I thought Ovtcharov used a Clipper with a Donic handle.

Yes I have also heard he is playing with the Clipper. At least here you can see clearly that he is not using the real Donic blade. What is he using for material for the hiding? Is it some kind of wooden tape?

I thought I'd share a picture of Fan Zhedong's blade, that might help clear the mystery about his equipment a bit. This is from the Asian Championships, in the semi-final against Chuang Chih Yuan.

It is clear that this is not an Infinity, as one can count 7 layers, 5 wood and two black ones (presumably arylate-carbon), though I can't say with any certainty that it is a Viscaria either.

This is a screenshot from Youtube, source is here:

I think the conclusion that it's at least not a regular market version of Stiga VPS Infinity as there are ALC layers and that therefore it's likely a Viscaria (but could be some other ALC blade) is fairly solid one based on the pics from this thread, wonderful find!

By the one I have also seen Chen Meng's blade pics and she does look like she is using Stiga Infinity to me, at least it's safe to say she is not using the same blade as FZD.

Yeap, definitely a carbon blade. The black layers are too thin to be an infinity and there are 7 layers, maybe its not a viscaria after all, because the core looks similar to ayous, white and porous

go to http://pingpongclassics.blogspot.com/
click on the pic.
if you still think that is a viscaria then set a date with ophthalmologist right now.

Baal said:
I will be interested to see how this thread goes.

Meanwhile, I am checking for local ophthalmologists.

who said I was looking at the handle?
I never looked at the handle, only the core and from the pics at

http://pingpongclassics.blogspot.com/

it is 110% confirmed for all human race that is an infinity or at least a 5 ply blade.
it's impossible based on the pics to confuse it with a viscaria.

sebas-aguirre said:
there's no way that is an alc blade.
that's the whole point of the pics, this thread, tabletennisdaily forum, fan zhendong, table tennis, planet earth.....

sebas-aguirre said:
the layers are too thick to be carbon.
you need to go to
http://pingpongclassics.blogspot.com/
and click on the images.

sebas-aguirre said:
anyway got tired of this subject.
personally i call it 100% case closed, it is a 5 ply wood, most possibly infinity.
others may trust my judgement or not but i won't talk about this anymore.
see you in the next exciting thread!

I think TTFrenzy has a point. And while Baal's eyes seem to have been able to see better than expected, I am wondering if anyone else has gone to a local ophthalmologist lately.

I like the quote from the website: "I don't really remember what I posted in the past but I wanted to share a picture that clearly shows fan zhendong is using a viscaria with a stiga handle."

So, wait, has the name of the thread been changed to: "End Speculation Now, I Went to and Ophthalmologist and Now I Can See that FZD is Using a Viscaria Like Everyone Told Me!"

I cover my handle with very thick grip tape. I take off handles just to toss in sticks of wood and glue in assorted LULZ. I use competitors' blades as well. Life can be a complicated mess.

From the most recent picture I vote for option 3. A non-Viscaria carbon composite with an Infinity handle.

The one and ONLY thing we know for sure is that : its a 5+2 "viscaria-like" construction (opposed to "innerforce-like" construction).
As I said earlier, may be it is not a viscaria, but it is 500% sure that it is NOT an Infinity VPS V. I would also state that the core is Kiri wood, I'm pretty sure about that.

Everybody here will be able to see the 5+2 construction. Many here will recognize a Kiri center ply.

Could be a Carbonado 190 with an Infinity handle... Then people will ask why!? Because it is a National version of the Carbonado 190 and it is custom made for FZD.

It could be but it doesnt make sense, because then there's no need to use infinity handle

it's viscaria end of story xD

carbonado has ayous core, that blade from pic has kiri core.

rmpelc · Oct 23, 2015

It is viscaria with stiga handle

Rajah* · Oct 24, 2015

No no no! I was walking around the block and saw Fan walking his pet dog shasha, i grab the time to ask him about his blade and he confess he is using yasaka custom made for pro with infinity handle.. then came Tony with his laundry with his bucket of popcorn and so i left.
