It’s just a standard commercial blade, there aren’t many of them left but I’m assuming he tried Vitor’s and felt stable with it for now so we hustled to send some more of whatever is left.

Why on earth would anyone make a custom blade with a Xylo 7 handle? 😂

Nope lol just a Xylo 7

It’s a Xylo 7 lol

It’s not a prototype

It’s something I’ve raised on numerous occasions so I don’t disagree with you at all 😇

All rubber brands have evolved over the years and plenty of rubber lines have been discontinued and redeveloped and upgraded with changes in the game. Tensor rubbers of that generation would likely underperform with abs plastic ball etc. I definitely understand multiple parts of your point and...

Also with regards to this, it was me who produced the golden tango for Japan and I can tell you right now I did not have support for it at all, and in hindsight I’m beginning to see why 🤣

I mean it’s easy to say what people liked or didn’t like but at the end of the day the sales numbers don’t lie and that’s what these decisions are based upon from Germany usually. I liked Rhyzer 50 pro a lot myself too but sales of Rhyzer in Chinese market are almost non existent historically.

I’ll be making a big effort this year to get a Joola team together, it’s been tough since WTT kicked off in 2020 as there are lot more events. In general getting pro players to come for tournaments in US has been much harder - even edgeball, LA open etc

Whatever happens moving forward will speak for itself. Hope some of you found some value in my responses and i’ll be back when there are more Hugo related things to speak about. Peace!

well it’s for the market to decide whether the damage has been done, not you 🤣 and how would you know whether they care less or not about whether it was Xiamen or our own company? Have you been on the ground and talked to them in person? They likely have no idea about it, so how can you assume...

In fairness the shoes previously sold in China were made and licensed by Xiamen and sold at extremely cheap prices usually in online livestream shopping style situations.

Because I’m done lol

Signing Hugo is not a publicity stunt to somehow magically fix anything that maybe could or should have been done better in the past, it's a recommitment to table tennis. People can perceive it however they want, but it's very early days and I don't see why previous misgivings people have with...

Can you please reference what relevance this has to Hugo signing with Joola?

I'm sorry but what exactly is your goal here?

Ok if you’re going to deviate so far from the thread then I have nothing else to add really. You continue with your agenda here, I’m going back to work.

Well we have a really good team working on shoes now with some extremely good background in the industry so i’m confident about shoes moving forward. It’s been a slow and meticulous process to try and turn a new leaf on that front.

It's not the end of the world if a table tennis company doesn't have shoes that sponsored players want to wear. Actually a large part of the reason is that we haven't released any new shoe models for quite some time, we have been working on something for 2026 - so we will see if it's something...
