+Top 8 TT Another fabulous compilation, thanks a lot. Your shot selection & edition are compelling and unique, with a keen eye for detail - and always top notch. Just feel free to make a "Part 2" with "updates", when you consider that you've already did videos about all of major players. I'm sure most around would be grateful if you do so. Again, thank you very much!

I think Koki Niwa is the smartest player in the game right now, it's a true pleasure to watch him because his ideas are so out of the box they just leave you (and the opponents) amazed.... plus he just looks so relaxed, unlike the other pros who always look super intense

@Sultan Sarsenbayev well BH flicks are not as fast as smash.... cant compare those 2. If niwa is in a good position for bh flick then im pretty sure he will go for that. In most of the scenario the ball was too deep on his bh or too close to his body making good stroke impossible. A plain block would be countered easily but that small addition of spin really screw up the ball trajectory...

i have never heard of this player or seen his style in table tennis. truly a master player. just a joy to watch. i can't play competitively anymore but he has given me some ideas. though i am naturally an attacker and can hit/loop from both wings i also can and do chop to mix things up and keep my opponents off guard. i will study hos play more and incorporate some of his stroke ideas in my repertoire. besides since my mobility is limited it will actually help me stay in a game or win it somewhat easier.

Some of these chop block then smash combos show a skill level that's off the planet. Particularly sweet when it's done to Dima. Effing ITTF - with a 38mm ball both Niwa and Matsudaira could have bagged a World Cup or two. And remember, both of them were World Junior Champions.

@FBR2169 3 жыл бұрын

Watching matsudaira play with 38mm is just magical. His blocks are just perfect especially against malin, xx and samsonov. I wonder why 40mm ball makes blocking less powerful...?

@daniel-oc6pp 6 жыл бұрын

Lots of people make different service movements after the toss. I copy many of my pre-service actions off of Dima and Fan Zhendong. I can not speak for Tristan Flore, but I find it helps me loosen up a bit and also helps me build up power for the serve itself. It is no good being stiff and rigid for the serve or the point thereafter. This appears to be purpose of Tristan Flore's serve motions which I imagine works quite well for that. I'm pretty sure he's not being 'stupid.'

The chop block (and sidespin block) have been around forever. It's similar in concept to a slice return in tennis, an unexpected change of pace shot to surprise the opponent into a weak return. I'm sure all the world top 100 players can do it, most just haven't practiced it to the point where it's comfortable in a high-level match.
