I've made that shot, but only when my dad and I played 8 hours almost every day for about six months when he was out of work. Hard to do and still a long shot when you try it. |

I'd call it "skluck" [obviously an ungraceful portmanteau of skill and luck.] It's like a baller hitting a shot from 3/4 court. Low percentage shot but with experience it gets more likely. |

According to my source, sporst expert Norm Macdonald, Ping-Pong is the only sport named after its inventor. |

The one time I wouldn't mind a slo-mo and they don't have one. That's about right. |

A lucky shot from an obviously skilled player, is the answer.. Sure it was a bit of luck, but he had more chance to pull it off than any of you douchebags!! |

I play ping-pong and at first I thought he did it with his backhand but on closer inspection he just blocked it from way behind the table. It looks awesome, sure, but he could've done it closer. If I could do this move I would because my opponents would always think they've got the point with their Top Spin. |

skill. He obviously stretched otherwise he wouldn't be playing that shot but it's a shot he'll have no doubt played before at some point |

Ardystic is right. All of you who are picking one or the other probably just haven't been involved in much of any competitive sport/game. |

Luck. He just played it off to make it look as if he did it on purpose. |

both. athletes don't usually do unorthodox things unless they have to. and when you do unorthodox things successfully, both skill and luck are involved. |

How can you say "bad-ass" and "ping-pong" in the same sentence? |

Depends, if he has practiced that move, and can repeat it, then its skill. If can't do it again, then its luck. |
