There is some interview on China national team before the Rotterdam trial begins early this year. Both coach and players did talk about if they keep using the same paddle, rubber over and over again. The opponent will understand more about their strength and weakness. This will become a fatal issue for them especially in the incoming WTTC. Some of them decide to change the rubber, blade or style of playing to surprise the opponent. I remember they just talk about Xu Xin decided to change both side of rubber, which give him a totally different kind of feeling than the previous one. I'm believe that's part of the reason he able to win the pro tour for twice early this year.

IMO Wang Liqin are trying to find a fast blade without composit one, fast all wood blade with medium-hard feel (like Offensive CR and Hurricane King) he had played with composite blades withot sucess.
I dont know why he dont try to play with 7 plywood, i think is about the weight but.
Hope that he find a good blade for him before de world champ.

I don't think its so much that the Chinese players are experimenting with blades regularly, or that they do it to get an advantage on other players. Frankly they already beat players without resorting to that tactic, and that tactic can also backfire, because your own game can be negatively affected by the change in equipment.

I think WLQ has been changing his blades more so in the past 2-3 years because he is forced to do so and adjust his game as both the level of game has changed, and his own reaction rate, and skills have diminished slightly. He can no longer use the type of paddle that was great for his original power game, so he must try out new paddles and setups to see one that is good for his talents now as an older player.

i wonder will he change rubbers to something like tenergy instead of chinese rubber on his forehand.

Bollforte94 · Apr 19, 2011

I dont think that the chinese players change their forehand rubber, maybe the backhand rubber.
Scylla24 I think you're right. Besides a new blade can give you more or new motivation and the pro's has the possibilities to test all blades and rubbers. You would test everything too if you have the chance to do it

Is it another burn off rubber like karas ?
Looks like its made for speed.

I find it intriguing that wlq changes his blade all the time, pros used to keep a same blade for all their career, at least until the glue ban came...
I think either
-he has not found a blade that suits him yet (I remember him trying stiva v1 carbo, nittaku ludeack, timo boll spirit, an unknown blade, rosewood)
-he has come to a point in his career where he doesn't care that much about titles and he has a misterious contract to promote different blades
-he's just an ej and is having fun

I think the 2nd point is most likely to be the cause, but the 1st and the 3rd could be true though.
The best promotion strategy is to make a pro uses the product, i think.

off topic: pause at 19-20 seconds, look at his chest and arm muscles, isnt he getting too muscular to play tabletennis?

markog99 · Apr 20, 2011

what rubbers does he use?

StealthAsassin · Apr 20, 2011

stiga produces some very good blades !!! My blade is Stiga Hybrid Wood and I recommend it to everyone !!! This is blade has so much speed !!! If you combine it with tenergy , you will have a very spiny and speedy racket !!
