I can agree to the fact that he should probably already be used to it as K3 is considered one of the most similar 09C alternatives, but yes I think the reasons for his slump is his confidence and his equipment might not just be for him. An Jaehyun is a perfect example of this; he switched back...
But we also have to remember that he’s been a Butterfly player almost all his career so far and thus has muscle memory to the 09C. K3 needs a whole new muscle memory to develop, especially with the throw angle and speed.
Oh prolly just is not used to K3 yet. It is similar but still some difference compared to 09C. We don’t even know what blade he is using right now and whether he is used to that yet
The thing is tho that even for feeders and contenders he doesn’t get picked. And if he didn’t play super league, it must be because he’s injured or smth.
Even though he is retired now, it’s interesting to note since he is playing Bundesliga still, why did he switch away from the rubber that he developed with Butterfly? Butterfly lists him using D05 both sides now. I wonder why he switched.
I don’t know exactly why CTTA didn’t select him, but he can arguably be the fourth or fifth player for Team Canada in future years. Jason imo is better than Martin
