Hey PingSkills,
I want to know who you and Jeff, (and the new guy in the videos) rate as your favourite player and why. My favourite player is Timo Boll because i like his style of play, big topspins from the middle court.
Hi Tevia,
Great question! My favourite player is Waldner. I used to love watching him play because of his diversity. He had a great all round game and could play any stroke in the book. He was also considered by many to be the greatest male player ever.
We'd love to hear the thoughts of all our readers. Let us know who is your favourite player and why.
No doubt, Waldner is the best ever!!
But I enjoy watching Wang Li Quin. His perfection of movements is amazing. It is the meaning of power top and side back spins.
my favourites from 1 being the best and 10 still being a favorite but not as much as the others
1. Jan-Ove Waldner
2. Ma Long
3. Ma Lin
4. Ryu Seung Min
5. Timo Boll
6. Wang Hao
7. Wang Liqin
8. Joo Se-Hyuk
9. Kalinikos Kreanga
10. Vladimir Samsonov
I too like Ma Long because of his forehand loops......very consistent !!!
ma long is my fav player because of his fast loops
i changed my mind my fav already is wang liqin.....and ma long will be my no.2
1.Ma Lin=Fast and very very very great.
2.Wang Hao=Very good spin and also fast and very good at the rally.
3.Jan Ove Waldner=Great lober and also fast.
i like waldner very much
does any body his blade and rubbers
Yes i am a penholder but as a beginner it was the shakehand grip. The all start wen i was 6 my friend with was chinese he told my that there is another style of play and i in my head:Wwwwhhhhhaaaaattttt!
I like the penholder grip because.
It is a lot easyer for to play.
Short an simple. Wen i took the play seriously is wen i began to penholders in play like Ma Lin and Wang Hao. Thats all Judah.
Sorry for the misses i was stresst.

my favourite player at the moment is Ma Long, he has hit some superb shots, and of course who would go against the world number 1, but waldner has achieved so much. if i had to chose a european player, without a doubt it would be timo, i just love his fairplay attitude, whether it costs him the match or not, fairplay is the way to play.and his shots are awesome, hes great off both wings and can change hands to play a forehand with his right hand, which i greatly admire, so much so im practising that myself right at this time, as a trick shot if my percentage to win the point is limited. But the whole of the chinese national team have their own quaities which i like, so keep it up, just wish the europeans could catch them
Hi

I very like Ma Long because his powerful shots and his placement of his serve. I also like Timo Boll because his huge coverage and his Reverse Pendulum serve. I heard this two players have the most spinny topspins for ever.
top 5 Fav players of all time are:
1. Ma Long
2. Chen Qi
3. Jan-Ove Waldner
4. Timo Boll
5. Wang Li Qin
I really favour Shakehand grip players. Nothing on the penholders, you guys are awesomely sick! It's just that i like Shakehanders more.
Sorry, Jonathan
It's a shame am never going to be like them. i'm already in my second year and i can't even produce a decent counterhit. Although, i can do some decence with my topspin against backspin. I know, how is a guy supposed to do a hit like that when he can't even do the first, most basic hit ever!!!! i just placed a board of wood against the table and just practiced on that. It only does backspin and i only topspin it back so question asked!!
'sigh' so so terrible=(
If you go to Coburg TTC get involved with the coaching on a Saturday. If you haven't done this already it will be worth trying out.
sorry alois, i can't because my sister has dancing classes and they last up to 1 1/2 hours from 10 to 11.30. also, i have saturday school too. But i'll be able to go a some thursadys. I'm also getting a robot so i can practice my strokes too.
The Thursdays will be good too. Just get down there as often as you can and use your time well.
I sure will!
MY FAVORITE PLAYER IS ZHANG JIKE BECAUSE OF HIS POWERFUL BACKHAND AND HIS REVERSE PENDULUM SERVE....I ALSO LIKE HIS STYLE ON ALWAYS GOING ON A BACKHAND FLICK....ALTHOUGH MA LONG ALWAYS WINS..ZHANG JIKE GIVES HIM MORE TIME TO BEAT HIM..
Favorite attacker: Kalinikos Kreanga
Favorite all-arounder: Vladimir Samsonov
Favorite defender: Joo Se Hyuk
Favorite style: Timo Boll, Ma Long
my fav is wang hao because of his attacking skill he is really fast in rpb and forehand topspin
In my opinion JO is the best and hes one of my favorite player, bcoz of his gracefully playing style and hes EPIC serves..hes calm and can read the game
Zhuang Zhedong xD
My favourite player n.1 is Mizutani - for his serve and also smart and strong hits
2. is Ovtcharov - his serve and backhand and he is one of the best players in Europe
and 3. is Wang Hao - his grip of bat and backhand
:)

3. zhang jike
4.kowi niwa
