Return Any Table Tennis Serve with the Backhand Banana Flick | Tips from Andreas Levenko
I have been looking for tt stretching video for so long. In the youtube search for "table tennis stretching" this video does not come up which is very annoying by youtube. Thank you for the video, this is so good and exactly what I was looking for.
what Chinese tacky type rubber would you suggest, which you don't need to boost?
Andreas, please compare ( speed , control, spin) : Harimoto ALC - DHS Long 5
Hello Andreas, Servus! I am an intermediate level player with a controlled playing style. I also play in a local club. I still try to develop myself into an allrounder+ player. It is not an easy journey. One has to be very patient and resilient and I also try to train with a good coach. To be honest, I really like your channel. I have been trying a lot of rubbers like DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (commercial), Nittaku Hammond Z2, Xiom Omega VII Euro and Yasaka Rakza Z, to name a few. I feel that I will stick to Yasaka Rakza Z on my forehand. It is really a very good rubber and I like hybrid types of rubbers with some tackiness. You can play short-short with it nicely as well as the spin in the serves is amazing. I played a Stiga Infinity VPS blade but recently changed to Butterfly Petr Korbel Japan version. But at the back of my mind, I still like DHS Hurricane 3 (maybe I will try the blue sponge in the future). Perhaps you can give me some recommendations for my backhand. At the moment, I use short pimples rubber (Materialspezialist Spinfire or Butterfly Impartial XS) for more control. I am still open to a pimples-in controlled rubber for my backhand. Keep up your good work!
excellent tutorial, very condensed and clear. thanks you!!
Thank you too 😁🏓
Tensor rubes have speed limit because of it's soft sponge. Some European rubber, like the DNA platinum xh or dragon grip are equipped with very hard sponge and just a little of built in tension so it's as linear as the hurricane. .Normally, Chinese players never use the dead sponge of the hurricane, they boost it , to add tension and soften the sponge for speed for close to the table technique.
👍👍👍
Great video! I really need help with finding a new blade right now. My blade is kinda too stiff and fast for me right now but i really love it for my backhand. I'm still trying to improve my overall skills to but mostly my forhehand. Do you have anything to recommend to me? Thanks
So , the contact point is the side of the ball ?
Is it just me who thinks he isn’t talking about table tennis?
Hahahhahhaha
Meanwhile, in many Canadian towns & neighborhoods, we have few facilities to even practice: we have done a very poor job of being ambassadors for this great sport. Schade. ("Sad")
Sorry to hear that Bro….🙏🏼🏓🏓
I wish I’d seen this a year ago. Great content; I like your honesty. I use Yasaka Sweden extra with Gewo neoflex 45 but I find it too slow in mid distance exchanges and I can’t finish opponents off any advice on blades and rubber would be appreciated 😊
Hey thank you so much 👍 Maybe try a faster wood but stay with same rubbers. A butterfly inner force could be good 😁
Crazy to be sponsored by DHS despite being an european player
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Best Tips ever!
Why are you just parroting things every Redditors and UA-cam commenters, who are just parroting off of each other and likely originated from EmRatThich, says instead of your professional experience? I don’t have Sherlocke Holmes level of memory but a lot of them are word-for-word posts and comments I’ve read before. Also, two things I’ve heard from these parrots that I think are contradictory: (1) you need to use weaker blade/rubber for better technique, and (2) always go with Max when Max gives less control compared 1.5 or 1.9.
Oh God! What a terrible din!! Totally unnecessary. I'd complain to the umpire if I were the other side of that net...
What if you choose a very hard european rubber? Or a hybrid?
Hey great video last summer i switched from a defensive blade to more offensif blad and rubber from stiga but always great to learn about blades and rubbers
Thank you very much 👍👍
Hi, I'm from Malaysia, I play short pimple on the forehand and butterfly Rozena on the backhand, can I know which table tennis blade is suitable for pimple? Thank you, I'm waiting for a reply from a friend.
I need advice on that setup: HL5 + FH:H3 National Blue Sponge + BH:Dignics 09C. Does it work well? Or H3 National Orange Sponge is better than dignics 09C on BH?
