Can’t help looping the “holy shit” part🤣🤣
☺️
Agree. It was really unexpectedly funny ))))
yeah ^^ it happens cause he took left leg forward for chilling to the end of talking at 1m04. I would like to know if the rocket became damaged or not?
Aber was auch immer wir lieben dich Timo unsere Legende :D
@@b2bs682 da kenne ich Schläger die regelmäßig doller auf der Platte aufschlagen. Dem Schläger geht es gut, es sei denn Timo hatte sehr viel Pech

I would also like to switch hands, Timo! You'll get mine, I'll get yours!🙋♂️😉
Haha ☺️👍
Lol
Without any doubt it is an unbelievably difficult shot. Before, i though it was impossible for me to do it, but thanks a lot Timo Sir, you’ve helped a lot!
Who else is mastering the hand switch or do you have another special signature shot?
My signature is the backhand topspin
Mine is like dima ‘s one
And my another signature shot is the banana flick
My signature shot is the tomohauk smash becuase the spin makes the ball curve away from the opponent :)
I sometimes use the strawberry flick when the ball is in my forhand. I also use heavy backhand topspin.
I do often switch hand. But mostly because i don't have a propper backhand quality. The difference is you achieve to keep same forehand rubber in the other hand. Me not
Behind the back shot is the best😁💪🏻
That was one of these questions I had for quite a while. As legendary as Waldner's no-look shots. And great to see that you even spend time practicing the hand switch. :-)
One of the most GOAT shots from one of the GOAT players!
LOL. He will never be GOAT.
@@khairuladzli2495 one of the GOATs.. Look at his age and he still ranks in the top 10 world rankings. If that's not the most impressive thing, I don't know what is. Even Samsonov didn't play as long. And while his gameplay may not be better than Ma Long or FZD, you cannot deny he consistently gives the CNT troubles!
Timo, you’re a great player and an inspiration man. Certainly were for me when I started playing back in 2008 and to be honest that has not changed. But with your coaching I think you should get more to the technical components and explain better what you do and how you do it more thoroughly. I know that for a man that has been playing table tennis since he could barely walk it’s all obvious and easy, but I suppose for the majority of your viewers might not. Stay safe and keep on going friend, best of luck with everything 👌🏻
What a legend you are Timo i dont care if you out from top ten or twenty, as long you still play and share your experience with us thats enough for me🙌
Thanks
Thank you, Timo! Make more of these videos!
Thanks for sharing your signature shot that we all love! All my admiration from Italy Timo👍
I was born lefthanded and switched to the right. Now I play table tennis with right hand as the main, but I can play with the left aswell, but its a little bit stiff. Tried to play during couple of days with the left, it helped alot to improve forehand smash and topspin
Makes me smile from ear to ear
Timo, Du bist der "Hands-Switch-King". :-) Gänsehaut pur bei den Ausschnitten Deiner Matches! Ich werde das auch mit ins Training einbauen. Man weiß nie, wann man es mal gebrauchen kann. ;-) Und der Überraschungsmoment ist dann definitiv auf Deiner Seite! Weiter so und vielen Dank für das tolle Video.
One of the best player our generation has seen and yet so humble. You are an inspiration Timo. Lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤️❤️
Your handswitch shots define world-class table tennis, sir.
this is so interesting, it's like switch skateboarding. you can execute it, but it looks different and more awkward. the left arm loop is correct, with the bent elbow, but the right arm loop is a forced swing of the entire arm just to get the same shot off.
Love you Timo. You are great person and athlete. Thank you.
You are the best Timo. Best wishes from Peru.
I am still not better with my strong hand but timo boll switches hand feels he is comfortable with both hand. Awesom! Man
I'm not sure if it's like that
I wish i can see this trick again in coming olypics
Timo, Timo....simply a legend for us!
Simply the BEST pure talent and magic
I'm a left handed player, and I have to say that you inspired me to get better, I watched all your matches from youtube, and I've practised the hand switch, but for intermediate players is quite difficult because the "feeling" and muscle memory is not developed on the other arm/hand, you have to train it quite a lot, and usually intermediate players don't have the time, the robot, or a partner to practise those shots.
Also, I have to say that even when being a professional doesn't leave a lot of free time to do other things (and if TableTennis is your job, you want to disconnect as much as you can, I guess), you seem so friendly and approachable, love your videos when you collaborate with youtubers such as TT Daily. 🏓👊
Very nice video Timo Boll . I always wanted to know how you switch your hands. When I first watched your switch shot I was very amazed.
