Table tennis player mystifies opponent with a shot that spins FEET across the table

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

The folks at “Pongfinity” continue to amazing us with table tennis shots we’ve never seen before. The latest comes from the 2015 Finlandia Open Championships, but hadn’t surfaced on the internet until now.

In a seemingly impossible position the player in blue put so much spin on the backhand that it moved a good foot in the air as it curled around the net and finally hit the edge, spinning sharply back to his opponent.

The player in red never thought for a second that the ball would curl back, which caught him totally off guard. Just incredible.
