有证可考的是,弧圈球在五十年代末起源于日本。据乒乓球历史资料记载,中国人知道在正式比赛中有弧圈球技术运用是在1960年,也就是第26届世乒赛的前一年。中文的“弧圈球”与英文loop意思差不多,均是呈圆弧状的东西。可能对这一技术,中西方均是根据拉球后,球在空中运行的弧线形状命名的吧。 There is evidence that the arc circle ball originated in Japan in the late 1950s. According to historical records of ping-pong, the Chinese know that the use of lap ball in the official competition was in 1960, the year before the 26th World Table Tennis Championships. Chinese “circle ball” and the English loop meaning about the same, are arc-shaped things. Probably for this technique, both Chinese and Western are named after the arc shape that the ball runs in the air after pulling the ball.
