Pongfinity
Copenhagen with The Dane
You've said that you'll play in China if "TABLE TENNIS PROS vs PUBLIC!! WIN GET £1000!!!" video gets 50k likes
Now do it!
Please do Pongfinity!!
Imagine training for 20 yrs just to lose to a random old man in the park. That must hit the feelings
The random old man has been playing far longer than 20 years tho so not so bad lol
The other dude has even more real time match experience. With pressure. Its like being in a tournament .... Everyday.
@@shogrranwith pressure. Don't be silly.
Dan looks like he’s cutting him some slack though.
@@Bork0r He said he was really trying tho..
His serve isn't regulation but you can tell he's learnt his game on the streets and has been playing for a very very long time.
We've all played against a guy like that: he's as stiff as a stick of licorice, his game has no aesthetic appeal, he has improbable racquet grips, you never know where the ball's going to go, he doesn't seem to control anything so you can't anticipate anything, he makes illegal serves, he plays without soul and seems absent, he pushes, pushes, pushes then suddenly he hits the ball like a brute without really knowing what's going to happen. In short, hell on earth.
i have a player like that at the abandoned building i play at here in austria. racket he bought 20 years ago in spain and even then it was trash and not up to ittf standard and by now its wobbly and dented. big belly, doesnt speak a word of english or german, doesnt speak to anyone, but comes to play every single day.
the racket takes no spin and is crazy slow so he can just block every ball centimeters behind the net and everything slightly high he smashes.
he wins sets or matches against upper league players
@@gideonunger7284 Haha, this rings a bell. Funny how they all look the same.
@@gideonunger7284 make a Video with him! Would be nice to witness the guy :)
😂😂😂

Table tennis outdoor is a totally different sport. I train 3 times a week indoor and usually play every weekend in spring / summer in the park. Outdoors spin doesn't matter that much since the table takes most of the spin out of the ball anyway. And it's less consistent cuz of the wind, so more direct and defensive play is more effective than looping
You must play against weak players.
Revision: I have only played in the wind a couple times here in Florida in the spring and it was awkward to say the least.
@@tellmestraightor it must be windy where he lives
@@RandyDaGamer I am sure the wind does present extra challenges. No doubt.
Shows his bat to the umpire at the start of the game
Umpire: bursts out laughing
Dan playing well within himself for the YT content 😉
He was holding back or playing way too cautious.
@@tellmestraightindeed. I think it’s the latter or a mix of both
anybody that plays decent table tennis knows that Dan was taking it easy and just fooling around with the man!
Yeah we know that .. this isn't Dan's full game
Except he said he was really trying..
@@xmi11 lol c'mon man.
@@ikaros21 so you're calling Dan a liar..
This guy is nowhere near 2000. He has a smash on high balls and just pushes otherwise. Dan just needed to relax and be more agressive. This guy can't move, has no idea how to handle heavy spin and pace. He can only smash easy balls and push. This is normal for recreational and street players. Make him move. If you get conservative against these guys you can definitely lose. Attack that pushy spin until you get used to it. If Dan played him three actual matches the next day he would soon win every game. This guy would be lucky to get 4 points.
The chillest guy ever
We need to sign Kiki up for Prem british league 😁 the man is a beast!!! 🏓
If it makes you feel any better Kiki also beat one of the top Para players in the world, 2500 rating, in a tournament at this park. Ya done good 👍😄
We have a similar guy at our club who used to be very experienced in street table tennis, and I can confirm he plays amazingly well and went straight to the top of division 1 at the local league
Wow! That's so impressive!!
1900 at best, not sure if Dan really wanted to win but no strategy at all.
Those guys are hardest to beat. No style, no game, but crazy reflexes, and unpredictable.
What are you talking about he did have a style and game. It’s just a style and game Dan and other trained people aren’t used to
@@masterflamewing234 Talking about Table tennis style. Real table tennis players are different. He is more ping-ponger, and he is a good one definitely lol
definitely not the hardest but if you let them play all that junk and give them high balls to smash, they can be trouble.
🔥🔥🔥 love it. This guy is a beast
I would love to see Dan play with that guy indoors, that would be fireworks!
Dan does well whenever he injects pace and/or spin first in this match. Anytime he gets in a push-off, he loses the point
Strong silent type. Respect
Loved the music
That is 6 pack power and wisdom right there
How was he serving again at 9-9 ?
