@@PongfinityPlus Yeah, and when he's talking about the others being faster and stronger, i recall a "recent" video where Simon Gauzy explained he had to go for a hybrid blade instead of the wood one he used before (has more control) because he just couldn't strike fast enough to gain a point when attacking, he needed a faster blade.
He has a world class smash backhand arguably as good as anyone (or as hard as anyone), but pros don't really develop that because they're more mobile and hit forehands on those setups.
@@cwolf208 some pros do develop it, Darko Jorgic and Noshad are top players with games revolving around BH loop killso it depends on playstyle and tactics. But in most points despite not being able to deal with the BH kill itself the pro players can prevent Otto from getting first attack with better serves and short game, but as anders was saying if he does get the chance no one is dealing with it, it's all about preventing
If we minus the points, we get 11-5 = 6 and it must have been 7 sets so (not exactly) we calculate the avg is 42 points difference. He is WR 32 so Otto is WR 74 Ps: this is a joke don’t take it seriously
@@srkstik__ A lot of good players don't get recognized in the world rankings because they don't get a chance to play internationally. Like the hundreds of Chinese players that don't have a world ranking but are easily on the same level as many European players.
That would be actually moving up the rankings, but I feel Calderano would be very entertaining doing challenges with you all. He's known for doing a lot of different stuff.
You guys trying to receive Anders's serve reminded me of the public serve challenges u guys did 😂😂, but after watching the hand switch shot, I was left absolutely speechless. You guys should've challenged him with his wrong hand 😂😄
There’s levels to this game! Anders was messing around did that! Imagine if he was being competitive. Otto’s backhand is to die for, absolutely stunning!
As you are already in Germany, you should challenge Hartmut Lohse. He is the champion of northern germany, yet not playing in WTT or any international leagues. He is the best player I know in person.
I really appreciate the little insight Anders gives regarding the current top level meta and how they've tried to develop counterplay as European players vs. the dominant Asian players
You should start with a 7-0 lead to give a bit more suspense. Adam does it when he plays against pros. Very great video🔥 Very entertaining as usual with you guys and also very interesting. And the acknowledgment of Otto’s BH by a world class player is crazy 🤩
@@TTMatthew Disagree, it puts pressure on the pro and gives confidence to the underdog, so the points are not only serve - receive - killer top spin opening.
The easy way the top players take those balls is mind blowing. Looks like it's no effort to anticipate on balls where an average player will make faults. They just bring it back with no effort. And you guys are way better then i will ever be 😂
very good video but please could you explain me the ball's action difference between this serve 0:33 (side/topspin serve) and the one at 1:10 (back spin serve) except from the fake high toss could u explain my the gestures' differences between those 2 thanks a lot
Well done otto... I knew you will definitely score few points .... Even mika could also have but he seemed to be under pressure... Otto always looks relaxed... That helps !!!
Adam Bobrow tried to win a single point vs Timo Boll and only after 0-32 Timo let him score his first point. So myb you guys try to win a set vs Timo next? ;)
Otto has more potential and I hope that he will show us one day .Very well mannered guest ..Well done everyone Is not about winning just playing better and have fun
Yeah, no more long pips 😅It was a fun experiment and I think it did motivate me to start playing more frequently for a while (which was the main purpose for me to try it), but the reality is that reaching even a decent level with a completely new playing style is very tough and would require *a lot* of practice. After stopping playing competitively 10 years ago it also feels like it's really hard to find the motivation to practise frequently because you know that you won't achieve even the same (not to mention a desirable higher) level as you have had before when you were practising every single day. But as you can see in this video as well, with no practice (last training session was 6 months before this video) it doesn't really matter which playing style you play, you'll still be completely out of the game and lose 11-0 or potentially get a few lucky points against a pro player 😄But still it was fun for me also to play this set and I think the whole video shows really well how good pro players truly are! :) // Emil

How far down the ranking list do you think we have to go until we manage to win a set? 😄
top 250 for miikka, top 200 for otto and top 350-400 for emil
I'll guess 125, I have hope in Otto 😉
Go for Wang Chuqin, he will lose with anyone nowadays
Play the world no.1 before he finds his true potential and you’ll have a chance
Didn't Otto get a couple sets off Benedeck Olah? He's top 100.
EDIT: I looked it up, Otto took him to the 7th a couple years ago.
Amazing guys. Thanks for having me. Otto's backhand is crazy🤣🤩
legend
thank you anderslind but can u beat wang chuqin
@@ashutoshjindal9172 I think he did recently, yes.

