He is the most entertaining and explosively talented table tennis player I have ever seen! Even being more of a showboating player he has had a pretty good career- 1 olympic bronze,WTTC bronze,European champion.
For such a tall player he is very agile. His footwork combined with his length enables him to get to shots most others wouldn't be able to make. Combined with those backhand shots... holy crap! What I also found amazing was how many players found his high backhand topspin balls so difficult to finish. Very often they hit it JUST behind the net and after a few times of Maze returning it again somehow they just couldn't do it. Simply amazing.
Wow, just WOW! Believe it or not, I've actually heard people say that table tennis wasn't a sport, including a popular radio commentator in Phoenix. So many people have such small universes.
@@krecik317 yes they are more disciplined than you and is why you will never see them outside the top 3 at any given sport in the olympics,they arent robots ,they are better than you and me
anabolic stephen Well, trust me that if any other western country had 1 billion people to choose their athletes etc from they would dominate everything you mentioned
Good video, love when the audience gets into the point. I wish tennis would allow audiences to be audiences and cheer for people while they play instead of having to stay hush quiet.
What "lob" are you refering to, the brain lob or what....? If you mean a forehand (or a backhand) with an arc and heavy topspin...? That's called a loop.
He had terrible forehand/footwork technique that caused many injuries since his early 20's.Just look how much he twists his torso.He was very crafty with his shots but he lacked a sound technique biomechanics-wise.

6:11 - 6:36 The craziest thing is that after surviving MP on these two points, MM actually went on to win the match!
Maze is a legend, inspired me a lot when I was a kid!
я на нем учился
6:52 I need to learn how to do this.
flagella1337 called an cannonball loft, super tricky but with the right tap it’s doable
Is kind of hard
I think it’s called a fluke
50 years from now, machines would probably be able to do this.

Are you serious?His footwork just was terrible for a pro.He had good touch though.
One word
AMAZEing
3:20 Holy shit, I didn´t know Ovtsharov could do that.
What brutal side spin. Awesome
He is the main reason why I have become a great table tennis player
He is a true legend 🤯🔥🔥
Simply aMazing sharp shooter ... naturally born then crafted to perfection !
One of the most creative players
Wow, just WOW! Believe it or not, I've actually heard people say that table tennis wasn't a sport, including a popular radio commentator in Phoenix. So many people have such small universes.
That first clip the ball is making such a nice noise
Ah, Maze... Amazing!
Some will say Xu Xin was the king of lobbing, but this man was amazing on his prime
Why am I watching table tennis at 4am when I have school at 8
5:56 amazing
darsheal agarwalla wow
Great video. Thanks.
Only one word amazing....
indra pithak aMAZEing

The crowd sounds like the crowd from wii sports.

Chinese niggas are robots what else do you expect?

WOW! Fantastic skills!!!
Great Video!
HE'S BACK BABY!
The king of defence maze!
Can you do koki niwa
Thank you for a suggestion, I will do Koki Niwa tribute.
AMZEING player indeed :)
Lobs are quite common these days ... but Maze has amazing side spin.
Good video, love when the audience gets into the point. I wish tennis would allow audiences to be audiences and cheer for people while they play instead of having to stay hush quiet.
no one can copy his style!
I do things like this most of the time but I am a right hander
@@velekorunoski5997And not really good in comparison.
@@RalphHund what do you mean exactly?
He is Chen Wexing's best friend a.k.a The Angry Chopper
The Angry Lobber
Unbelievable!
Dima playing without the moaning is great. 😂
Du spillede sgu en gang underholdende bordtennis Maze -:)
I do the same!!!! (A few leages lower;)
Anybody else think Brad Pitt could play Maze if they ever made a movie about him? They look very alike!
Wew tt videos look so prehistoric
Godly backhand
that is mad ting
3:56
Maze - Oh that's the weirdest matchup, so different styles.
RIP Michael Maze
Maze is/was a special player. I think he never quite reached his full potential for a variety of reasons.
Please do Ryu Seung Min :)
M. Salman good playing
amazing!!!
He is from Denmark!!!
Nice vid 😉
I miss the good ol 38mm ball cuz u can create out of this world spin😅
2:05 snake shot !
He Come from denmark
He reminds me of Fabrice Santoro and Rafael Nadala in tennis.
Novak Djokovic has the same defence
Holy crap
Remind me of Randy Daytona
I think he's the real show man! haha
This guy better than matt wii sports resort
I am from denmark
0:14 no one saw this? wtf
Umbrella it was the net and then the table
@@carlsenkel1141 no it wasn't play it in slow motion
@@anishkrishanthan5036 you have probably never played table tennis if you think a ball going that fast can possibly land twice on the table
Ikr
Hey, have you ever seen xu xin playing?
OK, but 3:24 is Dima's sidespin and his point; and his bh hook-shot is even better than Maze'.
tubeist- dan you are wrong dima backhand was from whole arm and it should be from wrist
Not at all
F'n Slow Who cares what technique they used. It his technique works for him, that’s fine.
F'n Slow you should not use wrist in your backhand. The wrist should just follow the movement of the underarm
Es marquitos di palma 🤯
Great winner. Hot temper!.
did anybody else realize the ball bounced twice at 0:14?
Did he became a world champion?
wow
anyone else noticed that the ball double hit Bolls side when Maze hit it ?
No
alcomix416 l Rocket league yep
God like reaction time!
I have never seen that kinda of shot
My coach says I have a similar play style
Hao shuai disappeared after defeated by Maze
メイスの本名ってミカエル・メイスですか？読み方教えてください
da wn デンマーク人の発音聴けばミヒェルの方が正しいと思いますが、Wikipediaに書いてあるバージョンは英語のマイケルですね。(^-^)
カタカナで書けば、正しい読み方はミカール・メイスだと思います。(私はデンマーク人です)
0:13 pardon me why did they play that double bounce ??
At 0:15 it was at the net then at the table 🤷♂️
like adam bobrow style
Why are they dont play short
Sounds like bike glue, when was this match played/filmed?
When he gets really far away edgy not just hit it super soft and get him
0:16 2x bounce the ball he didnt know ampire fault
no it hit the net
Yup
Maze also could come back after losing 2 or 3 games.
Maze runner
Hard rubber and hard blade plus hard control
amazeing ;)
Mega mega omg these guys won the Chinese I’m freakin out no I’m passing out help
suprb
0:15 double bounce
Sushil Shrestha it hit the net then the table.
Sushil Shrestha It was a net ball
I definitely heard it hit table twice
@@Metow677 No, the net produces a sound because they have mics directed at the table.
Speed glue era?..
maze has tattoos on his arm?!
What is lob?
What "lob" are you refering to, the brain lob or what....? If you mean a forehand (or a backhand) with an arc and heavy topspin...? That's called a loop.
i like MM
00:14 didn't the ball hit twice? 🤨
maze is a"maze"ing ;)
Please can you do niwa koki
What happen with him? Some injury ruin his carrier?
He had terrible forehand/footwork technique that caused many injuries since his early 20's.Just look how much he twists his torso.He was very crafty with his shots but he lacked a sound technique biomechanics-wise.
@@dickn.ormous1064 Good to know. Thanks for answer.
Where is my danish gang at
Are you not entertained ???
2:03
I cannot see the ball
Why is almost every tt video filmed with a potato?
