Butterfly sponsored Brian Pace has recently ventured out onto his own as a free agent to form his own company, Dynamic Table Tennis (DTT). A project 15 years in the making, Pace made the tough decision to leave his sponsor of 23 years in order to pursue a project so near and dear to his heart that he felt he needed to do it himself.

DTT is a series of 7 video training system that will be available on DVD, and also in two downloadable formats: (that cost less than the DVD) Windows Media and Quicktime MP4. The videos center around what Pace calls “Dynamic Harmony” which is a “systematic approach to how to play each shot technically perfect” and applies to every stroke that the series covers. It is designed to be watched repeatedly in order to strengthen your skill with each stroke. Thankfully it looks like the music actually bearable to listen to if you like it, and paced evenly with the video enough that you can ignore it if electronic music isn’t your taste.

What is admirable is that this is the first time an American Table Tennis player has done something like this fueled entirely by self-determination. Most training videos available today are sponsored by major retailers like Killerspin or Butterfly and feature European and/or Asian players, and at times are more often advertisement or interview fluff than substantial content. DTT looks to crush those stereotypes and be the first high quality American Table Tennis training video series. The first installment, Textbook Table Tennis is now available on his site. After the jump is a 5 minute long sample of the video.
