Quentin Robinot - Back Shot 2013

**TableTennisDaily** · 02-15-2013

We had to make a separate thread for this epic shot played today at the Kuwait Open 2013! Check out France's Quentin Robinot against Kiryl Barabanov. Both players are in shock for the first few seconds

This shot could well be a potential candidate for the 2013 Best shots of the year video

This back shot is unlike most others, as Quentin topspin's the ball from behind his back!

Enjoy.

I thought the exact same.. Very similar reaction. he thought he had one the point and then bam a back shot!

At 1.31 you can see your example

It featured in our best shots of 2011 video

**Pongfinity** · 02-15-2013

It's also so funny how the Belarus guy already shouts for winning the point but then realises Robinot got it back

D His reaction after the ball is awesome

**Darthray** · 02-15-2013

Down the line too, that's too much !! You gotta feel a little bad for the opponent when things like that happen :P

**YosuaYosan** · 02-15-2013

Puberty got to be the reason Robinot could do that down the line backshot!
Look at his rugged manly face!! and beard, never forget the BEARD!!

**Steven** · 02-15-2013

Haha perfect shot. His reaction is hilarious.

**Michal_Z** · 02-15-2013

The thing I love about this video mostly, is, that also Robinot thought he lost the point!
If you watch carefully, you will see it! He already (bodylanguage) gave up on that point, when he saw the counter-topspin down the line..
He definitelly didnt mean to bring that ball back on the table, he just wanted to hit the ball..
It took few seconds till he realised that the ball actually fell on the table and he won the point he already considered lost..
Then the real cute smile (and I am not gay, I just love to see people smile) and a real sport gesture from the Belarusian with clapping on a shot that shouldnt really happen, hehe

Maybe Quentin was inspired by my back shot for the TTD Trick Shot video

Only joking, I cannot get over how amazing Quentin's shot is. He doesnt even realise he done it I don't think!

Thanks. Good point.
