Yea it so is! I was actually sitting there when I did the poll wondering who I was actually going to pick once I'd done it haha

it shouldnt say "ma lins forehand COUNTERLOOP" it should say "Ma Lins loop-kill" cos when he loop the ball is sometimes spinny sometimes death and its realy difficult to return cos its very fast and precise

Guaranteed shoulder injury!

Such an incredibly powerful shot, you have to wonder how his shoulder copes with it!

WHAT!?!? maybe I don't understand the question well enough, but the greatest weapon in table tennis in my opinion is Wang Liqin's forehand definitely. In his prime, no one could deal with the all out power of WLQ's forehand.

Persson's backhand swat kills for sure!
When he got into the right position nobody could return them!

Wang Hao's Reverse Pengrip Backhand because it's amazing how much spin he can produce with on the table shots by dipping his wrist.

Waldners drop shot is quality! Makes people look like such idiots!

I believe Kreanga also used to be gymnast in Athens. I remember hearing it from a commentaries in the Killerspin Invitationals. It's pretty cool that he could incorporate his flexibility outside of table tennis into his backhand. I wish I could do something like that...

Good point, I did think about that when I was doing the poll but then didn't end up putting it in. Just a test to see who would mention it first and you won

Looks like Ma Lin and Waldner are head to head atm. Gotta love a good old classic, keep voting!!!

Charlie · Mar 18, 2011

perssons swat definetly

Matt Hetherington · Mar 20, 2011

Wel with 37 votes it looks like Ma Lin has been voted to have the best kill shot of all time with 7 votes. Closely behind on 6 are Waldner's drop shot, Persson's bhand swat and Kreanga's backhand. Maybe if we get to 100 votes it'll be official