Hat bro ein Bundesheer leiberl an? Ist bro Österreicher der englisch kann😂😂
Great vid!! You talked about viscaria and your dhs blade, sounds like they are similar I would like to understand more if there's a difference? I've been using the fzd alc for 2 years which is like viscaria so wondering if there's a point in trying the dhs version
Hey W968 is more deeper feeling and viscaria has more carbon feeling. Both are very good but they are different. It’s like Ferrari and Mercedes 😊
Have you tried golden grand slam w968? How is it different to the normal w968?
Yes I use Golden W968 It is just slightly adjusted improved version 😊👍👍
Hi Andreas! The problem about Chinese rubbers is the necessity of boosting them. Can you recommend a hybrid rubber that is most similar to a boosted H3 one? I currently use Joola Dynaryz ZGR which is pretty good. A lot of people say DIGNICS 09c would be the only somewhat adequate replacement even though it is still far away from well boosted H3. Would be great if you could give some advice 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey 😊 i agree with everything that you said 👍 I would say Dignics 09c but don’t worry about boosting. You can easily do it. No one will arrest you 👍🙏🏼 All the best 🏓
@ many thanks for the swift reply bro 🙏🏼 Wish you all the best!
What impact does the glue have on the setup?
Makes rubber more flexible and feel thicker so it gives higher arc 😊👍
Great video, but what to "flicking on sidespin"
Andreas, I have a problem while boosting my H3 rubbers: after few days they are peeling of from sides. I tried to put really big amount of glue: 3 layers on rubber + 2 layers on wood, and after gluing give the racket a rest under a press of few kilos. Still doesn’t work, so I need to re-glue rubbers again. This is so annoying. How do you deal with it? PS: your channel is awesome 🎉
obviously it means the rubber was not ready to be glued yet as the curl did not subside enough, you probably also boosted with 3 layers when probably 2 are enough
Thank you very much. Ok you really need to give it more time to dry. Probably your rubber was way tooo bend. Give it at least 24 hours to dry and don’t put too much oil. Less is more. Trust me. Make 2-3 layers but with less amount of oil. 😊👍
What you think about difference techniques ?
I really want to improve, but i don't know how to, im in a low level right now, i've training for a year but i feel stuck, i don't feel consistent and miss more than i should, in easy balls, in multiball. Any tips to be more consistent and train more efficiently?
The technic differents have nothing to do with how advanced you are. It’s different style rubber and different style technic. How many people play Chinese rubber on high level without boosting it?
Chinese rubbers are too heavy...
Have used ESN rubbers all the time and now I switched to Razka Z (Extra hard on FH, normal BH, Max both) rubbers. Those are more grippy than "normal" ESN rubbers. I've only got two exercise with those new rubbes at. What I've now found out those rubbers are quite bouncy(?). I've now difficulties to control the ball because higher arc. What improvements I need to take or give some hints to get used to those faster rubbers?
Hey 😊 Coop Choice ! Definitely just practice consistently and your feeling will develop. Make a few more trainings and you will get used to it 😊👍
have you tried hurricane 3? if so, do you like it?
Yes it’s also a great rubber even tho I use H3 Neo 🫡
Hi, great videos there a particular link for an online website that you could share? I hear there are a lot of fake DHS products
Yes sure :) Table Tennis 11 is the best shop that has the original DHS National rubbers and all DHS rubbers 🫡🏓
Great video, thank you! I’m using DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial Blue Sponge 40 degrees on my forehand and tenergy 05 on my backhand, with an ovtcharov blade. What would be the difference if I change to the DHS Ma Long V? I play an attacking style based mainly on my forehand (also use backhand, of course), close or medium distance from the table
The Blade would be faster, but your setup is perfectly good. I wouldn’t change. Instead bring my level up and one day treat yourself with a W968 😁👍
Did you boost the rubbers or no? I'm planning to use dhs hurricane 3 neo on my fh
No need to know about me 😁 BUT I recommend at least using two layers of booster 🏓😁
I thought neo are factory boosted, they really need more boost?
Having someone this reputable making teaching videos is a blessing for the community🥹. Consider showing us how you serve and 3rd ball attack in game🤔? I sometimes don't know if a ball is attackable and how. (heights, long/short,...)
