Trevor vs. Ellie - Hard Bat Classic 2009 - All-Star Bracket Final - Game 3

[LehmannDaHero]

This may be hardbat but still it defeats the purpose of the game entirely. They are playing like inverted players (and they probably are) while hardbat opposes everything ordinary table tennis stands for. LOL do you see the irony?

[Chinesekage]

if anything people that play hardbat really well are those with the best touches

[padiltimo]

eventhough tey are using hardbat but its still good!!

[y11971alex]

Hardbat it may be, but they are not playing the classic style: they are still trying to generate maximum (top)spin.

[badpker50]

before trevor serve how comes he bounces the ball on the table? :/

[MDSguy]

@badpker50 its like tennis players bouncing the ball before they serve, no difference

[badpker50]

@MDSguy ahh i see :) thanks :D:D why do they just do what ellie does then?

[MDSguy]

[hermankatnip]

anyone who critises hardbat tt needs to realise that hardbat dont use sponge rubber bats. it reduces topspin which ruins normal tt at the toplevel as a spectacle

[EdMajinLee199999]

@hermankatnip anyone who plays hardbat and thinks they are good at tt needs to catch a clue

[Spinspiel]

@hermankatnip ruins TT at Top Level as a spectacle. Really! Seems to me more watch normal TT. Enuff said!

what is trevors last name

[ZingyDNA]

The 2 amateurs in bar bracket final are more inclined to put the ball back on the table than attack, especially Jack (blue shirt). Until you reach a certain level in TT, it's better not to attack so often like the pros, because you'll miss more than you hit.  Especially Hardbat is more suitable for defensive play with slower speed and less spin. It is old TT equipment back in the 30s, when defensive players (choppers) prevailed and rallies went for HOURS. You think that's more interesting?

[albchu]

This video demonstrates how TT is fundamentally broken as a spectator sport. The final between the basement players was far more interesting in terms of drama and style (which came from longer rally length). Watching professionals should be *more* amazing than watching amateurs. Sadly, because of the way the game is designed (you get one point for an opponent error, or one point for killing the ball) it is pretty ZzzZzz to watch, even as a competitive player.

[TheQuickest]

Wow, this is suuuuuuch a great camera angle, the players are in view almost part of the time.

[JELB1960]

Agreed. The camera should have been back a bit to keep the players in view most of the time.
