    Can somebody explain this to me? I’m a casual garage ping pong player at best. Some of these are completely stunning just straight up visually.

    But then some are even more dumbfounding on another level, in the sense that he fires away and just leans or turns away knowing the play had ended, yet the way the ball is going it looks completely returnable (more or less down the middle, doesn’t seem to have a tricky spin or trajectory, and/or well within forehand reach). Obviously the opponent then fails to return it. But I don’t see how he’s so sure that he just ended it. The play at 0:24 is the first of many examples. Has he done a feint that is so convincing he knows he doesn’t even need to prep for a return (yet at the same time imperceptible to my untrained eye) or is he just watching where his opponent is going and knows he won’t be able to react? Or is it something else? Genuinely amazed by both the skill and confidence here.

    Koki blows me away, even though I use the RVP grip, his floor presense, his non chalant/aloof deameanor. His 'if I win the point, great!..if I dont, so what, play the next one'..LOL!!..too much!

    I think Koki is the most gifted table tennis player. His shots are fun, skillful and even humorous to watch. Thank you, Koki Niwa!

    So sad that new ball ruined careers of such a great players like Koki Niwa. I don’t think that it ruined the game. But sometimes i just feel bad for Koki.

    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.

    참 무심한듯 하지만 창의적인선수.. 독보적인개성.. 정말 매력있는선수네요.

    Anyone can hit a few fantastic shots from time to time. How many Olympic medals or world championships did he win ?
