I know a handful of players who have tested and in some cases adopted Zyre who I would consider particular about their equipment. See below.
As some have noted, D05 to Zyre is seen as a more natural switch than D09c to Zyre.
The change between what Dang was using before to 09c is probably...
I wasn't referring to his playing strength as much as his playing style, but yes, he currently isn't as dangerous as the other Koreans and mainly, he doesn't play like them in the way that was described in what I originally replied to.
People: "I bet this new rubber is going to cost 130, no way I'll buy it!"
*sigh, opens wallet*
Plus, it may not break the bank as badly as people may expect
It takes a different level of EJ to abbreviate "STN" and "TDE" and expect most people to know what they are talking about. Might help to spell it out here...
Agree with this assessment for AJH, but Oh Jun Sung, not so much. Oh's relative lack of forehand power stands out and his current playstyle minimizes the need for footwork. Nothing compared to step around and attacking heavy Koreans such as JWJ and AJH.
Quarters: Calderano likely to end up facing the winner of Duda/Felix, Harimoto likely to play Sora/Truls winner, LYJ will have to get through any of LJK/LGY/Lind/Jha/Togami/Jorgic
