Hi
Ur coool
Hello!
Can u play foot pong?
@@tonjo575 hi
There’s the mic in Otto’s beard again.
The first person to mention the mic and Ot...to's beard always gets a heart-vote. :)
Jerret Ringler I
After all, he is the SENSEI
A Mic has grown in The beard of Otto 😂😂😂
yet he keeps shaving it off 🤔
@@12sett70 😂😂😂
The beard clipped onto the mic
TheCeilingFanCollectorHD the beard is sentient bro. The only reason it doesn’t move is cuz it likes imitating Otto
Indeed it has
One advantage of playing left-handed that wasn't mentioned is when it comes to receiving serves in doubles, a left-hander can position himself/herself to where it's somewhat easier to play an aggressive forehand return.
I got so hyped when Otto said being a lefty was a small advantage. FINALLY being weird helps me
It's an advantage more than you think. Being lefty in basketball helped me get more steals imo, because I'm like a mirror to the offense and I work better forcing them to their weak side which is my strong side for easier steals. In fighting sports left handed people (southpaws) are used to fighting right handed people, where both fighters' lead hands are on the same side, (imagine making a fighting pose in the mirror and you and the reflections front hand are on the same side) which is weird for regular fighters but more common for southpaws.
Overall left handed people are able to do most things right handed people can, because they're more or less forced to learn it on the right then reteach themselves on the left. Bottom line, Lefties rule.
This is actually pretty common in a lot of sports, being left handed helps cuz most people 90% of the time wld be used to playing vs right and not left handers
@@OrtegaSauce attacking closeouts is way easier for me as a lefty. Defense always needs a bit of time to adjust
me to
Like other said, it’s an advantage in a lot of sports. Even in bowling, which is pretty surprising
PLAY IN A COMPLETELY DARK ROOM WITH GLOWSTICKS
I have. it's called neon tt
we need this
Stolen
@@romandweh2089 what is wrong with sharing my opinion. I'll just post this on every vid do they can see it
I actually want them to play in a dark room with a neon ball. I've been asking for almost an year now.
"I know I'm quite funny but try to keep it together!" - Otto 😂
Why a lot of players, regardless of their nationality, say "CHO" or "CHO-LEEEE" after winning a great point ?
I am thirteen. I played a match against another town and my opponents mother was soooo annoying. I started screaming after every point, no matter how chep it was, to annoy her and give me some time to relax. Cho Le is Chinese and means, as far as I know, roughly the same as let's go or come on
As far as i know they copy a chinese player Ma Long(one of the best table tennis players).
He always used to say 'chole' after a he scored.
And then the trend started where every1 started shouting chole after almost every pnt
Thanks for the answers!
@@abswoof7357 long before ma long players used to yell cho le it's not that reason
@@Abdulbasit-alshafi3i ooh thanks man for clearing it.
Thanks! I was wondering about the different colors on the sides of the paddles. I played some in high school. 50 years ago, and I've taken up Ping Pong again, so there's a lot I don't know.
Sure we Want a part 2!!! ❤
This series is good keep making more these type of videos.
You answered all my doubts about ping pong .
Thank you pongfinity 👍👍
Let’s get Pongfinity 2M subs! #challengepongfinity
These were some great questions. Thanks for the answers! Also, I think it’s time I cop one of those hoodies.
Thank you for the information. Love you guys!
These are some good facts Pongfinity! Thanks😄
Thanks for the great videos!
What are the actual rules for the serve - they changed and there is so many myths, it would be great if you could clear it up, especially the small details (do you have to throw the ball up, does it have to be visible, where can you start, ...)?
Nobody:
Me: *watching ping-pong videos even though I haven't played it once in my life*
Love your vids man! Keep it up 👍🏻
Do a part 2 and 3 to this video!!!
Happy to see you Pongfinity guys Emil, Mikka and Otto again back to action.. you guys are absolutely fantastic and fabulous and want to do something different which really makes you guys special.. Emil brother in one video you showed your university... I am also a student of class 12 and I am pursuing the stream of Commerce and want to pursue Economics honours in the future.. Which subject are you pursuing a carrier in Emil?? Guys you along with your family stay safe and healthy and nevertheless I pray to god to keep you away from the clutches of disparities in life and you continue to deliver excellent in life... Table tennis is one of my favourite games and I really enjoy it playing
.... Otto, Mikka and Emil you three are absolutely incredible..... Looking forward to see your channel excalating and soaring higher and higher without any break... All the very best to you 😃🙏🤝
anish pani I love that!😄
You’re very nice and sweet! That’s probably one of the nicest message I’ve ever seen!
Otto's beard makes a perfect place for a microphone.
