    / top8tt Xu Xin (許昕) is a left-handed penhold player from China. This video contains his best rallies and signature shots (forehand sidespin returns, lobing, forehand attacks, chop blocks...). Xu Xin is one of the few penhold grip players in China. With his long arms and frame, he is able to more easily reach balls hit wide. His long arms enable a graceful, unique forehand loop, with his arm almost fully outstretched. He has also adopted the reverse penhold backhand grip, but he still uses a traditional penhold backhand to lob and push the ball with the forehand side of his racket.

    Such a unique style of play. Always very entertaining to watch: from massive topspin forehands to rocket lobs and crazy sidespin. Great compilation once again and will be sad to see him go eventually. May I request a Zhang Jike comp next?

      I used to play shakehand style, and after having watched many Ma Lin and Xu Xin matches (especially the latter), I decided to try and learn on my own how to play penhold style.
      And now I can't even play properly as a shakehander

    I've been a fan since this channel started, and this is by far your most spectacular video. You save the slow-motion replays for the most impressive shots, and have a wide variety of skill displayed with the long chops, explosive forehands, and short drops. Great job, keep it up.

    I grew up watching Chong Je Tung using his penhold rackets ruling the TT world, then shake hand dominates the TT world after Chong’s retirement and I lost interest in TT for almost 30 years! Then I saw Xu’s new penhold grip which has shocked me and his style of playing is like an artist

  • @jacobbunea3131
    @jacobbunea3131 Před 4 lety +2

    Can honestly say my game has gotten better since I’ve started watching TT videos, top 10 compilations mostly 😂 Xu Xin is my favorite player ahead of Koki, watching him play is like watching Mj play in his prime, most of what Xun Xin does is so skilled, he makes me want to be better to do like him. Honestly one of the best to have hold a paddle, I’m from Michigan and play “ping pong” in a basement, cheers 🏓

    Thanks a lot!
    We all know XX will never be a World or Olympic winner, but to me he is the player with the most beautiful TT style ever. Maybe only Korea's own Joo Se Hyuk comes close, as another one with such a classy demeanor on the table who'll never win any of the great trophies.
    But it really doesn't matter.
    Life is about Conscience and Compassion, not about winning prizes for the low ego - and only Beauty makes it even more tolerable and enjoyable. Exactly the kind of Beauty we all can see in these two player's games.
    If one applies Tai Chi Chuan's principles of Energy & Movement to TT, that's exactly what Xu Xin is doing, all the time when playing. Definitely, there's nothing more beautiful in all the TT's world.
    Again, thank you very "magic"! ;)
    Cheers!

And i think that a that level, they are able to read the spin on the serve the same way even if the serve is ''hidden''

    • @hellsingalucard8003
      @hellsingalucard8003 Před 6 lety

      it is not about being an expert or not, i just think that you can't really judge if the serve is really hidden or not from a video, sometime, from a serve can look illegal from the camera angle, but can be completely visible from the player position. if you follow the rules strictly it is almost impossible to have a completely legal serve.
