For years homogeneous racket using robotNazis have belittled , ridiculed and humiliated smart racket players by calling them junk racket players.
They also continue to refer to their homogeneous rackets as "normal" rackets & claim themselves to be "normal" players or "regular" racket user etc.
Such behavior is unintended & more subconscious beliefs due superiority complex that using a homogeneous racket inherently indicates that they are superior athletes among table tennis players.
Do you all have any opinions on this ?
Can homogeneous racket users be called abnormal players ?
Highly technical & extremely controversial topics. Not for the faint of heart

Re: Can homogeneous racket users be called abnormal players ?
Using dumb rackets is definitely abnormal in real table tennis but is more of an expected or demanded behavior is ITTF's version of top spin only OLympic table tennis.
Racket sports in general are forehand dominant due to biomechanics of human body
Tabletennis even more forehand dominant.
The irony is that tennis has recognized this more than 50 years ago and moved on to two handed backhand to compensate for the inherent weakness of backhand , especially backhand top spin.
Sadly IOC & ITTF have been pushing for top spin only table tennis , brainwashing players that using dumb rackets and playing top spin only table tennis (and not all spins table tennis) is the only normal way to play table tennis while clearly the opposite is true.
90% of table tennis players cannot deliver consistent powerful backhand loops ( top spins ) yet they live in the fantasyland of Ma Long & Fan Zhendong.
Even more sad is the fact that they may actually be better at other playing styles of tabletennis such as blocking or chopping or chop-blocking etc.
But the robotNazi controlled ITTF does not want any part of that and wants the clueless newbies suffer using dumb rackets
