You did great blocking against his spin Dan! Much improved! Great review, so informative.
Camera quality is really good keep making videos of this quality
I have been using di MF ALC since mid 2017.. My most favorite blade so far with T05 and T80.. Although had used TB ALC in 2009 , M.Maze in 2011, Primorac, Schlager, TB ZLC, Viscaria, Sardius and several others before
Freitas's style is played beautifully with consistent high arc shots, his every shot requires big movements. His backhand is very similar to Timo Boll, the difference is that he plays better at long distance and slower tempo than Timo Boll, Boll can counter hit off the bounce shots more than Freitas can, Freitas usually wait for the ball longer to counter the shots. The reality of Table Tennis is that you need all speed/spin/power to be the best and not just spin, the Chinese can easily counter Freitas and Timo's spin focused style. Someone like Xu Xin probably have everything that Frietas is good at
Loved everything about the blade minus the weight, great review, your videos are improving every time and you level of play as well, good job.
Please do a review of Ma Long Blade with MA LONG!!!
Communication would be an issue. Let alone Ma Long's intense training schedule.
Cornerer Well,they somehow managed to do a review of stiga carbonado with Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong,I don't think Ma Long's training schedule is more intense than these two guys.
Or Fang Bo blade with Fang Bo 😁
miyako kenji Fang actually uses the same blade Ma Long does.
Иван Иванов they did it in cooperation with Stiga as FZD and XX had to visit stiga corp due to advertisment actions
Yes Dan! 🔥🔥🔥 taking ttd reviews to a new standard. Good job on the vid 😁
you guys are both valuable evangelists of table tennis and sportsmanship. Keep going, it's really important. ty 4 that
thanks for the review Dan, it would be interesting to compare this wood with the Viscaria.
I have been waiting for this video for so long now.... So glad its a long one!
Multiple cameras, nice studio, awesome Job Dan !
Outstanding video. Thank you so much. I'm purchasing a MF blade to replace my TB CAF. It will be my first ALC blade. Hope its not too heavy.
Like, watch, comment :D
92 grams?! Wow, the heaviest I've found was an 88g Freitas ALC. I bought one as my ersatz blade. I am still playing with my 92g Maze Off. It's the best blade I've ever had in my hands. The Freitas ALC feels almost identical to my Maze. My old Maze feels a little bit softer, but as Marcos said, it's because of all the sweat that went through the handle into the wood and the outer veneer is also a little stiffer on the new one, because I glued my old one a lot more obviously. "The new Michael Maze blade can be produced with my name on it". It's funny when people think they can feel a difference between "the" Maze and "the" Freitas, because they just renamed it. The only difference is the handle and the design on it. Obviously every blade feels different, because it's made of a natural material: wood.
I like the signature shot of Michael Maze Marcos played there, the backhand sidespin :D
L. Gyger Ersatz Blade :D Second Blade , or substitute blade :D
Dan or anyone else, what's the difference in speed and spin between stiga mantra m, butterfly rozena and tenergy 05FX
This was awesome! Thanks for this.
dan could you do a review on the zhang jike alc and then compare it with the viscaria please xD
Nittaku FastArc series becomes more and more popular in europe. Maybe review these ones. Would be great. Greetings from germany. Keep it up guys. Very sympathic and helpfull videos
Absolutely loved the review
A tip from me : try this blade with tenergy 80 2.1 on forehand in my eyes more concistent on underspin and the normal Topspin with this blade then 05 is
Agreed... though I love 05 on my FH and 80 on my BH.. but 80 on FH gives safer shots
It makes me laugh to see how tough the pros really are🤣🤣. Dan was putting alot of effort and yet freitas shrugged him off without breaking a sweat 😂
Muhammad Sohaib Imran like most sports, a pro will make you look terrible
Dan isn't a pro. Dan at his best was ranked around 60 in England(which is a really good standard,however Dan still was never good enough to be pro.)Anyone who plays table tennis professionally is at least top 10. I know players who are better than Dan, but have regular jobs or coach. Due to injury Dan wasn't able to practice, as a result his playing standard fell. Currently if Dan probably plays around top 250-200 england standard which is very far from pro.
I consider a pro someone who can make a comfortable living off of purely table tennis with out having to coach or have a side job. Maybe you're using a different definition to me?
