Table tennis champion Matthew Syed plays table tennis with Hung Kei Li from Hong Kong. Speed and strategy are important to this fast and exciting game. Matthew explains that the most important component at top level in table tennis is spin. This is achieved by making fine contact with the ball using a fast-accelerating racket head. Matthew's opponent needs to know the direction of the ball and the type of spin being used in order to return it over the net. In order to avoid his opponent making a successful return, Matthew tries to disguise the type of spin he puts on the ball.
