Zhang Jike signs with Donic

[zeio]

so these fans are all table tennis players?

Like I wrote, most of them played table tennis. It was an era before the social media boom. The fansite was hosted by 全乒乓/ALLTT.COM, which was a table tennis forum. How many people who don't play table tennis visit TTD?

Speaking of Tibhar, they've angered a good chunk of customers in China after the exclusive agent raised the price of Felix's blade literally overnight.

Same happened to Andres Lind’s Donic blade after he beat WCQ at China Smash. From 400+CNY it went up to almost 700

Do people in china play Tibhar blades?

Do people in china play Tibhar blades?

Dont think so. I think most players in China use blades from either BTY or DHS.

Not for the most part. But penholders are interested in Felix's model and shakehanders in Alexis' model.

And I'm left scratching my head as to why they put "Chinese special stickiness" on the package...

Any ideas on what sponge hardness for each will be?

J1=60? J2=55? J3=50?

So combining A series topsheet and C series sponge took Zhang Jike hours to research. Man, the rubbers are gonna be so pricy, it's filled with ZJK's love, sweat, and tears from working countless hours. Prof. Jike.

Just more ESN junk that is barely different than anything else they've released over the last few years. I am sure that ZJK spent countless hours testing developing and fine tuning though, when he is so busy with coaching at his personal club in China.

[Airoc]

Just more ESN junk that is barely different than anything else they've released over the last few years.

Well, you couldn´t blame ESN for the fact that nearly everybody buys from them, resulting in some pretty similar products on the market by different brands. More diversity would be possible if the Japanese factories caught up technologically, but for example I liked Nexy Etika, it´s different to the ESN stuff, it´s durable, and it sold nearly zilch in Germany.

And then of course the cow has to be milked. With Rasanter R series or Evolution MX-D (and other high performance rubbers) it seemed that it would be difficult to come up with anything even better based on the "regular" Tensor formulas - not that mere amateur mortals would need anything more performant, but while tweaking the detaisl for the pros there will be a new product for the market in the process.

Along for the rescue came the Hybrid hype, and here we go again, "sticky for everyone" included.

But if you want something different, buy NUZN. ;-)

 

[Egon]

What is happening to the world? Everything is upside down! And even my favorite player signed a contract with the most disrespected company. It's a disaster!

 

[Airoc]

It's not Torio, but Trio.

The jury seems to be out on that.

 

[vvk1]

Jarvis sports lists J1-J3 at £49.99 - cheaper that Bluestars or Bluestorms. Curious, one would expect new premium lineup to be more expensive, not less.

 

[Schuster M.]

Stadiums? Just curious, but are you talking about the football (aka soccer) Bundesliga in Germany? If so, then yes, he will be playing at large stadiums, but people very likely wouldn't come because of him...
If, however, you mean the TTBL (Table Tennis Bundesliga), then he would be playing at venues that are smaller than my barn. In that case, there is a very good chance that the venues will indeed be sold out, in part because of him.

i would think a lot of people would come if zhang jike would suddenly unretire himself.
