My technique isn't that great so I prefer using european rubbers for their ease of use compared to chinese rubbers and the high arc + catapult effect! I should probably have a chinese racket to train with so I can use my equipment to force myself proper technique, but I can't get myself to do it yet 😅
Persson, Waldner, Grubba (RIP), Gatien, Saive, Appelgren, Lindh, Kucharski, Primorac, Roßkopf… the European TT heroes of my childhood. Even had the pleasure of meeting Persson when he came with Grubba and Appelgren to Warsaw back in 1990? 1992? I don’t remember exactly anymore. Such a nice, down-to-earth guy.
Persson did the most amazing recovery scramble-real match-I ever witnessed. It was some 25 years ago and the exact details are lost to my memory; but it was pretty well falling down on his butt, skidding and crawling half the time on the floor from backhand to wide forehand, and (this part I remember vividly)getting back to the backhand, making a flawless low-chop return sitting 10 feet back on the floor, to which his opponent made an excellent short return, but not short enough. JP had anticipated his opponent's return as soon has had made his emergency chop and had got back up on his feet and leaped to the table in a flash and punched home his famous backhand. I have never found video since, and I don't know why it has never become a compilation staple item. It should be in every collection.
Joergen signed my tt-bag when I was 12 years old -> 42 now😊. He is such a Legend and often not enough credited for it, because ppl talk about Waldner all the time (both are all time greats imo). Cheers
Me and my table tennis club were watching the SM live (think it was the SM, long time ago so memory might fail me on details :)) back when I was 14 yo so that would make it back in 1985 and I also got my racket case signed by J-O and Jörgen. Some of us kids even got to play a few balls with them. This was back in 85:ish and I don't think I quite realized back then how big this was.
Hey Dan! Quality video as always! I miss the old series where you played 1 set showdown versus the pros. There's always some fun points in there, maybe you could pick it up again in the future when having them over, like this?
His control especially on the backhand is amazing. I still remember his match against Ma Long in some Chinese circuit, which he lost, but when Persson drew Ma Long into those backhand-backhand rallies, he almost won every point. Jorgen is a bit overshadowed, but an absolute world-class player who has faced so many generations of players. And what’s more, he’s still looking like he’s got a lot of fire!
Agreed! Persson is very humble. A book about him is even called ”The kind champion”. Quoting from a description of the book: ”During the writing of the biography, all who were interviewed thought that kindness was his most priominent personal trait. He takes the time to sign autograph for all the kids who line up after his tournaments. He gives away edge balls that noone else sees, even during high stakes games. A true role model! Similar to Timo Boll I think.
I have played with a Hybrid Chinese on my BH before (DHS sponge +Friendship top sheet) I used to get from Thailand. It was absolutely phenomenal !!! The counter attacks off the table were effortless and the rotation was out of this world. I was also able to stop the ball and kick in some sort of a chop/block with a reverse spin lightning fast, lots of fun. But this is many moons ago ! Now I play with short pips which drive fast players nuts ! BTW I have also had the pleasure to meet Jorgen "in Persson" (Sorry I could not resist, it was too easy) ... Human beings don't come more humble than that apart from the UNBELIEVABLE knowledge and talent he has. People like him in the Swedish Team will keep producing more talents. Thanks for letting us appreciate him again in the video. (I wonder how many guys from TTD wanted to jump on the table with him... ahahahah)
Always find it so impressive how well you take to the table using all these different rubbers and blades. Also how you prevent yourself from changing your own set up every week 😆
Jörgen has always a smile on his face despite many years of ache in his back. And speaking of the three musketeers, hard to beat J-O, Jörgen and Äpplet (Appelgren). @@TableTennisDaily
I have been really out of touch with the table tennis equipments lately so more equipment reviews would be really appreciated. And a fantastic video once again!!!!
i saw this real legend last weekend in montreux. he played with truls to warm him up. this two sweden's are amazing and he is still soo strong and has crazy shots.
Hey Patrick awesome you got to watch the two practice. Yeah I see Jorgen many times practising with the Swedish National Team warming them up at events. He's still got it haha
Hey Dan, you are so often in Germany and I think lots of times actually at Borussia Düsseldorf ... how come you never do some fan events or whatsoever ? Like Adam Bobrow touring around some locations playing short 5 point matches against your fans or something like that.
Would like to try the A2 or even the A3 on both sides. Currently using the MK forehand and Fastarc C1 backhand. But there's no substitute for technique😝
Hi Daniel, thanks for another interresting episode! I wonder when you challenge the first chinese player. Or did I miss something? Greets from Germany and keep on pongin' 🙋♂️🏓
Realy interesting i didnt know there is a new Series of Bluestorm.. i use the normal Bluestorm Z2 but i dont think i need to switch if im not as good as this guy hahha
Been husing Hybrid rubber on my forehand for a long time now (Nittaku PK50) And best thing about it is that it givea me the controll and confident to hit my shots. As it the same time it "punish" me for being lazy 😂
Amazing player 🎉 the ratings for the Tibhar rubbers seems a bit low. T05 has more control and better touch than MXP?!? Also, the spin on K3 is higher IMO than you have rated it. The issue is the durability of Tibhar rubbers isn’t as good.
A1 is the best D09c alternatives I found so far for forehand: much long lifespan than D09c but also lightweight. It's much better than DNA drigon grip (no power), joola dynaryz zgr (too heavy and not controllable as A1, not spin enough). brand new Tibhar K3 might be better than A1 but the lifespan really sucks. D09c is amazing, the Dignics sponge last a long time but the D09c surface of the D09c doesn't last long so it won't grap the ball after 1 month. The downside of A1 is that it might be too thick for backhand, in which case K3 and D09c are much better. Haven't tried A2 though. Have tried A1 on Innerforce Layer ZLC and Viscaria and Stiga CyperShape it's amazing for its price and durability and weight.
A1 was heavier and slower than D09c. (Except of you maybe boosted it...) I will agree with you with the A2 as best D09c alternative. Bluestars biggest weakness is the surface by visual look. It looks very fast worn out, but it's still good. There will be just a time where you have to change it due to too much loss of grippy surface.... but D09c has the same issue like every hybrid rubber^^
@@leob4403 English is not my first language, so yeah. This is not a competition, though. He's an incredible table tennis player and this is what the video is about. Many people from Scandinavia are very fluent in English plus he must have travelled the world quite a bit. That's why I had expected his English to be better, but it doesn't matter.
Releasing any new rubber every single year doesn't seem to be the way to go if they want to compete with BTY let alone at such crazy prices. After all, They are making arguably BTY the best bang for your buck😂😂😂.
What’s your choice? European, hybrid or Chinese style rubbers? 🏓