Dan would be around 2350 in the US at his best making him ranked around 160th in the US.
www.experttabletennis.com/converting-usatt-ratings-uk-rankings/
I highly doubt the 160th seed in US plays table tennis professionally. To play professionally you usually need to be able to play in a top European league, in the highest division, such as in the german league, belgum league, french league. Sometimes the second division such as in the french league and german league is enough to get a salary, but these leagues are extremely competitive and the amount you will earn isn't alot. Darius knight is ranked number 8 in england and a couple of years ago he played in the second division in france meaning he barely plays to professional standard. Most people playing in British league at the highest division don't even earn a decent salary, the better players might earn a match fee of a couple of hundred a match which could equated to 4000-5000, if they play alot of matches over a season. Weaker players might have their travel paid and that's it. A coach at my club was ranked 17th in england(would be ranked around 2550 in the US) and he still worked a normal job during that time. A ranking off 2600+ is more likely to be pro which would make you top 20 in the US.
Oxford definition of a professional:
Engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as an amateur.
Cambridge definition :
Used to describe someone who does a job that people usually do as a hobby
Anyone is considered professional once they earn a salary directly from said sport, regardless of ranking, I was using ranking to show that Dan isn't good enough to be pro by comparing his ranking to a typical pros. Someone ranked 500+ in football can be pro provided they make an income.
There is more money in football so obviously there is more football professionals.
Ovtcharov makes very good money from table tennis. Anyone with a world ranking better than 100 will. Could you provided me evidence of Ovtcharov saying he barely makes an income?
Dimitrij Ovtcharov and Timo Bollgot paid $16000 per match in the Chinese super league. I wouldn't be suprised if Ovtcharov makes a million or more a year.

I literally sent you the definition of professional according to Cambridge and oxford... Obviously, that matters more than your opinion on what professional is.... your opinion is that anyone who enters tournaments is pro, which is stupid since literally anyone can enter tournaments, basement level players regularly do. I'm going to assume that your opinion is actually that anyone that plays table tennis to a decent standard is professional, which again differs from that actually definition that has been established. You can't just make up your own definition for a word. The literally definition of A professional depends on whether or not someone makes an income from said sport.
I agree that Dan is a excellent table tennis player, but by definition he is not professional.
Secondly, There is no contradictions I have stated very clearly the definition of a pro, being someone who makes an income from said sport.
I am extremely passionately about Table tennis(I play table tennis in the highest county division where there are 5 divisions, i've played since I was 15 and i'm currently 21.)However it's a hard fact that there is less money in table tennis compared to football, and therefore less opportunity to become professional. This does not mean that I consider table tennis trash. Table tennis has many great aspects, an amateur table tennis player has greater longevity than say a football player. Honestly i'm still waiting for evidence that Dimitrij Ovtcharov said that be barely makes an income because I know for a fact that you just made that up.
Hi, i want to ask what are you thinking about hurricane 3 neo. I'm playing table tennis professional 1 year and i would want to buy this cover.
I had the maze racket and this one had a better sweet spot, this Madero fries has a very narrow tip, it's like the narrower end of the egg.
Dan could you please review dhs gold arc series?
he studied in the same school as me
Where did you get the maze blade?
Zhang jike in a review would be also good
lmao
Which is best alc blade
I sold my Freitas Alc not long ago,and bought Viscaria
Why ? I just bought the freitas...
VISCARIA is a gold standard for many years for many players...A all in one blade
@@subhasischattopadhyay3157 and what do you think about the dhs301 ? Should be the same as viscaria
Please do review with niwa koki
How the best?marcofreitas,timobol alc,zhangjike alc,viscaria?
You're away from table looping is impressive Dan.
My previous blade is viscaria and i just started using this blade with the same old rubber, i found out that it is little bit faster, but my topspin is way spinier than before (Viscaria).
Which is faster? Freitas or Viscaria?
@@HumbleBearcat freitas
@@LanceChhuanaRalte Thanks Lance, I know the specs says 6mm but can you measure the thickness if you have digital caliper?
@@HumbleBearcat i dont have it. Sorry
@@LanceChhuanaRalte Please also compare spin & control which is better. Also do u know the weight of each blade? Thanks so much!
Marcos did love dignigs when they came out soon after this video didn't he?)
