World's Fastest Table Tennis Serve - Asuka Sakai Still Got the Moves!

[NextLevel]

I'm not so sure its less than 16cm. Definitely close, but not clearly less than if you look at the slow mo.

Yes, I agree and purposely meant dubious since it also isn't perfectly vertical, I don't mean clearly illegal. But again, it is all up to the umpire...

I wonder what's the speed difference between Asuka's and Anders' serves. Probably few milliseconds

 

[blahness]

Anders used it in a real match, so he is a bit cooler lol

I had the chance to meet Asuka Sakai in person finally, 14 years after seeing his phenomenal viral serve and subsequent Guinness World Record! It's just crazy, 15 meters per second, only fractionally slower than the blink of a human eye!

Hope you enjoy this little ace session I set up at the recent MLTT in Florida haha

TLDR; did you experience receiving the serve yourself?

I didn’t this time haha it was a bit rushed because I left it until after the last match and they were breaking everything down. I’ll try before the season is over 🤓
