nice
Very coooool adam
你加油
Heyy Adam, previous video winner isn't announced yet?
Finaly a hungarian thanks adam (köszönöm adam)
I think this match was possibly my favorite to watch so far. Great rallies, power, and proper wizardry :D
Yes!!! o good and funny
With Anastasia was not bad either
yess me too, so far this is one of my favourites games. 👍👍🌹
My favorite game--Pongfinity vs adam---
And that has nothing to do that Dora is a nice, fine looking woman
? :) :P. Although I'm not sure what you mean by proper wizardy ;)
I love the attitude she had throughout the game. Never frustrated, just having fun even when she lost important points. She seems so much powerfull and bubbly at the same time.
This was the most enjoyable video I've seen of yours from the game perspective. Dora is incredibly clutch and played much better when she was behind. The fact that she gave up some points that last game and came through hard when she was down made this content really exciting!
czcams.com/video/N2EJbLyK4G8/video.html :v
Good analysis. One other gal he played got very cautious when behind. Dora increased her focus and attacked, risky, but I think the best chance to get out of a hole.
Love the fact she's writing about the psychology of table tennis -- it's a much more a cerebral game than many give it credit for, and mental toughness is a key component to success.
yes drive you crazy to lose so much points when sometimes you play so "good". But table tennis table has the weird effect of making you feel the best onfew points when you're actually bad on the long term. I losed so much game by being pissed off of my bad moves, too much nerves give this extra push to the ball that put it ouside the lines :-( . so ys Tennis table i think is very very mental sport.
Cerebral is the right word. Learning real TT is completely different from the "Ping Pong" we grew up with. So many strokes and strategies, and, for each, so many of the right responses. It is mind boggling to watch matches like this one!
@@macmoss7170 even finding out about all the rubber and how often to change it is mind boggling and trying to find the right one that suits your style of play.
I met Dora a few years back at an event at Spin in NYC. She was such a sweetheart - gave me some really excellent coaching tips and also gave me a copy of her book. This video was epic - go Dora - you're amazing! [Also, subscribed!]
and cats can fly

Another great match to watch. I have said it before BUT this sort of match is MUCH more enjoyable (in many ways) to watch than say the top matches of the top stars.
Some great LONG rallies and an impressive array of different shots.
I only discovered this channel a few days ago, and I binged a few, especially the Japanese family. But this is simply better ping pong. Her foot work is superior, she moves with purpose, always has a plan (or two), and despite her quickness on the ball, she fluidly slows the pace down when advantageous. I've played a lot of bangers on the PB court who can't reliably transition from their habitual hard and heavy spin to an easy dink into a wide-open half-court. But Dora is so proactive with her footwork, she can channel both gears on demand.
Very few of the other opponents on this channel could force Adam to respond in attack mode, and then keep enough pressure on him that he finally misses the table long. Adam's strong suit is keeping the ball in play, whether he has to crouch, lunge, dive, or spin. Dora managed to walk him off the back of the table (i.e. finally hitting too long) by punching a series of hard, low balls right up the gut with superior pace and precision. Some of the other opponents on this channel persist in hitting smashes that many of their other opponents can't consistently return, barely seeming to comprehend that Adam is almost in cruise control on this diet, like a snake swallowing an entire pig that seems far too big for the snake, but somehow it fits.
Unlike many of the others, Dora instantly starts feeding him off-pace dribblers after his deep snake crouches, and Adam soon calculates that he's in for a world of thigh burn if he lets her continue to work him up and down.
In the NHL of yore, there were goalies who used to open up a fake hole, and then snap the leather when the sniper targeted the fake hole. Some of the snipers just couldn't help themselves, and they would keep shooing in futility at these fake holes. But Dora would have had this figured by her third shift and soon the goalie wouldn't be confident whether she was going to snipe at the fake hole or not (especially with her fluid ability to lay off the pace at the last second)-leaving him uncertain and out of position-and then pretty soon he'd be shutting down the entire fake-hole ruse.
That's what happened to Adam here. After bagging Capone, Eliot Ness decides to put the entire _Kill Bill_ Deadly Viper Assassination Squad out of business, and the snakes don't stand a chance.
What are off-pace dribblers?
