He's like if Xu Xin played J-pen. Excellent footwork, long limbs, etc. That TPB drive is so unique. I think he's the only J-pen player I've seen that utilizes it so frequently. I wonder what he's doing now.
I wonder if I've ever seen a player this fast. Kim Taek Soo, Ryu Seung Min and Wang Jian Jun spring to mind, but this guy.... Just look at the points starting at 2:55. How on earth does he get there in time to play forehand? Incredible. Thanks Top 8 for another gem, bringing the unsung icons of table tennis to the masses.
Kyaw Hsu Thway First and most importantly, learn how to switch from forehand to backhand grip very quickly. Then work on backhand smashes. Finally, work on adding spin to your backhand blocks. I assume you already know how to hit a pen forehand so it’s only a tiny ajustment from c pen forehand to j pen forehand
thanks a lot for the info Daniel. I am actually a shakehand player and I want to try out jpen because it requires more footwork. My question is how do you put spin on your backhand block with penhold? I have seen the penhold t.b.h smash but putting spin on blocks? I have very little idea.
Kyaw Hsu Thway the way you can put spin on backhand blocks is like this. To put topspin you can simply move your racket up while blocking the ball, I’ve also found that if you lightly do it, it puts a sort of knuckleball effect on it. Ryu Seung Min did a topspin block a lot. He would basically push the ball, but in the process move his bat upward to put topspin on. The way to put clockwise spin on the ball (from birds eye view it looks like clockwise motion) is since you are left handed, while in the process pull your racket to the forehand side but keep the same blocking form. The put counterclockwise spin on the ball, you would push the racket out to your right while blocking the ball. To put backspin on a block, push the racket down while blocking. Ryu Seung Min and Ma Lin are excellent at this so go study their backhand blocks and look at their motions when they do it!
Well, then all grip should’ve called Asian grip instead because Eu and America are just trash! :) especially Eu, invented so many sports but never good at one lmfao. What a poor continent always got beaten by Asia.
Korea had some really great Penholders in the past,
kim taek-soo!
Kim taeksoo, yoo namgyu, kim kitaik, ryu seungmin, lee jungwoo
Those were some golden j pen players for sure!
They had the best (if we're just talking one ply)
in the past
Love and respect for penholders in table tennis community is incredible

Play as much forehand as you possibly can.

이정우선수 대박이네요
Dope....amazing...wow

K-Pen would be a better name for this style!
I know! I was just kidding about the fact that the best J-Pen players are Korean! :)

@@phdogsht3199 Football?
K-Pen is a chinese style blade with Japanese style cork handle. Senkoh 5 (Nitchugo Super), Galaxy 986/987 are examples of Korean penhold blades.
@@phdogsht3199 holly shit dude, you are so toxic. Calm down
3:03 Footwork. !O_o!
