Takashima vs Matsushita

D K Asked 8 years ago

Hello Alois,

I just want to ask: you once said that you consider the best at pure chopping the Japanese Master Norio Takashima.
Thus you witnessed some of his matches,didn't you?
I watched his training videos,but I did not managed to find nearly any video of him in a full match.

Could you tell me what he was like as a player?
For example,compared to his latter apprentice Koji Matsushita?

Thanks
DK

Hi DK,

I think they were similar in style.  An incredible ability to retrieve balls.
