Why is j-pen never used anymore in this modern era of table tennis?
Alois Rosario Answered 3 years ago
Hi Jason,
I think it is mainly because it is more difficult to play the Reverse Penhold Backhand. This limits the flexibility of a player to use both sides and forces them to rely more on their movement.

The last player who used the j pen style was Ryu Seung Min(if I'm not wrong ). His a pretty good player.
