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:
“Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received, as your person, though ever so well-proportioned, would if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“A bestial and violent man will go so far as to kill because he is under the influence of drink, exasperated, or driven by rage and alcohol. He is paltry. He does not know the pleasure of killing, the charity of bestowing death like a caress, of linking it with the play of the noble wild beasts: every cat, every tiger, embraces its prey and licks it even while it destroys it.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
