A translated graphic from the article. I guess Dr. Neubauer has their own factory? *Note "win" should be VICTAS.

I guess Dr. Neubauer has their own factory?

That would be new information...
You´d also think they would communicate this very strongly as a unique selling point.
And lastly, wouldn´t that be enough of a reason to stick a big "Made In Germany" on the rubbers instead of J.T.T.A.A.?

So from all I know, I think it´s a mistake. But maybe someone knows better.

 

[Peter93]

Sun Mingyang: Ebenholz VII -> Kihara Bingo. She also announced her retirement from the NT due to the persistent injuries.

 

[piligrim]

Is anybody knows Hamilton Yamane setup?

So is tibhar is really that good or they sponsor a lot of players?

One goes with the other.
If you have inferior material you will be unattractive to people who want to compete on high levels.
And for example the Lebrun brothers wouldn´t have made the change from Butterfly if Tibhar didn´t have anything worthwhile to offer.
But this also goes for any other company that has German rubbers, and in the end it´s of course also a question of how how much money you´d want to invest in top players, or who you can get, take for example Hugo´s recent move from XIOM to JOOLA.

Nittaku is releasing a Goriki Super Cut "Honoka Edition." I guess this would imply she is back to using the Super Cut?

They included this little booklet in the latest issue of World Table Tennis that included a picture of Honoka's racket.

Tibhar K3 Pro is really good, a true alternative for D09c...for about two weeks. This isn't an issue for sponsored players. And I think they make deals with many clubs, hence the many Tibhar tables. High investment and high return.

 

[Faker]

Is there any info about which or what type of blade Dima using?

dignics 09c / diode pro / curl p1v I had checked Flickr couple month ago. I like his style

This was from the US Smash. This looks like it's just the Ovtcharov Inner ALC.

Thank you very much. I was sure he use short pips

 

[Porta_07]

Check again, probably you are right. Looks like spectol s1 or s2

This make more sense. The way he attacking with his pips more looks like short pips then long

And a Nittaku PR to go with it, in which Hashimoto goes over her "setup progression", starting off with Goriki before settling on Goriki Super Cut.

I am not so sure about that. Still custom ALC on Butterfly Global. Maybe it is a handle-changed blade. Any info?

Well, what Tibhar also offers the Lebruns, as well as Joola is doing to Calderano, is for them to be the main event of the brand.
With Butterfly, you're one of many stars. If you want your own constellation, pick something else (right Liang Jingkun?)
