- HERE'S THE REASON WHY HE DOESN'T TAP IT IN:
J.O. Waldner and J. Persson play one of the best points ever.
In several Million views, the most frequently asked question has been: "Why doesn't he just tap it in?".
Well, of course that can be done. It's extremely difficult to do it right, because of the massive spin, and on a high bounce the opponent can run in a kill it, or, if you're the "Mozart of Table Tennis", this is how you deal with it: Look at "Table Tennis Spectacular - Part 2"
.
For the "experts" that belittle this as "exhibition": If you can only appreciate table tennis skills that are aimed at hard core competition, you are missing so much of what makes this sport fun. Lighten up and take yourself less seriously. The best in the world can, why not you?

which pixel is the ball?
+HBA LAX the white one
The one that's moving very very fast. ...
Jan Ove Waldner was worldchampion...amazing skills..retired from most competition now. Persson was his teammate.. if you're an old fart afficianado of the game, you already know that.I know, I know.
This point is really something different because at 1:43, like the commentator says: "Looks like someone threw it in from the other side" it is true in deed. But not only that. The ball also CHANGES DIRECTION AS IT LANDS. How is that even possible??
When someone manages to hit the ball around the net instead of above it, it's usually considered something spectacular in table tennis. But what Waldner does here is that he spins the ball around the net from the OTHER SIDE! And not only once but TWICE! In the same frikkin point!! Also in a televised match! Has this ever happened before? I doubt it.
ges
It doesn't come from the other side. It's just so high that the camera angle makes it look like that.
@@johnwang3785 Could you elaborate?
a little bit exhibition one mite say. but the poise control of waldner is so enjoyable to watch. and his power shots so crisp. a legend for sure in this game.
For all those who think that a dropshot would have ended the point quickly, y'all don't know your table tennis.
I said that so many times as well years ago and explained the physics of it all
Only 2 words can describe this:
Awe Some
ass some?
Lamesters Not funny. Why does this have 30 likes?
Jan Ove Walder and Jorgen Pearson two legends of Table Tennis. They are fellow compatriots from Sweden and have won medals at Olympic, World, and European level.
Great Exhibition for the game of Table Tennis.
A sport so intense they actually change the materials and equipment just to slow it down for people to watch.
change the speed to 0.5 then skip to 1:20 and revel in the stoned commentary
+dylan sach Your comment has not gotten the recognition it deserves.
bruh my table tennis coach is one of the commentators :)
for those who don't play table tennis, its difficult to explain why he keeps on hitting the ball so hard.. but he's doing the right thing.. its not easy to just tap the ball short with that amount of spin..
1:37 "how is there a camera up there" lol
but how?! this is realy sick man
The best! "The forever green tree". The king, J-O Waldner and his prince Jörgen Persson
"the ever green tree" does it again!!!
Forest Gump would tear these guys apart. xD
Kris hammer Gump is not real...you know that, right?
Alex Dante Yes hence the XD
Alex Dante jokes exist right... you do know that? Or are you so succumbed to the fact that no one can post a joke on here, referencing a movie, without being criticized?
LOL
Kris Hammer
All of these guys have cat-like reflexes and exceptional hand-eye coordination. I can't even see the ball half the time because it is moving so quickly.
this is hardcore :D
With the yellow player so far back you'd think the blue would lobby a soft strike to fake him out?
the ball is coming to fast, with to much spin to do that.
ah yeah, makes sense.
Yeah, probably the are doing it right
the balls running in the air is 。。。so weird
Eddie Huang -- Yes, I believe the ball at around 1:40 hit a lamp or something and bounced back down on the table.
fantastic!!!!!!!!
ребята показали невозможное!!!!
I can do that.
Grab my beer.
I have played witjh J. Persson in school :) 21-0 i loose.
Tompa C är du svensk
It's hard to just 'lightly' hit the ball due to the amazing spinning force put on the ball. They don't just lob the ball, they put a large spin on it, and hitting the ball can literally send the ball off in a random direction. You can see the spinning force clearly from how the highest lob soars down from the opposite direction back onto the table.