BIG FAN FROM INDIA
🏓💙🏓
Amazing Timo
legends never die
Love you bro
Timo..amazing👍👍
Finally, you have a channel!!! Sorry, I didn't notice it earlier!
The most exciting play of all time the Timo’s signature hand switch
Cool Tim
Hey Timo can you make a video about how to improve footwork ?
Thanks in advance love you vids!❤️
The legend timo, best of luck for the olympics
I think Germany has quite a strong team this year !
The legend!
And now I know what I want to practice
Where will European table tennis be without Timo? He's a gem and a gentleman! And Timo, if you're stiff now I'm the Tin Man out of the Wizard of Oz!🤣
5th wish i could play with both hands like you!
No one:
Timo Boll ALC: Nah bro, i’m out honestly 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Blade got wrecked
Very good vidéo
Great video as always! Loved the "holy shit" part too ahahah
Oh, this video! Im from Argentina and usually play the hand switch, becaus Im left handed but for some reason I play with the right hand, but the hand switch feels very natural. I think there are not so many players here in Argentina that do it, so many competitors from here acknowledge me for that and they joke that Im Timo Boll.... well... checking the rest of my game they notice I am NOT Timo Boll hahaha.
greatest of all time.
My personal favorites of your hand switch shots are: against Liang Jingkun (and this is a fantastic rally too) and against Chuang at T2.
And my suggestion to WTT - there must be allowed two rackets in both player's hands. So no one will need a hand switch in this case😜
P.S. There are some comments below your videos about adding Russian subtitles to expand your audithory (here in Russia you have a huge fan base!). So, I can help with it if you wish, Timo😎
Absolutely wonderboll ;)
Hey Timo,
You have not gotten slow, you have a matured your rythm.
I remember your 2017 world championship win over Ma Long . You outplayed him with rythm..fast and slow transitions. He was relatively young then .😀
I believe a champion like yourself would always appreciate coolness over aggression?
And that frequency of hand switch is one of the coolest tricks one can posses.
Amazinggt video
Holy Shit 🤣 🤣🤣 I like how these funny errors are kept in the edit 😆
Danke 👏👏👏👏
bessere Vorhand mit rechts als ich😂🔥 danke für deine videos timo! es ist mir eine freude von den besten der besten zu lernen
I from indonesian , i'm your fans timo boll. I very like your video, specially this one. 😂😂
I know you may not feel confident with it, but most of the time when you try it, you seem to always get the ball back onto the table at least. There is a question that comes to my mind: On what level would you be able to play using only your right hand (off the bat with no practice)?
I like this video....👍
"I admit it; you are better than I am."
"Then why are you smiling?"
"Because I know something you don't know."
"And what is that?"
"I am not left-handed!"
I used to be equally comfortable with both hands. These days I'm primarily a lefty, but I do occasionally switch for certain angles.
My heart stopped when Timo suddenly hit the racket.
😜
I swap hands all the time. It's super fun and no big deal once you get the hang of it.
Das was ich verstehe. Habe Spaß beim Spielen 😀
Legende 🏓👍
Youre the master my idol
I had to pause. Did he really say that??? You are officially my favorite professional athlete just for that.
it is nice bc he won most of the hand switch point. Thats where most of the hypes are from
nice！
And now it is not secret again, thanks for sharing my lord ☺ appreciated
Been big fan of your's from india
P'tain, il est trop fort Timo !! Y'a que lui pour sortir des coups comme ça. Venu de nulle part. Sa spéciale. One again bistouflaille !!
My table tennis inspiration Timo Boll 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 since you're the only world class pro player around in youtube, please inform why you choose Timoboll alc towards Timoboll zlc. Big Thanks Timo. Looking forward for your feedback, i want to know the real reason directly from my most favourite player why pros prefer alc to zlc. Big thanks once again
Hello Sir! Can you make a video about that forehand fade shot you played against Liang Lingkun? It is in this video.
Crazy skill Timo. You would have to teach us how one can be consistent. You have played for this long at a high level not because you love rice and chicken stew, but because you are extremely consistent. How can a player acquire this skill.
It just came out of emergency 😂😂
Unbelievable
größter Ehrenmann!
The German Giant strikes back :D
Amazing video as always. By the way, who is your greatest opponent?? Whom do you find hardest to play against?
