Take a look at the player profile attached.
The worst is the player style , it says right hand or left hand. That is not a playing "style" . Does anyone care much about that really ?
They should include things like two winged power looper, wide (stiff) pips block and smash, anti loop and block, slim (flex) pips chop-blocker, slim pips modern looper etc etc.

The winning % is Ok but not that usefu;l because a player playing WTT feeder could have a highwin % as the World #! players.

WTT could also include forehand and backhand rubber types and sell publishing rights the exact rubbers & blade names to manufacturer if it is OK with players.

Coach name
Current league / club

Why do they all pose with hands folded ?
They could come up with interesting variations

If they are going to keep updating World Ranking for the players in singles , they might as well show doubles & mixed doubles ratings
It is available fromm ITTF rankings site

They have the highest ever ratings for a player available as well, which they can show on this page

LOL
And there is no TableTennis racket in the hands of any of these players ?

It would definitely make sense to show their highest ever ranking in addition to current ranking.

As many of you know many amateur players quit or play less once they reach what they perceive as their highest rating
This is true with ratings like German TTR or USATT ratings etc
Of course it is different for amateurs and pros but just saying

There is a good reason for WTT not showing player playing styles
WTT & ITTF would love to have a homogenous playing style of two winged loopers
ITTF's version of table tennis too spin only

Adding other playing styles would confuse new players

ITTF & WTT would like to keep the sport clean & pure with minimal dirty playing styles such a choppers

There seems to be a new website at WTT
https://www.results.ittf.link/index.php
It contains partial details for some players

But the website is mostly incomplete and also has tons of errors

Table tennis is not the biggest sport there is and one may even say it is even a struggling sport in terms of recognition etc

So the best way to use player profile pages is to create human highlight compilation videos of players to be added to their profile pages
I know there could be copyright and permissions issues etc but they can be addressed

WTT does not have to do this
They can hold a competition for anyone to submit these videos and the top 3 videos every year will be declared at the annual banquet & cash prizes (and or other prizes provided by sponsors) also awarded to best videos
