Best backshot ever!?

[Dan]

Wow, this is one of the best shots I have ever seen! It was last set of Brazilian national team qualifying, it was 10-6 to Hugo Hoyama against Cazuo Matsumoto, 3-1 in sets. Match Point Hugo, spins the ball and thinks he has won the point as you see him celebrating until Cazuo strikes with a back shot!! Match played yesterday in Sao Paulo.

What do you think of this incredible shot! ?

Best back shot ever? I wouldn't mind losing the match if I pulled of a shot like this on film

Haha that's a cool point. It is interesting that those Brazilians seem play with penhold grip. Do most Brazilian players play penhold grip?

Wiwa, TT in Brazil is a tradition of the japanese comunity here. We have the biggest japanese colony after Japan!! Is very traditional the penholder style, but is changing. Now the shakehand grip is more popular, but almost everybody start to play ping-pong as penholder around here.

They're both Japanese. That's why they play Jpen.

[Camarão®]

They are brazilian, not japanese.
