You are talking about a different thing.
I am talking about those small sized little kids who cant even reach halfway into the table, with "over-hyped" promotions, that was the discussion.
Those curve left and right ball is easy to do lah. Even a simple bottom spin near the net with a reverse bounce will get those small sized kids in trouble. I am not talking about those bigger sized kids.
If you tell me star elte and pj union or any place that have any kids that can't even reach half-way into the table and tell me I cant deal with them ? you must be kidding. I dare to bet with you with everything I have. Not just me, in fact anyone who can play decent table tennis will dare to take up the challenge.
Whether that small kid train with chee feng or ma long or anyone else, makes no difference. He still cant play in real competitive game until he is tall enough, of cos sometimes we do see them in competition but whoever losses to them are mostly self-inflicted loss.
Again, I'm doubting the level of the kids you're using for your theory.I am talking about those small sized little kids who cant even reach halfway into the table, with "over-hyped" promotions, that was the discussion.

Probably the wrong type of video to share since these kids are considered the top but look at them 1st graders:
These kids are easily on par with any 13-15 year old state players in Malaysia and the shorter hair kid's head is just above the table.
And in terms of your comment on that a kid can't play in a real competitive game, in what terms are you talking about? Professional open categories? What's competitive in your context? These kids can be playing in for Malaysian Open as a state representative for under 12 but do you consider that as competitive?
And honestly, a short reverse spin to the table? Who are you, Ma Lin? Any under spin serve will still have the second bounce near the 3rd quarter end of the table and what makes you think they can't reach? Again, theory is there. But is it easily applied?
But let's say I'm talking out of context and you're talking about over hyped kids on YouTube. Ai Fukuhara was on Ellen's show when she was barely taller than the table and at that age, she was already racking up plenty of achievements. Look, I'm not saying ALL kids that goes on YouTube are good in an actual game as compared to training but again, I can tell you from experience that there are many very short kids that defied your theories and trashed many adults that have claimed themselves as decent players.
