Hi Chen Chen! Nice thread
1. I am just wondering what FH rubbers the Women use and why (if you know).
2. Wondering if you know any players using Haifu Blue Whale 2?
3. Does anyone use Skyline TG3 NEO? Wondering why it seems as though they are not popular at all and the price seems lower on some websites compared to H3 NEO
1. You mean Chinese national women's team? If so, most of them are using hurricane orange sponge, but Liushiwen, Zhuyulin and Wangmanyue are using blue sponge I guess. It depends on your style and what blade they uses.
2. Yes, Liujikang is using this rubber, he is sponsored by them
3. Skyline series is designed for penhold players before, for example, Malin used skyline 2 and Wanghao used skyline 3, Xuxin used skyline 2 before, I think he switched to hurricane 3 now. It is more and more difficult for pen hold player against shake hand player these days since ITTF made the ball even bigger to size 40+, more and more pen hold players play like shake hand player. Also with the technique developing, in some ways, which makes the games much simpler than before. Skiline is always not popular compare to hurricane.
Hope this helps. Cheers.
oh wow interesting. Thanks for the replies guys
I have actually never tried TG2, I am curious why he chose TG2 over TG3. I thought TG2 is more for closer table play like the old Ma Lin kind of game? He also uses Orange sponge right?
I am quite sure they boost. They do it to get more spin and speed out of the rubber. How much is a personal preference.
