It is clearly a Paul Drinkhall Powerspin Carbon blade with Custom Viscaria handle. Shibaev is a big fan of Paul.

Does anyone has any idea what Truls's Moregard equipment is? Just "discovered" him during the recent WJTTC and I really love the variety of his game - blocks and combinations. Still he has tens of miles to walk, but for sure a young player to watch.

Carbonado 290 blade and Mantra H rubbers.
On several occasions I have noticed that Stiga players are supplied with standard rubbers, straight out of the bag.
While I count first league players with Stiga contracts among my friends, I can´t guarantee this goes for the top of the range as well.
But while even lower league players get access to Select ESN rubbers from their suppliers, with Stiga this seems to be a different story.

Thanks! I wonder what is your experience? Does the selected ones and "straight out of the bag" rubbers differ significantly?

Oh yes. But the way I see it, their greatest advantage lies in their reliability.
As you would imagine, since pros change their rubbers quite often it is important that they get consistent quality and performance.
It is crucial that the variations of a normal production process are ruled out.
For you and me, if we buy a 2.0 mm rubber and after some months buy the "same", you might find one is 1.96 and one is 2.02. It´s no drama for us. But some professionals need "the same" rubber every few days at the most, and it´d better be the same.
So for me it´s not the pre-tuning of these rubbers, it´s their quality. In fact, I´ve played with pro rackets that were significantly slower than some of my own, and there are rubbers on the market that are faster and bouncier than the selected ones.
As a sidenote, you could play high class table tennis with many of the modern tensor rubbers as they come, and many people do exactly that, so there is no real need to strive for pro material on a basic level.

Interesting. I was betting it's more about the quality of the rubbers or sponges or ... yeah the tuning itself. Never had any experience how it is to play fresh rubber every few days ... ; )

They are factory boosted, boost holds for about 3 weeks according to users and you can never get that feeling back, not even when you boost them yourself.
