  1. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    Honestly, I would guess not that much. It looks still ok, no pimple structures visible. Only lines from glue. Like one or two layers, it seems. Finn Luu Liang Jingkun has bottom label ripped out. Question is whether it is Loki ADC blade, or just a handle.
  2. Can somebody with both DHS 301 and PG7…

    Hello, I get all of them on the DHS-729 e-shop. The newest one is from batches with code engraving on the surface above the handle rather than on the side.
  3. Can somebody with both DHS 301 and PG7…

    Similar, but I feel that 301 is thicker in the middle. It also depends on which batch you receive PG7. I have 2 with a thin handle, though the new one came with a thicker handle.
  4. Tricks for REGLUING/ RUBBER ALIGNING

    Brilliant idea. Thank you for that. It will help a lot. When I needed to align the rubber perfectly, I cut stripes of paper, put them from the top to the bottom, so the lower one would slightly cover higher one. Then cut the excess paper so it is exactly like the blade. put rubber, align, and...
  5. (ST) Straight handle — Which pro players use ST?

    Although lots of them are correct here, please, do not use ChatGPT; it mostly hallucinates things for table tennis. I would recommend checking for yourself on the photos from the tournaments (simply type WTT Flickr, you will find the albums), or from the matches on youtoube. It is more fun...
  6. Time Machine: kid equipment of nowadays champions

    It depends on what you expect from this and where you draw the line between "not pro" and "pro." Is it age, world ranking, etc.? Someone enters the top 20 world ranking at 15, someone at 25 reach top 50 in the world. Does the blade of the 15 year old does not matter when he is already a pro, but...
  7. Minion ALC Non Red Rubber Recommendation

    Hello, if you really have to have a second bat for fun with similar hardness to your BH rubber Rakza X, you might take a look at some Andro rubbers (Hexer SFX, Rasanter R42) for green rubbers. For blue rubbers, you can look at Donic for "threes", like Bluestrom Z3. For violet rubber, there are...
  8. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Michel Dentrigne. (https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/ive-got-the-blade-of-a-champion.13497/) There is also a video () and photos of the blades. He had big boxes with players' names, I guess for some blades, mixtures, etc. Blades from him "looked" like they were covered in epoxy...
  9. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Do you think Hugo rubbers will also be on these premade bats, as this rubber?
  10. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Well, having your own rubbers immediately with your name seems strange to me. I am missing some development, I am missing some story (may come, but I doubt that since he had success playing with C55, not any Joola prototype). Seems like only marketing. There are not many players, if more than a...
  11. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    They should have. At least for players who are ranked and visible. But honestly I don´t know. I guess Hugo can create conditions best for him (as testing equipment before signing, since he is still actively playing etc.) Though on one video with Pongifinty, where they are training with Benedek...
  12. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Joao Monteiro and Daniela Dodean (married in 2013) were both under Butterfly. Edit: If you mean first under Andro, then perhaps yes. Edit 2: Maybe also Chiang Hung-Chieh and Ai Fukuhara. (Bty)
