Regular HAL is Kiri core. SAL has ayous core

So his current blade only looks like the HAL but is actually a new prototype?

Wang Liqin became the president of the CTTA. Sadly, now it’s a 100% that Ma Long is not coming back but this is a new start for him. Thanks to that we may see some improvements in the CTTA because of that.

Yes. Wasn’t she a regular H3 on forehand player? Also, what blade was she using before switching?

I know and as the original commenter said who I replied to “Saive’s backhand was mediocre which got better overtime” so it wasn’t always weak. Grand Slam champions backhands are not weak in the modern era but we all know that they still preferred the forehand and they relied on it more. Ma...

No, I started my first reply with “he was a fantastic player”. I’m just comparing his titles to Dimas to prove my point that Saive was not a more accomplished player than him. Also, for a counter point, the Chinese weren’t as dominating at the time before (prime Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang) as...

Yeah, other people have corrected me on this. I just wanted to emphasise that he was not close to winning the grand slam so he was not a good counter example against Zhang Jike’s thought. (Because originally somebody brought that up about the strong forehand and mediocre backhand narrative)

I mean for sure. He had more European titles so the numbers tell us that he was better among the European players at the time but saying Dina’s achievements were based on lucky draws is outrageous. We don’t know whether Saive would’ve achieved the same titles as Dima had he not met any Chinese...

I never said any of them consistently beat the Chinese 🤷‍♂️. All i said were that Saive never came close to becoming a grand slam champion and that Dima is a more accomplished worldwide player which are facts. The number of titles doesn‘t lie. Don’t know why you brought up consistency.

Doesn’t change the fact that he was nowhere near close to becoming a grand slam champion as I stated in the original comment. Also, newer European generations like Dima as you wrote was much closer to become one by actually winning the World Cup in 2017 and being a double Olympics bronze...

Huh? “Why? What blade and backhand rubber was she using before retiring?” you don’t see the entire message?

I know he was a fantastic player but he never came close to win the olympics, world champs or world cup

Why? What blade and backhand rubber was she using before retiring?

but he was never even close to become a grand slam champion. There are plenty of top players with strong bh and weak forehand but grand slam champions as ZJK stated? Not really

Though according to his comment Xu Xin had a relatively high chance to become a grand slam champion but he never dominated as much as Zhang Jike, Ma Long and Fan Zhendong.

Yeah, he’s slowly turning into Mizutani, though Mizutani actually has the right to yap cause ever since his retirement the JNT Men haven’t really performed as well. regardless, WCQ still needs to work on his rallying skills because his wide forehand is still his weakness and that hasn’t changed...

Yeah, by improving his rallying I meant the placement of the balls and the expectations of where it’d come back to

Of course, even though WCQ lost to HUGO in a close match his footwork and forehand are excellent. It’s his rallying skills he needs to work on

Yes, every modern grand slam player relied on their forehand more in crucial situations. Even Zhang Jike and Fan Zhendong who had the best backhand in the world in their era.

Holy. Was this blade always this expensive? Or is it because it’s out of production?
