翼虎派何倚天2025 回顾与展望 TigerWing Eli Ho: 2025 Review and Outlook
写这一篇年终回顾与展望的主要目的是通过系统记录、反思过去一年的成就与不足,帮助TigerWing Eli Ho明确未来方向,并激发持续成长动力。
前言
何倚天Eli Ho,今年13岁,是一位冉冉升起的新西兰乒乓球新星,今年9月夺得新西兰公开锦标赛成年组男子单打桂冠,成为该赛事历史上最年轻的男单冠军。他在国际乒联2024世界希望挑战赛夺冠之后,在2025年这一年中,在国际乒联大洋洲青年锦标赛、世界青年锦标赛和WTT世界乒乓球职业大联盟赛中都取得了显著成就,不仅刷新了新西兰和大洋洲的纪录,也使他成为全球乒乓球舞台上一位杰出的年轻球员。
何倚天Eli Ho以其极具创新性、独特TigerWing“翼虎”打法而闻名,这种打法由他的父亲兼总教练何宗阳John Ho 自 2018 年底设计、开发和推广,旨在最大限度地创造欺敌诡计和进攻机会。Tiger Wing 翼虎风格融合了直拍和横拍的元素、灵活的胶皮配置、反手灵活性、长颗粒胶皮的策略、使用 “三面”或“四面”进攻、战术不可预测性和对现代乒乓球的创新方法为特征。
本质上,翼虎风格和握拍方式极具创新性和独特性— 常规的正手反胶、反手长胶,但是还具备有反手反胶“反手横拍”(RSB),常常在比赛开始时就给对手造成困扰。这位独特的新风格(翼虎横拍技术风格)球员不仅是一位双翼弧圈球高手,而且在反手端还有一面长胶怪胶。他使用特注日式阴阳直拍,并以改良的横拍握拍方式灵活运用反胶和长胶,反手打法类似, 更胜过西米勒(Seemiller),随意自由地更换反胶和长胶, 并且可以展现高质量的球技。
2025 回顾
2025 年对何倚天Eli Ho 来说是一个真正“爆发年”,在新西兰和国际青少年赛场上都迈上了新台阶。他的2025年终世界青少年排名从2024年的743上升到2025年的441。(由于一些因素,他今年只参加一站WTT赛事)。他尚未有世界男子排名。何倚天Eli Ho 的2025 年终新西兰男子年度排名(国际+国内)从2024年的第5上升到2025年的第2。他的2025年终新西兰男子排名(Merit Lists – 国内成人)和(Ranking Lists – 国内成人+国内青少年)都是第1。

TigerWing Eli Ho: 2025 Review and Outlook
This year-end review and outlook aims to systematically document and reflect on the past year’s achievements and areas for growth. It helps Eli Ho, of the TigerWing School, clarify his path forward while fueling ongoing motivation for development.
Introduction
Eli Ho, a 13-year-old rising star in New Zealand table tennis, claimed the men’s singles title at the New Zealand Open in September, becoming the youngest champion in the event’s history. Building on his 2024 win at the ITTF World Hopes Challenge, Eli delivered standout results in 2025 across the ITTF Oceania Youth Championships, World Youth Championships, and a WTT youth event. These feats not only shattered records for New Zealand and Oceania but positioned him as a standout talent on the global stage.
Eli’s signature style is the innovative TigerWing technique, designed, developed, and promoted by his father and head coach, John Ho, since late 2018. It maximizes deception and attacking opportunities by blending penhold and shakehand elements, flexible rubber setups, backhand versatility, long pips strategy, “three-sided” or “four-sided” attacks, unpredictable tactics, and fresh approaches to modern table tennis.
At its core, TigerWing’s grip and style stand out for their originality: a standard forehand smooth rubber paired with long pips on the backhand, plus a shakehand backhand (RSB) option that often throws opponents off right from the start. As a player of this unique TigerWing shakehand style, Eli excels at double-wing loop drives while wielding long pips as a disruptive force on the backhand. He uses a custom Japanese yin-yang penhold blade with a modified shakehand grip, seamlessly switching rubbers—surpassing even the Seemiller grip in freedom—and delivering top-tier shot quality.
2025 Review
2025 marked a breakout year for Eli Ho, elevating his game in both New Zealand and international youth circuits. His year-end world youth ranking climbed from 743 in 2024 to 441 in 2025 (despite competing in just one WTT event due to scheduling factors). He has no world men’s ranking yet.
