Ryu Seung Min - The Best Footwork Of All Time (Traditional Penhold King)

[@IprilDye]

A player who inspired me to learn table tennis. One of the favorite athletes ever. Much love and much respect

[@djekenenejedjekelk6817]

Not only is his footwork itself wonderful, but combined with his forehand and very long arms, there we have one of the strongest olympic champions of all time. A combination of born talent and perspiration.

[@casperxvi1904]

Of course I'd heard of him before but never really watched too much of him. Now I realize how great of a player he was.

[@mahadevaniyer6674]

City pery

[@riujithetechnician]

JSH and RSM, the two odd balls of Korea Each presents a unique style of play

[@hirit418]

The reason why Seungmin Yoo is good is that regardless of whether he is good or bad, the game is powerful and fun, so it is fun to watch.

[@Soper79]

Man I miss young RSM. :) If you ever watch that Olympic gold medal match he had with Wang Hao, you can see just how quick & on fire he was. Was able to run around everything and his forehand visibly had more speed & power than Wangs that match. Thanks for uploading this.

[@JCech40]

Soper79 He was amazing

[@DCTableTennis]

His footwork is dope then... Waldner said he is in a different world then...

[@mochipepper]

i agree about the music, specially loud heavy metal type. in this video, you can hear the ball exploding off the rackets really appreciate how hard they hit.

[@davidchoi9805]

he had such an amazing footwork and powerful forehand drive but couldn't play so in every single shot. His day was short but he was a symbol and pride of penholder since. . .

[@FormostPanda]

Ryu had beautiful footwork and was blessed with long arms as well.

[@송영훈-b9o]

What a great footwork... he must be one of the fastest player in table tennis history Korea is proud of RSM

[@lgeiger]

4:45 Oh my god, I miss that speed glue sound...

[@wongrt2431]

No one can play this style like him anymore.(In 40+plastic era) Rocket kill shot style with fast footwork!!

[@anonymousentity5106]

4:46 show this to someone who say TT isnt a real sport. It looks so simple because the high angle shots takes away the perspection of distance and speed, but from this angle it looks absolutely insane!

Ryu when he won the olympic gold medal and Joo Se Hyuk vs Kong 2003, my toplist of best fotwork!

[@wangshuntian]

Being pen holder without backhand has to have footwork like this :(

[@shritejchavan6222]

Don't forget at his peak his unforced errors are less compared to others and also has some level of ball placement.

[@reng.2588]

His too fast

[@henrytan5707]

If he could utilize the other side of the racket in his backhand, he could have made history.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@henrytan5707 If he had a backhand he wouldn't have such great footwork.

[@winson5159]

@@henrytan5707 no, if you play both sides of the racket, the racket has to be thinner, so your forehand would be less powerfully like Wang Hao.

[@cuteness_]

Here from BTS Run Ep138. Watching this out of curiosity and I am impressed how good he is!!!

[@FoobsTon]

Was in Zagreb in 07 for the WC. His semi with Wang Li Win was outta this world. Mind you, so was the final with Ma Lin and Wang. Hopefully the new ball will slow things down. The Chinese with the bh flick have been killing rallies before they get started in recent years.

You should do a video on Deceptive Shots, like faking spin on a serve or redirecting a hit.

[@anchorschmidt]

Haha, that would be just basically be 10 minutes of Waldner :D

[@kishenpankhania363]

Lol, it kinda is what everyone wants to see- he is so different from everyone else

[@DoggyP00]

lol, no. Waldner wasn't different at all from anyone else, he was just better.

[@kishenpankhania363]

Really? Every other player in the time focused on attacking the ball and willing using their power and spin, Waldner used his brain- he used their power against them and won though control and placement, he had a very different playing style to others

[@DoggyP00]

All players use their brain to utilize control and placement. That's just not enough to get the point for them, so they resort to other things more often than waldner does. Obviously, if you can end the point on your serve or with a simple block, everybody would do it. The thing is that only Waldner could.

[@IgnaciusReilly]

Maybe I don't know about what "footwork" is. But I think Ryu Seung Min's strength has more to do with athletism. He actually made mistakes with his reading of the game, but his legs saved him in those cases. He was a natural. Today his successors would be Xu Xin, Mizutani or Aruna ... Ma long has the perfect footwork, even if he's not as fast going sideways.

[@wawakong]

[@Irfan87]

Hey Top 8TT, could you please make a compilation of Traditional penhold backhand smashes? Like the ones seen at 0:21, 2:59, 3:56, 5:51. This particular shot is dying out. Not as effective as RPB, but spectacular due to the difficulty it requires to pull off successfully.

[@MrLockeV1]

i agree, this is a truly insane shot

[@ktosomcosom19]

Man, that's incredible, there needs to be more studying done on how to promote different grip styles and playing styles through rule changes. Shake hand offensive is just far too dominant in the current ruleset. All these styles are still viable in amateur play but aren't as popular only because less pros use them.

Honest question is pen holding more optimal? Meaning can you get more spin and speed from it compared to holding it normally.

[@benthekeeshond545]

Ryu and a few Korean penholders are really fast but this is also true with penhold players from other countries. Xu Xin is the immediate player I can think of and so is Ma Lin. Can we recall Guo Yue Hua and Jiang Jia Liang? Jiang being a smasher, he played close to the table and he possesses cat-like side to side movements.
