Broken WCQ blade

[Musaab]

There should be a reason why he was so furious, why not his second blade would just perform the same ? some ppl were talking about boosting, that is, the broken was boosted but the second wasn't yet and we all know boosting take some time. I myself going for another theory being a long time hurricane user. When I buy a new sheet, it just takes at least two sessions before it is fully functional !!. I know he gets the best hurricanes but I'm not sure if those have this very issue as well ?

On the scale of things that could upset an athlete, it’s certainly not the smallest issue. Very unfortunate and there should be some accountability for the person who broke it (suspended media credentials or additional training on staying away from important things/areas). Doesn’t take anything away from his opponent who won and I wouldn’t hold it against Wang for getting upset. Just unfortunate situation and lack of care in a chaotic moment. Not the first time the overzealous nature of photographers had consequences for their intended subjects…

They can't re-glue boosted rubber to similar Q968 blade?
They have couple of blades? - yes. Rubber can be re-glued even after booster? - yes.

I have to disagree, the guy huimself threw his blade in anger before, now it is the most precious thing ever ?

They're both boosted, but one is used at all practices and the other is just barely broken in.

I didn't understand why it laid on the ground neither.

No, he didn’t. He put it in his bag but didn’t put it in the case and an ignorant photographer stepped on his bag. theres a video of it btw, you can see the photographer’s face. Btw why would he throw it in anger after winning the mixed doubles event, or if you refer to it after he had found out that his bat was broken why would that matter? If it’s broken, it’s broken, no reason to be delicate with it anymore.

It still can be sold on Prott as personal blade. Probably even more expensive then new

I don’t think he needs that money though

Who doesn't need? WCQ or PROTT owner?

I think he is referring to when WCQ threw the racket back in 2019 which got him banned for 5 months

The real reason is WCQ replacement blade did not ho through the 49 days blood ritual at the altar of the GOD of WAR. It was not imbued with the mystical power of the WAR DEITY Yuan-chang.

P/s: If you are white / black folks, is Ok if you do not understand what my post is all about.
@Tony's Table Tennis and his likes will know.

Wouldn’t he bless all his equipment in this sacred ritual? Wouldn’t make much sense to have a back up if you’re not as comfortable playing with it lol.

I think it takes time for boosters to take effects. And sometimes you have wait 8-24 hours in between the boosters during the process.

Pro's like WCQ are very sensitive to the slightly change in equipment. Just look at Timo Boll's video where he glued like 20 blades all at once and pick one depending on how big the competition hall is.

I don't think it is all mental after his blade got broken. And his round of 16 game was 10am the next day so he could not practice with the back-up blade as much and could not break that blade in as well.

OR just the H3 , I'm not saying it is necessarily the booster, am I the only who the H3 takes fedw sessions before it is fully loaded ? was the shop selling me replicas all this time ...

The old H3 where it was very very tacky takes about a week or two to break in, where the top sheet's extreme tackiness wears off during that period and then the level of tackiness (which is still very tacky) stays for like a year or two, literally.

The new H3 where the top sheet is not so tacky does not need as much time to break into.

I have no idea what special H3 WCQ gets and how long it would take to break in.

Also, he has to make sure his new blade, with newly boosted rubber, has to not exceed 4mm. So I had a feeling he was taking out his ruler overnight to measure his back up blades. That did not bode well for his sleep overnight.
