Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

[zeio]

Yuu speculates that the interest for those 3 models is low among retailers as Calderano is not a table tennis household name in Japan.

B made more sense, let's see when he meets stronger opponent in the next rounds

It"s a joke.... Matt, please dispel this ASAP!

Fan Zhendong used to do that, he used Infinity VPS handle with Viscaria. That is why I took the bait.

Many sponsored pros do when their sponsor blades are unsatisfactory for them, Fan is just the obvious one given the blade he was marketed as using bore zero resemblance to the blade he actually used and of course he was extremely famous. Dima (Donic) and Freitas (Tibhar) had the same issues for a long time before finally getting Butterfly sponsorship. A couple of weeks ago, I heard from a close friend about a pro using a Butterfy blade while sponsored by an ESN brand and using his sponsor rubbers but hiding his use of a Butterfly blade from his sponsor.

so this tournament uses seamless balls ? Probably the reason Hugo got a boost and LJK's lost. As a H3 user I don't like playing with seamless ball either.

 

[ShakehandJpenCpenEnjoyer]

Why they always blame superfluous things for losing omg.
For sure the seamless ball is the reason why hugo win. If i play with seamless ball i can beat all the chinese too fr fr no need for training naaaah bro seamless balls are all you need
