  1. Did Lin Gaoyuan get sponsored by a new brand? His backhand rubber has purple sponge

    Unfortunately the quality got a lot worse after uploading the pic but it’s clear as day in the original photo that it’s purple. But just compare the sponge’s colour to his t shirt or the colour of the rubber itself.
  2. Nittaku Hurricane 8-80

    I don’t really get this Nittaku Hurricane stuff. Are the sponges or the rubber itself the same? Is it a H8-80 with a different sponge?
  3. Did Lin Gaoyuan get sponsored by a new brand? His backhand rubber has purple sponge

    Exactly. That’s why I think it’s Joola. They also have Zhou Qihao and recently signed Liam Pitchford so it’s possible they’re on a hunt and haven’t declared anything yet cause Lin Gaoyuan is still testing some rubbers(?). (Though, that’s hard to believe it‘d be during ATTC Liam is using Dynaryz...
  4. Rubber recommendations for a counter-attacker

    How are they compared to G1?
  5. Did Lin Gaoyuan get sponsored by a new brand? His backhand rubber has purple sponge

    I noticed this at last weak’s Asian table tennis cup. i know that double fish promotes some stuff with his face but its hard to believe he uses something from them and he’s no longer sponsored by Butterfly so it’s possible he got sponsored by a new brand. Possibly Joola?
  6. Rubber recommendations for a counter-attacker

    I want to resurrect this thread. What are currently the best medium hard to medium ESN or Daiki table tennis rubbers for counter topspins?
  7. Butterfly Lin Yun-Ju ALC - Limited Edition

    Where was this blade originally on sale? Official Japanese butterfly website and were these all preorders? Actually, I don’t think it’s financially bad to buy these blades even for this much because once Lin Yun Ju achieves something big there’ll be a huge price increase and even without that...
  8. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    Other than the third game it was very one-sided. Despite the commentator mentioning injury I believe he was just too tired. His semi with LSD was a 7-game-long match and Liang’s fitness is not the greatest among the CNT members so it’s understandable
  9. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    Funny how you gave up on him a month ago
  10. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    Omg, this watch between Lin Yun Ju and HHZ was epic. HYZ needed a little more to win but LYJ sort of figured his attack patterns out at the end

    lol, sora gave up midway. He hasn’t changed one bit even though he won the all Japan championship
  12. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    An Jaehyun vs Yukiya Uda is the match of the day so far. Many amazing rallies and both of them have monstrous forehands.

    He gets it for free :)

    So Rozena is pretty much a better version of T05fx according to this chart. Who’d buy the latter after seeing this?

    Jang Woojin just lost to the young upcoming Feng from chinese Taipei. this tournament is full of upsets already
  16. How should I return short and low no spin serves that come to my backhand other than pushing them long or slowly flicking them being left handed?

    I suppose variety is key here since there’s no obvious answer for this kind of serve. Pushing short a dead serve with quality is extremely hard to do consistently but mixing it up with flicks, long pushes and side swipes make or break the match. Tho, I just want to add that even Fan Zhendong...
  17. How should I return short and low no spin serves that come to my backhand other than pushing them long or slowly flicking them being left handed?

    Well, LSS served dead balls for about 90% of his serves with different placements so it’s hard for me to believe that Fan Zhendong didn’t flick them just because he wasn’t ready even after talking to Wang Hao multiple times. Had he suggested him to flick the serves he would’ve done so. For the...
  18. How should I return short and low no spin serves that come to my backhand other than pushing them long or slowly flicking them being left handed?

    Well, I suppose pushing long works the best because out of all the receives he won the most points against LSS doing that. Even his short pushes flailed him miserably like at 20:20 or 27:59 in this match
  19. How should I return short and low no spin serves that come to my backhand other than pushing them long or slowly flicking them being left handed?

    Fan Zhendong had Wang Hao with him and throughout the entire match he flicked the serves 4 times with a success rate of 25%. That 1 won point was a side backspin serve receive and out of the 75%lost points 2 flicks Went right into the net (that was a side backspin serve) and the other one hit...
  20. How should I return short and low no spin serves that come to my backhand other than pushing them long or slowly flicking them being left handed?

    at 20:20 and at 27:59 even Fan Zhendong couldn’t keep the receive low and short for those dead serves
