Clickbait intended, but I'm quite sure they'll do it.
Timo Boll has been seen using his old trusty Viscaria ST Black Tag during the TTBL PLay-Offs. Makes sense, and it's clever than XuXin because both are changing their style to play more closed to the table. While Xu Xin has obviously choosen the wrong blade with a too much fast one for him, Timo Boll has choosen a softer one. It has been discussed already that older black tag viscarias were less faster then the new series. So as a a human using simple logic, he has choosen a blade that would keep the same overall characteristics as his signature blade, but more controllable closed to the table.
And as it's Timo Boll, Butterfly's iconic player, be sure they'll do everything possible to market that move. It's quite common in the music industry: vintage reissues of 50's - 60's - 70's models are the most sought after instruments, Fender is the n°1 brand in that case. And it makes money ! I mean really big money !
