Running some numbers with Xu Xin's slow motion topspin 

I loved the analysis! It's really eye opening to see just how extreme this sport can get, especially with hard data like this.

I wish we had this technology and information while watching tournaments

That's crazy man. Quality content as always.

Thanksss for this I have been analysing & trying to replicate xu xin from that slow-mo's for a while aswell. Thanks again for this video helped me a lot.

man this was just beautiful

Thanks for the visual examples

Interesting content! And good work with the bedsheets 🚀

you forget about the sweetspot, it's not the same to hit the ball at the corner or middle, the impact is different and therefor the result, that's why good players will hit the ball mostly in the sweetspot area... there are certain carbon blades like the SZLC series which are so hard to widen the sweetspot area but even there it's not the same outer vs inner point...

xu xin has a tacky rubber thats whh he has more contact time than normal players with tensor rubbers

You missed an important point here. When you are swinging the racquet, different parts of the racquet have different speeds. For example, the top portions of the racquet has more speed when compared to bottom portions of the racquet. Hence the amount of spin generated when the ball hits the top portion of the racquet is more when compared to the ball hitting the bottom portion of the racquet.

And still people will swear by following trough shots and closing the racket angle when topspinning.

and the thing which annoys me the most is ITTF being so persistent on the stupid side view camera angle

one thing to consider is Xu Xin's height. He's 6ft tall. If your height is less then Xu Xin probably has slightly longer arms.
