Qatar Open: Wang Liqin-Joo Se Hyuk

[@minki1214]

Mr. Joo is one of player who makes people motivated to Table tennis. One of my friends is going to table tennis club by Joo's inspiration. I hope that I want to see his play forever.

[@felmusik5043]

3:10 Joo it's an artist !

[@hasselett]

Joo Se-Hyuk has the best defensive play I've ever seen.

[@johannandjuanitawilliamson6669]

He’s the best there ever was

[@jerel42]

Wow, I love watching Joo play. I'm not a chopper anyway, but his matches are the most fun to watch. He's amazing, and so many great points!

[@Herold008]

Everything is perfect !The quality,the game,the cuts,Joo is my favourite chopper !He borned to be table tennis player,he is in gum,with great hands and legsand many others,he is there on every ball as a man can possibly do !tt contenance !I congratulation for making video,and I hope that, I will see many others from you !Thanks

[@BrigsyKyanite]

Amazing match Joo is so talented at the modern defensive game, I have started to adapt my style to play with long pips after being an attacking player for 20 years. Watching his matches is so inspiring

[@himuyashiro8218]

hey what do you mean by modern defense? i dont have experience with table tennis, just wondering

[@Alex_Averin_TT]

Defensive players typically use defensive rackets with inverted (smooth) rubber on the forehand and long pips on the backhand. Classic defenders, like Matshushita or Xinhua chopped from both backhand and forehand, with only occasional attacks from the forehand side. Modern defenders, like Joo Se Hyuk, or even better examples Masato Shiono and Panagiotis Gionis, either chop less with their forehand or not at all, and basically use pips for chopping on the backhand and a fast inverted rubber (ex. Tenergy 64) for looping, counter looping and swiping the ball on the forehand.

[@himuyashiro8218]

thanks

[@MiracoMango]

Come and see my channel, more JOO videos!

[@himuyashiro8218]

MiracoMangoManchuria sure

[@debashishmitra]

One of the best TT matches I have ever seen. JSH is the best defender ever and a gift to Table tennis. His matches are a welcome break from boring topspin against topspin rallies. Unbelievable control,footwork and counterattack

[@grygrskls]

Pretty crazy how Wang decides to attack on some of those extremely low chops, and still gets it over the net. Although the bat twiddling is a legit part of Joo's game, that would aggravate the hell out of me lol.

[@koreanopride]

One of the greatest choppers of all times. Growing up, I never liked to play with friends who were influenced by his play as their chopping skills were always far more challenging than it looked and I often repeatedly made the same mistakes not being able to recieve their well chopped spinning balls. The balls would always touch the net and not go over the net. Respect to Joo.

[@thommyturtle209]

the greatest

[@Kubric]

One of the best matches I've seen in a while. Thanks for the upload!

[@tjbanville]

One of the most entertaining games on KZbin, imo.

[@andyauger]

What I love is that these shots have so much spin in them and progressively they get even more. Wang Liqin puts a ton of topspin and Joo uses that and adds his own backspin, spinning the ball even faster in the same direction making for a super spun ball! Awesome match!

[@ZsebtelepHUN]

Just look at the rally beginning from 1:50 Joo receives 2 insanely difficult shots from Wang aimed perfectly at his body. Usually it is a good tactic against defenders to aim fast topspins at their bodies as its the most uncomfortable spot they can receive the ball into. Joo receives 2 killer body aimed topspins, and still manages to adjust his body position to get out of the balls way and manages to keep himself in the rally, which he wins eventually.

[@MartinWyatt]

Wang played well, great sound on his FH! Cheers for this ttCountenance!

[@barcafan9927]

The human being will never have such a talented player like Joo

[@dendondendom]

fantastic game! Liqin recovered nicely there in the last set. came back from 4:8 and finished Joo off with a nice rally. very pleasing...

[@gc0619]

What Wang Liqin did was the typical looping attacks with different angles and speeds, plus the combination of basic skills. But Joo had some obvious weakness on his chops which couldn't threat Wang's powerful loopings, especially on his left side which Joo cannot do his counter loop at all. The game show was fantastic and exciting, that should be one of the model lessens for all ping pong lovers. Bravo!!!