Thank you so much and yes I will do ! Great idea thank you 🏓😁🚀
Hey Andreas! I just recently started playing with chinese rubbers again. Im currently playing the Hurricane 3 National OS (40 degrees, 2.2). I've had the Hurricane 3 Neo BS before. How would you say these two rubbers play differently? (In the neo vs regular department as well as blue sponge vs orange sponge) I personally feel like the orange sponge bottoms out quicker than the blue sponge but in terms of spin they are very similar?
Hey😊 My personal experience is that blue sponge is a little bit more hard and you can create more force with it and have bigger arcs. With the orange sponge however you have more stability and more control in terms of placement and spin 💪🏓 That’s what DHS told me 😊🙏🏼🏓
@@AndreasLevenko thanks a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Is the W968 head heavy?
Hey :) no it’s not 👍 very well balanced blade
@AndreasLevenko Servus Andreas!, Ich bin ein Spieler aus Vorarlberg und spiele derzeit in der 1.Klasse gerade auf Platz 4. mit diesem Setup Long5 (nicht deine Version) D09c 2,1mm beidseitig. Denkst du der DHS Belag wäre was für meine VH? Rückhand bin ich mit dem D09c sehr zufrieden. Und wieso spielst du nicht NEO sondern den normalen? Du kannst auch gerne meine letzten Spiele anschauen die ich erst vor paar Tagen hochgeladen habe. Ich möchte auch 100% in die Schläge geben wie du es mit deinem Footwork Video gut gezeigt hast aber dafür brauche ich auch so jemanden, der mir die Bälle so einwerfen kann. Ich mache die Übung derzeit so, dass mein Trainingspartner mit der Rückhand mir die Bälle verteilt(block), aber wenn ich da 100% in die Schläge reingebe, kommen die Bälle sehr schnell zurück (wenn er sie überhaupt zum blocken bekommt). Viele können kein Balleimertraining geben leider :/ Vielen Dank schonmal und ich freu mich auf deine Antwort!
Servus 😊 Cooles Setup 👍 Ich spiele mit der Vorhand den Neo Belag. H3 Blue Sponge National Neo 41 2.1mm Der Belag könnte sicher was für deine Vorhand sein, würde aber 39 grad empfehlen und zwei mal Boosten 👍 Ok ich verstehe, dann wäre es am besten wenn du auch deinem Trainingspartner Hilfe gibst wie er besser blocken kann oder ihr euch Balleimer Training gegenseitig beibringt. So habt ihr beides was davon langfristig 😊👍 Viel Glück 🏓💪
@@AndreasLevenko auch den National? Ich habe halt das Gefühl mein Setup ist sehr weich(vom gefühl) hatte letztens den Harimoto zlc in der Hand gehabt und da habe ich den Ball mehr gespürt. Werd das aber mal länger testen. Ich versuch natürlich so gut es geht meinen Trainingspartnern zu helfen, aber das geht leider nicht so schnell. Dann mache ich halt die Übung langsamer und kontrollierter. Ich merk aber halt im Spiel selber, dass ich dann wenn ich mit mehr Power spielen möchte die Bälle rausfliegen. Was wären so deine Tipps, woran ich gerade arbeiten soll? Mein Ziel ist es von 1450 auf 1800 zu kommen. Bin sehr motiviert.
@@AndreasLevenko Der Belag würde mich 77€ kosten 2,15mm und das nach 30% Rabatt also national neo 39. Gleich viel wie der Butterfly Belag + ich muss mich ums Boosten kümmern. Ich habe sowieso den Harimoto Super ZLC geschenkt bekommen mit D80 und D09c max. Ich werde diesen Setup mal ausprobieren.
H3 BS need more booster than orange sponge ? I usually play with orange sponge 40/41 degree and apply 1 layer of Seamoon. H3 BS Provincial after 1 layer with same hardness feel way more harder to me. Another question, there is much difference between h8-80 and H3 Neo 37 on backhand ? I tested h8-80 but it seemed too soft and mushy.
Blue Sponge definitely needs more booster 😊 you are righ. Yes there is a big difference. I prefer H3 Neo for backhand because it’s more control and power at same time.
@@AndreasLevenko Thanks !
Let's hope when I ask my training partner to do this he doesn't look like yours... (In other words, like I just ran over his dog... ;)
I’m subscribed now!