Maybe with this kind of accident it should be called „the secret of my blade switch“ 😂
☺️
1:07 holy shit 😂😂 I've never heard him swearing before 😂
Timo is such a friendly person. What is the best joke you have done during a match or during training ?
My favourite 😂😂😂😂😂
Sir.. Make a video with Adam Bobrow please.
new Timo Boll blade coming soon Timo? with the Primorac composition? ;)
1:07 good you did not edit that out :D
Hahaha
U can switch lands and move to Hessen!:))
1:11 Timo said "shit" 😲😲😲😲
I never hear timo swear before
Person #1: Timo who?
Person #2: Timo, the switch hands guy!
1:10 Holy shit :)
Dear Timo,
I think you are anticipating what table tennis will look like in the future. I think all players in the future will play with both hands (they will be trained in hand switching from an early age). I also think that in the future the players will be playing closer to the table and the game will become even faster than it is today.
By the way, a question. Do the rules currently prohibit playing with two rackets (you would then not need a switching hand)?
I am an amateur, but not so long ago I bought a "Timo Boll ALC" blade + "Dignics 0.5" rubber! 😃😃
However I had to get used to this racket for a long time because previously I played with the "Zoran Primorac 7000 Anatomic" + Wakaba D-13 rubber.
I would like to play at least one set with you one day (my son also dreams of playing with you). 😃😃
Do you play tennis and chess? If we were to organize such a non-classic triathlon, maybe I would have a chance to win?
😃😃
What is the chance that you will play again in my hometown - Warsaw?
Greetings from Warsaw, Poland. 😃😃
We want a roomtour
Is the website translation to English almost completed?
Sir could tell about Indian team matches
I sometimes do the hand switch in training, the sad part about it is, I am too young to have that slow footwork :D Are you using Primorac Carbon now? ;)
Timo, you are a terminator)
Hi Timo. i'm analysing your games since your swap to the Primorac blade and i think you are more dangerous with it. this blade is more suited to your game close to the table. i think some players must have told it to you right? you are adjusting to it pretty well. you can make the swap without major issues in your game. your touch is good enough and you have the experience too.
trading a bit of confidence in the blade to be deadlier in your shots is basically like having your blade + T05 but with huge grip from D09C. which is what you need for your game in the end. if you want a bit more feeling in the handle you can see with Butterfly to make a slightly thinner version of Primorac with ZLC carbon. i tell you that because the Garaydia ZLC is pretty much a Primorac with ZLC and the feeling is a lot better than the Primorac T5000. T5000 carbon is very strong and stiff. in terms of feeling it's "too far" from your ALC blade.
like a 6.2/6.5mm thickness ZLC + hinoki + kiri core would give you a good combo. not as fast as Primorac but faster than your blade with a better feeling than Primorac.
You can do so much with the switch...
Timo r u still using boll alc?
Sir timo boll what do you say about super zlc carbon blades
Have you test any
If Timo keeps hand-swap training, then he definitely can beat Adam Bobrow. If only it happened before (in their last encounter).....
They had a game?
czcams.com/video/YTCrAgygf9U/video.html Here is the link, it comes in the middle of the video.
1:08 made me laugh so hard XD, but I can't wait to try it out!
that's the swap-racket move cos you just killed your racket lol
Can't wait to try out the racket banging strat? It's won me many points, noone expects it, not even me doing it by accident😂
@@john.s1962 You know what I meant lol
Good video, Timo! What's up with the "yeah"-s though?
He's a German so the 'Ja' comes a lot which is similar to yeah
@@madhavved2875 Yes, I know, I speak some german, but that's just oddly many "Ja"-s or "Yeah" - s
I am trying it with both of my hand 🤣
Aus der Not heraus 😂
🏓👍
Круто Тимо)
Русские субтитры пожалуйста)
Может быть, легче английский выучить, чем чемпиону с русскими субтитрами заморачиваться?:)
@@ekarter1981 очень правильно сказано. Но думаю с субтитрами он расширит аудиторию канала. И не только с российскими. Тимо знают в большом количестве стран. А также не обязательно этим заниматься лично чемпиону:)
@@user-ky6mu1qc2n насчет расширения канала согласен:) просто оставлять из раза в раз под каждым его роликом призыв сделать русские субтитры вряд ли поможет - Тимо по-русски не читает.
better tell us which ball machine you use and like best!
Trinking game: Take a shot everytime he says 'yeah'
