Training Session - Modern Defensive Style
Hi everyone,
Here’s a look at a recent training session with my training partner, Julio. Each exercise lasted around 7-10 minutes, focusing on both attack and defense. I like to mix different combinations to keep the session dynamic and intense-and by the end, we were definitely feeling it.
This video might be helpful for choppers looking for ideas to structure their own training.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments-hope it’s useful!

Hi everyone, Last month I competed on the 2024 Mexican National Championship. Overall, it was a great result for me placing 3rd in the singles event very close of reaching the final. Weeks before the competition I changed my equipment to a Victas Koji Matsushita blade and a Dignics 09c, remaining with the same LP Curl P1. I really like this setup, the blade has a lot of control for chopping and...

Table Tennis Defense - Switching to Victas Curl P1V
Переглядів 19 тис.2 роки тому
Just recently I switched from TSP Curl P1-R to Victas Curl P1V, which is supposedly the same rubber just rebranded, but it definitely doesn't feel the same... This new version feels softer and easier to control, however, it took my a while to figure it out, as I felt I wasn't generating enough spin at first. This improved after weeks of practice and now I'm feeling great about it as my consiste...

Hey guys, Here are some highlights of my final matches of a local league I'm playing in my city Monterrey, Mexico. I switched from the Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk blade to the new Nexy Joo Sae Hyuk a week before this competition and I've had good results with it. Very similar both blades, I would say the main difference I find is the new version is softer. Great for attacking but I would give a sligh...