Peco vs. Akuma
why didn't the blue shirt player go for a short shot while the other one was so away from table?
Josh Penbar if he did, most likely it would be against him since the ball will always end up high enough giving time to the opponent to run and smash it. So it creates an advantage for the opponent..
Josh Penbar have you played it? the spin makes it hard to control, could go wrong and the other comes in to smash.
***** Before you call it dumb and pointless, do some research.
There was massive spin on the ball, and if he attempted to do a short shot, the short shot would be a high bounce, so Waldner would sprint in and smash the ball in Persson's face.
+firendable Yea, but you have to take in account of the spin, usually pros spin it in a way where if the opponent tries to smash anywhere else, the ball would go out flying without hitting the table. Also, your reaction cant always be perfect, they hit it so fast, that you dont have time to think exactly where you want the ball to go, so hitting towards the opponent might be their only option. Heck, sometimes its so fast that just hitting the ball and hoping it lands correctly might be your only option. If hitting away from the opponent always works for you, then i would guess that your opponents cant do a good enough spin, or are too close to be able to get it.
firendable you're saying that like its so simple and easy... Also you cant always tell what spin they have on the ball to able to counter spin it, since they always switch it up, well sorta. btw, that's just one thing, what about all the other common circumstances that i listed?
Just love Waldner. Nice game from both side. Expecting similar games in London 2012.
And they're Swedish!
People who don't play ping pong think this point is amazing. It was just a few high lobs. Nothing special.
Right...
***** Hey. I won't judge you.
The amount of spin he puts on that first big lob was amazing don't kid yourself a lob with that kind of spin is not common.
How many world titles do you have, James?
ROFL
I have seen this rally more than a dozen times. I bet I am not the only one.
"40 feet in the air" Lmao. Not even close
Uhh, hello.. Just tap it in.
Wasn't it obviously a joke?
fu tap It in imbecile. you cannot tap in a super spinning corkscrew or killer top
christ, the amount of precision and power combined together.....
The guy who kept spiking it should've just hit it softly to the other side
+ScareCr3w Explained in the description.

You don’t know table tennis: Waldner (yellow) in the defense spins highly the balls with top spins and sends them in an high trajectory. With this 2 features the impact on the table will be too strong and will be impossible to responde with that kind of shot
Everyone saying "hurr durr just tap it in" needs to read the description, because it's very accurate.
It's nearly impossible to effectively "tap it in" when the balls is coming off of a lob with that much topspin. Your opponent would easily be able to read your body language when you didn't "wind up" for another smash, so a drop shot would be super obvious.
You would attempt to drop shot, and the height of the bounce combined with the massive topspin would make the ball pop up; an easy opening
Waldner is a legend.
Hello, tubesockshakur. Well said! I agree with you. I have seen quite a few people bothering to refer to table tennis in order to praise other sports like soccer. Every sport has its best to amaze people and this video is definitely one of them, isn't it?!
they did put a show, it was amazing and it blow my mind away
U gotton watch this!!!! Trick shots performed by 2 very talended gals.
On those two high returns, I just have to wonder how much of that was sheer luck. Awesome either way.
i use to play table tennis back in the day ! great sport
The filming from above is really a mind blower.
The commentator is Danny Seemiller...won many many national titles ..in the 1970's mostly.
Amazing!
Looks like a Russell Howard spoof sketch, but seriously that was fun to watch.
I don't watch much table tennis competitions, but this is amazing. Well, y'know, for pingpong.
that's a comeback
LIKE a BOSS
The counter attack was amazing.
Amazing!!!!
that counter attack omg LOL epic!!!!
1:33 what a great angle for that shot. so cool
This is the best point i have ever seen, damn it! RESPECT guys! :)
wow. this looks incredibly hard. they must have amazing hand-eye coordination.
yeah thanks for the response, as I'm playing in my freetime pretty regulary, I found out that a light ball is also pretty hard to play if the ball has a defined spin + speed^^
Table tennis is my favorite.
