I found another funny video, check it out:

Like?

What's the most random things you have played with except a regular equipment.. Or most weird conditions and items you have played with before ..

At my club we've had several tournaments, where anything but a bat was allowed. So everyone had to bring their own random equipment, like shoes, frying pans, score signs, spoons, etc.
Oh and I like that thing he made at the end of the video.

Haha what a video! I use to have that camera until it broke! ... I used that camera in the video where I played against Ma Lin hehe

Thanks for the find!

Fun. I have a friend who will love to see this. He usually plays with a block of wood, but he plays with a rock, a little paddle, a cell phone, a shoe. He switches from right to left hand back and forth for no apparent reason and nobody can tell, just from watching him, which hand is his natural one because he is so good on both sides. He has a video where he is playing with one of those giant exercise balls. But this is impressive stuff. This guy is excellent.

I had seen this one before ... probably because it comes up as related to the tips video of Fan ..... its simply ridiculous especially the nailcutter and the camera .....

Super!! I never in my wildest dream thought about these things. Simply amazing! The wierdest I ever played with is still a bat, but an old rotten TT bat..

We have played with basketballs and volleyballs ala foursquare. Don't try this on wimpy tables

I'm not sure if people who don't live in the Netherlands can watch this, but anyway...

Danny Heister (Former Dutch champion for many, many times and Düsseldorf's coach) was in a TV program this week. These guys wanted to know what's more important in sports these days -equipment or talent- so they let him play with various items. Intro (for the Dutchies) starts at 4:30, real playing starts at 6:55.

@Steven

I saw that, really funny haha. I think the 2 guys also started to play better by the end, what made Heister lose. Not just the material he used.

Aww that's too bad. There is a little preview on Youtube, where they are trying to return Heisters serves with a normal bat. Hopefully there will be more later.

After trying, the guy in green says 'I'm not that stupid...', then the guy in black says: 'But that's what it looks like'. Then when he tries he says: 'This is my body, but I feel like a robot and you (Heister) have the remote.'