It was 2am and the jet lag was strong 😅
@@TableTennisDaily Nah street game was rigged, you where robbed Dan💀
bro, if you think dan was going all out, you're crazy watch how passive and lazily he plays lol - dan would likely win 11-3 if he played for effort the entire game
@@gab5012
them guys are literally crooks and will rob you in front your face lol. most street hustlers are not honest and cheat@@gab5012
Next man’s in the bushes 😂
hi dan, i am a division 3 leictershire league player and i started 6 months ago, i have used your videos to coach me to the level i am and i hope to keep progressing. thanks so much. Ben
Is the black side long pips or anti spin? He twiddle a lot and only serve with the red side, he did many chop block with black side
He seems to have taught himself to be a chopper and has been playing that style for the last 35 years.
Dude has a flithy repertoire. I work at a large warehouse with a few good ping pong tables, my record is probably about 200-5 over the last year, those African guys are always hard to predict. Also they wouldn't play me for the longest time, but would watch me like hawks, until one day they started to play me
What a legend!
Block for the love of the game! BLOCK
Dan was playing on 30% almost the entire match and got hustled with 2 illegal serves.
It seems that way to me as well. Zero short serves the entire match. And a player at Dan’s level should not be getting stuck in a pushing battle. This smells like a staged video where Dan intended to lose a close one.
Playing in the streets is a different game entirely. The ball reacts differently with the wind blowing, the tables and nets are different, and the play style of street players are really awkward to play against (especially if you're a technically trained player).
@@mjtsirhc Still, I haven't seen that the hustler has applied any advanced move.
First 5 points were made after Dan playing it very conservative (push battle), and yet, the result was 9 vs 5
6 and 7 were odd mistakes from Dan
8 and 9 were illegal serves
10 was - nah
11 was odd miss from Dan
From 11 points, the Hustler earned maybe 2 or 3 (I'm generous)
@@unlearningcommunism4742 As I said, it's not about being technically advanced (he's not). It's about playing against an awkward style that pros don't prepare against.
@@mjtsirhc I don't see any awkwardness... It's some anti-spin table and/or rubber that is not surprising.
Dan had 9 vs 5 without almost any footwork, without a singe short or advanced serve and while playing very "stiff"
Yet, he lost somehow. It looks like deliberate losing
Hey tableTennisDaily i was wondering if you guys could do a review on the hurricane long 5 one time
props to Dan for making it an interesting match for the guy. That guy is def good, prob around 1600 level.
No, know him, he's 1800-1900
I agree 1600 absolute max. Would not handle any pressure at all.
Great content
Take him to ping pod!
amazing level for street hustler
lets get this guy vsing Ma Long
He’s half defender and half attacker. Cool!
For those who think Dan isn't trying... the wind (and the darkness) makes it a lot harder to play outdoors than it looks, which makes defensive shots stronger relative to attacking (which becomes harder due to reduced precision). Sometimes the wind even blows the ball back onto the side it came from after it bounces.
Source: have played on that table (it's in Bryant Park at 42nd St at 5th Ave). It's also quite grippy and so the ball's spin gets transferred to its direction when it bounces, much more than an indoor table, which also affects timing.
GREAAT CONTENT!
When I was in school playing a lot, typically the Asian fellas were the best, but low key, I've played some really good Canadians over the years too. Maybe Montreal or Toronto would be fun for the team, good melting pot of cultures who have guys who can really play.
Dan not even trying!
Which setup he was using?
🔥
World street class my foot. Another random guy. Hah
You are absolutely correct!
should give him the price you offered before
Wow!!!
You should test the new cybershape clipper
Cool!
If you take a donkey ,and trains it as much and as hard as you like ,it can never win the grand national 😂😂😂
3:30 》😁😁😁😁😁
Dan I respect you for making it interesting. But come on how many time you have pushed back a long push to the forehand. I have seen you play some great table tennis but this ain't it.
Adam also played here!
Nice 👍
I thought white shirts weren't allowed in table tennis. Dan, you would have beaten him in a best of five games match.
Easily. If he just played more agressive with sp9in and made the guy move. Easy.
Chill out guys, Dan is just enjoying... Did you notice Dan's racket? I think he used park's racket to play you know the sound of the ball just like an ordinary pimpled blade.
Bros gut game is strong too.