Thank you so much 🏓😁🤙
Great video as always! I am currently playing with the Lin yun ju super zlc, tenergy05 FH and dignics 80 backhand roughly 2000 rated. I quite like the tenergy for looping further from the table and countering. However against backspin I seem to lack the power. I spin up the ball slowly and controlled but when I try to “Chinese hit a backspin ball” I just loose control. I used d09c before and it was much better. However required much more effort away from the away and every shot has to be in the right place whereas t05 allows me to be slightly out of position and still play. Hence my question to you is, for someone trying to improve should I stick with t05 or go back to d09c? And also should I try t05 hard as an intermediate ? Do harder rubbers really allow me to hit harder against backspin?
I’m serious about this: I think you might be the best educational table tennis content creator at the moment! The combination of your excellent knowledge and video making skills has thus far made all your videos 10/10 in my book. You are even better than the big boys imo, such as table tennis daily.
Indeed
Wow thank you so much ! The video editing however is made by my Girlfriend 😁🏓 I really appreciate it so much. It motivates me a lot doing even more content 🙏🏼🏓🚀
Hi Andreas, I have changed my equipment a lot, I would say I am intermediate level player, but You can make Your own assessment checking one of my videos. I really like w968, but for my weak physic it is too heavy (92g and very head heavy), so I am not able to use it, even after playing 5-10min on the robot I don't have the strength anymore. Other blades I like are Butterfly Spark (but the handle is way too slim and blade is maybe a little too slow), innerforce zlf (also handle too small), Reccently I tested old victas firefall fc and really liekd it for my bh, but it felt too stiff for fh. Rubbers: I play mostly dignics 05, but I am thinking about trying hybrid k3 fx. I really like tibhar mk and mk fx, but recently I was told that mk fx might be too soft for my bh. In old ball era I really liked soft rubbers, but currently I feel like the catapult is too big and I lose the control, on the other hand my bh timing is really poor, so I am not confident enough to use something like dignics on my bh. What would You recommend for control-spin oriented player of my level ? I am quite ok with chop blocks, strawberry and "weird" bh shots and usually finish points with my fh
Why is he having an orgasm every time he hits the ball?
Kann ich auch mein Viscaria mit 2x MX P (50 Grad) in max. belegen? Oder wäre das für die Rückhand zu hart? Würden die Mxp Beläge genauso vom Boostern profitieren wie die H3's?
Mit einer Schicht booster auf der Rückhand eine super combo. Würde auf die MXP auf jeden Fall eine Schicht booster pro Seite machen 👍👍
Hello. Great video, congratulations on such a high level. :) I have a question. What blade would you recommend for the all + or off- range. I play at the 5th level in the German league, my style of play is offensive with the backhand and forehand. I think I should buy the same rubbers as you have, only not as hard. Thanks in advance for your answer. I wish you all the best.
I think a good blade would be any Butterfly Carbon OFF- Blade or the Fang Bo DHS blade which is pretty ALL+ too. I would also recommend to use a softer version of mine as mentioned in the video 😊👍🏓
Ich find deine videos echt super, mach weiter so. Ich frage mich aktuell, wie groß der unterschied zwischen dem commercial hurricane long 5 und dem national w968 ist. Ist der große preis unterschied es wert wenn man nicht auf einem sehr hohen Niveau spielt? Dasselbe mit dem hurricane neo 3, ich hab jetzt 2 mal den commercial gekauft und gespielt und frage mich, ob der provincial oder sogar national den Preisunterschied wert ist. Danke schonmal, ich werde weiter deine videos verfolgen, ich finde das "professionelle" format um beim spielen weiterzuhelfen super.
Hey 😊 Also es ist sicher gut erst einmal mit dem Long 5 anzufangen um dich in die DHS Welt steady reinzutasten. Fange gerne mal mit dem commercial an und wenn der dann kaputt ist und angespielt ist es vielleicht an der Zeit mal den Provincial zu probieren. Unterschied ist schon da 😊👍 LG
Hi Andreas! I have Harimoto super alc and Tenergy 05 on both sides. This rubber has been around for many years now and i still like it very much. Have you tried T05 and what do you think? Great channel i like a lot man
Thank you 😊👍 T05 is a very good industry standard. However butterfly developed Dignics 09c which is also very used amongst the pros now. Your setup is great for sure ! 👍👍