I still don't understand why snakes and high lobs didn't work with Dora
Whenever i watch an Adam video - i cant stop at one! Most entertaining sport coverage I know - and with your corny editing and fun attitude but with a human touch and always some real life back story - just enough and plenty of action. Hail to you sir. And keep pinging the pong.
That was amazing ! And you put up a good fight Adam, plus the editing and the good vibe were on point. That’s great to see such nice ambassadors of the sport !!
Thank you Adam
Awesome editing! What a pleasure to watch. You guys are super fun - competitive but light-hearted.
Awesome games, great to see coach+athlete writing about mental toughness, and Pingpod sounds sweet!
Thanks so much for these videos, Adam! I never imagined I would love watching table tennis videos as much as I do. I am starting to understand for myself at least that these videos are as much about being a decent and respectful person as they are about the sport you love. If ever I am feeling down or at odds with the bad news I see in the world, all I need to do is watch one of your videos. I am proudly one of those subscribed to this excellent channel.
Dora, I will look for your book.
This was a perfect storm: 1) The Pingpod concept is a strong business model for truly bringing table tennis into the realm of popular sports at a high level 2) Dora authoring table tennis-specific books that are not just about strokes or table-play and 3) Adam stepping it up a notch to promote and widen his audience.
Love your channel, which I've just found. Love Table Tennis, great you want to open it more to the world. Keep up the great Videos and commitment to TT, I personally never use the term PP to describe TT 😊.
My favorite thing about this match, in addition to the incredibly entertaining rallies, is how Dora would compliment Adam when he'd win a really tough point. "Very nice. Good job, that was great!" How wholesome can you get?
I heard someone does this to win as it tricks your mind to believe that you are doing great. :P I think it was a tennis player
She get's stronger from set to set 🤩 So unreal and so much fun to watch 👍🏼
The dude wasn't even trying to attack, he was just defending.
@@michaeltrumph121 he always plays more defensivily, i dont think that his point is to beat his guest but rather to make his guests shine.
@@michaeltrumph121 he likes playing 'snake shots' from distance...kinda defensive yanno
her style reminds me of Mikael Appelgren, a former player in swedish national team.. consistant, with a lightning fast return and , if needed excellent placement of the ball. one of your best opponents so far
Yes brother, Applegrent was the king before Jan Owe came about.
Keep pretending. You know nothing about the sport.
@@anthonyg155 damn bro who hurt you
@@anthonyg155 what is your rating
@@anthonyg155 yeah, and ure the expert??
Dora's technique, footwork, placement are so good. inspiring! love watching her play! And Adam too!
I really like her fire and her passion, as others said: probably one of your best content. Thank you for sharing this with us Adam and thank you Dora for playing with Adam
Thank you Dora and Adam for a beautiful game! It was like a demonstration game for me, how to response, control and keep accurate and consistent!! Thanks alot!!
I've known Dora for a while. Great CZcams videos, excellent instructor. Adam knows everybody :-))) Keep the videos coming! Merry Xmas
This match up is the best of all videos that I have watched of yours. She is consistent and quick and powerful.
Stumbled upon your channel and I love it. Use to play for fun, decades back, gonna look for ping pong club in area, totally exited again. 🕺
The most enjoyable game I've watched. Dora was fantastic. Thanks to both of you.
awesome as always... btw you can tell with every set she became more and more serious and by the third set he was done for, I do love the fact she took him seriously and not just a joke she can beat with closed eyes as many other contestants did (and failed) ;) its always nice when you can play a serious match while still having fun like these two did/had ... whatever ;)
Gorgeous backhand, Dora. Very elegant. Killer Forehand also, very consistent. Always love Adams defensive game.
Adams style is definitely a rhythm breaker, he keeps changing the pace that would shake most players up that are trying hard, it almost seems like he’s not trying, but his precision and accuracy with his arsenal of different strikes and counter attacks is crazy, even if he’s extremely outclassed here
I can't even imagine how well Dora would play if she didn't take time off for school - so amazing! Looking forward to following her play
What's enviable is that she seems to have combined her great love into a career that relates to her academic specialty. We should all be so fortunate.
Goodness me, the recent uploads on your channel are just fantastic! Every single game you play is so fun to watch🔥 keep it up!
Favorite match in your entire channel. That counterloop rally was insane!