hahaha niceeeee. I will be using this joke myself for the rest of my life :D
@@AnderslindTT You are welcome :) Good luck at the tournaments, we are rooting for you :)
Or Anderschnitt if you prefer 😅
"WR 10 does to me what I did to you".
he says that and then just beats WR 1
did he mean lin shidong by that?
@@lucabay8223 I think so
he says that but beats multiple players inside top 10
in a no presurre situation ,tt is about mindgames
It is a really good video demonstrating the gap between pro players. Thx!

Otto's bh is so violent, he must be one of the hardest bh hitters playing TT right now
his compatriot benedek olah has a quit good one too

5 points against Anders shows how good Otto is.😮

This is great, much better than the viewer challenges, I'd love to see more quality gameplay
Will get boring real soon
6:36 Typycall "Don't give me there" moment :)
That would be actually moving up the rankings, but I feel Calderano would be very entertaining doing challenges with you all. He's known for doing a lot of different stuff.
Yep, we'll try to make that happen some time!
7:09 such an epic "Don't give me there" moment
Love this! Especially when Lind's explains his serve strategy.
"Undershnit" and "Appfelschule" made my Day😂 Greetings from Germany, ty for that upload😅
That was epic! So nice to see Anders Lind here and it seems like a regular on your channel! More please!
You guys trying to receive Anders's serve reminded me of the public serve challenges u guys did 😂😂, but after watching the hand switch shot, I was left absolutely speechless. You guys should've challenged him with his wrong hand 😂😄
As a german i laughed my ass off at „underschnitt“ 😂😂😂😂
And Apfelschule (apple school) :D
What does underschnitt mean?
@@leob4403 literally "underspin" (actual german is Unterschnitt), so backspin or downspin, depending on what you call it
@@Skily7777 okey so is that why Mikka couldn't return it
@@leob4403 Yeah, exactly! :) He either misread the spin or at least underestimated it, which made him hit it into the net
This is exactly the kind of videos you should do on your main channel.
Anders is one of the most entertaining table tennis players in the circuit today. It's fun to see his videos.
Anders Lind is probably the player I admire the most right now. Amazing comeback after severe injuries, and now back at the absolut top again.
7:59 was it before beating world n1?
After, but he's exaggerating quite a lot there.
I littery thought it was that you had to get 11 points together xD
We would have still failed :D
@@PongfinityPlus hahaha well yeeee I know that's why I thought that was the challenge :'D You trying to get 4 points each
@@PongfinityPlus This actually would be pretty cool game concept
What a great guy Anders, great video

Hartmut Lohser you mean
I love the videos where it shows the difference when pro's give their all....its so fascinating
2:09 "I saw appfelschule" 😂
Otto's backhand is just too good
Nice play from Mikka and Otto.
I really appreciate the little insight Anders gives regarding the current top level meta and how they've tried to develop counterplay as European players vs. the dominant Asian players
1:48 you guys laughing so hard, really good friends of Miikka I guess..
Thank you guys for sharing such fun!
Otto is in very good shape, great rallies!
After emil said they’d try to play world no 10.
Anders said “world no 10 does to me what I did to you”😂😂
Pongfinity: World Rank 32
Me: Wait... Anders Lind?
Otto definitely other level. Great video! ❤
Otto’s backhand is insane.
Great content, glad Otto showed his might
Imagine how it was, when in his prime, to receive Ma Lin's serve :) Unmatched yet in the world of table tennis.
I got actual chills seeing how good Otto is against a top pro. His backhand is very good, but I didnt know that it is world class
Otto's backhand is actually insane
Very coool, good luck guys 🎉!
with all the fun videos, the pongfinity can play rlly well
Yeah I think that fake high toss might just end up in my game now lol
the good old "unterschnitt" is just pure pain after you realized :D
What does it mean
You should start with a 7-0 lead to give a bit more suspense. Adam does it when he plays against pros.
Very great video🔥 Very entertaining as usual with you guys and also very interesting. And the acknowledgment of Otto’s BH by a world class player is crazy 🤩
Handicaps just make for boring games. If you win it's a cheap win, if you lose it's still boring.
@@TTMatthew so 11 to 1 is more fun?? please.
@@TTMatthew Disagree, it puts pressure on the pro and gives confidence to the underdog, so the points are not only serve - receive - killer top spin opening.
@@TTMatthew disagree, hes just messing around in this video. It would be more competitive.
@@oscaralegre3683yes, it is more fun. Sometimes, it’s just satisfying to see a player ripping the opponent a new one.
Otto's backhand also know as the "dont give me there"
the big guy is a monster
Otto is goated
Unbelievable hand quality
The player gap is something even local league players dont fully understand let alone non players
The easy way the top players take those balls is mind blowing. Looks like it's no effort to anticipate on balls where an average player will make faults. They just bring it back with no effort. And you guys are way better then i will ever be 😂

