Wow I would love to try those bats. They look awesome!

Some taobao seller is already selling the Hurricane Long 3 for 800 Yuan, as well as the special CNT version for 2800 Yuan. Links through buychina if anyone wants to have a look. Should be a hot item if ML win the WTTC next week.

Wow, great post! I have noticed for sometime that WLQ does not use HK anymore. Too bad, I have getting used to the HK so badly and could not think any better blade, even TBS, except for replacement. I hope they still produce the old HK, since it becomes the only blade suitable to my hand.

 

[TurboZ]

WLQ use Stiga CL CR non-WRB for some time now and Stiga RW5 before that. In fact many believe he did not actually use HK in the past but only a Stiga CR with HK handle. I have HK, HK3 and H-WL. They are all good but I think H-WL's handle has the best feel in hand.

are you sure it is ZJK's personal bat ? where do you find this photos ? i will be surprised if he really us T05-fx on BH.

 

[chuklebolt]

so he really changed to 05FX? I heard some Thai people spreading this rumor in the Thai forum, and I found it recently on the Wikipedia page. So I came here looking for a more reliable source and proves hehehe can anyone confirm?

On Eurosport they also said that he was using 05 fx during the worlds.

2 members on another forum worked for the DHS stand in Paris at the WTTC2013.
They made alot of photo's of themselves with people like Wang Liqin, Persson etc. Blades of China team were brought to the back of the DHS stand to be checked by the DHS officials (Not the workers at the stand) to see if they would pass ITTF racket control. One of the members asked the DHS staff if they could see the blade and make a picture. The staff guy said ok and held the blade for them to make pictures.

Can only get more clear if Zhang Jike shows it during a match

Thanks for the information! Sounds very legit! any more pictures of players bats from the team?

Thanks Sun Tzu

Haven't seen them, I do have a picture that Chen Qi is playing with the new Zhang Jike Super ZLC.
He won't win the best look award with this photo though..

By the way, im can't guarantee the Viscaria is really Zhang Jike, the DHS staff might have misunderstood and just showed them á blade from the Chinese team, Yan An also plays with the Viscaria, so its either Zhang Jike or Yan An. Lets say its 80% chance of Zhang Jike and 20% of Yan An being the wielder of this weapon. I tried 05-FX on my Viscaria and really didn't like it for my forehand (had a slower bh rubber that time).

Like all others, I found and still find it hard to believe he left Tenergy64, especially for an FX version of any other Tenergy.

Yeah I understand I would say it's pretty much Zhang Jike's I doubt that would make such a mistake. Which forum did you find this info on?

 

[Sun Tzu]

on mytt.net in the thread adventure of jcdi and ttping85 or something like that

It is important to remember that the rubbers the Chinese national team is supplied is like a national version of it compared to the commercial versions we can buy. At his level it really shouldn't affect him at all but I think it was a good change for his backhand. The 64 was best for blocking back balls low and fast which he did well but I think he is trying to be more attackive with his backhand. If you watch the difference of matches before then the one of him in WTTC his flicks were more spinny and he won more faster shots. Very nice backhand
