This is CRAZYYYY!!! How did he do it?!?
I haven't seen anything like that before!

Thanks for sharing

 

[MIRLO]

just! wooooowwhahahaha

 

[RIPPER]

This is a pretty sick one cus je does it just off the floor, I've done a no bounce similar to this maybe a couple of times not as good tho, i think it is possible because it is where the ball must have reached its top of the bounce exzactly level with the top surface of the table, and as the ball is drooping it just rolls onto the table, the spin must be relatively important too because if it was backspin it would surely have to bounce a little whereas topspin would make it roll.

 

[Matt Hetherington]

Lol good one myles. Yea that's my theory too, would have to be at the absolute top of the bounce as it hit the table so the momentum of the top spin carried it forward across the table instead of downwards which would cause the ball to bounce. Some pretty incredible physics there!

I've never seen the shot done before this video, but I did see this video a while back, hehe.

It's just like a skid, only much more awesome!

i saw this shot a while ago as well the fat that he slides across the floor makes it epic

 

[GECA]

EPIC!

 

[markog99]

thats right.i did an around the net sidespin with no bounce once

 

[ixchoo]

why was the picture of wang liqin there?.

 

[TTOski]

It's not an impossible shot, but it's extremely hard to do it that way!!!!!

Lol, that would be fact I'm guessing. Don't want people sliding fat across the floor

 

[PandaMike]

Simply perfect amount of force. He hit it just hard enough that the peak of the trajectory was just above the table, therefore, no falling speed results in it rolling like it did on the table. Pretty cool and rare though!

 

[TTD Team Manager]

An impeccable example of how you should always fight for the point no matter what! Gr8 determination shown by the guy...Love It!

 

[zookato]

OMG! it's impeccable Dan

but i saw alot of this even i do it twice, also Sharath Kamal.. From India.

 

[lgreggs]

This is ridiculous haha!

 

[major]

That nearly happened to me in a local league match today, but i wasn't gonna let that happen

 

[YosuaYosan]

actually its not impossible, almost impossible maybe.
its still an epic shot anyway! one in a million
