The Battle of Backhands: Exploring Chinese vs. European Techniques | Ft. Fan Zhendong, Timo Boll...

Absolute masterpiece

Look at the footwork of Ma Long 🤯 Insane legend

It is wrong title.|It is Old BH topspin vs new.There are examples of old european players 20years ago vs young chinese.Ovtcharov,Franziska,Pitchord topspin are like chinese,short.

Very interesting video. Thanks for making it :) Would you making a video explaining how to do the backhand loop (handshake)? I'd love to watch it. I haven't been able to find a good video about that.

EXCELLENT EXPLANATOPN AND PHOTOES. THANKS A LOT.

Just my 2 cents:
- versus fast, long, spinny balls: shorten your bh stroke & use more wrist.
- versus short, slow ball: use more arm movement to generate spin & speed for the ball.

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing this video.❤❤❤❤

Interesting comment regarding contact point. Have you noticed European players hit the ball at the 3/4 mark with the poly ball as well?

Can you make a video on forehand drive

This video is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen in my life. It is decent, amazing and fantastic, I am inspired by this art piece.Well done and keep it up 👍🏻

Nice table tennis video 😊

This is bullshit. This is player centric style. Ma long uses short punchy backhand whereas FZD uses fluid motion. Nothing has to do with Europeans or Chinese

very nice, thanks!!!

European...

I completely disagree with you. You are showing completely different types of players from different ages and telling us that this is the European or Chinese style of backhand, but that's wrong. It's not specific to European or Chinese styles; those are just the individual styles of those players. And you're giving examples of older European-style players, whereas modern players mostly play in a similar way to Chinese players with their backhands. Nowadays, both in Europe and in China, players use many different styles.

Should emphasize Long arm vs shorter arm backhand stroke. Because of physiology long arm players will have to initiate contact further off center of the body than shorthand players. However; long arm players can produce more powerful shots due to wider pendulum stroke. But the shorter hand players have the advantage of better transition. You can compare Mike Tyson vs much taller opponents.

Thank you! High quality

Fantastic video. Very educational and great visuals to what you are talking about.

wow great video, keep up the good work, seeing people like you collaborating with table tennis is inspiring, hugs from brazil
