It's difficult to nail a better winning-shot than this one. International table tennis player Mattias Oversjo looked like he was going to lose the point in his match against Jörgen Persson. The Swede slammed a forehand and it looked as if he would go on to win the point, but Oversjo came back with an unbelievable no-look shot that flew by his opponent. Scroll down to watch the absurd shot.

Does this translate into a viable living per chance? I'm looking for a lucrative hobby.

It's a fun game, and I have had a table in my garage for years, but be advised, that Ping Pong tables are frequent installations in mental hospitals. Friends and family do not let me forget it.

That's cool and all, but it would've been REALLY impressive if he had captured or k !lled Osama Bin Laden instead.

Great shot but No Look, are you joking? He looked directly at the spot he was going to hit it to half a second to a second before he hit there.

Unless you play at that level you have no idea what is going on. It has more to do with the Zen than it does with seeing. He neither needed to see as much as feel to know he made the shot. Impressive! All those who are saying he was grand standing are only jealous.

I agree, during a good rally you never really see the ball with your eyes. I never thought about it in terms of a Zen-like state. Good observation. Part of the game is shielding your shots from your opponent, which is exactly what he did (for all those who say he was grand standing).

He only turned after he hit the ball, but it was still an amazing shot.

I agree he turned after he hit. It look more hot dog than anything else.

Nice shot but not really "no look". Most of his turn momentum after his partial turn to make the shot.
