See video of John in match play now!!!
John Schneider, a table tennis player with a wealth of information at his fingertips plays in Las Vegas, Nevada.
John Schneider (left), "The AnswerMan", plays on table 63 at the 2004 U.S. Table Tennis Nationals.
.
Does the AnswerMan know which hand the ball is in? How do you chose? Is there a good technique in picking the hand someone places the ball in?
See video of how John is able to get the serve by choosing the wrong hand:
The AnswerMan wins even when he's wrong!
John focus's on the ball. How does he determine the spin?
See the clothes John wears - It's Westside Table Tennis Club attire on a Friday night.

I noticed a couple things while encoding this clip. First I noticed John seems to have a "paddle point" reflex action as he clears his arms from the path of a long ball. Secondly I did see John plays with his paddle below the surface of the table quite a bit while filming; now I noticed his paddle drops below the table surface on his serve. Thirdly, he ties his shoe rather quickly.

"These pretzels are making me thirsty!"
Diego Schaff and John Schneider talk while John has a refreshing cup of water.
Is Diego annoyed, confused or just wondering what the hell is in my ear?
Diego replies, "I wonder what brand the ball on Robert's ear is. And what would happen if he went diving while wearing it."
