Mr. Joo is one of player who makes people motivated to Table tennis. One of my friends is going to table tennis club by Joo's inspiration. I hope that I want to see his play forever.
Pretty crazy how Wang decides to attack on some of those extremely low chops, and still gets it over the net. Although the bat twiddling is a legit part of Joo's game, that would aggravate the hell out of me lol.
One of the greatest choppers of all times. Growing up, I never liked to play with friends who were influenced by his play as their chopping skills were always far more challenging than it looked and I often repeatedly made the same mistakes not being able to recieve their well chopped spinning balls. The balls would always touch the net and not go over the net. Respect to Joo.
Everything is perfect !The quality,the game,the cuts,Joo is my favourite chopper !He borned to be table tennis player,he is in gum,with great hands and legsand many others,he is there on every ball as a man can possibly do !tt contenance !I congratulation for making video,and I hope that, I will see many others from you !Thanks
What I love is that these shots have so much spin in them and progressively they get even more. Wang Liqin puts a ton of topspin and Joo uses that and adds his own backspin, spinning the ball even faster in the same direction making for a super spun ball! Awesome match!
One of the best TT matches I have ever seen. JSH is the best defender ever and a gift to Table tennis. His matches are a welcome break from boring topspin against topspin rallies. Unbelievable control,footwork and counterattack
Amazing match Joo is so talented at the modern defensive game, I have started to adapt my style to play with long pips after being an attacking player for 20 years. Watching his matches is so inspiring
Defensive players typically use defensive rackets with inverted (smooth) rubber on the forehand and long pips on the backhand. Classic defenders, like Matshushita or Xinhua chopped from both backhand and forehand, with only occasional attacks from the forehand side. Modern defenders, like Joo Se Hyuk, or even better examples Masato Shiono and Panagiotis Gionis, either chop less with their forehand or not at all, and basically use pips for chopping on the backhand and a fast inverted rubber (ex. Tenergy 64) for looping, counter looping and swiping the ball on the forehand.
Just look at the rally beginning from 1:50 Joo receives 2 insanely difficult shots from Wang aimed perfectly at his body. Usually it is a good tactic against defenders to aim fast topspins at their bodies as its the most uncomfortable spot they can receive the ball into. Joo receives 2 killer body aimed topspins, and still manages to adjust his body position to get out of the balls way and manages to keep himself in the rally, which he wins eventually.
It is crazy to think that Wang Liqin's forehand power actually dropped dramatically after the ban of speed glue...... and before that Joo cannot get even one match from Wang
What Wang Liqin did was the typical looping attacks with different angles and speeds, plus the combination of basic skills. But Joo had some obvious weakness on his chops which couldn't threat Wang's powerful loopings, especially on his left side which Joo cannot do his counter loop at all. The game show was fantastic and exciting, that should be one of the model lessens for all ping pong lovers. Bravo!!!
I played TT few years ago but i stopped, and recently I went back to watch videos every day (i didn't have internet whan i was playing)I forgot the beauty of this sport.unfortunately my health no longer allows me to play TT, but I'll give everything i can do to play in club again. I had a similar joo's style and this guys is just the god of defense, he'got the perfect game that i always wanted to have. sorry for english
I like this matchup. An all-out offense player versus an unpredictable defender that isn't afraid to stick a few topspin wars in. And they're both around the same age (at least it seems like it). If Joo se Hyuk started out as an attacker I think he might be on par with China's newest generation of TT players (Ma Long, Xu Xin)
At the end Wang started to attack with a massive loop torch an unreachable left corner. No defense for that, with a consistent player like Wang at that time it was a matter of time to find the hole.
His strategy is more of "waiting for the right moment" sort of tactic. Since his opponent is Wang Liqin, this may not seem so relevant, but it's usually the case against the average European player. Joo's game also tires his opponents over the course of the match since each point averages longer since the offense expends more energy with continuous smashes while he sits and defends. Good stuff, OP plays. v(^__^)v
Superb match from both players. Really good forehand defensive attack from for by Joo See Hyuk. Wang should have played the same way all the match where he placed one forehand loop each side.
im a defensive player too. Joo uses his own butterfly joo se hyuk blade with backhand tsp curl p1 r and forehand tackifire drive 1.9 i wouldn't suggest you using that setup though, his bat has a very hard feel, almost like an attacking blade with a semi large head making it difficult to control chops for a beginner. it works well for him because he chops from very far away and has the skill to control them near too. i suggest you get a matsushita pro with destroyer for ur backhand to start off
@RandomStuffLookAts In the Videos of the 2011 World Championships you can see that Wang Liqin uses Stiga Rosewood NCT 5 (or NCT 7). Wang Liqin has played the Hurricane King and the special Hurricane 2 but after the speed glue interdict, he uses stiga calibra LT :-D really!! look after the Videos on ITTV :-D
@CorrectionPen He is yelling "Cho!" which basically means "Yes!!". (Literally it derives from "good point", but in usage probably the best translation for Americans is "Yes!!".
@ChessArmyCommander Keep in mind Waldner was primarily offensive. Waldner could play defense when neccessary but was a strong attacker. And don't sell Wang short. Wang has pulled some crazy points in his prime as well.
nup, his backhand is tsp long pips, and his forehand is tackifire drive which is a smooth. Its good that you enjoy attacking too, as modern defensive players HAVE to counter attack loose balls!
On a forehand chop you can pull it off with the offensive rubbers. The backhand is a different story. I can see why he would wanna switch to a slower blade if it's even true that he did switch to the matsushita pro. But I wouldn't even be surprised if he was still using the joo blade honestly. Or maybe a custom blade that they haven't released yet.
@VidsforJMB @Kwonghun Joo does not use Feint Long . He uses a special Tibhar Grass D-Tecs 1,6 mm ( I think Factory Tuned like all pro tenergy's =) hear that sound)
Defensive play is definitely less efficient, but it's so fun to watch and if you can do it fun to play. I attempt to play like this. I'm a better two wing attacker but I really enjoy the exercise I get doing this. Also at my level it really doesn't matter. It's more difficult to get good at this style but really fun. If I were a junior or cadet though I would attack as much as possible. Attackers tend to win tournaments.
@ReeceLo93 i'm not sure but I think Wang uses Stiga Rosewood NCT 5 and Stiga Calibra LT on both sides. You can see it in the videos of the World Championships in Rotterdam 2011:) I think Joo uses Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk DEF and Tibhar Grass D-Tecs on backhand and Tenergy 64 on forehand...hope I'm correct:)
i want to buy the the "hard" dhs hurricane wl off + blade with "softy"-rubbers like the sriver g3 fx... what do you think about that? in my opinion there are two best combinations: soft rubbers + hard blades or hard rubbers + soft blades