The way this guy (Marcos) talks it feels like he is a rocket scientist or something. LOL thanks goodness I never got to be real good.
how does it compare to the Zhang jike alc ?
Is there any difference between Tibahar Marcos freitas blade and butterfly Marcos freitas blade
You are very smart player the whei how you explain its fantastic bravo Feritas
Freitas sorry
Yes Dan! My G :)
Yes Dan
how does it compare to Zhang jike ALC and TIMO Boll ALC
He mentioned the TB ALC quite a few times :p
I would like to see a review of nittaku acoustic.
Do a review of donic ovthcharov Carbo Speed and Donic baum espirit..
Great review .. thanks a lot
Such a sexy blade. Love the color scheme and the logo. I would love to be able to try it out one day.
too much money on that table
marcos is scary good
freitas is a great player, like him. Please make a review with brazilian hugo :)
CAN YOU PLEASE REVIEW THE BUTTERFLY SK CARBON? PLEASE....
review the jike alc
Funny how after Freitas moved to BTY from Tibhar and got his own blade he still plays with MMaze blade.
DreiZ in Tibhar he also has his own blade (Tibhar Freitas), but also pays M.Maze.
yep, he even used tenergy back when he was with tibhar as well.
...and this is why they kicked him and Tiago Apolonia out.
Please show Ventus basic rubber
Does Dan play in a local team or something ?
Please do with zhang jike with zhang jike blade please
please review xiom feel zx3 and Omega 7 tour plz plz
You said you were going to compare freitas to maze blade during the review but you didn't do it
Please review timo ball alc blade with him
th-cam.com/video/MAiMy8vtylE/w-d-xo.html :)
I have a MF blade, that I had signed with Marcos back in 2016.
If Mizutani blade is Maze ZLC, Freitas blade is Maze ALC ver.2.0
and I thought this is finally the Aurus Prime review... 😂😭😭🤔
Nittaku Review plz
seems like there are no pros left who are playing all wood. they've all gone to these carbon blades since the plastic ball from what i've seen
Soper79
Fan Zendong use all wood blade (Stiga infinity ntc 5) hi is World Nr.2 (can be Nr.1 becouse hi is young).Emanuel Lebesson use cheap all wood blade with evolution fx-p soft rubbers,Europian champion 2016 in Hungary Hi won the tournament,bit everyone who played with uncontrollable carbon blade (excluding inner layer,innerforce ) hi bit timo boll etc....Ma Long Nr.1 use innerforce (DHS W968 ) Alc layer close to core)
Please review blade Xiom ice cream
This blade is similar bit not exactly the same as the Maze, the Maze is softer and the cores are not the same thickness.
No!!! Ayous core. this very wrong info. you can confirm by compare Apolonia is Ayous core. the core wood texture Freitas unlike Apolonia. Freitas is Kiri core the construction like Mitzutani Jun except carbon type.
i need one! please?
Dan!!! I wanna the Marcos Freitas blade!!!! PLEASE!!!!! with his Sign!!!
The blood, the tears and all the victories
so How many layers of booster did freitas use? 😆
falcon punch!
Who else is watching only for skills? :)
Marcos does not play his blade by the way
даниил березнев he does now☺️
Will see..
He uses his old Maze, which is the same blade with a new designed handle.
leon unter jedem relevantem tt video :D
the conclusion, mf alc blade is good blade to feed multiballs
kidding
it is really ! thats the funny thing ;)
What's with all the grunting.?
it's good for timing your shots.
Yeah, if you're playing tennis. ;-)
Yeah, it's just too much....! 😒
They're communicating with the whales.
@@GrantGarner 😯 now it makes sense, thank you! Did you know this Harimoto haters!? It's not about distraction it's about communication 😊
This is more of a drooling over Marcos video, not a blade review. (Don't get me wrong, I would too). :P
Can I have one with rubber😂
The Construction is: Limba, ALC, Limba and KIRI - It´s not Ayous.
marionette2052 but it is
Compare the Structure of an Ayous Core with a Kiri Core, than you will see the difference.The Apolonia Blade has an Ayous Core for example.
the sound that player made during hitting ball is so annoying. unfortunately it is contagioning like virus.
200 dollars. goddamn
why he say ıh ıh
Look at dans butt
Plz😅
tenergy 05 are too hard for the Maze.....05fx better suted.
ビー玉が嫌
I dont Like design...very narrow face!!
