Xu Xin - Deadliest Forehand (Crowd Pleaser)

"Xu Xin is one of the few penhold grip players in China, especially among the younger generation who are mostly shakehand players. He follows the footsteps of other penhold champions such as Wang Hao and Ma Lin.
Xu Xin's main strength is his shot variation and blazing forehand loops, often stepping very deep into his backhand corner to use his forehand. He sets these shots up with his extremely spinny and deceptive serves, and has some of the best footwork in table tennis. He is also something of a 'crowd entertainer’, often coming up with wild, and sometimes inappropriate, shots. He has been dubbed the 'show man' in recent years. This is perhaps due to his playful nature and confidence in playing. He admitted that he hopes to try to be more efficient and effective with his shot selection as he matures and carries more responsibilities."

Xu Xin is a [[DHS |DHS]] sponsored athlete. He uses a DHS Dynasty Carbon as his blade, with TG2 Skyline for his forehand and DHS NEO Hurricane 3 custom sponge on his backhand. Recently, STIGA announced that a new upcoming Dynasty Carbon Xu Xin blade would be in production by the end of 2018.

0:14 "Deadliest forehand" *shot of Xu Xin hitting backhand*

[@hema176v]

Lord Stinson 😂😂😂

[@imaturquoisecloud0421]

PLOT TWIST

[@Dashiawia]

The most entertaining penhold player of all time, IMO.

[@isithardtobevegan53]

yes

[@purpose6113]

I like ma lin better

[@gavinschwalb8746]

One of the best pen holders ever too

[@spaceinvader384]

@3:49 Shot from outa space. Watched it so many times still love it. XX might not be world #1 but he'll live in our memories forever. There is/was nobody like him in TT.

[@jackshi662]

XX is world NO1now,

[@gab5012]

First penholder to be able to perform so well far from table, one of the most deadly forehands of all time. Apart from that he can lob, chop block, do incredible side spin, pretty much do anything. Yeah we'll remember him alright

[@curiosity7917]

XU XIN MAKES TABLE TENNIS AS AN ART.I AM ALWAYS PLEASED TO WATCH HIS GAMES. WITHOUT XU XIN TABLE TENNIS WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN SO ENJOYABLE.....

[@gab5012]

6:23 Chinese head coach is beyond proud here!

[@hillsideonly]

Xu Xin is like a dream I hope he plays on at least till 2022

[@thenewguy7527]

Why 2022? Next olympics is 2020 and next WTTC is 2021

[@tuckwahwong986]

tokyo 2020 mix👍👍

[@spaceinvader384]

@4:19 Greatest rally of all time. Much appreciated for this upload. Saved it for tremendous TT entertainment.

[@EmperorThePro]

TRUE HANDS DOWN

[@eduardoarosemena655]

Unique player, a joy to watch.

[@gabrielweissenbach4048]

Xu xin has the most "elastic" and versatile forehand. His footworks and his long wingspan make it possible where it seems to be impossible to reach or to hit a ball properly. But Ma Longs forehand is still the mist complete overall.

[@ginobi0707]

0:13 deadliest forehand. And then it shows back hand XP

[@MrLockeV1]

1:32 my favourite point of all time

[@firefist4547]

There's like a milion better points than that

[@MrLockeV1]

Fear Firefist it’s MY favourite point idk what you think

[@burhaniglass777]

nun

[@PastorMirchev]

Wonderful video!

[@MrFreezebook21]

7:12 Ma Long: You want to play? Let's play.

[@kakchingtabamradharani295]

xu xin nice

[@sochivykhieng8805]

What’s great player!

[@jamie9950]

帅！

[@handy9234]

Too much spin. Very entertaining. The Mozart in table tennis!

[@spaceinvader384]

So high above Waldner's era.

[@markbenjiedatuin6713]

What is the racket set up used by Ma Long in the introduction?

[@embro7056]

Xu Xin is like Rafa Nadal but from table tennis. 😂😄

[@shanelawson5072]

& amazingly... BOTH are natural right-handers❗

[@embro7056]

@@shanelawson5072 I didn't even thought about that, thanks for the fact. 😱

[@FBR2169]

Rafa Nadal is like XuXin but from tennis XD

[@chaengpapi]

BEST RBI IN THE WORLD

[@andrewhasbigbrain4496]

0:13 deadliest forehand *shows backhand*

[@tes1286]

xu xin my favorite player pingpong

[@JDL1115]

5:43 wasn’t that two bounces on the table already ?

[@adrians3267]

No. Net, then table

[@yuanhu7264]

After lin gaoyuan no more exhibition point...

[@ryanrr1296]

Intro says deadly forehand, shows backhand instead

[@cg-cf5pi]

I realised as soon as I clicked on the vid

[@marikocraig7082]

3:50 totally a forehand

[@spaceinvader384]

Shot from outa space. Watched it so many times still love it. XX might not be world #1 but he'll live in our memories forever. There is/was nobody like him in TT.

ARO Fictions: Xu Xin - Deadliest forehand Ma Long: Am i a joke to you?

[@Rocky4u]

XU XIN = 5 X RAFA

[@jerushkadoesstuff189]

Isn't ma long forehand the more consistent?

[@andyzhaott]

Xu Xin’s forehand is more powerful.

[@so_ein_richtiger_beki]

@@andyzhaott i think the forehand from Zhang jike was more powerful and the forehand from Lin Gaoyuan is the fastest now

[@andyzhaott]

DEAMON Zhang Jike’s forehand seems to have more spin. Lin Gaoyuan’s recovery between each shot seems faster. However, neither has the same swing as Xu Xin.

[@Raghuveer2798]

Ma long definitely has the best forehand of all time

[@andyzhaott]

Raghuveer Dubagunta depends on what you mean by “best”

[@pierrebouleze1584]

Aurélien même une passion dévorante peut être délaissée au profit du bien commun j'abandonne le ping si vous vous engagez en politique

[@osavvv24z79]

Ma long has the best forehand
