@ 3:03 , that sounded like ma lin ...

lol

[yakuza289]

@MrNuigit Xu hit the ball with the handle and maze thinks thats illegal and its not. i have seen this twice once with maze and another time with timo boll after Xu gets those lucky handle shots the game is over for the opponent.

[gdounito]

@JoeyTableTennis its because that was ma lin ! his "cho le" is characteristic :P

[Daemowa]

i think maze wouldnt win even a set now. Xu Xin has definitly improved, his forehand topspins look more fluid and also his backhand is better.

[yakuza289]

@strikewzen dude just shut up before u reck your self... the back side is intentional... the handle is not dumb ass learn the rules...

[strikewzen]

@yakuza289 thanks for answering my noob Q, i only asked the j pen reference because quote "you can hit the handle because that is part of your racket..." and backside of j pen is part of the racket, and as for your tone i guess you're a gangsta and don't give a fuck so thats cool, don't go whack my family now

[yakuza289]

@strikewzen ... the backside of a jpen is wood not a handle... the handle is legal to hit because its not intentional... the backside of a jpen is known for being illegal because there is no rubber and the surface area is so large. most the time if u hit the handle u wont make it across the table cuz there is no energy return and the physics are very hard to calculate.. so quit trolling u noob read up on the rules... go ask an official...

[strikewzen]

@yakuza289 so is it legal to hit with the backside of a jpen?? where it has no rubber?

[yakuza289]

@strikewzen Look it up dude.. ask any ref that is usatt approved you can hit the handle because that is part of your racket...

[strikewzen]

@yakuza289 hitting the ball with handle is definitely illegal unless the handle is a rubber sheet approved by ITTF, but you are yakuza so i guess you're right, respect

[markchang444]

@dfunkt agreed. xu xin is a very very talented player.

@markchang444

1) it is just generally poor sportsmanship...anyone over the age of 7 should have learned life-lessons like that already. also, imho, very disrespectful to xu xin.

2) actions like that can easily damage equipment that does not belong to him, incurring expense and bother on the part of the tournament organizers, who would be made ultimately effectively responsible for his baby-like tantrum.