Where do you buy your TSP Curl P1R?
this is a great place to play T.T.. wide and spacious. High ceilings. where is this?
hi What kind of blade do you have? Victas has 4 types. “Your base flies very well from a smooth one, but mine is much weaker. What kind of base do you have?” You can't tell by appearance, but Victas has 4 types. I have the same base, but the protection. it doesn't fly like that.
The semi-final opponent is a tough one with his style chopper truely dont like orz. You did great job fighing to the last point
do you need to change your long pips often like the backside?
Hellooo T05 or dignics O9c. For fh ??
Very high level! Great attacking play as well with a lovely forehand drive!
Thanks for the very interesting video i've approached defensive style from less than 2 years and i haven't found on UA-cam many videos on defensive players training and drills. Will appreciate more videos from you on this topic. Many thanks again and keep up your good work (i would like to play the 50%of your level).👏💪
Great work! Looks like vkm had good grip for BH? how would you compare with your orevious setup?
I don't understand : in what situation do you use forehand chop ?
So consistent! You’ve got a great training partner 😀 👍👍
Dobra gra na nogach. Świetny topspin z ciętej piłki. Dobrze się odląda
świetny trening, bardzo ładna obrona. Gratuluję
Andres!!! Prueba el Hellfire X, son unos picos largos buenisimos !
De donde conseguiste el poro con esponja de 1.7? 😮
Todavía me quedan algunos TSP pero ya no los venden :/ eventualmente usaré el Victas P1V.
you should got to lyttc club and play my brother he is a 2320
Muy buen video sobre todo el poder tener así un sparing q es fundamental para cuando se tiene que entrenar con un defensivo que mete muchas bolas, espero que sigas subiendo más vídeos de este tipo saludos desde Canarias
Gracias! Sí, no es fácil encontrar a alguien que pueda aguantar y sobre todo que quiera XD Saludos
Why did you return to the tsp and not keep the victas?
I like it better in general, but eventually I'll return to the Victas and give it another try, once I run out of TSPs
@@andresrafael1621 May i know how often do you change out the P1R side rubber? Over time i notice my P1V gets progressively more "slippery" over time, not sure if it affects chop stability/backspin generation. Thanks!
Your forehand is so strong and your chop is so stable and spinny and you are so physically fit. Have you considered finding an opportunity to play in China or European Super Leagues? I wonder whether that would give you another stepping stone in your wonderful career. Cheers and thanks for the video.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment. Tbh, I love TT but it's not my biggest priority, so it doesn't seem feasible at the moment, not to mention the level and competition around the world is insane. I would still love to compete at an international level and being on my national team again, that's the goal.
Very good training partner, super consistent
Absolutely, you don't find many players that can and are willing to practice with a chopper...
I wish they still sold the TSP P1R
Hey man! Very appreciate about this training session )
Hey, thanks man!
I love how you show your racket at the beginning of the video to answer all the 'What's your equipment?' questions right away
yeah, I know my audience at this point...
Hey man i need your help, im currently using .5 mm tsp p1r its from offensive size and im using nexy jsh and it suits very well. Im thinking of going max thickness. Where can you buy tsp p1r or p3a ?
Hey man, unfortunately you can't find the TSP rubbers anymore, they were acquired by Victas. I still have some TSPs left, but eventually I'll switch to the P1V (Victas version of P1R), you can get it from different sites, I use tabletennis11
@@andresrafael1621how was the 09c on forehand chop and as a choppers pov?
we have the same set up! shoutouts from Singapore 👊
always enjoy watching (mostly) defensive games, keep up man 🤩
Are you Mexican Joo Se Hyuk?
I wish 😂 but I appreciate your comment
La verdad que tienes una buena tecnica de defensa y de ataque ,yo sigo usando mi matshusita pro special, la mejor madera q he probado desde entonces ,no se si alguna ves la pudistes probar
Gracias! Esa madera no la usé pero sí usé la Matsushita Pro Model hace muchos años, son clásicas.
Great defensive style, wonderful loops and attacks! In my experience the characteristic of the normal VKM depends on the weight. The heavier ones are well suited for powerful attacking play as well. The lighter ones are more controlled and they are vibrating. What is the weight of Your VKM? What kind of handle?
Thanks! To be honest I don’t know how much it weights, but I would say it’s on the heavier side. Also, both rubbers with thick sponges contribute to that. I use the FL handle
@@andresrafael1621 Thank you! Maybe it is worth to weight the blade. If You want to have another one or You are urged to replace the current one the best way to get an identical one is to choose the same weight. Dont buy this blade blind. The weight and the characteristics of this blade can vary alot.
У меня основание VKM defensive весит 80 грамм. По моему, оно медленнее, чем на видео или у меня накладка медленная. Думаю…
Amazing skill you have mate, i really love your forehand counterloop.
YOU ARE SO GOOD so close in the semi-final, really great game against a very strong opponent
And what is the weight of the Racket?
I don’t know but it’s not that light, specially because of the thick sponges on the rubbers
I can hardly believe you play the regular Koji Matsushita blade. I personally own the Koji Off and Koji blade and find it hard to get a decent pace attacking with the regular (slower) Koji blade. Are you sure its not the Offensive version :D
I’m positive it’s the regular one, the power doesn’t only come from the blade :p
I'm playing with a combo of Petr Kobel racket, FH: Digics 09C 1.9mm, BH: Tibhar grass Dtecs 1.6mm and I find it very good
Sounds like a nice setup, I would try GDTecs and see how it compares with P1
Felt good after watching this 😅
Backhand ara ara hucüm yapmalısın rakıpleri onunla korkutmalısın
Süngerli pütür mü kullanıyorsunuz butterfly long 3
Uuuff juegasos la vdd cada vez mejor
Dignics 09 1.9 or 2.1?
2.1
Where did you find P1-R from?
I still have a few left from the old days 😂
Awesome forehand
Felicitaciones Andrés! Una pregunta, si tuvieras menos esponja en los picos largos no generarías más spin?
Gracias Eduardo! En mi experiencia con más esponja puedes generar más efecto y más variación, es decir, puedes generar efecto aunque la pelota que viene no tenga, eso es muy valioso porque es más impredecible. Por otro lado, si requiere de mucho tiempo para acostumbrarse y controlar.
Have you tried the koji matsushita zc or nexy jsh version 2?
I haven’t, have you?
I like this pair style when they hits the ball.
Is it the regular koji , offensive or defensive?
@@venomcodm8405 regular
Amazing player, keep up the great work.
what thickness is Dignics 09c?

Hi, which kind of VKM are you use ?

Really amazing. I love your style and your quick change from defensive to offensive! Sometimes it is so bad to miss matchpoints and lose so close in sight of the final. Go on! I would like to see more of your matches.
Great content, as always! With which version of the VKM are you playing with? :)
It’s the regular one, just Victas Koji Matsushita
