Top myths in table tennis for 2024

[Carline]

1. Long pips actually do exist in table tennis (on ITTF LARC) after 1998 and especially after 2014 in the 40+ plastic ball ONLY era
2. ITTF knows what is good for the sport & loves all playing styles including anti & (still so called) long pips
3. Anti spin rubber is a viable weakside (backhand) rubber after 2014 in the 40+ plastic ball ONLY era
4. The more expensive a rubber is, the better it has to be. You get what you paid for.
5. Standard production oversized blades exist in table tennis (for choppers)
6. Table tennis can be made wildly popular like pickleball by reverting to hardbat & sandpaper
7. Pros use the exact identical same rubbers & blades as sold to amateurs
7 A.. Any amateur can execute a given stroke as good as a pro simply by using what rubber or blade a pro uses or says you should
7 B.. All pros use the right rubbers and blades all the time & play at their maximum potential
8. All humans (can) have equal & same style backhand because pros do
8 A We all should use identical (spinny inverted) rubbers for backhand & forehand because all humans are born equal
8 B Top spin from both sides is good enough for table tennis. Look at tennis
8 C... I am more athletic and talented because I use spinny inverted rubber
8 D My definition of skill is the only skill that should be allowed to play table tennis
9. Boosting is OFFICIALLY approved by ITTF as long as it has no VOC
9 A . Chemical testing is needed only at higher levels because illegal boosting is a performance issue NOT a health issue (So no testing is needed at lower levels because health of lower players is not as important as health of pros)
10. There is very little booster cheating in table tennis because all two winged loopers are so honorable & highly ethical but pips treating cheats are super rampant in table tennis because pips treat cheats have no skills and compensate for lack of skills by cheating
11. Short pips is a viable weakside (backhand) rubber after 2014 in the 40+ plastic ball ONLY era
12. Short pips can be a weakside (backhand) chopping rubber. Look at Wang Yang, Hou Yingchao , Wang Tang, Han Ying etc.
13. Technique is lot more important than equipment in table tennis
14. Any player can play with any grip if they train hard
15. If you practice hard , you can achieve the consistency of Ma Long or Waldner
16. You should spend most of your time practicing straight spins back & top spins & ignore side spins
17. Same rule sets that works for pros should also work for youth & masters level players
18. Table tennis is a spectator sport and not mostly a participant sport
19. Non-table tennis playing spectators love & enjoy short rallies & third & fifth ball points of pro table tennis
20. For amateur players, sponge is actually useful for so called long pips because that is what the pros use

Question for moderators

Are personal attacks like this , especially totally unsubantiated like in this post, allowed in this forum ?
Doon't they violate forum rules ?

If this person thinks I am crazy , fine. But when he or she posts a general vague personal attack that shows you have nothing , zero , zilch , nada to disprove my statements & then you are making a total fool of yourselves in public