She’s got it ! Fun to watch , i am hooked ! There is a couple shots in there you did that were unreal ,
amazing stuff . New subscriber , thx Adam
That was beautiful, you can see that both are focused and pumped to win, and having a lot of fun too :)
When Adam Bobrow and TableTennisDaily upload on the same day you know it’s gonna be a good day!
Very enjoyable to watch . haven't played in over 20 years but this reminded me of the fun I had when I used to play.thanks for sharing
Easily one of the most entertaining matches on your channel. The focus was unmatched!
Szép volt, Dóra! :D
Dora is adorable!
aDORAble
Not gonna lie, I said that exact same thing before reading your comment 🤣
Simps
You can't spell adorable without dora 🤣🤣
Neš jebati.
That was absolutely incredible to watch.. wow! Dora is an absolute machine, it's like the attacks just never stop.. even "block" shots have amaing power.
very well plyed, both of you!
The way Dora played table tennis against Adam is just so inspiring. I've never seen such a great talent in a long while. I was in awe watching Dora played the way I was awed as a kid when I watched Michael Jordan played live against the Utah Jazz.
"Michael Jordan... Open... Chicago with the lead!!"
Thanks Adam and Dora. I enjoy reading Dora's book. (Get your game faceon) 💯
LOL this isn't available in Filipines yet. BTW You are the greatest TT teacher with a fake personality. Thanks, teacher (whoever you are).
do u think it'll help angry gamers who have no interest in ping pong?
@@y2kenh If not interested in ping pong (assuming you think table tennis) then i don't think that book or emrat can help them.
Do you recommend that book, is it good? Because I have some problems when important matches come, and maybe bigger troubles I have when the score is very tense (11-11, 12-12...).
Thank you very much for your interest in my question.
Daniel
@@tabletennis1237 Please read the "Rui Lopez" opening book. It will also improve your mental game of table tennis.
One of your best videos, she is awesome, her play so clean, attacking, good reactions… enjoyed to watch the whole match! 🏓🎄
this game is soooooooo gooooooooooooood. Her style is very enjoyable to watch. those low quick smash return from her is crazy
I love the way he makes the opponents tired with his volleys. I used to do this back in the days when i was under 19 and won many championships in my country. Absolutely love these videos.. entertaining!!
We are proud of her from Hungary!!🇭🇺🇭🇺
She's so precise it's insane, congrats she's hella good, also good video ty
I got recommended some of your videos on my homepage and I saw some amazing plays and tricks by you. The only compliment I can give is that if there ever is a hyped up Table Tennis anime, I hope they feature some of your tricks and explanations and also feature you in it somehow.
Your videos are highly addicting , and ASMR😂😂 and make me wanna play 😂 keep up man ! And you need more exposure , more subsss ! You got mine
Damn Game 3 was like BEAST MODE from Dora.... awesome games and how cool, writing a book about the psychology of ping pong and life lessons. AWE-Inspiring for sure! A valuable human being.
hi!! love you adam !!!!!!!! loved the vid!!!!! when is adam in india part 3 coming pls reply! it would make my birthday great!!!!!
Adam your videos are so much fun to watch. Really well done with your channel
Such a refreshing channel. Keep up the good work!
Dora rocks, great passion for the table tennis community. We're lucky to have her.
The table tennis is amazing, but I'm more impressed with the pronunciation of Eötvös Loránd 😅
P.s. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
Yeah, almost perfect.
I enjoyed a lot this encounter! Very beautiful energy, it remembered me when I was a teenager and used to play with my cousin for hours and hours in such a beautifully end relaxing and powerful way.
I will read her book, you are an amazing example of ping pong’s evangelists 👍❤️
Thanks for these videos Adam. I would like to know more about you. I just discovered your channel few days ago.
Just had to watch this again. I still rank this the most entertaining game. Both players have a best attitude it's the only way to play a sport and enjoy yourself.
Adam, thanks for bringing Dora to your channel, I'm in love
That backhand flip kill at 6:36 is amazing. Like watching Kreanga.
Hyper aggressive Dora, love to see it! Attacks every point at every time. Your not half bad yourself Adam, nice format for a channel on the nobel art of ping defense!
Keeping the fabulous game aside, the editor deserves a raise. That is really cool and nice editing there
She's criminally good! Undoubtedly the best match on this channel!
