Nice I hadn't thought of him

u know after watching all of Kreanga's matches from this years european top 12 tonight I'm almost inclined to change my mind haha, he just played like a machine!

I love kreanga's backhand so much! Definitely the killer's killing shot

When im playing for fun w/ my friends, i will scream "KREANGAAA!!" when unleashing a full-blooded-kreanga-style backhand loop

It doesn't mean the other killer shots aren't as effective though.. It depends mostly on the circumstances..
This is the other kill shots that i want to vote but sadly i can only vote for one :
1. Schlager's service --> Personally i love his service the most, but its not 100% kill shot. Mostly Schlager used it for 3rd ball attack setup.
2. Persson's swat --> Pure speed, pure awesomeness, cant really explain this unorthodox shot.
3. Waldner's drop shot --> Perfect touch at the perfect moment.

btw how about Waldner's bh block/punch? It is also legendary in its own right!

Timo Boll

DD For sure

Surprised that Wang Liqin's forehand is not on the list)) I would rate that as the greatest kill shot of all time - he won everything going with it.

Following that, I would rate Kreanga's backhand as second - its immense, having seen it first hand and close up

Matt Hetherington · Sep 28, 2011

true fair point

i was looking for kind of standout kill shots thought like technically unique point winners. WLQ's forehand is just a standard loop, granted it's a brilliant one tho!

I always wonder when I look at your username what the plk stands for. First thing that comes to mind every time I see it is Plo Koon

haha

I don't know.. Can't really pick from those, neither can I think of some shot from someone that stands out above other shots. Of course I like Maze's sidespin BH

But it's not much of a killer shot and he doesn't do it that often.

Michal_Z · Sep 28, 2011

I think there is something missing!
Yes, Kreangas backhand is the right choice! But he is not playing much lately so I have to pick another one, but its not in options..
and it is:

Ma Long´s forehand flick kill

Because you just see he is going to push the ball and suddenly smash!
That is something! That is really greatest killshot in todays table tennis

How many points he got with that?

How about Damien Eloi's sir

JustAlt · Sep 28, 2011

Ma lin's counterloop???
It's definately Ma Lin's forehand loopkill from the backhand corner after a backspin push by his opponent.

jedimasterplk · Sep 28, 2011

Ping Pong Pom - you certainly know your Star wars.....Im impressed!!! it is that Master Jedi Plo Koon... you are a jedi yourself to decipher my secret code lol

Matt Hetherington · Sep 29, 2011

haha

had a small obsession in my teens

Anders · Sep 29, 2011

how about Eloi's flick? It's not THE best, but surely in "there"

charlie_ucc · Sep 29, 2011

Ma Lin's forehand rules !!!!!
fast and precise !!!

UpSideDownCarl · Sep 30, 2011

Ma Long's forehand loop/3rd ball attack and Zhang Jike's backhand banana loop/3rd ball attack or attack of serve especially when he is deep on the forehand side: his opponent never seems to be able to gauge where he is going. Either shot usually simply ends the point.

Good point Carl.

I'd give it one or 2 years and I think Adrien Mattenet will have a dangerious backhand against the top guys. I think this weapon will get him very far!
