Ma Long's forehand is also very powerful. Wondering why the balls break only in Zhang Jike vs Fan Zhendong match.
Anyway, They adjusted to new balls fast and easily. Good to hear this because i was a little bit afraid of those balls.
Every review in last years said new balls are totally...
Probably yes.
He will probably earn around 25 rating points and 45 bounce points. His ranking points currently is 2770. So he will be around 2840 next month.
Wang Hao will lose some points because of his lose to Mengel. His current ranking points is 2807. So he will be under 2800 next month...
New balls are not going to be used in 2014 WTTTC so the didn't changed their equipment yet.
In the reviews of new balls that was written and i read last week it was said that new balls are very similar to current balls and they are almost the same.

"In the 5 to 10 minutes I hit with it I can safely say I'm not going to worry about the change."
So there...
You can buy a Blue sponge Hurricane 3 Neo National version. It is factory boosted and doesn't need boosting at all. It costs 120$ but the quality of the rubber is so high that you will not need to change it for a long time.
I just read this posts on OOAK forum and i think it's better to share it with you:

Xu Xin vs Zhou Yu 3:1
Ma Long vs Liang Jingkun 1:3
Zhang Jike vs Liu Jikang 1:3
Those matches was special because the couching staff set some interesting rules:
Zhang Jike and Xu Xin banned form using banana stroke. And Ma...
Agree with you. We can not identify the blade in those pictures.
Anyway it can be any blade with a Hurricane Long 3 handle. CNT players ate using custom blades. But since Hurricane Long series are made specially for Ma Long, that blade it pictures can be Long 3 or 5.
