Dima seems a great guy . I always enjoy when he or Timo is featured here.

That's the best your forehand has ever looked, Dan. I want to see you hitting like that in the league next year!

Dimitrij: You know ... **plays the ball to Dan for demonstration purposes, but nontheless sends a palistic missile** @5:01

You got coached by Timo's coach and now Dima. No excuses anymore, Dan! 😂

One of the best coaching sessions I've seen! In my opinion Dima does this way better than Timo. I think that Timo is so extremely gifted with his talent that he can't grasp the struggles of the average player compared to Dima who was always said to work hard for his success.

6:34 . Holy shit Dan, you actually had a backhand for a little bit there! Amazing what a good coach can do. Fantastic episode, Dimi is able to communicate the nuances so clearly.

Dima forgot to give you the single most important tip. Do "ooh aah" while hitting the ball to generate power! :P

Dan, this is really a great training session because we can watch clearly the difference in quality of shots between an advance player and a pro player. It is highly educational for those that want to develop their technique to watch a pro player coaching an advanced player. Wish more pro players can teach like Dimitrij so more videos like this are uploaded to the internet.

07:27 sounds like the "why you have to be mad" guy

This is the precise reason why many of the former professionals are excellent coaches. They have the right technique, tons of practises and lots of experiences. Plus they have the knowledge of the modern game with the adaptation of the equipment that changed the dynamics of the sport itself. Dima mentioned at the end of the video about 'closing up' because the traditional 'loop to loop' attack is largely negated by the harder ABS plastic less spiny table tennis balls. Therefore, the fundamental technique of 'power from the legs' is a lot more apparent to generate even more spins. Thus the player must need be closer to the table than looping from a distance. Hence Table Tennis is now having harder sponge in the rubber, various materials and advanced technologies to the paddle to customize each player for their maximum potential. These changes of adaptations now require a change of playing styles. There will no doubt be more changes ahead as the sport will evolve itself.

Love this! Both Dima and Timo are so kind and relaxed guys. Great teachers as well!

Thank you very mutch for sharing these high quality advices/teaching!

Dima is just ridiculous! Top quality player and person🔥 this is the type of videos that makes me not lose hope in quarantine 🏓 Thanks Dan!!🔥🔥

what a chill guy :D so ambitious yet calm, love it

Dimas accent is so funny it's like a Russian German mix, absolutely amazing :D

What a coach!! Good that he gives praise,even if the shot may not always get executed. Technique... and power. Great vid. Great tips.

Yeah, Dima really really must be a cool guy. It must be so much fun to play with him. And his backhand is unbeleivable. But Dan, you did well, too! Thanks for the upload!

Great, great video! Really thanks to Dima for those advices and to Dan for making this video. Looks like Dima might become a very good coach and he likes giving advice much more than other professionals you played with. Leaning body forward during backhand is a super one for me. I've recently started changing my backhand to a more correct one and I'm lack power and probably that's the reason why. Will try it today.

Thank you for do this video, I really like how dima play and seeing he teaching some one its so good to take improve my movements, thanks for this video.

so sick. must feel amazing to crack the ball that hard and just know it's goin on the table. i play as much as i can but with terrible equipment in a driveway and only in the summer when the weather is good, so it's tough to get that type of feeling. still gonna keep watchin ttd vids through the winter tho!

1 minute in and I can only IMAGINE how much of a treat this must've been. This is the sort of training you really want when you're already capable. Being pushed by someone much better is a great way to learn and get better.

This was a amazing video, GREAT JOB TTD !!!🏓🏓👍🏻

Great ! Many thanks to Dima for sharing this with you (and with us).

Fantastic video Dan. I’m really enjoying these coaching videos.

Love your vids with Dima. He seems to give it absolutely 100% probably more than any other pro you’ve played which is a testament to the man. I wouldn’t like to be the player in his training group turning up late with a hangover.

I completely agree the fact that when Ovtcharov retires, he's gonna be a good coach for starters and pro players. The way he explains, demonstrates and shows the way he'd do, is so simple to understand. After a player understood his words, the rest is practice, practice and practice. Very nice video. I really loved it every second of it.

Thank you so much DAN!!!!!!! I really got so much techniques and lessons from you both and especially some special lessons Dirmitrij. I respect you ALL!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!

PURE FUN WATCHING! ABSOLUTE RESPECT TO BOTH OF YOU!!!

What a spectacular video, very rich content. It's really cool to see a high level professional dedicate his time to teach, Dima seems to be very nice guy. Hugs from brazilians fans.

Wicked session. Taking a lot from that. Great angles for the video, great commentary by Dima. He really knows how to get a point across verbally. And yeah, he's ok across the table, as well. Haha, wow, what a player!

Great demo by Dima and Dan, and very powerful backhand. this really requires a strong relaxed muscles, I injured my self due to not strengthening my muscles, so watch out for that guys.

Great video as always great consistency !!

Great job dan.. always fun to watch ttd❤️❤️🔥🔥

Omg I’m so glad this video was released, I have a similar style to Dan and the advice from dima in this video helped me improve my game by an insane amount within one day.

Relaxing the arm on the forehand is crucial for having a next level top spin. I recently played a chopper and kept dumping them into the net until I realized that I wasn't snapping the paddle through the backspin. Good job Dan! I admire your courage to train with a professional.

