Style of Play
Joo Se-Hyuk uses a defensive table tennis style that throws opponents off their game completely. Utilizing a series of defensive chops, he puts well-placed shots onto the opponent's side from enormous distances, combining placement with massive amounts of spin. Joo Se-Hyuk also uses a strong forehand topspin loop, and occasionally drives, to quickly counterattack an opponent. His dramatic and usually dynamic maneuvers across the table enable him to cover large areas, making him less prone to attack. Joo Se-Hyuk is one of the few defensive players to consistently rank in the International Top 10.

Famous quotes containing the words style and/or play:
“Everything ponderous, viscous, and solemnly clumsy, all long- winded and boring types of style are developed in profuse variety among Germans—forgive me the fact that even Goethe’s prose, in its mixture of stiffness and elegance, is no exception, being a reflection of the “good old time” to which it belongs, and a reflection of German taste at a time when there still was a “German taste”Ma rococo taste in moribus et artibus.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
