Yeah, it's amazing the breadth of age in table tennis. Many pro players can still play in their 40s and 50s, which is unheard of in other sports.

This past weekend I played against this kid in the clubs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cws4TzPySdw&feature=chann...

He's 5 years old and can barely reach over the table. But, he's able to back up 10 feet from the table and hit absolutely huge returns. I was able to beat him, but he definitely scored lots of points on me. Given that I'm rated about 750, this is crazy!

Give him a few years and he'll be playing pro in no time.

Am I looking at the right video? That kid did not look amazing.
