Once again we see that 39 is not retired age in table tennis. You have chances to win highest world class trophies at age of 39 if you want. Hou Yingchao once again confirmed that. Great efforts, great performance of the veteran. And interesting table tennis in this final match. A lot of it is because of the new LIGHTWEIGHT DHS balls, which is a little more lightweight than other usual heavyweight balls. Lightweight balls fly slowly because of air resistance, so that ball speeds are in range of possible human reaction. There for players can react and can applies various techniques in games. Hou Yingchao of course plays well, but these lightweight balls give him chance and give more interesting table tennis. Congratulation to Hou Yingchao and beautiful table tennis. This kind of table tennis with lightweight balls will get more audience and attracts more social players. It is better and entertaining than "reaction contest" matches with heavyweight balls and 1-2-3 touches per episode. Japanese heavyweight balls, for example Nittaky balls, leaded table tennis to action contest, very bored and poor techniques, not game show. You should stop buy old heavyweight balls. ITTF must officially announce the new official ball weight , for example ball weight 2grams. The current ball weight 2.7grams is so heavyweight.
I've watched Hou Yingchao over many years and this is the best I've seen him play in a long time. His variety with the short pimps is excellent and he gets an incredible amount of backspin with side against heavy loop. His forehand loop with the pure sidespin variation makes him so awkward- and dangerous. I'm still surprised though!

i guess once he left national team he also left all the pressure and politics from the team, and finally can play with passion and love....if you watch his game from national team time, it was not that fun to watch....
I'm so impressed. I've seen him live once or twice and he did not play anywhere at this level, so i'm so happy for him and hope he keeps this winning streak going!
@@victordalmont1404 Really! I have to admit that I don't follow TT 100% but I watched many videos from UA-cam for the past 10 years. I never saw Hou until yesterday in a match he won against another Chinese player. Was he a nobody back then? It is extremely rare to become so good at age 39.
@@benthekeeshond545 seems you only see tt in recent 10 years, Hou has already been national champion of China 20 years ago, when he was 19 and has always been one of the best chopper of the world since then

It’s not just that he’s playing pretty well, the equipment changes creates an environment where these types of players will excel. Because most players are used to the adjusted loop drive, not many have a hard shot off of an under spin ball anymore. That makes it really bad against choppers with variety.
What's all this hate for choppers? They are a necessary ingredient in table tennis to give it much needed variety, as well as entertainment, something table tennis severely lacks at the top level outside of the odd few like Xu Xin.
Ouch. Hou is so determined. Not easy at all. Zhou Qihao is not patient enough, i.e. wait for easier ball to rip, and not aggressive enough and let Hao attack.
Do you guys he get any reversal when he chops with spectol (if it is spectol ) Or its pure no spin or heavy spin and side spin obviously ?Anyone any ideas ?
He is good for sure. But honestly Europeans are mostly better against deffenders than those tier 2 oder tier 3 chinese players. The win against LJK was exceptional of course!
@@srsav3kkknosk1llsen Well theres a huge different between FZD/ XX/ ML/ LGY/ LGJ and the rest. Hou played in Europe for years and its not like he won every game in the polish or austrian league.
@@mallballer7999 There is not a huge difference I cant agree on that. If you watch the CSL results many games are pretty close. The problem is that most of these elite CSL players never get the chance to prove themselves outside China. You forgot Wang Chuqin in your list ;). Regarding your argument of playing in other leagues and not winning everything : its also an aspect of training environment. Give FZD/ML a couple of years in another foreign league with lower training partners and league standards and you will see similar results. The fact that Hou is a defender also should be implemented (even if its a minor factor).
Hou Yingchao should think: man the kids nowadays have totally no power during attack when did you guys see me counter loop when I was in national team playing with those powerful monsters like Chen Qi WangLiQin?
I do not understand why these young lads keep on putting as much spin into their serves as possible: More spin = more control for long pips in the receive game... I would have tried varying the placement and speed with lots of empty serves, so that HYC isn't able to be active or dominant on the ball.
10:37 Hou pulled a Chen Weixing's signature move. Lol.
haha exactly what i thought!!
If you don't pull up your pants, you are not a good chopper. HAHA
Effortless playing style. Hou is an absolute pleasure to watch 🫡