I think how you lean forward and then use both wrist and underarm was the best advice that I learned from this little coaching session.

This is the best coaching session I've ever received.. Much love❤️ from Nigeria 🇳🇬

Always nice to Comeback After a break caused of an injury and memorize some Important Things ! Much love and Thanks ❤️

That was an excellent video. Please share more videos about what to practice on.

Very nice stuff. Would be great to see you practicing these tips in another vid

Fantastic video. Hearing that he once trained with up to 1000 balls a day... waoh! Also his tip about not leaning backwards when executing, is my favorite. 👌🏾

More of this please....great video

Great video. Thanks so much. Please go on Dan. This series must be go on wirh another pro players

What a cool dude he is. Super nice and seems like he could be a great coach

And I really thought, I could watch quietly a public restauran video with Dima. What a fool I was :D

I liked the advice to practice a move without worrying (for a while) whether it makes it back to the table.

Just learned so much 💞

Amazing video.I improved my forehand a little because of Dima.Very good coach

Nice! You did a pretty good job too. Had some nasty backhand loops at the end. For me the most useful tip is that he doesn’t backup when backhand looping and stands his ground while leaning forward.

I learned so much only from watching this video thanks Dan

Well done Dan. Maybe Dima has show you that you can push yourself and achieve more than you think. So often it's really about confidence. We all fear missing the table and it makes us hold back on our shots more than we should. I'm definitely going to try pushing it a bit more at my club tomorrow night

Very good advise! Thanks dima

Great video! Dima has such a big knowledge. I'd like to see Anton Kallbergs aound-the-nets at 3:35

Good video, Ovtcharov pointed out one thing I always think about when you play. "You just go 50%, try to go 100%"

Wonderful coaching from Dima, you are so lucky dude

Great video buddy. Very helpful

we need more of this

SUper duper ulta nice Video very impressive and inspirative . CANT WAIT for Friday and try this things out !!! THX ALOT !!

Really nice to see Dima coaching 👍

Man that BH is dynamite, how he finds the table at that speed is sick, great vid

Дима лучший тренер!!! Хотел бы я такой колчинг для себя. Буду пересматривать этот урок время от времени. Dima take you for your lesson.

Great tips. Really helpful

Dima is a good player, coach and equipment reviewer. I like that in a professional table tennis player

Dan, it is very impressive that you can keep up with Dimitri in a pretty intense training session. The way he demonstrated the forehand with the short swing and the full swing was incredible. And you still managed to block it.

Nice Dan I’m happy for you, hope you have a good day!

Not just dmitri, the amount of practice these guys have put in in younger years is almost unimaginable, and it shows!

7:27 again a glorious voice crack vom Dima

I like his cracking voice. So sweet.

I really enjoyed the video and are only a little jalous ;-) Thank you for sharing. The best advise for me was also "Dont lean back", go for it.

best tip for me: not beeing "afraid" and leaning back... but trusting in your backhandshot and go for it. I do too often find myself in trying to play "safe", therefore leaning a bit back and then not hitting the ball well enough or even at all / too far from the body... having a shot without power

Backhand power. Dima is a real champ, such a nice guy.

I swear I was literally trying to find the answer to my question for so long and couldn't until this vid. I was wondering when drilling if I should hit ball more for consistency or play more realistic shot. Like Dima said, play 100%! Thank you

I think Dim would be a great coach. He is thinking so much about TableTennis and he is able to give his tipps in an understandable way

I learned so much just watching this.

Mesmerizing counters!

what a backhand.. absolutely legend..

What a coach, amazing!

"Go back 10 cm" the attention to detail is amazing!

i learn backhand today when i play my backhand it was amazing lot of quality and block but it was good feeling when I play backhand like you and dima and I didn't miss any ball too

so helpfull coaching session even for me while watching. In my opinion the most usefull tip is: ''i never step back when someone will play to my backhand''

Dima's backhand top spin is faster than my forehand smash.

Hi! Amazing video. Can you make equipment reviews of the other companies like Darker? There is no video about this company and it would be amazing. I love this channel! Thanks for all of these videos. You're incredible. :D

Lovely guy and a great player

very beautiful. thank you so much

Great video!

congrats to OVTCHAROV got the bronze medal ！

5:07 Dans subtle cue that he did get hit in that special area. "Its Nuts" he says!

DIMITRIJ is a genuinely nice guy :)

Like the tip to use Dima blade. Improved my play beyond belief.

Perfect!!

Dima is probably the most philosophical European player out there, not surprised to see him in the podium and beyond in the future~

Oh my, Dima's forehand is so fast it's insane.

Pls make more like this , they very usefull

Dima always cool, that 's nice.

great one ! thanks

I even can't hit that kind of power of Dima's backhand with my forehand.It's just insane with that kind of backhand.

amazing fh dan and bh.. hope u can use what u learned in the ttd League games

Oh dear lord thank you thank you thank you Dima omg. I tried the multiball with feeling and realized the most power comes from the top end of my racket. Time it. Hold. Spring. And more accurate. Thank you thank you thank youuu

I didn’t put ear pods while watching and got scolded by my MOM 🤣 By the way the BH was ridiculously Awesomeeee 💪🏽🏓
