Xu Xin tests product development

[Dan]

STIGA star Xu Xin visited the STIGA head office in Sweden in October 2011 for photoshooting and product development. This is a clip from behind the scenes.

He did the switch again at 0:20.

Yeah I noticed that

I wonder what he is doing on his ipad ha... TableTennisDaily? hehe

 

[Mr. RicharD]

It's funny because when you look at him and Ma Long I feel that they play with the same mentality that Timo plays with. They really like to have fun when they play and it shows.

the moment 0:06 to 0:10 just shows a typical Xu Xin, like what his other coaches talk about, he will begin to slack once you take your eye away from him lmao

xu xin is the most playful out of all the players.. i mean, maybe cuz of his age, a little bit childish.. he's the funniest also haha. i remember watching his reportage haha

 

[dici]

Oh yea, his reportage is one of my favorite. It just too unique when compare to other CNT player. You can see that Ma Long got affected by Xu Xin in Ma Long's reportage, in the very first few seconds.

True ToT he is so playful and the most un-serious, slackey player in the greatest table tennis team in the world lol

Yeah this is true. I think they need someone like Xu Xin on the Chinese National team to not make things to intense all the time. As we seen in photo by Xu Xin holding the TableTennisDaily leaflet He ripped it in half as he saw Ma Long on it... That is pretty clever, he thought of doing that not me ha!

yeah i feel this way, too. ma long, xu xin and timo boll are somehow equal. they have fun doing other stuff and doing interviews. ma long is the only one, who enjoys interviews and having a smile on his face

Ma Long even smiles when he is sad When he talks about his mental problems in the documentary, he looks pretty happy as well haha.

Signing up Xu Xin by Stiga was indeed a sly move. Business wise I think it's a cunning one. Xu Xin is young, more relaxed than other Chinese players, he's up to date, approachable and above all, still developing. He is yet to find he's natural game and when he does, Stiga will be there to reap all the fortune. Also, Stiga is clever to get a Cpen (DHS dominates the market) player under their wing since at the present moment most european brands are concentrating more on the development of handshake blades.
