i thought kenji was using V20 / V22 (atleast when he was on victas), strange that he isnt using a JOOLA rubber now

Mo Zhang switches to Bugller

 

[Peter93]

Franziska switches to Zyre on his FH.

Lin Yun-Ju switches to Zyre on his backhand.

 

[po-stit]

It's interesting to see various combinatiosn depending on the player. FH or BH or even both. What should we expect regarding playing characteristics?

 

[Attitude]

No he isn't

Thats curious, because he is still using Joola edgetape in the current star contender and he is still using a joola rubber on bh (at least i suppose so, because of the sponge color of his bh rubber).

 

[disaster3]

Not only rubber and edge tape, also blade, currently he is using his Joola ZQH-90.

That’s correct he is still using the blade and bh rubber 🤪

Acccording to Butterfly's website, LYJ still using zyre 03 on backhand, Franziska using Zyre 03 on both sides.
Adriana Diaz with Zyre both sides, Yukiya Uda with Zyre on backhand.
Just looking at the butterfly japan website, a lot of them switching to Zyre on backhand.

Guess he got to pay the full cost for the ZQH-90 blades and BH rubbers now that he is no longer Joola sponsored.

In ZQH case or others not sure if you can talk much about it but when players who are sponsored by Joola then later on decide to switch to a different table tennis brand e.g. Double Fish but still decides to use some of Joolas gear e.g blade & BH rubber for ZQH case do they still need to pay full cost for the equipment or since they were once Joola sponsored provide a discount to them to maintain the past cooperation?

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

so Fan Siqi uses a customized Bty ALC blade (5+2)
guess the weight

Maybe around 85grams. If I remember is her blade Golden Viscaria?

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Maybe around 85grams. If I remember is her blade Golden Viscaria?

no golden label
customized blade with Viscaria handle on both sides
85 - incorrect

 

[kindof99]

It looks like Darko Jorgic was using a blade with yellow handle, not his Tibhar Darko Jorgic blade. Maybe a new Tibhar blade?

 

[Imperfecto]

Another one? havent seen his SF agaisnt felix but the match before he was using a Shang Kung Hybrid AC

I can’t specify exactly but ask yourself what you would do if you were Joola in that situation and you’ll probably figure it out 🤪

Yeah it looks like a Shang Kung Hybrid AC against Felix aswell.

 

[Tyce]

My guess, he's still figuring out what to play from his new sponsor and in the meantime uses what he still has and is used to.
Maybe his new sponsors blades are not working out, maybe it's too much of a difference to use in matches already... Either way it's a sticky situation.

Could be that. I’ve seen players like Jang Woojin, An Jaehyun & Kim Nayeong use DHS W968 blades and H3 FH rubbers even though they are sponsored by a different brand. I’m not sure whether these players use to be sponsored by DHS or not. Whether these players get their W968 blades and H3 FH rubbers directly from DHS or source from third parties I'm uncertain of.

I would charge him full price ))
