I don’t know if you realized, Neil deGrasse Tyson spoke in a recent podcast, which Olympic sport made the strongest impression on him. Almost embarrassed he told table tennis! I believe, huge part of the amazement was due to your Marvelous commentary. Keep it up!

I really believe Adam has huge part in it. Table Tennis is for people who don’t play it, in my opinion, unintelligible unless you have a good commentary
Absolutely without a doubt. It wasn't just entertaining because of Adam's trickory, but it was also amazing table tennis. I mean, Kanak showcased some astonishing touch and feel for the game. To out duel Adam in rollers, around the nets, no look shots, and even tried out snaking Adam's snake. Just amazing! Bright future indeed!
Most impressive to me is his patience and control. Even with playing trick shots, I never felt he was struggling. Perfect read of the opponent and situation and following up with good foot work always standing in the right spot.
His patience! Adam is so slow for him,he can take his sweet time to hit every ball. That’s expected if you are close to semi pro. Anyone close who plays around 2000 rating already has a good touch and control and you are talking about a world ranked player. His controls playing against a semi pro shouldn’t surprise you. Unless, of course you don’t play at a very competitive level.
@@leonawroth2516 : it’s impressive but not surprising: 🤔. My point is, your comment sounds like you are not close to a semi pro TT player. Those skill sets are expected, especially when a world ranked player plays against a semi pro.
@@yaweli2968 "making or tending to make a marked impression : having the power to excite attention, awe, or admiration" English is my second language too, maybe you should Google a word if you feel you don't understand something.
4:55 Hilarious editing, hahaha xD 10:30 I have never seen that before. Backhand around the left pole of the net followed by a forehand around the right pole of net. Crazy feel by Kanak!
This name (word) in Hindi means Gold although in some dialects it's used for wheat as well. My daughter's name is Khanak which has entirely different meaning 🤣
@@paddington2063 A lot of it has to do with athleticism for one. If you look at the top guys vs Adam you can see a huge muscle difference. Look at Jha's legs. You can see the fibers in every one of his muscles when he lunges. He looks like a pro athlete and it can not be understated what a difference that makes in power, speed, and accuracy.
But I feel like it's WAY lower than in other sports. Imagine playing against Roger Federer with the same handicap. A guy at Adam's level wouldn't score a single point.
Adam, you bring much needed, unbridled charisma and playfulness to the world* of table tennis. You are much appreciated. Thank you! (*And I do mean WORLD, literally. Our little planet needs more like you, to keep from falling apart.)
I’m always entertained by your videos, but this match is definitely one of my favorites. It was clear that both of you were having a blast, and the quantity/quality of trick shots is out of this world!
This is interesting for me to watch as a tennis player. I noticed Kanak will often let a high ball drop pretty far before he hits it in order to get a lower bounce on his shot or a different angle. In tennis, you’re really never supposed to take the ball lower than you need to. Great channel, Adam!
I can't believe this vid has passed me by. It was an absolute pleasure to watch. Kanak may be the better player, but I love Adam's crazy shot-making abilities. He's like the John Virgo of table tennis
2:31 I learned that snake serve 2 weeks ago and here's what can I say: That serve is OP it works on 90% of people and I guess that 10% is just me. Adam thank you A LOT!!!
yeah, when you look at the serves (the normal ones) are pretty basic. I guess he could have made several that adamn wouldnt return even with a lifes practice :D
For a novice, this video is a great tool for breaking down how to hit both a fore-hand and back-hand. I've learned a lot trying to analyze the angle and stroke of the paddle as it contacts the ball. Thanx.
Great Respect for Adam. Kanak got serious with his play. Not 100% but didn't give away anything either. And there were lot's of really good rallies. And youre returns to his services were quite good, Adam. I think, I would not even bring 50% back on the table. And I played 10 years in a team (not that highclass)
First time I watched the full video: . His game is impressive: extremely smart in placing the ball, cocky in trying some trick shots . Even when he was down 8-0, he was still attacking and trying to win points instead of playing safely and waiting for Adam to make a mistake. Well done boy!
Hi Adam. I just wanted to say thanks to you :). I used to play ping pong back in highschool and then college. I was at the ping pong table at like 6am to play before class. Playing during lunch and staying late at night to play. It's been like 15 years now and then while browsing youtube I ended up on your channel and glad I did. It brought back so many memories that I decided to join my local ping pong club to start playing again! So kudos for what you do! cheers
Ok, time for some BRUTAL honesty!😳 That is the only thing Badger does, is straight and brutal honesty.👍 Before watching approx 20-25 videos, I thought of table tennis as a non-sport for people who didn't have the room for a tennis court. After watching 20+ videos, I think these athletes are some of the best in the world. I mean, they have a strange way of serving, they use an entire tennis court sized area of play, with a tiny table in the centre, that the player has to hit , only A HALF of. The speed and accuracy, nevermind some of the best and most amazing tricks I've ever seen, has definitely changed my mind and I am now a huge fan of table tennis! Go figure!!!😁👍🙏🙏🙏
This was my favorite game to watch on your channel Kanak is different his shot selections and how he executes them, the way he positions himself to make you think he is going one way and redirects the shot im a fan
@@JazzyJesterTechPing Because that's how kanak plays normally. He has no power to his shots just godlike feeling and placement. You can see his shots are just crazy blocks and changes of direction, with ridiculously good serve receives. That's how he plays.
Thank you Adam, really love to see wild and fun skill from the professional. If I may do some request, hope there is more replay angle. That's it. PS: Video editing is getting great.
@@Algojo All professional ping pong players play like Kanak, it's just the style and the way they have to train to be at the top. This is a sport built on good forms and quick reflexes. Adam's style is his own and purely for entertainment purposes, not built for competitions.
You know you're a boss when you're one of the best in the world at something, and yet your genuine & kind personality shines even BRIGHTER than your talent. He is the kind of person who gives me hope for humanity.
Wow. What a match. Kanak's style is so textbook in the way that his form and technique is near flawless, but yet he plays trickshots. Perfect read on Adam's spinny balls.
I think the pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple stream of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean financial freedom or security
Loved this. Kanak is a class act. Sometimes we forget how good the top guys really are. Adam, are you a better player now than you were when he beat you 10 years ago?
Wow.....Kanak is fantastic, he truly turned into a pro. It`s just interesting to think about the fact that someone like him still gets outclassed by older players like Boll etc, which shows how amazingly good these players actually are. But I am pretty sure the day will come soon when Kanak will be a world top 10 player!
One of the few games where Adam was helpless. I know Adam is good esp in defense, but most shots he could not even touch the ball. Kanak was awesome hope he makes a name ff himself.

