Michael Maze - Master Of Lob And Sidespin (Table Tennis Legend)

[@Kotori32]

6:11 - 6:36 The craziest thing is that after surviving MP on these two points, MM actually went on to win the match!

[@UtsavNayak3]

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.

[@Abeni28]

One word AMAZEing

[@rubenvleugels5186]

Maze is a legend, inspired me a lot when I was a kid!

[@posadrus]

я на нем учился

[@Enkidu1701]

3:20 Holy shit, I didn´t know Ovtsharov could do that.

[@Soei23]

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.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

Are you serious?His footwork just was terrible for a pro.He had good touch though.

[@MrUtoobee]

What brutal side spin. Awesome

[@vvyang2968]

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.
