There are pros with rating and there are those with Olympics or world rankings. Once they go Olympics, forget about beating them. The game against semi pros is super slow for them. The main difference is not only the technique; it’s the speed or pace at which the 2600 and up pros play. The semi pro players are so slow for them. These high rated players can take a shower, have a cup of coffee, lay in bed and still attack the difficult serves and shots of semi-pro players.

That is because the ping pong ball knocked their eyes out sorry my english bad

[@KinkyLettuce]

its because Adam's trickshots are not even viable on the professional level, and Adam knows this. Adam puts in tremendous amount of effort doing these fancy trick shots instead of developing solid technique/footwork. They surely are effective against normal players, but unfortunately they almost never work against real professionals. Just like how fancy street basketball trick shots are never seen on NBA - they just dont work against real players

[@ahjinguild7463]

@@shadup7571 lol I'm ded knocked out

[@cooltron]

@@KinkyLettuce That's a bad comparison. There are thousands of ways to handle a basketball and the trick moves actually do work against NBA players you can search on youtube and see it. Table tennis is limited in the amount of moves you can do and its a linear sport compared to basketball so there's not much trickery that can go by a professional.

Еще уровновешенность и уверенность. Особенно умилило его небольшое надувание щек и выдох после победы над именитым китайским игроком. Выдохнул , пожал руки и пошел дальше.
