well … I did shoot Star Contender in Ljubljana, and did some sniffing around the blades …

Dima, that blade isn’t inner, its normal ALC, at least it looks like that.
Hugo, still uses HAL. from a very reliable source I learned that the rubbers he is using are still Xiom C57.5/C52.5, but sponge is purple to make them look like Joola. if that’s true or not, I don’t know …
Khanak was testing some different blades but all with FZD handle, as he prefers a bit fatter handle.
Yunsuke Uda uses completely custom made blade with G-Fless handle.
Freitas was actually using Freitas ALC and Satoshi Aida was actually using his Masamune.

Very insightful, I wonder why he is using ARY-X instead of ARY-C when it seems better fitted for him

How does one know it is the ARY-X despite having the ARY-C handle from those pictures?

No, we don't, unless a player comes clean like LXX did with her "Carbonado 145", and most CNT players are really honest when asked unlike their foreign counterparts.

Unlike the Xylo 7 which has the prints on the blade shoulders like those off the shelf, the "Hugo Calderano HAL ARY-X w/ ARY-C handle w/ or w/o name tag?" do not come with those prints, which is enough to consider them as custom-made.

This is so funny? I just skipped into this video and ZJK using Hurricane and well I didn't care to check the whole match yet but clearly his backhand rubber doesn't have blue sponge, more like red... He needs to use a bit thicker Donic edge tape.

I remeber seeing a bilibili vid saying that he messed up, he didnt have his rubbers, so he had to buy dignics 09c off the shelf.

What is Niu Guankai using? I saw he’s using his own Double Fish blade which is inner ADC i believe. But what is his FH rubber and BH rubber? He had his red side on FH

At Muscat he was using Hurricane 3 Neo and Dignics on the Double Fish blade, but they haven't uploaded his photos for the China Smash yet.

Ylane Batix went from long pips to inverted?