I think you deserve a rematch with a larger space. Great match!
support this sport its so cool. I feel every point and its nice to see your matches
Very impressive consistency and fast low ball returns, I don't remember seeing any pro played uniquely like her.
Very satisfiying watching her, so powerful style
8:16 ...what an amazing point!! ...I love to watch all the match!..amazing players!!!!!!!!
Holy mackerel that's awesome playing by both players. Dora and Adam are no joke. Great video
25 year ago I played tennis table for 1 year in a club when I was young then stopped, and 2 years ago I discovered your channel, from here I never missed a video It's always fun / amazing / interesting
I like her style very much! And that backhand hit is awesome!!! Hajra Magyarok!!!!!
The girl is a killer shark. No holding back, no pity, just wants to finish you off with every attack as quick as possible. Not too deep into finesse, but very aggressive and very consistent. Love this style.
Fav match!! She is so inspiring and one of the greatest female players!! Loved your game Dora
Adam your controlling of the ball is simply amazing but looks like Dora is up there with you she knows what is coming and how to return it . Was real pleasure watching both play . Bring on more
😱 these rallies in this game!! Also quality matches Dora! Kudos!
I liked the game so much..
How Adam went from his game to playing her game.. No way to recover then.. Awesome Dora atlast someone did it..😆👍👍
Love those inspirational books. Years ago there was a book called "The inner game of tennis", that could very well fit any sport. As i have played both tennis & table tennis i recommend that as an excellent read.
I love your videos, Adam. And I'm not a big tennis follower. Very upbeat and fun.
Dora is a great talent. As you said in the video she's very consistent and reads the game really well, which isn't easy against a player like you Adam, with your various tricks.
I wish yous had have played a best of 11 sets, that was some awesome table tennis.
For me this is the best match of the channel. She's incredible.
Hi Adam! I love your talent! I would like you to try the VR Oculus Quest 2 Eleven Ping Pong game so you can tell us what you think about the closeness to reality it offers. Thanks for the awesomeness of your channel! :-)
I LOVE that fast serve response. I like to try it when I play, but I am far from precision ... for now =)
these pingpods are an awesome idea!
love it... keep em coming
Traditional 'old'-style table tennis, like in 'my' time in the late 80's, early 90's, excellently played. She's got a very good feeling for placement and is not easily fooled by him. Her footwork is somehow unorthodox. She looks slow, but is in good position to the ball most of the time. She's obviously very seasoned.
i love these games. especially when "what happen" guy makes an appearance
Adam's defense seems amazing. Especially , the below table level returns. Oh, and the over the lights also
czcams.com/video/hpQfHlsV8g4/video.html
Dora is an amazing player & quite cute as well !
I watched this video more than 20 times, and i can’t stop rewatching it, this game is so awesome!
Love her ability to adapt to your doo-doo. She's awesome! 😁
Amazing match Adam. Really like your videos but I always feel that you can play better and stop taking points advantage dude 😂😂
Why ?
Like just why????
@@divyaswaroop ?
Ikr it's annoying AF
I feel like if he included some nip slips or bouncing melons, I would subscribe.
it was the best video on adam's channel so far, watching her playing was so fun i mean did she do that amazing player ;
Dear Adam. Thank you so much for the Joy you bring All over the World. It's awesome Awesome how you act with the People. 🙏❤
Cute and deadly, gives amazon vibes. The camera angle really helps to show the intensity of the game, something lacking in olympic broadcasts
I'd love to know what equipment she plays. Adam: you should start doing "What's In The Bag": golf and other sports talk about the equipment the players use. Cheers
Wow, her short stroke is SO good. Even when you surprised her, with a sudden fast shot (so she can't wind-up) she does this "FLICK," with her wrist, and it's insanely accurate and FAST.
And, she seems so sweet & nice.
Best match so far! Beautiful to watch ☺️
Dora's style is so out of a teaching book 😍 its really perfect
The rally on game 3 was amazing! It’s amazing what Dora had achieved in life. Incredible athlete and done her parents proud academically
I just discovered the channel and I love it. I would so love to play table tennis again... I hope PINGPOD will come to Sweden...!!! I would wanna play every day.
Thanks Adam I so love your videos and playing table tennis. Dora was a fierce competitor and the 5 yr old pro was awesome and of course, Anastasiia who is so amazing also. I am 72 and playing better than I ever have.