Spectacular is a good word for this
this is amazing
@infiniteDefinitives Have you ever played table tennis? There is so much spin on the returned ball that he needs to hit it hard and just go for the middle of the table. If you hit it loose, the spin gets grip on the racket and the very lightweight ball spins off in an almost uncontrollable direction (i.e. probably misses the table). But this also means that the ball will be returned more or less directly to the opponent. Also the defender usually misses sooner or later.
Ainda chego neste nível
You know, it's funny, I usually do read the description. It helps a lot. Sometimes, I'm in your position where I get to act smart and make someone else look stupid for not reading the description. It's hilarious most of the time because some people go ballistic over something that's answered right under their nose. Now that I'm in the opposite position, I feel stupid. I'm no idiot, nor do I think I'm pro at teh internetz (although I'm pretty good), but at this moment, I feel like slapping myself
All of my heroes, are table tennis players. Zoran Primorac, Jan-Ove Waldner, Wang Tao, Jorg Rosskopf and of course Ashraf Helmy. I even have a life-size poster of Hugo Hoyama on my wall. And the first time I left my home town of Pennsylvania, was to go to the hall of fame induction ceremony of Andrzej Grubba.
the ball has a ton of spin on it. So when he was in t he back position that he was (you have to roughly match your opponents) a quick dash forward would be matched by the other guy doing the same thing and then spooking it down.
thanks for the insight. also i just realized that the small size of the table and the direction (angle relative to the net) of the incoming ball makes the choice of the direction in which you can send the ball back, very limited..
Music to my ears.
que capo que soyyy siiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, JP!!!!
I love this game...
was so convinced it wasn't real haha, what incredible skill
what can you learn from this?
NEVER give up!
@SnowyHaze Good point. I don't see why smashers don't lightly tap the ball and easily win a point after they got the lobber into a nice rhythm.
You're not the only one finding it hard to believe what you see when J.O.Waldner (your "other guy") is playing. Jörgen Persson ("blue guy") is also a world class player. (They are both former world champions.)
They both master every part of the game, so most matches involving one of them is worth watching. Lots of footage available here and elsewhere. Search and enjoy!
wow! new respect for sport!
That was brilliant!!!
Yes as the title says, SPECTACULAR.
MARAVILHOSO
the yellow guy is a ninja
This is madness!
thats called sportsmanship
i love this sport
aw man i fricken love table tennis, best thing to do while having a few drinks with your mates on friday night ;)
i'm saying how good they are before i even watch this that's a promise lol!
เวลาโดนหยามแบบนี้ มันเจ็บใจมากนะครับ ผมก็นักปิงปองจังหวัดเหมือนกัน !
I watched the episode 2 days ago and here i am now reading this comment. Wonderful life.
Brilliant players.
Normally, they dont lob the ball but this was a show match. And yes you put the spin in the ball to make the return harder. you only lob when you are in a difficult situation or you are a defender
That dude was EPIC:D
The guy in orange (Jan-Ove Waldner) is one of the best table tennis players in history and the only non-Asian who's won an Olympic gold. The guy in blue (Jörgen Persson) has placed fourth in the Olympics twice and has won the world championships once and placed second once, both games against the guy in orange. In 97 they placed second together in the team's world championship, the same year Waldner went on to take the singles gold with 21-0 in sets. These guys are definitely not bad players.
I have a new respect for ping pong players, amazing!!!!
wow yeah he's right... Best table tennis point ever..
Damn goosebumps struck me again
How the hell did I get here from Mozart's requiem ? XD
What a rally!! Cool video.
@BULD0SIS I used to think that as well but the fact is that the ball is too fast hit to be hit back slowly without recoiling slowly with the ball but then the opponent will come forward as well.
i dont watch, play table tennis, and from watching this hats of to them, great atheletes
Waldner is one of the best players of all time
j-o the greatest of all time
insane skills !
It's the spin on the ball. If you try to just tap it when it's moving that slow (vs. someone who knows how to play) then chances are the ball isn't going to go the direction you want it to.
That's awesome :)
TENNIS-THE BEST PLAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Waldner: the best TableTennis player EVER!
very good player spirit, they opted to give spectacle in long shot, because it could have ended quickly placing the ball on the table slowly
very nice table tennis
I wish I was that badass at table tennis.
