Not only was Schlager world champion, he used to move faster as well. I'm not saying he was ever really "fast" in the world class sense but if you watch videos of him in the late 90's he was much more mobile than he was in the 2000's.
If Schlager didn't take the ball far from the table, Schlager might have lost the match to Rosskopf. Rosskopf's game is close distance to mid distance.
Rosskopf has/had perhaps the best over the table backhand loop of anyone. I'd take his backhand loop over Kreanga's because while Kreanga's looks nice, Rosskopf's is just plain more effective. It's quick, surprising, great location and spin, almost always a kill shot.
@Opalance u cant win on pure offense game..jorg has no touch, and lets not forget he has no smart game is pure an offensive game..he will never top 10..
@kmml1972 You serious? Do you know how old he is? He's retired now and is going to be the German head coach. He's coaching the World team right now against China. He's 41, so yeah, his game isn't as good now as it once was. He won the bronze medal in the 96 olympics, world doubles champion, won the world cup and European championship, he played in the German Leagues for 24 years. HE ALREADY MADE THE TOP 10, HE MADE IT UP TO 4TH IN THE WORLD.

@kmml1972 He's an OFFENSIVE player. His defensive is re-looping the ball back harder.
