Very true, almost like a gymnast

By the way, welcome to the site pqanh1201

Well they train in their Olympic factory with their gymnasts and since flexibility is a huge factor in their training it's not all too surprising that he can bend that far back. I mean I've seen Wang Liqin and Ma Lin both do Splits to get low enough for a shot so I don't find this all that surprising. It is still cool to see however. That pic is pretty epic.

Thats surely not as far back as he can bend but getting up from that position the way he did takes some serious leg strenght. Pretty amazing, go Xu Xin!

It might take leg strength but it takes more core strength than leg strength the way he came up fairly slowly. It shows a lot of control.

Very true, they do a lot of flexibility training in order to produce good shots from non-standard positions. Xu Xin is the most obvious example of that.

ZHANG JIKE'S legs can do it better maybe Jike would do a high jump out of that stance

Very true guys, also notice how he hardly uses any of his arms to push for momentum. All his weight is shifted back to. Its seriously good stuff!

Try to do it without proper care could leave your body broken haha

Yeah the leg strength of many of the Chinese players are out of this world. In particular I still remember one particular point during the world team championships with China vs Germany, and Wang Liqin was playing Boll, and in one particular point, Boll and WLQ back 15 feet from the table, and in the process of getting hits back, WLQ was squatting to the grown with out leg extended out, almost like a half split in order to loop a ball back, and he was able to impart enough spin and power into that loop back that Boll hit it into the net. That kind of leg strength and endurance is amazing, and one of the reasons that really set the Chinese players apart. There overall leg strength, quick footwork and balance is amazing. Just notice how Boll, despite being the best non Chinese player, seems to fall over in some of his all out loops.