Eli Ho’s 2025 year-end New Zealand Men’s Annual Ranking (International + Domestic) rose from 5th in 2024 to 2nd in 2025. He is ranked 1st in both the 2025 year-end New Zealand Men’s Ranking (Merit Lists – Domestic Adult) and (Ranking Lists – Domestic Adult + Domestic Youth).
Key New Zealand Achievements and Records in 2025
- April: Won U15 singles at the South Island Open and New Zealand U15 National Team Selection Championships; third in U19.
- May: Claimed men’s singles title at the Auckland North Shore Open.
- July: Took Men’s Singles at the North Island Open adults division.
- August: Runner-up in Men’s Singles at the TTNZ Top 8 Championships.
- September: Men’s Singles Champion at the New Zealand Open—Eli, at just 13, won the title in Auckland, etching his name as the youngest ever. In the final, he outlasted 17-year-old Timothy Choi 4-3 in a seven-game thriller, displaying mature composure and clutch play. His dominance earned him Auckland Table Tennis Association’s “2025 Player of the Year” award in November.
Major International Honors, Results, and ITTF Exposure in 2025
- November 2024 (impact carried into 2025): Gold in boy’s singles at the ITTF World Hopes Challenge in Paraguay, the first for any Oceania player.
- March 2025: Selected for ITTF’s “With The Future In Mind” (WFIM) scholarship. TigerWing’s novel grip and techniques caught the eye of ITTF officials—Sports Development Director Michael Andersen praised it in his March 19 article “Garden of Eden.”
- April: Double gold in U13 and U15 Boys’ Singles at the WTT Youth Contender San Francisco II, a first for a New Zealander.
- June: U15 Boys’ team gold, Boys’ Doubles gold, Boys’ Singles silver, and Mixed Doubles bronze at the Oceania Youth Championships.
- July: Featured in ITTF’s Swaythling Magazine(July 2025 issue, pp. 35-37), spotlighting Eli and TigerWing’s story.
- November: At the ITTF World Youth Championships, the 13-year-old Eli was New Zealand’s U15 rep—the youngest of 32 players. He faced Chinese Taipei’s top seed Chen Kaicheng (from the U15 team champs) in R32, leading 1-0 and 2-1 before falling 2-4. Though the result was tough, ITTF media and social channels highlighted TigerWing with dedicated clips, showcasing its grip and tactical flair. Official posts shared Eli’s forehand smashes on high balls followed by straight-line kills, signaling growing international buzz around this prodigy.
Technical Edge and TigerWing Style
Eli employs his father John Ho’s pioneering “TigerWing three- or four-sided attack” system—a hybrid grip merging shakehand and penhold traits. It prioritizes grip flexibility, dual-rubber setups (smooth forehand + long pips backhand), and RSB core tech, enabling relentless forehand-backhand attacks, long pips control, rhythmic disruption, and mental pressure. The team’s training hubs in Taiwan and New Zealand will refine rubber combos and fitness to boost stability for senior-level intensity without losing uniqueness.
His game thrives on dual-wing power, rapid transitions, and long pips for spin/placement chaos—standing out amid New Zealand’s traditional grips and earning him a distinct youth-level identity. Eli’s project-based training started with basics under his dad’s guidance from age 6, shifting fully to TigerWing. He relocated to Auckland in September 2022 for elite sparring and plans long-term training in Tainan, Taiwan, from December 2025. ITTF recognition validates TigerWing; future plans include AI analysis to evolve RSB into a mainstream backhand, fostering table tennis diversity.
Over the next two years, Eli will focus on stabilizing and diversifying his youth strengths for senior play—honing details, smooth rubber switches, and rhythm shifts to amplify unpredictability in high-stakes events. Challenges like opponents decoding variations demand constant innovation.
Development Outlook and Prospects
TigerWing’s promise lies in bridging youth success to senior dominance. Eli’s New Zealand Open men’s title at 13, paired with world youth showings, marks his leap from local talent to national top seed and international contender. In 2026, expect top-four WTT youth finishes, senior qualifier pushes, repeated Oceania U15 team/individual success, and stronger World Youth results—potentially eyeing the Oceania Senior Championships and World Men’s Team Championships in London.
As a core New Zealand youth national team member with Olympic aspirations, Eli embodies TigerWing’s innovative edge and results potential. He’ll deepen tech evolution and global visibility in 2026, dominating youth tiers while transitioning to seniors. Positioned as an all-court, deceptive hybrid style, TigerWing is poised to carve an independent school in global table tennis through sustained training and competition proof.
