The blade off Wang Manyu ??

She has signed a contract with Stiga and that is the blade that stiga has customised for her playstyle. sadly i know no news about when her blade model will be commercialised

Ok !
Thank you,
The blade is visible when she´s serving in her resent match against Mima Ito.

I saw a post on instagram where someone mentioned that this should be a new stiga blade coming on the market around september this year.
We will see^^

Chinese players are switching a lot these past 2 years, she came from a Stiga Hybrid to Viscaria or ZJK sometimes and since the WTTC in Houston this new Stiga prototype.

Sun Yingsha has also switched to a W968

Lot of Chinese women changed from Carbonado 45 to Viscaria or Lin Gaoyuan ALC and a few changed to W968. Wang Manyu was using a Lin Gaoyuan ALC before, I wonder if Stiga has made a Viscaria clone for her or it's something different.

I would not count it out either. FZD was the prime example of that deception.

Past year he didn't even care anymore and was sometime using golden customized Viscaria without any stiga handle on it. Stiga has very closed relationship with the CTTA, but the CTTA dictates vhatever they want on the contracts.

Past year his contract with Stiga already had ended, so your guess here doesnt match at least with him.

And even more to add to your confusion,

Proof that no matter the contract they sign, CNT players do whatever they want, FZD has been seen using either Stiga handle or regular viscaria handle blades sometimes in the same tournament...

Nobody is saying he wasnt using viscaria in the past, but he's literally team bt now and has been for the past 9 months so using it openly is kind of a given, guess what Attitude was trying to convey didnt reach the main processing unit. https://www.butterfly-global.com/en/.../20211101.html

Partially yes.
Besides this he parted away with Stiga the moment he started training with the golden viscaria.
The only reason i can imagine why he switched back (for a single tournament if i remember correctly) was that he was used to the Stiga handle and couldnt play like he was used to. Maybe he didnt have enough training hours with the golden vis (handle) so he switched back. The guess of 247 proved immediatly wrong the moment he had the golden vis in his hand in the following tournaments.

​​​​​​The chances that the following contract prolonged for 1/2 months is close to zero.