Your videos are so cool keep it up!
that was interesting video hope it comes part 2
I'd quite like to see you guys do some collaborations where you teach other TH-camrs to play table tennis. I'd love to see a doubles match with two of you guys pairing up with the Green Brothers. Or a video where you teach Twoset to play table tennis and they teach you to play violin!
lmao I was reading this comment and how did twoset suddenly pop up where did that come from😂😂😂
@@gideoncheung8731 hahahaha i thought that too, and plus they live in Australia
One’s in Scandinavia and the other’s in Australia. That would be really tricky.
@@christopherchan5245 you may have a point.
That’s a bit sacrilegious isn’t it? Jk
The other reason players wipe their hands on the table: It's a stalling tactic. They want more time to think about strategy, or to rest, so they stall by making it look like they're doing something legitimate so that the refs don't fault them. And it works. It buys them a couple more seconds between points.
It's also used as a way to upset the pace or mentally psych out your opponent.
We love your channel! You guys inspired us to make our last trick shot video!
More like this please!! 💪👌
My biggest question, what equipment do all three of you use currently? and what did Emil use before becoming a long pips chopper?
Question: What are the different advantages/disadvantages to the different ways to hold the racket?
the chinese grip is unnatural, in the way you holding the racket, and the angles you hit the ball. As for "the normal" standard way. You can utalize the mechanics of your arm/body better.
J Pen hold players can attack over the table easier getting the blade very close to the table surface taking the ball early but will usually have a harder time on the backhand side relying on footwork more. C pen gives more options but having more options can be more complicated. Shakehand is a good middle ground. Pistol grip adds more power but bigger playing elbow. Every style will have pros and cons and if a player is good enough at a certain style the cons become negligible.
I love this channel!!!
Can you please make a video about your each individual rackets, why you chose it and their pros/cons
0:23 brings back gamer memories
You should do expensive racket vs cheap racket
Can you make a video about the chop block skill. both the forehand and backhand,please!
please do more of this, my question is please explain for which level of player what kind of racket must be used i mean for each stage, beginner, inter and pro, whats the speed, control and spin level racket to be used
I have a few questions...
1. The meaning of "CHO-LEE" (and no one say "YESSSS!" after winning a point...)
2. Players always blow the hand/racket
3. Not much Penhold players nowadays
4. The Chinese domination for the past 20+ years
5. Pongfinity is so good
1. someone says it Cho means ball in Chinese as if shouting ‘good BALL’. Fan zen song once shouted yes. I think it’s a game between him and Pitchford
2. Sweat or to remove dust from racket
3. Backhand flick being more aggressive and dominating. Traditional pen hold only has forehand
4. Millions of people in China plays tt. And with their government supporting and electing potential players since youth. It’s quite obvious
5. They are once youth national team from Finland iirc
Yes the chinese government wants a lot people play table tennis to have one sport they have the best player in world
1. i just read that in chinese cho is short for good match. But a lot of people also say yesssss. It depends on the player
2. it is to cool the hand (sounds weird but works quite well) and to have luck just like you blow a coin for exampls.
3. the back hand as penholders is much more difficult to master. And the european way just became simply a standard
4. chinese are good in pretty mucb everything since they have a lot of people
5. i agree
(Just note i only played for 4 years or so so maybe some of this is not true)
5.Practice
I say "yes"
Why do you change shirts every set in a match of a tournament?
Probably because of sweat.
@@jakubkoj1 I saw that players believe tshirt can bring unluckiness and set was lost because of it =)
Thank you for these tips!
Pongfinity really did their research for this episode!!!
do you make rackets (buy a racket tire that fits you and stick it), or do you buy finished rackets?
No one good at table tennis buys pre-made rackets. Although some table tennis stores will glue them for you if you purchase all at once
The last time I was this early, well never.
Anyways good job pongfinity ur videos are epic!!
No entiendo el inglés mucho y sobretodo decir que disfruto mucho sus vídeos, sigan así
Nice idea to answer questions from the viewers pls more
Challenge post twice a week
Pongfinity where's Mikka
Haven't seen him since a while
I think Mikka is locked in another country.
I hope he isn't sick
We are all fine, thank you! This video was recorded before the outbreak of the virus.
Pongfinity so where is he ?
@@louisgilles8257 at his house
Great and informative!
That was an amazing video guys 👍👍👍
All other sports are going virtual right now, so I think it's time that you guys did as well. I'd recommend "Eleven Table Tennis" in virtual reality. I think you'll be impressed by the physics. =)
lol, the real world is where *life* is. 🤣
How difficult is it from your standpoint, to become a professional table tennis player? Nice video as always :)
*incredibly hard.* they start as little kids, training constantly with coaches after school, going to china/germany/france over summers to play at professional team centers or sports universities. lol, it's not something you can ever hope to do if you are over 18 and not already many years into.
