Finally some good high resolution photos on the ITTF Flickr photo stream confirm that Fan Zhendong is using a Dignics on his back hand.

Looks like the TTBL listened and are now editing their videos themselves again.

In the latest batch of videos the "Video creator: TTLondon2012" is missing in the description and all the points are...

Thank you so much for your work! I sincerely hope they reconsider and stop that ttlondon nonsense.

I'm always recommending your channel instead of ttlondon's to my friends.

Now if ITTF and the...

Indeed he does. Just look at the result of his editing skills: https://youtu.be/ezmvcs5Lb5A

Yes finally someone else who noticed this. I've some experience in recording my own table tennis matches and it really pains me to see these top matches almost go to waste in the recording quality...

It would be pretty sad, when tt11 stopped making YouTube videos, because ehe was forced by ITTF or the TTBL. I know he was active in this forum maybe he had other reasons to suspend his account?

I...

I also believe that's it's a DHS H3 variant, just because they are so used to that on the FH.
Also the sponge color and shiny rubber would point to a Hurricane 3 rubber.

Although I did not manage...

Not really issues, but simply cost. Serving high resolution and frame rate videos is not an easy webservice to host and the bandwith usage can get expensive.

They're using the Akamai CDN for the...

Seems like they only offer 960x540 1.3 Mbps on their videos under tv.ittf.com Even the latest World Championships Finals.

But their...

They don't even cut the highlights videos themselves anymore.
The let ttlondon2012 and malongfanmadechannel edit the videos. (and then we end up with videos where they sometimes skip 40% of all...

Huh, are you joking? :)

Sorry, I can't tell if that's sarcasm.

If you take a look at the snapshot I posted from the match you can clearly see the DHS Hurricane rubber stamp.

Ah, I see. That could be the reason why he didn't play with his own Viscaria blade :)

Can anyone sumarize what was said in the interview afterwards?

I was also suprised that they did a...

Ma Long Fanmade channel also has a highlights video with better quality:

I was also suprised that he didn't use his trusty Viscaria, but given the Butterfly shirts and the table I think he or the match was sponsored by Butterfly.

At least he's still using a Hurricane...

Especially given the fact that in his latest tutorial video with Tom he was playing with a Viscaria with the lense at the back :cool:

Yeah the resolution is okay and even the bitrate is ok, but the frames are way too low.

I don't know why there's always something wrong with ITTF's stream instead of continuously improving and...

Nope, 720p with seemingly 15 fps is all you can get from https://tv.ittf.com/

sportdeutschland.tv had a better stream, but unfortunately they don't show the German Open.

At least now on table 1 which is moderated they improved the angle a little bit.

I still don't know why they just don't always use this angle, the most important thing for ITTF, the banner, is...

Adam Bobrow commented on this during a break.
The problem was that the lightning was used to light up 4 tables and improved significantly once they only needed to light up 2 tables.

And even with a slightly better resoution than the official ITTV stream (960x540) to sportdeutschald.tv (1280x720)!

Wow thank you.

Because there's no registration/authentication necessary, I...

To be honest, I'm sad that they have to play against each other next round.
Too bad it couldn't have been delayed by one round, then there could've been 3 German players in the semi finals :cool:

Well, it's over now on my stream :eek:

What a comeback... FRANZtastic.

I was wondering if I am the only one who noticed that ever since TTLondon2012 and MalongFanmadeChannel started cutting the official highlights videos that they often omit 50% or every second point...

Weird, was this a match from the tournament?

Because at a pro tournament you don't have to ask the players for their permission to record, but ask the ITTF or organizer if you can record/upload...

If this isn't going to be Dan's next avatar picture, I don't know what is.
