Pong Accuracy Test… With Jeff’s Head on the Line!

Alois tries to knock a cone off Jeff’s head… and let’s just say, it doesn’t go to plan. 😂

After a few close (and not-so-close) attempts, Jeff steps in to show how it’s really done.
Cone on head. Ping pong ball. A test of precision, patience… and pride.

Will Alois redeem himself? Or will Jeff forever hold the bragging rights?

🧠 Probably not how you should practise… but definitely how we do.

I personally don't think that this is the end at all. His topspins may be slower, and less dangerous, but however, because of this Xu Xin has started to do a lot of tricky shots. (Weird sidespin, and tricky loops). For your question; "Who is going to be the next penholder?" I honestly have no idea. I haven't seen that many top penholders around except for Xu Xin. There will probably be one very soon though, so keep your eyes open! smile
