Did Lin Gaoyuan get sponsored by a new brand? His backhand rubber has purple sponge

[ttarc]

Found this one from ATTU Asia Cup 2025 https://english.news.cn/20250220/9bc0f493c92e4cd9942fca8d33778b64/c.html https://www.gettyimages.de/detail/n...gles-nachrichtenfoto/2200824742?adppopup=true
Still not really readable but it does not look like the Butterfly logo

I believe this is the new yasaka rubber Bold/Bolo dragon. They are making a push right now in the Chinese market with these rubbers and have seen some sponsored yasaka pros have them recently in my club

I can't imagine that he would be using a $15 rubber.

Well, he did lose to Harimoto (but that’s not surprising anymore)

Volant Phoenix in red has purple sponge and he is *technically* sponsored by Double Fish as previously stated.

wow, they actually started making rubbers. Case closed then

Maybe he started playing short pips and is trying out the new Bugller from Butterfly. Bugller is purple sponged.

LGY is not sponsored, he owns his own brand, to be correct; his family own a TT product manufacturing firm.

Seems you were correct after all 😁

Nice work!

Well, as far as I know there isnt any other topline rubber with purple sponges apart from some Joola offerings.

Gewo Codexx 52° has purple sponge.

ESN is the only German manufacturer as far as I'm aware

Gozo, you should know, this post has been reported as racist. You might consider removing it yourself before I decide to. It is worth knowing that, even though, I don't think that is your intention and you were simply trying to be funny, sometimes people get offended by stuff like this and I am not so sure there is much purpose to the post in the first place.

No prob Mr. Mod. Done as per your request although I believe the term racist is used too loosely.

Thanks. I argued that side of things behind the scenes. But there was no purpose to the joke and if people are offended, it was not hard to have you decide for yourself.

Thank you.
