He is the most entertaining and explosively talented table tennis player I have ever seen! Even being more of a showboating player he has had a pretty good career- 1 olympic bronze,WTTC bronze,European champion.
For such a tall player he is very agile. His footwork combined with his length enables him to get to shots most others wouldn't be able to make. Combined with those backhand shots... holy crap! What I also found amazing was how many players found his high backhand topspin balls so difficult to finish. Very often they hit it JUST behind the net and after a few times of Maze returning it again somehow they just couldn't do it. Simply amazing.
Wow, just WOW! Believe it or not, I've actually heard people say that table tennis wasn't a sport, including a popular radio commentator in Phoenix. So many people have such small universes.
@@krecik317 yes they are more disciplined than you and is why you will never see them outside the top 3 at any given sport in the olympics,they arent robots ,they are better than you and me
anabolic stephen Well, trust me that if any other western country had 1 billion people to choose their athletes etc from they would dominate everything you mentioned
Good video, love when the audience gets into the point. I wish tennis would allow audiences to be audiences and cheer for people while they play instead of having to stay hush quiet.
He had terrible forehand/footwork technique that caused many injuries since his early 20's.Just look how much he twists his torso.He was very crafty with his shots but he lacked a sound technique biomechanics-wise.
What "lob" are you refering to, the brain lob or what....? If you mean a forehand (or a backhand) with an arc and heavy topspin...? That's called a loop.
6:11 - 6:36 The craziest thing is that after surviving MP on these two points, MM actually went on to win the match!

3:20 Holy shit, I didn´t know Ovtsharov could do that.
One word
AMAZEing
Maze is a legend, inspired me a lot when I was a kid!
я на нем учился
6:52 I need to learn how to do this.
flagella1337 called an cannonball loft, super tricky but with the right tap it’s doable
Is kind of hard
I think it’s called a fluke
50 years from now, machines would probably be able to do this.

Simply amazing.
Are you serious?His footwork just was terrible for a pro.He had good touch though.
What brutal side spin. Awesome
He is the main reason why I have become a great table tennis player
Simply aMazing sharp shooter ... naturally born then crafted to perfection !
He is a true legend 🤯🔥🔥
One of the most creative players
5:56 amazing
darsheal agarwalla wow
Why am I watching table tennis at 4am when I have school at 8
Ah, Maze... Amazing!
Great video. Thanks.

Great Video!
1 dislike is from Hao Shuai! :D
Ma Lin has taught him a lesson after beating Hao Shuai...
@@petertang3903 a hárd lesson
The crowd sounds like the crowd from wii sports.
1:02
Chinese niggas are robots what else do you expect?
krecik317 WTF 🤦♂️

Some will say Xu Xin was the king of lobbing, but this man was amazing on his prime
3:56
Really enjoyed the video thanks for posting
WOW! Fantastic skills!!!
HE'S BACK BABY!
Only one word amazing....
indra pithak aMAZEing
Can you do koki niwa
Thank you for a suggestion, I will do Koki Niwa tribute.
That first clip the ball is making such a nice noise
The king of defence maze!
Unbelievable!
AMZEING player indeed :)
OK, but 3:24 is Dima's sidespin and his point; and his bh hook-shot is even better than Maze'.
tubeist- dan you are wrong dima backhand was from whole arm and it should be from wrist
Not at all
F'n Slow Who cares what technique they used. It his technique works for him, that’s fine.
F'n Slow you should not use wrist in your backhand. The wrist should just follow the movement of the underarm
no one can copy his style!
I do things like this most of the time but I am a right hander
@@velekorunoski5997And not really good in comparison.
@@RalphHund what do you mean exactly?
Anybody else think Brad Pitt could play Maze if they ever made a movie about him? They look very alike!
Dima playing without the moaning is great. 😂
that is mad ting
Godly backhand
Lobs are quite common these days ... but Maze has amazing side spin.
2:05 snake shot !
RIP Michael Maze
Nice vid 😉
Du spillede sgu en gang underholdende bordtennis Maze -:)
amazing!!!
I do the same!!!! (A few leages lower;)
Wew tt videos look so prehistoric
Maze is/was a special player. I think he never quite reached his full potential for a variety of reasons.
0:15 double bounce
Sushil Shrestha it hit the net then the table.
Sushil Shrestha It was a net ball
I definitely heard it hit table twice
@@Metow677 No, the net produces a sound because they have mics directed at the table.
M. Salman good playing
Holy crap
Maze - Oh that's the weirdest matchup, so different styles.
He Come from denmark
0:14 no one saw this? wtf
Umbrella it was the net and then the table
@@carlsenkel1141 no it wasn't play it in slow motion
@@anishkrishanthan5036 you have probably never played table tennis if you think a ball going that fast can possibly land twice on the table
Ikr
Please do Ryu Seung Min :)
Hey, have you ever seen xu xin playing?
Good video, love when the audience gets into the point. I wish tennis would allow audiences to be audiences and cheer for people while they play instead of having to stay hush quiet.
He is Chen Wexing's best friend a.k.a The Angry Chopper
The Angry Lobber
This guy better than matt wii sports resort
wow
He is from Denmark!!!
Es marquitos di palma 🤯
did anybody else realize the ball bounced twice at 0:14?
I think he's the real show man! haha
2:03
He reminds me of Fabrice Santoro and Rafael Nadala in tennis.
Novak Djokovic has the same defence
Great winner. Hot temper!.
I am from denmark
God like reaction time!
What is lob?
Remind me of Randy Daytona
Did he became a world champion?
0:13 pardon me why did they play that double bounce ??
At 0:15 it was at the net then at the table 🤷♂️
0:16 2x bounce the ball he didnt know ampire fault
no it hit the net
Yup
メイスの本名ってミカエル・メイスですか？読み方教えてください
da wn デンマーク人の発音聴けばミヒェルの方が正しいと思いますが、Wikipediaに書いてあるバージョンは英語のマイケルですね。(^-^)
カタカナで書けば、正しい読み方はミカール・メイスだと思います。(私はデンマーク人です)
I miss the good ol 38mm ball cuz u can create out of this world spin😅
Maze runner
Sounds like bike glue, when was this match played/filmed?
Why are they dont play short
Hao shuai disappeared after defeated by Maze
amazeing ;)
suprb
anyone else noticed that the ball double hit Bolls side when Maze hit it ?
No
alcomix416 l Rocket league yep
i like MM
00:14 didn't the ball hit twice? 🤨
like adam bobrow style
When he gets really far away edgy not just hit it super soft and get him
I have never seen that kinda of shot
Hard rubber and hard blade plus hard control
Mega mega omg these guys won the Chinese I’m freakin out no I’m passing out help
My coach says I have a similar play style
What happen with him? Some injury ruin his carrier?
He had terrible forehand/footwork technique that caused many injuries since his early 20's.Just look how much he twists his torso.He was very crafty with his shots but he lacked a sound technique biomechanics-wise.
@@dickn.ormous1064 Good to know. Thanks for answer.

Why is almost every tt video filmed with a potato?
Please can you do niwa koki
Maze also could come back after losing 2 or 3 games.
maze is a"maze"ing ;)
maze has tattoos on his arm?!
Speed glue era?..
Ma Long laughs with Xhang JK
Where is my danish gang at
I cannot see the ball