Which rubber do you play with pls tell as I am also a TABLE TENNIS player and I need recommendation; pls tell
I need the part 2 :3
Challenge Pongfinity: Play Z-Pong with tennis rackets and a floorball ball
ps. ur the best
pps. äijjät on petoi pelaa pingist
Do you know the anime ''ping pong''? I love it
Omg I love u guys keep it up!!
4:03 Otto😂😂
Nice channel I saw the trickshots the're good and I liked
0:40 maybe you can make more
Do your next intro in a sauna
Thank you pongfinity. These are exactly most of our questions.
I got a new game it’s called table tennis squash. What you do is put one side of the table up while the other stays and what you do is chop the ball with back spin on the side that’s up and make it hit the side that is down. Hope you enjoy the game
For the pimples I’ve heard that they have a low win % that’s why most pros don’t really use them
3:26 onwards is that why Otto is better than Emil and Mikka or is just really good?🤔🤔🤔🤔
What do you think about trying to play with badminton racket on table for ping pong, with ping pong ball. You can do some trick shots.
Great q&a pongfinity. I think regular players who dont have sweat on their hands wipe their hands on the front corner of the table just to act like the pros.
Does the thickness of the racket affect playing
The thicker the racket, the faster it is(most of the time). An exception are long pimples as rubbers
Yes, the thicker the rubber, the "slower" the ball will be bouncing if you apply the same force, its physics thing, elasticity of materials; adding rubber will add spinning effect onto the ball, so i think the modern table table rules came up a standard thickness of rubber
Anyone else notice Otto had the mic in his beard🤣
Twister 792 I did. I mean, what else can the beard be used for lol.
I look al your videos!! It is perfect 👌🏽 👍🏻🤩💪💪
what equipment do you play with? which bats and rubbers?
You guys kept the mic in Otto's beard again
Are you allowed to trow the racket. eg. You cant reach so you throw the racket where the ball is going to be and score.
You're not allowed. The racket has to be held when you hit the ball. You can change hands or hit with both hands holding the racket, but you have to hold it when a shot it being taken.
@@mircumircu5773 thank you
Those bloopers at the end were gold LOL
Do another one of theseeee
Is it allowed to stand on the table during a point?
Are you making a joke or are you seriously asking a question?
Romeo it is allowed if you don’t move the table actually
@@Ok-fu5yi Incorrect. You are not supposed to touch the table with the hand
Sidarth Thalpur yes but the rule doesn’t include feet hahaha
I’ve got a challenge, do table tennis 🏓 with your racket but throwing it up all the time.
I’d like to see another video like this one
Part 2 plis now
3:20
Us:"Is being left handed an advantage?
Otto: It's not a real advantage,but usually *is easier to play against right handed players* .
That is the whole point, making it easier, that is exactly what we asked:"Is it easier"
THE PONGFİNİTY IS BEAUTİFUL
شكراً على الترجمة هذا ما كنّا نحتاجه كنت لا افهم بعض الأمور عمل المونتاج والترجمة جهد إضافي شكراً مرة أخرى
Hello, love the videos! What is the difference between red and black side on a normal racket, or is there none?
Pongfinity and others... if you’re reading this... you are beautiful
Thank ya buddy
Not so sure about that...🙃
So if they are not reading this, they are not beautiful?
Pongfinity what are Miikka and Otto's national Finnish rankings?
benjamin hine Miikka is the 4th and Otto is the 3rd.
@@bookisada Cheers man👍
1-Benedek
2-Alex naumi?
3-Otto
4-Miikka
5-Jani? idk
I like your vidéos! 😀 continue to do super videos!
Challenge:do padel trick shots
I think its a good idea
Paddle
Try to play as far away from the table as possible and break a world record
Can we toss the ball at our side while serving in tt
No. The rule is near-vertically, but professionals cheat a lot.
More videos pls I liked it
i started with long pimple rubber on my backhand due to the fact that my coach thinks that long pimples are easier to use and easier to teach. his mindset is that long pimples makes it easier to receive any serve
6 weird facts about ping pong
Miika: We have kids
Is it allowed if the racket hits the table while a match & makes a sound?
AFAIK it's not
Muhammad Aihab Abdullah it actually is allowed if you don’t move the table or cause damage.
Yes it is. Just watch how many players hit the table when they are receiving a service. Of course, hitting the table deliberately it's not allowed.
What blades and rubbers are you guys using? Thanks
what equipments are you guys using? and what do you recommend for an average player?
I dind't see anything posted on your Instagram account. Someone knows what might have happened
Maybe they are giving this time of videos because of this pandemic, corona virus, i don't no
Now i start playing left handed! xD
CreytaX I started that to beat my brother and now I’m a lefty in table tennis
