The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

[Scarfed Garchomp]

Eugene Wang as well.

Could've sworn I saw him using FZDSALC at some of the previous MLTT livestreams. Hypercarbon is inner so maybe he wanted something like SALC/Krypto Carbon but stiffer than W986

Eugene changes a lot, I'm sure he tried FZD SALC at some point. Probably won't stick to this Tibhar for long either unless its a new sponsorship.

Is Hana Goda using a fl or st Cybershape? It looks like a fl one to me, but not quite sure.

Batra changes her FH rubber, V22 double extra?

09c for Wang Yidi

Super Viscaria -> Viscaria for Sreeja Akula. I forgot Akula had also switched to DNA on her FH (I think I figured out it was Dragon Grip?)

Kenji Matsudaira has signed with Joola. He will use the Vyzaryz Trinity with Dynaryz ZGR on both sides.

Good to know you own to live endlessly. Still, the death looks unfriendly from this side of fence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_After_Life_(Moody_book)

 

[JackJohnson]

What blade and rubbers is Dean Shu using?

 

[Peter93]

Kenji Matsudaira, immediately after signing with Joola, switches to Dignics.

Togami, the newest Zyre user?

Is Kenji using Dignics on the one side only or both sides?

 

[Peter93]

Is Kenji using Dignics on the one side only or both sides?

His profile on Joola's website says he was using Dynaryz ZGR on both sides, so I think it would make sense to assume hes using Dignics on both sides here (sponge color is also the same, and clearly not ZGR).

Which tournament was the recent picture of Kenji from? I know some Joola players can have a different rubber on one side (Zhou Qihao uses DHS H3 Blue sponge on the forehand and for backhand he was using Joola Dynaryz Inferneo not sure if BH has change. He is the only player I know who uses a different brand of rubber but only one side only).

There are other players that I know that use their sponsored blade but their two rubbers are from different companies. Hina Hayata using her Nittaku H2 Blade with DHS H3 Blue Sponge on the forehand and Butterfly Dignics 09c for the backhand. So not impossible that both rubbers can be from different companies.

Maybe @Matt Hetherington from the Joola Team can say. I’m not sure how strict Joola contracts are in terms of what rubbers the players can use. Whether they allow players to have only one different rubber outside of Joola or allow both rubbers to be different from Joola.

Complicated and temporary. We had a small turnaround window after he signed and sent him some rubbers, but the time it takes to produce a larger order is a little bit longer and unfortunately the rubber arrived too late before the tournament. Wasn’t within our control, rest assured he will be using Joola.

Zhou Qihao is still using Inferno even after signing w Double Fish ☺️

Is Zhou Qihao still signed with Joola? If he still signed with Joola I wonder what arrangement he has which allows him to be signed with both Joola and Double Fish at the same time.

No he isn't

Miwa with Zyre on FH

Togami; Zyre on both sides?

Yoshimura with Zyre 03 on his FH as well.

Did not expect Zyre to supplant Dignics this quickly.

 

[ThePongCommenter]

Togami; Zyre on both sides?

Yes...

Did not expect Zyre to supplant Dignics this quickly.

Why not? Happened with Dignics to Tenergy too...

 

[Migzkulit]

Kanak Jha's playing with Zyre as well on his forehand?

Wow, you are right!

Kenji still using Dignics.
