To go along with my post on the emerging counter loop era I also noticed for male double inverted attackers there’s a clear divergence of equipment usage into 2 distinctive lines of thinking:
There’s the ESN Jap type + crisp outer koto facing setup - think Hugo, Truls, LJY (even though he was MIA) and WCT/QD or,
Inner composite high dwell bigger head shape limba facing: Japan NT, Korea NT, ML, WCQ, Pitchford, Lebrun bros?
FZD, LJK and Ng Pak Nam (HKG) can be considered the third more minor group using H3 blue sponge FH + outer koto. I have a feeling Ng Pak Nam might be better served experimenting with H3 + inner limba as his lack of physicality was clear to see when he lost convincingly to JWJ.