[@kakitu97]

Joo = The Best Defenser Ever !

[@FuckOffTrends]

I played TT few years ago but i stopped, and recently I went back to watch videos every day (i didn't have internet whan i was playing)I forgot the beauty of this sport.unfortunately my health no longer allows me to play TT, but I'll give everything i can do to play in club again. I had a similar joo's style and this guys is just the god of defense, he'got the perfect game that i always wanted to have. sorry for english

[@bestlifeforever3074]

hopmr after a three years now what progress did u have? i hope you played in a club.

[@yavartoghrol]

I just wanted to thank ttCountenance for uploadin all these videos, n the videos are all clipped to perfection...thanks alot!!!

[@ranwanguva]

It is crazy to think that Wang Liqin's forehand power actually dropped dramatically after the ban of speed glue...... and before that Joo cannot get even one match from Wang

[@noah7477]

Games like this don't exist anymore

[@syednabeelahsan6784]

The most exciting part of the match is when Joo starts attacking.

[@andreaxin]

Wang's trainer: so let's try some BH... Wang: NOT NOT NOT , I don't use it!

[@Betterdangaming]

Why would you use backhand against a chopper?

[@nealtran6844]

[@QuoPacto]

Dang, Joo has got my respect o.0 He played soooooooo good, but Wang Liqin just was to good! Joo would have deserved the win!

[@DuchDoby]

It s really hard work to beat Joo even for Wang Liqin - the best chinese tt player ever...Great tt video. 5 stars :)

[@lesliefrancs]

I like this matchup. An all-out offense player versus an unpredictable defender that isn't afraid to stick a few topspin wars in. And they're both around the same age (at least it seems like it). If Joo se Hyuk started out as an attacker I think he might be on par with China's newest generation of TT players (Ma Long, Xu Xin)

[@hu4yi]

wow wow thanks for uploading!

[@igorsklyarov4218]

Джу и Ван - очень достойные ребята.

[@chimstership]

im a defensive player too. Joo uses his own butterfly joo se hyuk blade with backhand tsp curl p1 r and forehand tackifire drive 1.9 i wouldn't suggest you using that setup though, his bat has a very hard feel, almost like an attacking blade with a semi large head making it difficult to control chops for a beginner. it works well for him because he chops from very far away and has the skill to control them near too. i suggest you get a matsushita pro with destroyer for ur backhand to start off

[@mariocibao]

At the end Wang started to attack with a massive loop torch an unreachable left corner. No defense for that, with a consistent player like Wang at that time it was a matter of time to find the hole.

[@CTTlleida1]

Superb match from both players. Really good forehand defensive attack from for by Joo See Hyuk. Wang should have played the same way all the match where he placed one forehand loop each side.

[@DIGITALDREAMSSUBLIMATIONTIPS]

Excellent defending by mr joo se hyuk ...very entertaining and enjoyable..

[@brianpark406]

His strategy is more of "waiting for the right moment" sort of tactic. Since his opponent is Wang Liqin, this may not seem so relevant, but it's usually the case against the average European player. Joo's game also tires his opponents over the course of the match since each point averages longer since the offense expends more energy with continuous smashes while he sits and defends. Good stuff, OP plays. v(^__^)v

[@GabrielEstebanCello]

@jerel42 Cho means attack or counterattack on the forehand or backhand side, and is also used in badminton and tennis.

[@Kwonghun]

@RandomStuffLookAts In the Videos of the 2011 World Championships you can see that Wang Liqin uses Stiga Rosewood NCT 5 (or NCT 7). Wang Liqin has played the Hurricane King and the special Hurricane 2 but after the speed glue interdict, he uses stiga calibra LT :-D really!! look after the Videos on ITTV :-D

[@sunie1785]

mind blowing! liqin was down to 8-4,but win the match.n joo was amazing

[@jerel42]

@CorrectionPen He is yelling "Cho!" which basically means "Yes!!". (Literally it derives from "good point", but in usage probably the best translation for Americans is "Yes!!".

