Analysis On The Characteristics Of Skills And Tactics Of Chinese Elite Table Tennis Shake-hand Grip Players

With the research methods of literature study, video observation, three phases index, mathematical statistics and so on, by watching game videos of four Chinese elite table tennis shake-hand grip players, this paper statistically analyses Ma Long’s, Zhang Jike’s, Li Xiaoxia’s and Liu Shiwen’s skills and tactics in serve-then-aggress part, receive-then-aggress part and rally part, trying to sum up their advantages and disadvantages with quantitative data, and to obtain their winning combinations in competitions, hoping to support scientific theoretical foundation to improve their professional skills. Conclusions are listed as follows:1Ma Long is a versatile player with professional skills. His scoring percentages of three parts are relatively high. The service placement of highest usage percentage is forehand court near-net ball. In the third stroke, Ma Long mostly uses offensive play, either topspin attack or backspin aggression. Drop shot is the commonest way to receive. In the fourth stroke topspin attack is mostly used. Scoring percentage of stepping around techniques in rally part is high, while of backhand is low.2Zhang Jike has evident advantages in receive-then-aggress part. The highest scoring percentage of service placement is interposition near-net ball. In the third stroke the scoring percentage of backspin aggression is relatively high. Pick-hitting and drop shot for receiving are often used. In the fourth stroke the scoring percentages of topspin attack and backspin aggression are high. In rally part the scoring percentages of both stepping around and mid-way techniques are higher than losing points rate, while in backhand much points are lost.3Li Xiaoxia has strong comprehensive strength with high scoring percentages of three parts. The mostly used service placement is backhand court near-net ball, while the scoring percentage of the service placement of forehand short court is high. In the third stroke Li mostly uses topspin attack or backspin aggression. Usage percentage of splitting long for receiving is high. In the fourth stroke, Li often uses topspin attack. Losing points rate of mid-way techniques in rally part needs reducing.4Liu Shiwen’s scoring percentages of three parts need raising. The mostly used service placement is midway near-net ball. In the third stroke, usage percentages of topspin attack and backspin aggression are relatively high. Controlling techniques are widely used to receive. In the fourth stroke, the usage percentage of topspin attack is highest, scoring percentage of which is nearly equal to losing points rate. Backhand is superior in rally part.
