Yes, but you're not in Europe. Xiom are specifically staggering the supply by zone. None of the major, official suppliers in Europe have it yet.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Xiom are releasing to all markets simultaneously. Omega VII isn't available in Europe yet, for example.

$45 over at ttnpp now.

I can moan about things that are practically subatomic. It's a talent. The only price I've found for Pro so far is 350HKD, where K1+ was 250 and K1 220. That's a 40% mark up! It's still fine of course. More of an indicator that the originals were such great value.

The original K1 was $25. I think we'll be paying for all the extra acronyms Tibhar have injected into the Pro version.

Also, from the images of Golden Tango shared at the OOAK forum, GT's sponge isn't very porous at all - it's quite solid. Whereas the K1 range have used large-pore sponges. One downside is that K1 and K1+ were both really cheap. I have a feeling K1 Pro will be more expensive.

Not that I heard. I saw it on his bat during a replay of his serve. After T2, he was back to his usual rubber for the next ittf open. So the theory is that he did it purposely for marketing reasons, but that's just speculation.

Samsonov did use K1 at T2APAC though. So there is that. And Google isn't great at translating a query into Asian character sets, so you won't be seeing the full set of results for Korea, China etc. For western audiences, it's chicken/egg. If the main webstores carried it, you'd be hearing...

Sure, sure. It would be a bit odd to change direction at this stage of the product line, but stranger things have happened. What gives it away imo (about the tackiness) is the off colour area around the logos on the top sheet. You get that with tacky esn rubbers, and you can see it in the...

No, because this will be tacky, and with a 52 degree sponge. Looking forward to this. Many thanks to the OP for the images!

Many thanks, I've passed this on to him!

Yup. It's a bit (double) fishy.

My last ttnpp order took 4 days to arrive. Best I've ever had from them.

Ahhhhhhh yeah! That's great news.

Amazing! Unless it's an elaborate fake, we have lift off. I'm sure we will have some very happy local players now.

Many thanks - a 3* approved orange ball would make quite a few teams over here in the UK very happy indeed.

These aren't on the ITTF's approval list yet. Any chance of a pic of the logo on the ball itself?

Amazing stuff! He seems like a right laugh. If I hit a behind-the-back shot against a pro and it came back as an edge ball, I'd have gone home in a mard.

A teammate of mine is in Nanjing for the month of November, and Jiangsu have a match v Bazhou on the 21st. Could anyone advise on how he might get tickets for that? And where the fixture is held? He doesn't speak Chinese unfortunately so that might be a hindrance... Many thanks in advance!

Boll looks to have picked up a knee injury in the T2 APAC this morning. Fingers crossed he recovers in time for this!
