    It's crazy how much spin JSH generates and how much speed he takes off those Ma Long smashes. Ma Long rips a shot as hard as humanly possible, and it comes back looking like it's in slow motion. Nutty.

      I played ping pong to a decent level, and it's not that hard to chip back the opponent attack. You just stood far from the table, the his shot would slow down by the time it gets to you. But the challenge is getting it back into the table time after time, because when you're that far, the table appears a lot smaller to you.

      I don't want to be that guy but if you understand physics, have an extensive background in ping pong, or a relatively decent level of critical thinking you'll see how it's actually not as difficult and impressive as you may think.
      What's impressive is how he can be so consistently accurate (from both sides). I always find back spin hits to be much easier to control in basically any sport.

    One of the greatest, if not the greatest, match in table tennis. The level of skill to play those rallies and at those speeds and distances/angles was simply breath-taking let alone the incredible huge spin generated throughout. All sports have their opposites eg in boxing it's the fighter v the boxer, in snooker the potter v the safety player, etc and this is table tennis's battle of the styles. Such a pity someone had to lose but that's competition. Ironic that the Korean guy was more effective when he started to attack (best form of defence as the saying goes). Reminds me when the roles reversed and Sugar Ray turned into the fighter and hunted down Tommy Hearns to win by TKO back in '81.

    Joo was like a snake at times, so flexible in the way his body could contort and absorb some of the pace. Also so versatile in placement and spins, very few balls were returned the same way. Add to that his ability to suddenly turn defense into offense if the opportunity presented itself, very capable topspin drives and mid distance topspin rallies.

    Joo Sae-Hyuk is one of my favorite players. Possibly the best defence player ever the world has seen. Among the TT players, who revel at hitting top spin forehand and back hand at breath taking speeds, here is a guy who revels in lifting everything back to the table with unmistakable resilience and that deadly chop. I like him partially because I played like him (during college 3 decades ago) chopping everything and eventually winning. Hats off to this world class defence player.

      That's probably the reason why nowadays we have a new type of defensive player, the modern defender, who plays with a defensive and an offensive rubber and alternates between attacking and defending. This modern defender can keep up with the heavy attacker since he has the advantage of varying spin.

    Ma Long's forehand is so unfair! It's crazy! He generates so much spin that it's practically dipping for his opponent's side of the table before he even hits it. It feels like he could hit it straight up at escape velocity and it would STILL find his opponent's table.