[@ThatGuyAgen]

wang must have been so tired having to constantly put a ton of topspin on every ball to counterbalence joo's chopping, well done to both of them

[@Moritofreak727]

i love the way joo is playing i have the same playing style like him

[@KingJamal95]

@VidsforJMB @Kwonghun Joo does not use Feint Long . He uses a special Tibhar Grass D-Tecs 1,6 mm ( I think Factory Tuned like all pro tenergy's =) hear that sound)

[@1994Jett]

I like Joo's style..the way he does a defensive hit, then launches a counter smash at the opponent

[@FrankGixx99Motovlog]

Wang Liqin on fire in the fifth and sixth game! :D

[@rcmontecalvo]

both joo and wang liqin played beautifully in this, legendary match

[@LutherBlissett94]

Joo is awesome! Absolutely incredible.

[@Gilhfree]

@ChessArmyCommander Keep in mind Waldner was primarily offensive. Waldner could play defense when neccessary but was a strong attacker. And don't sell Wang short. Wang has pulled some crazy points in his prime as well.

[@Kwonghun]

@ReeceLo93 i'm not sure but I think Wang uses Stiga Rosewood NCT 5 and Stiga Calibra LT on both sides. You can see it in the videos of the World Championships in Rotterdam 2011:) I think Joo uses Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk DEF and Tibhar Grass D-Tecs on backhand and Tenergy 64 on forehand...hope I'm correct:)

[@59awesomeness]

@SDevitt89 It's actually pronounced Wang Li Cheen (the qin sounds like Cheen and li sounds like lee).

[@Addeionized]

wang liquins power is not human

[@timlin1111]

its now Matsushita Pro ALPHA( Arylate Fibre)+ T64 and Feint Long 2 i wonder when he would get into XIOM's sponsership......

[@cupidworldd]

Rally at 5:33 Liqin was like, "That's how you attack!". Lol

[@Moonboy1984]

da gibts nichts zu sagen die zwei sind genial / there is nothing to say these two players are genius!!!

[@PanchoGDMKWii]

1:37 Very unrespectful from the person of the crowd who did that

[@tabesamis]

Defensive play is definitely less efficient, but it's so fun to watch and if you can do it fun to play. I attempt to play like this. I'm a better two wing attacker but I really enjoy the exercise I get doing this. Also at my level it really doesn't matter. It's more difficult to get good at this style but really fun. If I were a junior or cadet though I would attack as much as possible. Attackers tend to win tournaments.

[@spidaku2614]

Jeez Wang is really good at Handling Joo's defence.

[@raytsh]

Great! Love the defense play!

[@curmosc]

On a forehand chop you can pull it off with the offensive rubbers. The backhand is a different story. I can see why he would wanna switch to a slower blade if it's even true that he did switch to the matsushita pro. But I wouldn't even be surprised if he was still using the joo blade honestly. Or maybe a custom blade that they haven't released yet.

[@NostalgiaOC]

Holy crap. These dudes rock. Joo has flawless defense technique. Wang doesnt yeild either.

[@chimstership]

nup, his backhand is tsp long pips, and his forehand is tackifire drive which is a smooth. Its good that you enjoy attacking too, as modern defensive players HAVE to counter attack loose balls!

[@KingJamal95]

So I played the Pro versions of Tenergy 05 , 64 of Tibhar Nianmor and Genius and some others, so I heard the sound . Its like a extremely Tuned Sound Rubber^^ you want to tell me that player like Timo Boll or Joo se hyuk use the same rubbers than the standardt player ??^^ You can be right with the feint long but in march Joo used a Grass d.tecs FT KJ

[@cooiyoung]

Man.. Joo improve a lot! Although Liqin is one favorite player, Joo deserves this one.

[@aznelf13]

@1994Jett yea i like his way of play, it doesnt make him seem like much of a defensive player, more like an all round player

[@Huanigan]

@CoolDeano123 I think the ball came in contact with Liqin's jersey? Not sure.

