I Played Vs European Champion Dang Qiu

Hey what’s going on guys, recently I had the amazing opportunity to hang out with the 2023 European Champion Dang Qiu!
In this video I do a bit of training with Dang, tested out his equipment and even made him play shakehand in a match, to see if I had any sort of chance! Of course Dang Qiu is one of the best penhold players in the world right now, this wasn't going to be easy!
Dang currently uses Dignics 09C on both sides of his bat.
Enjoy!

Dang is such a nice guy very down to earth! Inspirational athlete in every way

[@kyawhsuthway4272]

Ngl, Qiu Dang has one of the most aesthetically pleasing techniques among European players. His rpb and counter spin motions look almost poetic.

[@Mr._MvN]

Dan is a very nice and knowledgeable guy . Also solid explanation by Dang for his equipment choice.

[@aerotus888]

Only one problem. 09c is £80 a sheet.

[@bizzlezip]

No problem, the rubber goes a looong way.

[@patmcc7758]

It's worth it.

[@konstantin6567]

I don't think it's more durable. I would chose a Bluestar A1 or A2 instead

[@TheMarceldasilva]

Doesn't matter if you are lucky enough to be sponsored haha

[@leonawroth2516]

Everybody here is most likely not even close to their level and it's a waste of money to get those high end rubbers.

[@ajoydas-Watch-It]

Such a nice guy, watched him life win his Championship against Darko in the Rudi Sedelmeyer Arena. First Pro table tennis match I ever attendet. The speed was unreal. Shout out and Congratulations Dang and best of luck hope to see you many years to come. Thx vor the video Dan!

[@TheBoss-ro3iu]

Dang is a very pleasant athlete to watch. Win or lose, he keeps it calm and full of positivity.

[@TTDFAN144]

Incredible video, you’ve improved so much Dan!!

[@AndersLindFan]

Lol the Timo head.😅

[@MikeyiOS]

Dan the improvement is visible! Keep going next year ttd will be a blast

[@TableTennisDaily]

Hey thanks Mikey! Will keep grafting haha! 2028 TTD Knockout champion 😁😍

[@MikeyiOS]

@@TableTennisDaily that would be amazing

[@bryanwells4063]

@@TableTennisDaily just need to open up that forehand a little and gain more confidence. Your techinique is the embodiment of Timo, spin spin spin, but you gotta harness some Ma Long and let out the POWER!!! lol. Best of luck on the next TTD Championship!

[@oriontvv]

After this advice your backhand looks much more simmillar to Timo's one. Dang is such cheerful btw) well done

[@marcusbrsp]

Dang, Dan! That is a fast forehand.

[@idrivearttabletennis]

Great video. It would be a hoot to play some with Dang Qui (for that matter, I'd love to play Dan).

[@TTDJoe]

Man he really rips those forehands🤯

[@joachimmahoudeaux8619]

For those who don’t remember, Dang was the first chinese rubber released by Tibhar, I put 2 of them on my blade when I started table tennis in the 80’s and that’s how I developed a strong and spinny backhand, so I guess Dang Qiu’s thought on playing a chinese rubber on the backhand is spot on, but you have to start early. Also at that time we could use speed glue if needed, and the Dang rubber was insane then, that clicky high end sound with even more tackiness and spin was terrifying 😅

[@JimmyOlsson]

You're absolutely killing it, Dan! You're still improving! Fantastic content as always!

[@GafTTD]

What a player 🖊 🏓

[@user-qc9wy4qy4v]

I love Dang Qiu

I had to LOL!...at the Timo Boll..LOL!

[@fabianonavarrooficial2606]

Fantastico esta duplas

[@user-yc2hw8us7t]

Decent defeat for Deng 0:2 Dang Qiu. In the test match Dan played the second game quite well and was close to winning 1 set. And in training Den managed to play on par with Dang Qiu. How strong and fast Dang Qiu is can be clearly seen from the side camera.Greetings from Ukraine!

[@TableTennisDaily]

Hey thanks for the comment:) Agreed that side angle really shows how fast and low he is to the table! Amazing technique 🔥

[@ludoprovo]

Wow I didn't think he could be so strong with shakehand...

[@Alleis]

Hype

[@Hang_1995]

He is one of my favorite penholder ❤， he is using a custom super alc blade.

[@user-xs9cl8in6t]

Qiu ❤❤❤❤

[@citylidamj8898]

Dang Qiu can also make the Dima sound 😂

[@chimyshark]

haha

[@tt_highlights]

We want to see shakehand dang vs penhold dima now😅

[@patrickkyle7311]

You should do it too with shakehand players, put then to play penhold grip against you

[@sambitbasak765]

I think he’s already done that with dima

[@wayzooted]

He plays similar to FZD with shakehand.

[@KingStone-ek8lt]

Pls review the nittaku fastarc g-1

Sehr sympatisch

Salut les mecs!!!

I wish I dould say the same.

[@ashik8960]

Hi bro put a review about tibar zodiac Libra zac blade

[@ingmarwendland5731]

Diesen Trainer möchte ich auch mal haben, wenn ich groß bin.

[@cstmex4937]

Usually when I see Dan play pros, I feel like he holds back a little. Not even on the service but mostly on the topspin rally’s I feel like he plays hesitant. Maybe just because the quality is so good with the pros. Idk. I just thought he played better here

[@statistikochspss-hjalpen8335]

How often do you need to change rubber as a pro player?

[@TTChala]

I love dan, but being his fan is so haaard, he always makes me suffer during his matched, he never has an easy game Does someone has any details on his blade?

[@omvijay8456]

Why has this video been re uploaded btw?

[@jameslin2311]

Typo. His name was mistaken for Dang Qui during the match.

[@omvijay8456]

@@jameslin2311 thanks

[@guillermomorales9157]

What blade Dan use ? 🤔😳

[@paramrajput9416]

but which blade does dang qiu use?

[@vilaizvor7912]

Pro players are miles away from amateurs or half profesionals. Dan is a very good semi profesional player and still gets woopt with shake hand grip...

[@peterh4117]

who thinks dan should review fastarc g1?

[@No-ub5ju]

reupload ?

[@irtiza4262]

Pretty much the same reason why dima chose 09c

[@dennistv5505]

Best Rubber its K3

[@jasonwong9605]

Dang wasn’t even playing pen hold 😭

[@nabeelansari475]

when are you going to play against a top chinese player bro

[@andreivlad798]

What kind of blade Dan Qiu is using?

[@RK-kq2dt]

Timo Boll ALC in a special penholder version as far as I know.

[@andreivlad798]

It looks like innerforce layer alc

[@ngrx8750]

Custom innerforce alc

[@RK-kq2dt]

@@ngrx8750 No, it is definitely a custom Timo Boll ALC. Dang has his own website where he confirms that.

[@jerry6366]

Invite Ma Long

[@konstantin6567]

Tibhar K3 and Bluestar A1/A2 are better and cheaper too. 😅

[@marekbily8677]

Is Bluestar series better than Acuda ?

[@konstantin6567]

@@marekbily8677 definitely! More Speed and Spin, but more suitable for advanced players.
