    +Top 8 TT Another fabulous compilation, thanks a lot. Your shot selection & edition are compelling and unique, with a keen eye for detail - and always top notch. Just feel free to make a "Part 2" with "updates", when you consider that you've already did videos about all of major players. I'm sure most around would be grateful if you do so. Again, thank you very much!

    @Sultan Sarsenbayev well BH flicks are not as fast as smash.... cant compare those 2. If niwa is in a good position for bh flick then im pretty sure he will go for that. In most of the scenario the ball was too deep on his bh or too close to his body making good stroke impossible. A plain block would be countered easily but that small addition of spin really screw up the ball trajectory...

    Some of these chop block then smash combos show a skill level that's off the planet. Particularly sweet when it's done to Dima. Effing ITTF - with a 38mm ball both Niwa and Matsudaira could have bagged a World Cup or two. And remember, both of them were World Junior Champions.

    Lots of people make different service movements after the toss. I copy many of my pre-service actions off of Dima and Fan Zhendong. I can not speak for Tristan Flore, but I find it helps me loosen up a bit and also helps me build up power for the serve itself. It is no good being stiff and rigid for the serve or the point thereafter. This appears to be purpose of Tristan Flore's serve motions which I imagine works quite well for that. I'm pretty sure he's not being 'stupid.'

    The chop block (and sidespin block) have been around forever. It's similar in concept to a slice return in tennis, an unexpected change of pace shot to surprise the opponent into a weak return. I'm sure all the world top 100 players can do it, most just haven't practiced it to the point where it's comfortable in a high-level match.

    This kind of play seems to be very common amongst Japanese players. Kenta Matsudaira and Asuka Sakai also have a similar style where they often intercept the ball very close to the table with blocks to create unexpected fast returns where most players praefer to give themselves (and thus their opponent) more time away from the time; they're also all primarily forehand loop players who will mix in interesting often fast chops from time to time returning a ball with backspin all of the sudden.