[@skrymir1]

Brilliant Joo Se Hyuk

[@TorresFabregas96]

wang liqin is awesome!

[@능소화정원주인]

대단합니다 원더풀

both are just awesome !!!!!!!!!

[@tobiii999]

1 of the gr8est matches i've ever seen!! does anybody know which blade joo se hyuk plays??

[@Kwonghun]

@VidsforJMB Forehand: Tenergy 64 2,1 mm Backhand: Feint Long 3 1,3mm :-D

[@stefanarak]

@hkjkdsifu it's just what they say when they win a point, it has no exact translation, but it's something like 'Come on!!' or 'yes!'.

[@loiuytf]

I LOVE LIQIN WANGS

[@lrdmiddlefinger]

dang... wang liqin is a BEAST in this game

[@noopy1993]

i want to buy the the "hard" dhs hurricane wl off + blade with "softy"-rubbers like the sriver g3 fx... what do you think about that? in my opinion there are two best combinations: soft rubbers + hard blades or hard rubbers + soft blades

[@maxk880]

I am now an attacking player but I'm not really getting the feeling of looping and stuff so I might buy the same stuff as joo and start choppin since barely anyone chops nowaydays in the youtghh competition, they're all focused on spinning and looping but chopping would win

[@98nfsmw98]

@1994Jett Should I get a table tennis Schildkrot Waldner 600 Table Tennis Bat or a Butterfly Timo Boll 500 Bat?

[@ZingyDNA]

3:10 Joo twiddled his racket to use the forehand inverted rubber for the block. Why didn't he just use the backhand long pips to block? I've never used any pips but I heard pips don't feel the spin so they should be easier for blocking and hitting...

[@BicolBandit]

Anyone know what rubber he's using on his forehand now? Glue ban probably hits modern defenders harder than most.

[@Assassine8]

Butterfly-players are the best!!! (Kreanga, Mizutani, Joo, Boll, Schlager...)

[@lastxp]

Wish KillerSpin would do an "analysis of a game" video with these two players.

[@TTenium]

Well, Joo tried Curl but actually he´s playing Feint Long II with a thicker (1,7) sponge.

[@alanfuyh]

Wang's forehand too OP

[@kioka2]

Well, Joo don´t use the backhand rubber long pips for block, because the long pips rubbers its good for inverting the spin!! for block its good a "normal (Flat rubber)" or a short pips rubber!

[@bulgiriri]

It was very very hard for Wang Liqin to win Joo.. Joo is great player!!

[@VidsforJMB]

@Kwonghun thanks!

[@seek223]

Haha, I love it how Joo always catches the ball shortly before it hits the ground =D

[@Kwonghun]

Ok....finally I know which rubber and blade uses wang liqin...he uses the Stiga Rosewood NCT V, the hurricane 3 neo national version (blue sponge) on the FH and the provincial version of the tenergy 64 on the BH ;) 100 % SURE!!!

[@Punsher]

it's not tha unusual since most players will often play a sidespin serve on the pimples which you can easily counter with the inverted rubber. Its not that diffucult and there are many chances but this works only once or twice on the same opponent...

[@magicmike1122]

What does joo's backspin chop do when trying to hit it? Does it make it more difficult to drive or something? I notice he does that backspin hit a lot, but it doesnt seem to effective.

[@hacxpiont]

he is a defensive player and cant topspin throw that

[@dwk204]

magicmike1122 Driving involves putting topspin, meaning you have to use extra force to drive a chop like that. It's very difficult to smash, and joo mixes in sidespin so its not a straightforward chop. It is very effective. He's a defensive style player, he drags it out until the opponent loses focus, which happens when players are frustrated.

[@HawkOfGP]

+Jamie Matthews Joo Se-Hyuk still plays a pretty good game despite all that...

[@vietnampogo1206]

As a singles player, he was a silver medalist at the 2003 World Table Tennis Championships, a bronze medalist at the 2011 Table Tennis World Cup, and a bronze medalist at the 2010 and 2014 Asian Games.
