  1. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

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

    Thank you for catching that. Not sure how that was the first name to come to mind... Joao Geraldo Dignics 09C/Dignics 05 (situation dependent) Zyre 03 Adrien Rassenfosse Dignics 09C Dignics 09C Miłosz Redzimski Hybrid K3 Pro Hybrid K3 Pro Park Ganghyeon Dignics 09C Zyre 03 Feng Yi-Hsin...
  3. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    Alright so I decided to purchase a subscription to World TT Plus, so now I have access to every paywalled article. They asked what rubbers all the men in the top 100 were using, and these were their answers (note, some of these have changed, which is unfortunately the nature of these things.)...
  4. New Butterfly Rubber: Proudo44 P.I. (프라우드44 P.I.)

    Again this game is intended for the elderly so that they can play at a pace that suits them. This was never meant for true competitive players.
  5. BEST MEDIUM PIPS for both chopping and attacking?

    Alright finally tried Attack 8 L (48 deg) in ~1.0mm last night (I think it's slightly bigger like 1.1-1.2) and this was so much better than the 53 deg. version. The sponge is naturally much easier to compress making performing any shot much simpler. The 53 version I had, the ball just felt like...
  6. New Butterfly Rubber: Proudo44 P.I. (프라우드44 P.I.)

    Interesting! I was wondering why this wasn't on BTY Japan's website, despite having seen this rubber on the LARC.
  7. New Butterfly Rubber: Proudo44 P.I. (프라우드44 P.I.)

    No evidence this is happening and the players would probably riot if it did. The game is marketed directly to senior citizens. Not only is the ball bigger, it's also lighter to reduce speed, and different surface to reduce spin. Until I actually see the ITTF take a vote on this, it's absolutely...
  8. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    https://x.com/tibhar_japan/status/2072959682432680138 According to Tibhar Japan, Miyuu Kihara and Hibiki Tazoe have already switched to Hybrid K3 VIP (Hybrid K3 with a 59 degree sponge)
  9. BEST MEDIUM PIPS for both chopping and attacking?

    Tried P2V again last night in 1.0mm and it's such a fantastic rubber. Very hard to miss with because that sponge really kills any speed. Both attacking and chopping are super easy, although not very confusing for the opponent, though consistency is personally much more important for me. Only...
  10. Russian Players should not be on tour during the War.

    Colin Powell literally lied to the UN in a speech that was prepared for him by the White House, which even the CIA said differed from the conclusions they had made. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1618872/ "More than half a million Iraqis have been killed since invasion"
  11. Russian Players should not be on tour during the War.

    The reason ISIS exists in the first place is because the US invaded Iraq for completely bogus reasons, which then led to furthering divides between Sunni/Shi'a as well as general regional instability which allowed ISIS to seize on the power vacuum created by Saddam's removal. It's also darkly...
  12. Russian Players should not be on tour during the War.

    I simply cannot take people who want to punish Russia seriously when no one from either Israel or the US has faced any repercussions for what has transpired in the Middle East.
  13. United States Smash 2026, Los Angeles, 6/26-7/5

    I mean they're making this, it's the least butterfly could do considering some of the blades they've made in the past.
  14. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    He's still using his Viscaria though, which he also used throughout his time with Gewo Sidorenko: Jang Woojin: K3 Pro -> Genextion V2C
  15. United States Smash 2026, Los Angeles, 6/26-7/5

    Custom Diode/Joo Se Hyuk, Zyre 03, Curl P1V (1.0mm). The only reason I know the thickness of her long pips is because World TT said her backhand rubber at the All Japan was 極薄 (very thin) this year, where as last year it was 中 (medium), and 0.5 is usually referred to as 超極薄 (ultra thin). She...
