Pin this: To all the good qualities that Dima has, add this one: he's a german with an excellent sense of humor.

[@adrianreysasing2245]

No need to put this is on pinned but playing with of the world top is superb-ly fun 💪

[@AdamBobrow]

That timeout was HILARIOUS!!!! Can you imagine Dima at the Olympics calls "timeout" and runs to train with his coach on the next table for 45 seconds. haha ohhhh man.

[@easytriops5951]

I'm on the ground right now 🤣

[@markusmaier2325]

😂

[@CDam_S]

So invite Dima to the ping pod

[@TableTennisDaily]

Hahaha that would be hilarious! Hey maybe this is something that you could propose to the WTT guys :) Players getting some practice in during the timeout! Funny enough, this timeout I think actually helped Dima in this instance hahaha... Although he would have still found a way to win 😉

[@Shrimp0kUgel]

😂😂😂

[@ran_b]

Dima saying "it's okay" about this pre-made racket just made Butterfly a small fortune.

[@pingsunday]

now, the price of all Butterfly premade rackets is up to the MOON

[@moderndefender]

Dear diary, today was game #14. Dima had to play with a chopstick. I only lost with 9:11. It's getting tighter! Similar result when he had to play the ball with the bat in his mouth. I'm considering letting him play blindfolded next time. What do you think? With love, your Dan.

I’ve been using Ovtcharov alc for months and I love it. However, after watching this video, I decided to switch to this amazing Butterfly Specialist pre-made racket as an upgrade!😙

[@joachimmahoudeaux8619]

The big takeway is that with a pre-made bat Dima can still outclass 99.9% of us mere mortals

Love Dimo's little laughs along the way. Good stuff.

[@HumbleBearcat]

After Dan realized that Dima was adapting fast, he employed the tactic of banging Diva's beloved racket on the table to cause stress on Diva but didn't work.😄

[@Zoazaaa]

2:34 I LITERALLY CANNOT BREATHE. THAT WAS SO CUTE OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jolediko]

2:50 Dima says “Don’t go back stay there.” What a life Dan tips from TT great.

Dima is awesome!!! And that line, "If it makes you feel better"" LOL

Dima, you are a true inspiration to me. Amazing skills. Very kind in person. Lovely!

[@user-kr5jf4hu4u]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@UrbanZakapa01]

I've been looking forward for this kind of content. Dan need to have special series on this, pro with premade vs Dan with pro setup. Gimme like guys to make this a reality.

[@TTDFAN144]

Such an intense match. Could have gone either way. Keep up the great content

[@darekk7459]

That paddle costs $80, it is still a high-end paddle for most amateur players. I wonder how Dima would play with such a seriously amateur paddle for $7.... maybe in the next episode? :D Always nice to see an episode with Dima, he is very nice guy.

[@cameronwest7038]

yeah, nuts expensive. I guess Dan secretly wanted Dima to win.

[@stefanhansen5882]

Great demonstration, showing that skill is more important than gear.

[@Kyle-iw7ly]

What a character Dima is he had me laughing out loud, love the chemistry with both of you

[@ravanpee1325]

Googel about the Neu-Ulm situation in the TTBL last year and you know about his true character

[@RambO5018]

@@ravanpee1325 i actually think Dima was right though... Neu-Ulm had to pull back from Bundesliga due to Dusseldorf´s manager who is also head of the league board interfering. In my eyes there definitely is a conflict of interest, because Neu-Ulm would have been the strongest team on paper, now it´s still Dusseldorf. Everyone in germany would have liked for Harimoto & Moregardh to participate in the league and the matches getting exciting/tight, but the league board didn´t allow it because they both played a single game in another league in that same season. They could´ve suspended them for 2-3 games maybe, but they banned them from the entire season, which is outrageous imo. And by the time a formal objection would´ve come to a solution, half the season would´ve been over, so Neu-Ulm had no other way to go about this.

[@ravanpee1325]

@@RambO5018The manager of Neu-Ulm admitted that he didn't care about the rule and just expected a fine. Also the top players didn't play in the league at all anyway, but just the Russian B-squad. Neu-Ulm knew exactly what they were doing, but were just arrogant because of the money. Also got a wildcard from the league anyway, because of money.

[@ravanpee1325]

@@RambO5018 Also Neu-Ulm never qualified for anything, they just bought their wildcard for the league and the CL in the first place.

