Table tennis: Swinging the racket billions of times, achieving a grand slam

Chapter 323 157km/h! A record-breaking ball speed!
"Try it."

As Chen Jin spoke, he took off his coat and took the racket from Xu Xin.

I glanced at the forehand and backhand rubbers and weighed them in my hands.

Like a swordsman examining his own blade.

The last time we measured the ball speed was during the qualifying rounds.

However, the ball speed measured that time was forehand and backhand topspin.

This time, it was a forehand topspin.

In comparison, the two are naturally not comparable.

Chen Jin also wanted to see if his forehand had improved after this period of competition and training.

"It's not a new racket."

Xu Xin smiled and said, "This is the S1 built-in ZLC carbon base plate that we developed earlier."

"Ah."

Chen Jin nodded.

He immediately walked to the pool table.

Slightly bend your knees and lower your center of gravity.

His gaze was fixed on the exit of the ball-serving machine, his breathing as steady as a still autumn lake.

laugh!
The ball machine fired a topspin ball, which landed precisely on Chen Jin's forehand side.

Push off with your right leg and thrust your hips forward.

Seize the moment when the ball is rising, and flick your forearm out like a whip.

The racket, swung out with explosive force, sliced ​​through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

"Snapped!"

next second.

The entire room was pierced by a thunderous explosion.

127 km/h.

Numbers appeared on the display screen.

Xu Xin, standing to the side, suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Such fast ball speed."

More importantly, he could tell that Chen Jin hadn't used his full strength in that shot.

They both looked very relaxed.

The other testers around, witnessing the ball's speed, also widened their eyes, revealing a hint of shock.

The boy in front of me looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Unexpectedly, it possesses such terrifying explosive power.

"really?"

Someone muttered to himself, "When Xin Ge is in good form, his ball speed is only 120. He used to be the world's number one forehand player."

"How come this kid can hit such a high ball speed so easily right from the start?"

Is there a problem with the testing equipment?

Actually, judging from Chen Jing's shot just now, the ball speed was not too low.

It's definitely not a problem with the testing equipment.

Chen Jin looked up at the display screen, his brows furrowing slightly: "Only 127?"

His expression and tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Is there no event running?"

Chen Jin muttered to himself, stretching his muscles and bones, and his whole body immediately relaxed a lot. "Again."

The second ball.

Chen Jin increased the amplitude of his backswing and waist rotation.

Leg strength, fully unleashed.

Snapped!
Another deafening sound of the ball being hit.

The thin air was once again whipped into a sharp wisp by the racket.
"147 km/h!"

Xu Xin's lips twitched.

Back when he was on the national team, he was known as the "world's best forehand player," but his highest topspin forehand was only 136 km/h.

The record stood for many years until Fan Zhendong emerged and broke it with his ball speed of 151 km/h.

Chen Jin's shot not only broke Xu Xin's record for fastest ball speed, but it was also very close to Fan Zhendong's record.

It's worth noting that Fan Zhendong's record of 151 km/h was achieved during his peak.

At Chen Jin's age, Fan Zhendong's highest ball speed record is around 120.

Everyone present was a professional athlete.

They were perfectly aware of what "147 km/h" meant.

Inside the room, gasps of shock rose and fell like the chirping of windmills.

Incredulous gazes, one after another, all focused on Chen Jin.

"That forehand power is too violent, terrifying."

"No wonder he's so young and only been in the industry for three months, yet he's already ranked second in the world. He really has some talent."

"Extraordinarily gifted."

Amidst the gasps of amazement of the crowd

Surprisingly, Chen Jin, who hit the ball at such a high speed, showed no pride whatsoever; instead, his brows furrowed even more.

Looking down at the racket, Chen Jin shook his head: "This racket lacks a bit of power." Upon hearing this...

Everyone looked at each other.

Does that mean the racket is limiting your performance?
Is your ball speed limit more than 147 km/h?

Brother, that's enough!
In the Chinese men's table tennis team, the record for the fastest topspin forehand shot is 171 km/h, held by Zhuang Zedong.

However, such a record was set in the era of 38mm balls.

Now, in the era of 40+ plastic balls, the highest ball speed record is 151 km/h set by Fan Zhendong.

So far, no one has been able to break it.

"This S1 blade is the market version; not many amateur players can penetrate it."

Sensing the unspoken meaning in Chen Jin's words, Xu Xin paused slightly, then quickly recovered, saying, "For a world-class professional player like you, your foundation is indeed a bit lacking."

"Come on, try this racket again."

The voice just fell.

The staff immediately handed over a brand new racket, all black, like a newly forged masterpiece sword, with the words "JX" stamped in gold on the handle.

Xu Xin finally brought out the real culprit for today.

"Venus?"

Upon seeing the gold lettering on the handle, Chen Jin blurted out.

"..."

Xu Xin corrected, "It's Jin X."

"Jin is the Jin from Chen Jin, and X is the X from Xuperman."

Chen Jin suddenly realized and said "Oh".

Unexpectedly, Xu Xin had even come up with a name for his racket.

It seems he is determined to sign Chen Jin.

"Didn't you say during the last test of the racket that the backhand mid-to-long range lacked power?"

Xu Xin continued, "This gold X has been adjusted for the backhand based on the test racket."

"Try again."

After saying that, he took out a racket with rubber already applied.

Forehand: National Madness; Backhand: D09C.

Even the shoulder of the handle has been polished smooth.

Chen Jin reached out and took it, waving it around: "This handle is quite comfortable to hold, and the forehand and backhand transitions are quite light and quick."

Undoubtedly, the handle is meticulously designed, making it especially friendly to penhold players.

Followed by.

Xu Xin served as a sparring partner, practicing with Chen Jin.

Control the table, forehand close-to-the-table fast attack, backhand close-to-the-table fast smash, mid-to-long-range counter-loop...

"what?"

Chen Jin smiled with satisfaction, "You adjusted the mid-to-long range well."

"It combines power and topspin, making it more aggressive than the 301, but with more stable control."

Xu Xin smiled and said, "To receive such praise from you, all of us at Xuperman are extremely gratified."

"Should we sign the contract while we're at it?"

"Someone, bring me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."

Chen Jin waved his hand: "Let me use it in a few matches first, just in case it fails the test."

"Row."

Xu Xin knew that haste makes waste, but he was quite confident in his masterpiece. "Let's try using the gold X and see if we can break the record for the highest shot?"

He was very curious that Chen Jingang had managed to hit a terrifying ball speed of 147 km/h using only a racket with slightly weaker bottom power.

If it were Jin X instead, wouldn't even Fan Zhendong's record be lost?

Coincidentally, Chen Jin had the same idea.

Chen Jin gently wiped the dusty racket with his hand and shook his arm and wrist.

He bent down, his legs slightly bent.

The ball flew right in front of me.

Kick your legs.

Turn your waist.

A powerful forehand flick.

An unparalleled power surged from the soles of his feet, instantly flowing through his entire body and finally converging on his racket.

"Snapped!"

Its power was like thunder, its fury subsiding, causing heaven and earth to tremble and sway in response.

Look at the display screen again.

The numbers jumped and appeared in everyone's eyes.

157Km/h!

The onlookers were as numerous as mountains, their faces filled with dejection.

Even Xu Xin's face was filled with shock: "Fan Zhendong's record for the fastest ball speed has actually been broken by Chen Jin!"
