If a player is already using that I can only assume it's getting close to release and is likely out of the testing stages. Butterfly has already released their Spring products so maybe Fall of this year is likely?
Miyuu switches from W968 -> Felix Hyper Carbon
Hybrid K3 as well, sponsorship from Tibhar soon?
Tibhar has also developed a short pip for Muramatsu Yuuto called SpeedySoft MY which he now uses.
The All Japan player equipment data has been published by World TT. I don't have all the information (yet) as I don't have the issue, but will post what I've seen thus far.

Has anyone ordered from prott recently? Just curious how fast shipping was to the US with EMS. They quote a pretty long time and back a number of years ago when I ordered from them they had Hong Kong DHL which was extremely fast.
I don't know if this is "tacky enough" for the enthusiasts here, but you can try Codexx EF Pro 54. The SuperSelect (53 and 55) are newer hybrids which are only slightly tacky, where as the 54, and I presume the 52, are older hybrids where they maintained the tackiness of older Chinese rubbers.
VO > 101 is vertically aligned, extremely fast, great at generating knuckle balls that sink. If you want a spinnier pip, you want something that is horizontally aligned, like 102, SpinPips, Moristo SP AX, Impartial XS, etc.
