You did great blocking against his spin Dan! Much improved! Great review, so informative.

[@lsfhd9032]

Yes Dan! 🔥🔥🔥 taking ttd reviews to a new standard. Good job on the vid 😁

[@jram3917]

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.

[@mcocplayer26]

Camera quality is really good keep making videos of this quality

[@jasonsoon7882]

I have been waiting for this video for so long now.... So glad its a long one!

[@hartleytaslim3957]

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

[@guntherschabus3458]

you guys are both valuable evangelists of table tennis and sportsmanship. Keep going, it's really important. ty 4 that

[@user-br6xs1fd8u]

Please do a review of Ma Long Blade with MA LONG!!!

[@Cornerer1]

Communication would be an issue. Let alone Ma Long's intense training schedule.

[@user-br6xs1fd8u]

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.

[@adam-lx9io]

Or Fang Bo blade with Fang Bo 😁

[@user-br6xs1fd8u]

miyako kenji Fang actually uses the same blade Ma Long does.

[@Katarogy]

Иван Иванов they did it in cooperation with Stiga as FZD and XX had to visit stiga corp due to advertisment actions

[@jaff77]

thanks for the review Dan, it would be interesting to compare this wood with the Viscaria.

[@ttCrawsaive]

Multiple cameras, nice studio, awesome Job Dan !

[@CarolinaTT]

This was awesome! Thanks for this.

[@muhammadsohaibimran1402]

Absolutely loved the review

[@david0ade]

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

[@aldopalacios3357]

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.

[@qomarqomarudin7307]

Great review .. thanks a lot

[@louisprice3021]

Yes Dan

[@a.m.3118]

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

[@chamnabkong6472]

Yes Dan! My G :)

[@smc_sennpaii999]

dan could you do a review on the zhang jike alc and then compare it with the viscaria please xD

[@M.T.2007]

Dan or anyone else, what's the difference in speed and spin between stiga mantra m, butterfly rozena and tenergy 05FX

[@diogofernandes4920]

he studied in the same school as me

[@raymondfloyd9046]

marcos is scary good

[@muhammadsohaibimran1402]

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 😂

[@UnseenSpirit]

Muhammad Sohaib Imran like most sports, a pro will make you look terrible

[@epic1053]

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.

[@epic1053]

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.

[@epic1053]

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. source: www.sportsflu.com/table-tennis/earning-table-tennis-player/

[@epic1053]

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.

[@lgeiger]

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

[@tabletennisaddict2221]

L. Gyger Ersatz Blade :D Second Blade , or substitute blade :D

[@williamvasudevan]

Dan could you please review dhs gold arc series?

[@ab-yt6uq]

Please do review with niwa koki

[@tabletennisaddict2221]

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

[@hartleytaslim3957]

Agreed... though I love 05 on my FH and 80 on my BH.. but 80 on FH gives safer shots

[@victorperezespinoza8753]

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.

[@bogdanandreigurbet6892]

You are very smart player the whei how you explain its fantastic bravo Feritas

[@bogdanandreigurbet6892]

Freitas sorry

[@arbimoradian]

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.

[@animaysh]

You're away from table looping is impressive Dan.

[@ShamyTV5k]

freitas is a great player, like him. Please make a review with brazilian hugo :)

[@lakshitsharma7373]

Is there any difference between Tibahar Marcos freitas blade and butterfly Marcos freitas blade

[@casper6579]

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.

[@yvescatuday5330]

Do a review of donic ovthcharov Carbo Speed and Donic baum espirit..

[@user-hp1yx7ro6g]

Marcos did love dignigs when they came out soon after this video didn't he?)

[@jnelly814]

Such a sexy blade. Love the color scheme and the logo. I would love to be able to try it out one day.

[@mcocplayer26]

Zhang jike in a review would be also good

[@val7957]

[@sebastianschneider5326]

Where did you get the maze blade?

[@z0uLess]

I would like to see a review of nittaku acoustic.

[@LanceChhuanaRalte]

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).

[@HumbleBearcat]

Which is faster? Freitas or Viscaria?

[@LanceChhuanaRalte]

@@HumbleBearcat freitas

[@HumbleBearcat]

@@LanceChhuanaRalte Thanks Lance, I know the specs says 6mm but can you measure the thickness if you have digital caliper?

[@LanceChhuanaRalte]

@@HumbleBearcat i dont have it. Sorry

[@HumbleBearcat]

@@LanceChhuanaRalte Please also compare spin & control which is better. Also do u know the weight of each blade? Thanks so much!

[@wanghe7924]

I sold my Freitas Alc not long ago,and bought Viscaria

[@a.m.3118]

Why ? I just bought the freitas...

[@subhasischattopadhyay3157]

VISCARIA is a gold standard for many years for many players...A all in one blade

and I thought this is finally the Aurus Prime review... 😂😭😭🤔

[@lvbucket5468]

Nittaku Review plz

[@1042247858]

If Mizutani blade is Maze ZLC, Freitas blade is Maze ALC ver.2.0

[@dreiz.]

Funny how after Freitas moved to BTY from Tibhar and got his own blade he still plays with MMaze blade.

[@user-so4db6cn9h]

DreiZ in Tibhar he also has his own blade (Tibhar Freitas), but also pays M.Maze.

[@dreiz.]

yep, he even used tenergy back when he was with tibhar as well.

[@klaupe393]

...and this is why they kicked him and Tiago Apolonia out.

[@SuryaKumar-fs2dg]

Which is best alc blade

[@regomellor]

You said you were going to compare freitas to maze blade during the review but you didn't do it

[@amitmnagarwal]

how does it compare to Zhang jike ALC and TIMO Boll ALC

[@MultiSync3V]

He mentioned the TB ALC quite a few times :p

Dan!!! I wanna the Marcos Freitas blade!!!! PLEASE!!!!! with his Sign!!!

[@uddaside]

This blade is similar bit not exactly the same as the Maze, the Maze is softer and the cores are not the same thickness.

[@Soper79]

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

[@realman444]

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)

[@waterboyd]

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.

[@goranmajnaric556]

Who else is watching only for skills? :)

[@jimmoas]

so How many layers of booster did freitas use? 😆

[@Juergen_des_Aufstiegs]

The Construction is: Limba, ALC, Limba and KIRI - It´s not Ayous.

[@kevinfang6005]

marionette2052 but it is

[@Juergen_des_Aufstiegs]

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.

[@user-cg1fv2rs1g]

Marcos does not play his blade by the way

[@muhammadsohaibimran1402]

даниил березнев he does now☺️

[@user-cg1fv2rs1g]

Will see..

[@lgeiger]

He uses his old Maze, which is the same blade with a new designed handle.