This might be one of the most entertaining matches Adam has ever featured in his youtube channel
I think that's because Kanak Jha has a very good sense of tabletennis humour, too :)

I like Nikita's video more yo know Im sayin
If not THE most entertaining match ever!
What a showman Kanak is, this has to be my all time fav 'challenge a pro' videos from you. Thanks Adam!
Most impressive to me is his patience and control. Even with playing trick shots, I never felt he was struggling. Perfect read of the opponent and situation and following up with good foot work always standing in the right spot.

It's amazing to watch two players that can hit the ball from these seemingly impossible angles. 👏
Not only did Kanak win the Match, he also left nothing to be desired in the trickshot competition. Really fun to watch :D
This was *extremely* fun to watch, thank you both!
I've never seen Adam so outclassed at the table. That was so entertaining to watch. What a stand-up guy and super fun match to watch.
Lin Yun ju played incredible against Adam as well
Then watch the second set...
guess you havent seen him playing vs Lin Gaoyuan... Wasnt even half as long i think...couldnt even keep up with him in the warm up

Amazing video, Adam. Kanak is awesome!
This is my favorite video from you Adam. Kanak seems like such a nice person and has terrific skills. Had me grinning all game long!
Hey Adam... I dont play ping pong but watch your videos because of the funny meme's and sounds... It just makes my day, thanks man.
Love watching him in the German Bundesliga. He has performed really great recently!

Very entertaining and I love the audio clips for comedic emphasis. Careless whisper when you went against the wall for the second time was hysterical
Dang there were so many amazing points and shots in these games! 🏓

I think Adam Bobrow is the best! Great vids, awesome commentary, and having spent time with him years ago, just an all around real guy!
You can tell he was having fun playing and not playing seriously to win. I loved that.
Well, maybe not 100%. But he didn't played to weak on purpose, I guess.
Yes Adam played with all his heart😂
yeah, when you look at the serves (the normal ones) are pretty basic. I guess he could have made several that adamn wouldnt return even with a lifes practice :D
5:32 Dope callback!! Perfect choice of music!
I've loved following Kanak and Lily through their professional careers! It's been amazing to see them grow. Very inspiring.
The look away shots by Kanak were amazing. As expected of a champ like him to have tricks up his sleeve
So fun to watch when you play against pros, Lin Jun-Ju was also amazing, doing all sorts of trick shots!
For a novice, this video is a great tool for breaking down how to hit both a fore-hand and back-hand. I've learned a lot trying to analyze the angle and stroke of the paddle as it contacts the ball. Thanx.

Humour and mutual respect. What a lovely and entertaining video! 🥰
Kanak have such amazing feeling and control of the ball. If he could perform with same level against another top level players - he is gonna go far.
The efficiency of Kanak's movement is crazy, just watch his legs and the choices he makes around leaning versus stepping.
Can you name two players in the top 10 that Kanak beat in major international tournaments who weren't mentioned in this video?