Is that Jeff Mayweather
More 1 set showdown practice maybe?
Kansas city KS
😂😂
It was sposed to be soo eeeeasyyyy
Somebody tag Adam Bobrow.....
he is 1700 rating at most usa
Kiki is a very good twiddler. He likely has some very interesting rubber on the black side, and short pips on his forehand. Nonetheless, he knows how to play very well against loopers.
Know him, has anti-spin on the red regular on black
There's a reason they don't go to Westchester, NY. They won't go to Westford, MA, either.
He must have hit only 5 forehead shots.
Play him indoors and I know who my money would be on.
Honestly both community level in China
You let him serve at 9-9 after he served twice already?
Old? Check
Fat? Check
Beating Dan? Check
from 9-7 to 9-10 he served 3 times :-) Dan did not play legit at all but if the NY guy would do some training for better stance and movement he would be damn ass good
He's basically playing on two fried antitop rubbers on a slow wood. Why don't you attack aggressively every shot? Instead you keep pushing, but he can only block. Not the best strategy.
Also, why do you punt twice against an inverted/pips player?
Play against pongfinity
Whatsup with the high gloss sheen on the table?😮
I mean he wasn't bad and playing outside in the wind with a table that has the Ball bounce different than the professional ones its hard but what did you expect doing all of these super high lobs ? like everyone who plays frequently would be able to just "smash" those .... he didn't even need to do a topspin ^^V
But yeah I also looked bad at similar situations before, weird table, wind and an opponent playing a very "unique" style
Honestly, I get making content is hard but this is really scraping the barrel. Looks like Dan isn't even trying and the reactions from the team saying how high level the guy is are all so fake. Sad to see this content coming out from TTD honestly.
yeah pretty ridiculous video...wasted my time.
Dan would win against him in a indoor hall
Hmm, not your finest hour, it looks like you are playing much slower and with less top spin than you would normally. If it's genuine you should explain the paddle and the conditions that lead you to play like this, otherwise it looks suspect.
Dan had never the best nerves 🙂
Based on the guy’s stomach, if he has done any kind of professional, he has long retired. This match greatly favors Dan. But yes, environment makes a huge difference, especially a bad table. Although, we don’t know if this guy plays here a lot.
He's s regular there, playing 10+ years, so knows tables and conditions inside and out.
This guy has a 7:years old ping ping player level.. 😢
🌎🇪🇨🙂👍🏻
His serve is illegal 🤔
ping pong hustler? What is going on, dude....
How about 500 bucks?
Boys, what is your rating in the world?
This is not even close. There are way better players in Bryant Park. I plated him a while back and beat him easily. You need to play good players and majority of them left that place since the tables are removed and they are all at Ping Pod!
Why are the tables removed?
I’ve played against Kiki before….yes he is a strong street ping pong player in nyc. But he is not the strongest. You haven’t play against Tre, Dino, Tony, or Mandingo. They all have beaten Kiki.
I don't know if you guys are gonna see this but pleasecome to Pakistan there is amazing potential in our country and I would love to play with you?
] Love from PAKISTAN
Amazing potential to get killed it is
Or they can go to London.
metal net. best player in nyc? really 🤣
I thought you are very good playing table Tennis Dan.
Yesterday i played with a friend of mine after 2 years and let me tell you,the way you and the other guy played i can easy say that i can beat you both anytime,anywhere.
Doesnt look like you tried
He is good but not stratospheric, i.e, just drove balls that sat up.
lol yea well anyone rated > USATT 2000 don't bother playing in those conditions for real.
He loses
Wow, they are both incredibly bad.
It's KSI.
lol..."strongest"? this dude is an average non trained rec player
You guys make me laugh. That Kiki doesn't understand anything about backspin or topspin with a lot of effect. He only attacks when the ball goes his way without much spin and he is only good at that. You could have spent 20 years playing table tennis and if you don't understand your opponent's weak point in a few seconds, the decades you have played are of no use. Table tennis is not just about playing and sending the ball wherever you can. You have to send the ball where you want. With Kiki's terrible belly, you should have sent the ball to come out from the sides of the table alternately.
Honestly Dan's level is not great for his affort although he improved a lot during the years... I would play him for a 1000 dollars (just played 3 years in a club with age 13)
Dan pushing 4/5 balls in a row is criminal. Playing like English female players. Push push push
Outdoor table tennis is a different beast
