I Challenged The Best Player In USA

[@AdamBobrow]

Btw, Lily Zhang was the FIRST Olympic medalist for the US at the Youth Olympic Games in 2014. Then came Kanak's medal in 2018. Apologies for that. Lily's amazing too! I hope to share more of Lily's story with you at some point as well. 8>)

[@ml-ei3nz]

I don’t know if you realized, Neil deGrasse Tyson spoke in a recent podcast, which Olympic sport made the strongest impression on him. Almost embarrassed he told table tennis! I believe, huge part of the amazement was due to your Marvelous commentary. Keep it up!

This might be one of the most entertaining matches Adam has ever featured in his youtube channel

[@mynakedcousin]

I think that's because Kanak Jha has a very good sense of tabletennis humour, too :)

[@shenqiangshou]

Absolutely without a doubt. It wasn't just entertaining because of Adam's trickory, but it was also amazing table tennis. I mean, Kanak showcased some astonishing touch and feel for the game. To out duel Adam in rollers, around the nets, no look shots, and even tried out snaking Adam's snake. Just amazing! Bright future indeed!

[@leonawroth2516]

Most impressive to me is his patience and control. Even with playing trick shots, I never felt he was struggling. Perfect read of the opponent and situation and following up with good foot work always standing in the right spot.

[@peacockmusicpage]

Well duh. It's like LeBron whooping a very good college player. What did you expect?

[@yaweli2968]

His patience! Adam is so slow for him,he can take his sweet time to hit every ball. That’s expected if you are close to semi pro. Anyone close who plays around 2000 rating already has a good touch and control and you are talking about a world ranked player. His controls playing against a semi pro shouldn’t surprise you. Unless, of course you don’t play at a very competitive level.

[@leonawroth2516]

I said it's impressive, not that I'm surprised by it.

[@yaweli2968]

@@leonawroth2516 : it’s impressive but not surprising: 🤔. My point is, your comment sounds like you are not close to a semi pro TT player. Those skill sets are expected, especially when a world ranked player plays against a semi pro.

[@drewbanker9531]

This is interesting for me to watch as a tennis player. I noticed Kanak will often let a high ball drop pretty far before he hits it in order to get a lower bounce on his shot or a different angle. In tennis, you’re really never supposed to take the ball lower than you need to. Great channel, Adam!

Ok, time for some BRUTAL honesty!😳 That is the only thing Badger does, is straight and brutal honesty.👍 Before watching approx 20-25 videos, I thought of table tennis as a non-sport for people who didn't have the room for a tennis court. After watching 20+ videos, I think these athletes are some of the best in the world. I mean, they have a strange way of serving, they use an entire tennis court sized area of play, with a tiny table in the centre, that the player has to hit , only A HALF of. The speed and accuracy, nevermind some of the best and most amazing tricks I've ever seen, has definitely changed my mind and I am now a huge fan of table tennis! Go figure!!!😁👍🙏🙏🙏