[@RambO5018]

@@ravanpee1325 so? expecting a fine and still being able to play the playoffs was the rational thing for a club to do. Also if the players only wanted to join the club with this premise, i don´t really get why it´s necessary to ban them all season? If they have the team to back it up, why not buy in the league if it´s allowed and possible? Sure it´s not 'super sportsmanlike' but banning players from another club that would be a threat to your own club also really isn´t very sportmanlike.

[@adindacakraningrat5613]

Very entertaining, lots of joy and fun, 👍

[@Ahma000]

Dima is such a humble guy, fun video. Thanks Dan. 😉

[@MHTableTennis]

No soup for you Danny boy! :D hahah I could feel the nerves through my laptop screen half a world away :P

[@niklaskras5498]

After hearing "butterfly" i was like "you have no chance" like dima said after the warmup. You should have bought him something from the convenience store for like 10$ but lets see :D Edit: okay closer than i expected. I thought he would just play forehand topspins all the time none the less.

[@TableTennisDaily]

Haha the timeout saved him 🤪

[@dominusblandus]

yeah... after i saw, that the racket actually seems to have a lot of grip... no real chance for Dan

[@seekthetruths22]

A suggestion for the next match: Dan with Dima's equipment VS Dima with a sandpaper bat.

[@zazenforever4940]

I think it is interesting how simple of a game Dima plays against Dan with a very simple setup. Even before the time out he's pushing, blocking, and hitting. Of course hes great at it, but those are simplier shots than many. I need to learn from this.

[@dfrees42]

Dan you needed a time out at 7-9. Go to the other court for some practice lol. Fun match to watch guys!! Knowing Dima’s competitiveness it doesn’t surprise me he would hit the ball back fast “by mistake” then wait for Dan to get the ball and call a time out 😁

[@kilianm7642]

I played ovtcharov while on a table tennis camp, great guy fun to play with

[@unwishfulthink]

ideas for future Dan vs. Dima matches: Dima using frying pan Dima using left hand Dima in blindfold Dima playing while singing Ode to Joy Dima playing while drinking beer

[@TableTennisDaily]

Hahaha love these! He'd still win 😅

[@BloodEmpireGPLP]

Dima is crazy good! I though this one was for Dan, I feel we all need to try specialist now LOL

Butterfly pre-made TT bats are good to some extent as well. It depends on which level of pre-made racket was used.

They are horrible.

It’s good if you compare it to wooden rackets we use at school

[@bryanwells4063]

@@evoo8214 thet definitely are not, look at what dimitrij did with his. Without any time to learn how to use it properly, he beat a semi-pro player of a very high caliber with seeming ease!

[@cldavis33]

My friend and I have been drilling for months using you know...nice blades and rubber, custom built equipment etc. We had these new guys show up at work with like 4 paddles for 30.00 or something. We tried to play with their paddles just for fun - LOLOL, impossible to counter any spins with the cheap rubbers.

love the video. dont feel bad, Dima is one of the top players in the world. i dont think id win even if he use a paper plate

You should have given him one of those all plastic blades like the Cornilleau Tacteo 30

[@Wally-H]

You should have gone to Sports Direct to buy Dima one of those 'reduced in the sale' Dunlop bats, Dan - then you would have had him I reckon 😉

[@owenallenaz]

Now switch, lets see how Dan fares with the Specialist.

[@derll]

Sincerely i didn't find very fair and honest that he took a break in the middle of the match to train his shots.

[@unlearningcommunism4742]

What about giving him the cheapest "Ali Express" style bat? Those cannot make pretty much any spin, while the speed is abysmal. Pre made Butterfly is a spaceship in comparison to the worst thing a little money can buy.

[@jamesmoore4600]

A couple of nets not going your way Dan - could have been very different!

[@TableTennisDaily]

Thanks James, aha so close!

[@erelaction]

Не думал, что дешёвая ракетка создаст такие проблемы одному из лучших игроков мира. 😅 Как будто играл новичок, а не Овчаров.

[@rockys7726]

Next time give him a sandpaper bat.

[@knotwilg3596]

I would actually have thought it made less of a difference. Seems like he was really affected in his attacking shots. I wonder if that says something about the quality of the bat or just the fact he needs to get used to another type of response.

[@bryanwells4063]

it is just a different rubber than he is used to, he needs to hit the ball in a different way If he trained for an hour or tso with that blade, he would probably be playing a similar proficiency to his regular bat. Of course, there would be a lack of spin and speed needed at the top level, but he would absolutely destroy any non world tour tournament with that racket.

Racquet is a really important part of the game. I say 50 50 along with technique. You can see that Dimas game with that premade is 10x worse than his usual game and that his adjusted all his strokes to smash..
