Timo Boll different BH rubber?

[romanzdk]

Hi, anybody noticed Timo Boll's BH rubber is more reddish than FH? One is T05 and second? Has Timo changed one T05 for Tibhar Evo? Stiga Mantra?

I think they look the same, it just seems different because the backhand has a red topsheet. Was confused for a second as well.

Are you sure about fh that it is t05? The trajectory of bh was surely of t05, and was ball usually would look from timo. His fh looked a bit different. Maybe Chinese coach and some change on fh rubber ?

Well Im not sure of course, and now when looking more, the BH sponge looks more like Tenergy than FH. FH is more orange which could be some Hurricane maybe.

its tenergy on both sides , you don't need to look a the picture , you can see how he played the short balls in yesterday's match and against Harimoto to tell which rubber he is using ...

It is next to impossible that Boll would use a non-Butterfly rubber. He is extremely loyal to his sponsor. You can never rule out a new Butterfly technology - but I am not so sure he´d play something not on any official list during a tournament. So if it´s not one of the new rubbers on the LARC which aren´t officially available yet (but legal to play) it would most likely still be t05.

If you take orange and it is next to black, the orange would look a little different than if you took the same orange and had it next to red. I think this is probably why they seem different to you. Our brain does that in processing the information. If you look closely enough, you can see through the effect and discern the actual color.

Yes, it could be the "National" tenergy...

How a little science can spoil all the fun

No really, on a German forum there are often even discussions about sponge colours and blades used, based on mobile phone snapshots from video cubes 20 meters above the floor ...

I have abstained from commenting so far because I find these kinds of threads to say a lot about the people posting them. I remember on another forum, someone used a bad picture to argue that Dima may have swithched to T80. But if you looked at the picture, it was so hard to read the numbering that you could just as well have said it was a bad picture. But when you want to start rumors, you will start rumors, no need for pictures.

These are both really great posts. Thank you. More people really should hit the like button on both of these.

Apparently this is our version of whether the dress is blue or black ...

 

[ttmonster]

Funny .... normally the running joke in american culture is with Tuxedos

 

[Tryzerlol]

I was thinking about posting a picture of the dress but I'm afraid of what it might start here

And of course forumers someimes claim to have super EJ powers. Once I saw a forumer argue that Jin Mitzutani had switched from a ZLC to a sZLC because he could see the different trajectory of the ball coming off his blade on youtube videos.

Surely one for the hall of fame

That is taking it too far of course, but surely we can tell if its European rubber or Hurricane from the way shots are played , especially the short balls , ... .
