when i saw "Ai" and "Japan" while glancing through the title, i thought the japanese came up with a robot that could play table-tennis.

[NoSpeechForTheDumb]

Thank god the time when speed was the only dimension in table tennis is over.

[jayjaymatt]

@NoSpeechForTheDumb lol, are you being sarcastic?

[NoSpeechForTheDumb]

@jayjaymatt No, I'm serious. I hate counter driving. It's an obsolete technique. It only survived for warm up and in women's table tennis because many of them are not capable of playing a solid powerful topspin, and obviously that's exactly why Fukuhara is so good at it.

[jayjaymatt]

@NoSpeechForTheDumb Yeah but if you look at the top players ma long xu xin, ma lin, wang hao, and i suppose zhang jike, they all have massive forehands, they may not be close to the table counter hits but they beat most of their opponents because other players can't handle their pace, timo boll being the exception. i think there isnt much room for subtlety in todays game just whoever can hit the hardest wins, which is kinda boring.

[NoSpeechForTheDumb]

@jayjaymatt The main difference between a counter drive and a topspin or smash is that with

the counter you do not produce speed yourself, but merely play with the opponent's speed, which in my oppinion is an annoying passive paradigma.

All players you mentioned have very strong strokes and produce pressure on their opponents nearly all the time with their own spin and speed, thus their game is not bound to the opponent's playing style.

if you type in " worlds fastest ping pong" those two guys go even faster, check it out it's a great video

[noreaction1]

[shishamu]

PFFT i could do that >_> i just dun wanna

[Re1Mu2R3]

She has consistent forehand here but in a game she uses her short pips backhad 70% of the time.

[eps0n]

@Re1Mu2R3 haha lol totally right , he never use forehand xD

[itsme330]

looks like the older girl won the point :)

[Rockygem23]

[LordAlton]

@Rockygem23  make a video and proove thjs xD

[AmandaG96]

OMG!!!! I didnt know this is Ai Fukuhara. 12 years old ONLY!!!!....

[LordAlton]

@AmandaG96 you are jokeing, aren't you?

this video is from 2001 - so now she is about 20 years old

[99knight]

i can do that with a tea spoon XD

[jamfreddie]

I know some official person probably checked it, but that net looks a little slack to me. It seems to droop in the middle.

[isaaclhk]

If you count both their hits, it really is about 3 hits per second

[tabletennisperson]

no offence

but when zhang yining, guo yue and wang nan

were her age

they woulda beaten that record

[taufoofar]

I know they would've beaten her in a match, but Fukuhara is pretty darn fast. I'm not sure about their speed though.

[ruthlessbjur]

i WOULD haf been a billionaire as well... 2 bad...

[demystifiedwu1]

i dont know about that but yea...this doesnt reflect upon the playing skill lol.

[mohdban]

@tabletennisperson How would you know that? If they are better than her in matches, it doesn't mean they are better than her at counter hitting.

[tabletennisperson]

@mohdban well i dnt know it.....but all table tennis is brought up on the ground of basics....without basics u cant really get good at table tennis....and all the china players have very good basic table tennis skills in order to further their better skills....counter hitting being a basic in girls table tennis must have been a very big must in order to be a china player.......so im sure their counter hitting is better than ai's ^_^

[Swiffers]

fukuhara is fast. I just started noticing her the past few months.

[simonholmertz]

very good!

[ayson1210]

lol

fast forward^^

[FaNwlnG]

it is fast, but it isnt "that" fast. its almost 3 hits per second.

[suzushirou]

Haha jeez, the way he pronounces her name

"Ahhheeeeyyyyyy"

[krookedskater87]

[leanneshinkle24]