Pure table tennis genius. And he seems to be such a nice human being as well...
Legend, 100% quality shots, amazing
Great to see his feeling has never left him!!
Could he do it on a rainy night in Failand?.... most likely hahaha
Видно что у Перссона очень удобный блок, Ден даже попадает на стол больше чем обычно . Тренироваться с таким игроком невероятно круто.
Класс 💪

Waooh. My reference player when I was young, handsome, had a fantastic backhand and Dan's haircut.
Played an Olympic semifinal at 42,what a monster!
It wasn't just anyone he beat to win that gold either... it was the legend Waldner himself!
I'm not good enough for hard rubbers. Soft, European here😎👍. Great video, Dan!
Thanks Andrew 🙌
A1 is extremely popular in USA as well. You can find it in pretty much every American restaurants.

Those backhand shots he was popping were bad ass....

How the hell did he block that so casually😮😮
Haha its outrageous right! The crazy thing is the 3 shots before that I went all cross court!

The thing is for an old top elite player this is quite casual training.
So that's why he can block it so relaxed I guess.

I will agree with you with the A2 as best D09c alternative.
Bluestars biggest weakness is the surface by visual look.
It looks very fast worn out, but it's still good.
There will be just a time where you have to change it due to too much loss of grippy surface.... but D09c has the same issue like every hybrid rubber^^