If Otto works on his footwork, we're gonna see some interesting stuff from him!
Amazing video!!! try to set the camera steady and a little bit high. I found hard to follow with that much movement on the camera :*
Well done otto... I knew you will definitely score few points .... Even mika could also have but he seemed to be under pressure... Otto always looks relaxed... That helps !!!
Challenge: Play ping-pong with lego plates on the table!
Does anyone know the racket setup of Miikka and the other pongfinity guys? Thanks for the answers!
Emil is like seeing the TT racket the first time in a whole life)))
Agreed 😂 it actually really was the first time playing in 6 months 😂
Otto made me clap for his points in front of my monitor. :D Amazing
Hey guyz, when are you dropping the next episode of this series???
Edit: After Antons one.
Ander's serves are insane!
There are probably few in the world who is better than Otto in certain Don't Give Me There situations. Impressive!
The worst part about this video, is that it ends
I feel like you guys should see if your combined points can take a set off a pro!
"world rank 10 does to me what i did to you" scary strong players on the top there.
Great video please do more :)
Excellent video
The Cool thing is that he knows the word Unterschnitt😂
Table tennis is amazing
What does undershnit mean in Germain? (possible misspelling)
It means backspin and is spelled Unterschnitt
@ thanks! I figured the captions had it spelled wrong. And makes sense he’d say that because Mika couldn’t return his heavy backspin serve.
pros are on another level. crazy how Lind open that heavy backspin balls with a forward swing like if he is attacking a normal ball
Adam Bobrow tried to win a single point vs Timo Boll and only after 0-32 Timo let him score his first point. So myb you guys try to win a set vs Timo next? ;)
Otto has more potential and I hope that he will show us one day .Very well mannered guest ..Well done everyone
Is not about winning just playing better and have fun
Unterschnitt 😂 hahah einf unterschnitt
Isnt the ball supposed to fall 20 cm before you hit it for the serve?
new challenge: 1 v 1, 2 rackets each player and playing like a double, just switching hands instead!
Interesting to see!
UNTERSCHNITT.... ich darf doch bitten :D
Great vid, ill go work on my unterschnitt now ...
great concept, good content.❤ only problem is that the ball is barely visible cause the wall is bright😢
Excellent!
Otto is a GIGA Chad
I am a huge fan of pongfinity, from Brazil. Could you make a video with Hugo Calderano, please?
Amazing video, but the funny thing is that against World No. 17, Mikka did better than against Anders, World No. 32!
Anders recently beat world nr 1 convincingly.
@ Ooh, got it!
I think you need to invite Adam Bobrov one day, it will be legendary
I think a match against Simon Gauzy would be interesting, not saying you'd beat him but it would be fun to watch
Crazyy backhands from Otto
I think that so interesting video i want more please . We can compare pro players from semi pro
I liked Mikka's idea of combined pongfinity points, would still be 11-8 😅
There’s a pressure between the players
Play against Truls from Sweden!
I think going against the biggest talent of table tennis the lebrun brothers or lin shidong would be intresting
Very good game! But I had a hard time seeing where's the ball during the game.
No shade to Otto, but I honestly did not envision him doing this well. I always thought he was good, but not that good. Truly impressive.
Is Emil no long playing pips?
I was wandering the same
Yeah, no more long pips 😅It was a fun experiment and I think it did motivate me to start playing more frequently for a while (which was the main purpose for me to try it), but the reality is that reaching even a decent level with a completely new playing style is very tough and would require *a lot* of practice.

Anders has variation on hitting. Chop and then hit
6:38 Don't give me there!!
7:08 Or there!!!
As a Brazilian, I hate the fact that a German player lost 1 point against Emil when he was winning by 7 points...
