[PlasmaLight]

RH in enemy Barci Trikot: 1600 USATT max rating.

Opponent in yellow/black Trikot:1800-2000 USATT rating,maybe higher if I see him vs other opponents.

Sportsmanship of both of youis easily much higher than either of your playing levels. 2200 USATT.

Video production and original soundtrack is USATT 2400 top 100 level easily.

Enjoyable vid and hope you both post some more.

C'Mon everyone. Dan is owner of this site and has to be diplomatic. That is a skill I will train another 40 years at and FAIL.

Thats nice
You (assuming that you are the tall guy) play a teeny bit like Samsonov

 

[ttmonster]

I would advise the lefty to strengthen his back, he seems to be using Timo's style of shots and we all know it causes back problems after a while

 

[Bollforte94]

I am the lefti like Plasma said. Thanks for commentating. Not that easy to play against him, he has no killing shot nor a powerful topspin but some nasty strokes. I cut them out because they did not look very nice

no i have the advantage of being lefty

 

[azlan]

The other guy is so tall that the table was at his knee!!!

I don't think he is slow, he is tall and that makes him look slow. I'm also a bit tall (1,90m), and I look slow, but my reaction time is fast. Only my footwork is slow because of those damn long legs xd xd xd

 

[Bollforte94]

Good point rhonis. His size is not a advantage for Table Tennis, is it?

Yes, your loop seems to use a lot of arm rotation with little torso rotation combined with cocked elbow, similar to Timo and many European loopers but it could cause back problems (your shoulder which is connected to the back works the most)..
Thats one reason I am learning to loop ala chinese, my whole body works

Take care and stay fit man, your technique is awesome.

i'm not sure. You have a bigger reach and mostly when someone is tall his arms are also long. So if you use your arm as a lever you can generate massive amounts of spin and ofcourse speed. But when you have long arms your legs are most offen also long. This means it takes more time to move them. I'm tall and I think it is a disadvantage for the short fast game, but an advantage for powerfull long play (little bit from the table).

First of all I think at amateur level things look slower when you tape it , I am sure you would be surprised Plasma if you taped yourself. Also, I agree to the fact that people who are exceptionally tall look slower but they are aren't . Simple fact is because the have a longer reach they look slower than people with average height.

I was watching this yesterday, then i watched the latest documentary about deng yaping, zhayining and wang nan that uploaded by janus. Then I found there is something interesting between this two.

Because deng yaping is very short, so all kind of incoming ball to her is considered relatively high enough for her to attack. And in your video, due to your height, especially your friend, at the time he hit the ball, the ball looks like begin to drop down >.>
