I'm totally agree with you. Most of the players i saw that was using carbon blades and switched to all wood, was very happy with their new all wood blades and was playing very more consistence.

Ovtcharov is going to win it.

They are actually very similar. Viscaria is a bit softer and has a bigger handle. Timo Boll Spirit is faster and harder. They are so similar than be different.

If you go back to composite you should try the greatest composite blade ever: Viscaria! It will be great if you can find a good one.

Here is good thread for you: http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?5601-wood-or-carbon&highlight=wood+carbon Wood has more touch and feel than carbon but it is slower. If you want to change your blade to an all wood blade you should go for a fast one to recover the lost speed of...

Thank you zjkfanforever :) Ma Long, Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Yan An, Liang Jingkun, Hao Shuai, Wang Hao and Cheng Jingqi will be in the second stage. I hope Ma Long to win it. Is there any information about live streaming?

Good point for that 40.5 degree hardness but 0.5 degree for hardness different is noting. Surely DHS has customized that hardness for Zhang Jike because there is no Hurricane 3 with 40.5 degree hardness at the market.

The full name of Zhang Jike's forehand rubber is not "Hurricane 3". It is "Hurricane 3 Neo National Blue Sponge" Neo Hurricane are faster than normal version. Also blue sponge Hurricanes are factory tuned and they are faster, spinier and softer than normal version. Hurricane series are made...

Hurricane series needs boosting form the start and until now. It is very unlikely that the new Hurricanes doesn't need boosting.

Very interesting news! As i understand Hurricane 3 is for the best control, Hurricane 2 for best spin and Hurricane 8 for the best speed. Most of CNT player are using Hurricane 3 right now. I'm wondering that they will switch to Hurricane 8 or just use the new Hurricane 3. Because the reduce of...

After seeing the pictures that MaLongPower and wan posted i have to change my opinion. Zhang Jike's blade is a Viscaria.

How they are going to play with knock-out system with 7 players? Some player will have rest in the first round and start playing from the second round?

First picture is Viscaria layers and the second is Zhang Jike's blade layers that Martin Dorrengo posted form World Tour Grand Finals. Zhang Jike's blade layers are more looks like wood instead of ALC. They are thicker and brown not blue and thin like Viscaria layers.

Zhang Jike's racket at 2013 WTTC:

Next round will be played with knock-out system with 8 players. There is no info about how these 8 players will be selected. Probably the top 8 players of first stage.

I will surely do that.

I have good news and bad news. Bad news: I played with him just one set today. Good news: I won the set 11:7. When i served long into his forehand he was able to attack them and win points by that. But when i served long into his backhand he returned them long a i was able to loop them. Then...

Zhang Jike is not a backhand-oriented player. He is a forehand-oriented player with a good backhand. If Ma Long didn't play his backhand shots into zhang Jike's backhand, Zhang Jike had played more with his forehand (his stronger side) and had won with better results.

Thanks in advanced ttmonster :) I have a training season tomorrow and i will test those tactics against him.

It is the tactics that i normally use and it works good. He return them with a ton of spin but because the ball is long in my forehand i can loop them and win the point. When he serves i can't loop or flick his serve and he is ready to smash my high returns with his forehand or he just push my...
