商品描述

This book presents a cohesive exploration of table tennis through the Table Tennis Notation System (TTNS), a physics-grounded framework that encodes strokes, serves, tactics and entire rallies using binary codes and symbolic notation. It shows how complex ball-bat interactions, governed by mechanics, spin and energy transfer, can be captured with precision, enabling meaningful comparison of playing styles and revealing the underlying logic of the sport.

The text moves from the engineering of blades, rubbers and ball behaviour to the dynamics of rhythm, spin, speed and tactical interaction, before extending these ideas into coded representations of play. It then develops practical applications in coaching, training, performance analysis and artificial intelligence.

The result is an integrated framework that links mechanical execution to strategic intent, offering players, coaches, analysts and researchers a clear and systematic understanding of the game 's blend of power, touch, control, creativity and strategy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書透過「桌球記譜系統」(Table Tennis Notation System, TTNS),全面而有系統地探討桌球運動。TTNS 是一套以物理學為基礎的架構,利用二進位碼與符號記譜,編碼呈現擊球、發球、戰術以及完整的回合。書中說明如何精確捕捉由力學、旋轉與能量傳遞所支配的複雜球拍互動,進而比較不同的打法風格,並揭示這項運動背後的運作邏輯。

本書的內容從球拍底板、膠皮與球體行為的工程原理出發,延伸至節奏、旋轉、速度與戰術互動的動力學,接著將這些概念拓展為以編碼表示的擊球與比賽內容。最後,書中進一步探討其在教練指導、訓練、表現分析與人工智慧領域的實際應用。

本書最終建立了一套整合性的架構,將機械性擊球動作與策略意圖連結起來,為球員、教練、分析師與研究人員提供清晰且系統化的方式,以理解桌球運動中力量、手感、控制、創意與策略的綜合運用。
