Based on the five elements of table tennis competition, combined with the
theory of connection technique, a psychological effect and a physiological law, this
paper analyzes the core technology and non core technology, tactics, psychology of
table tennis players before and after the reform of 40 + plastic ball by ITTF, as well
as the development of each period of table tennis. The results show that: technical
elements and tactical elements are not integrated in the core technology and non core
technology for a long time, which leads to the phenomenon that the technical and
tactical structure is super strong, but the tactics are not good. The research shows that
the ball light technology plays a very important role in the era of small ball (38 mm).
The powerful lethality makes the loop drive ball technology unique, so that the tactical
application is far from being played, and the survival space of the particle playing is
eliminated. The development of table tennis competitive sports has deviated from
the right track. Conclusion: the reform of ITTF 40 + ABS plastic ball is a “great error
correction” in essence, which makes the technology and tactics balanced and the pellet
playing method return to a healthy direction.
