Nope. He uses viscaria and change the handle to infinity. Just because he is sponsored by stiga.

Hahaha. That is funny.
No, it most definitely is not. That is a scam.
Fan Zhendong's equipment is mysterious. But it is most definitely not an Infinity even a "Special". "Fan Zhendong Pro Version".
From any high quality photos from tournaments where they show FZD's racket, you can tell that it is a 7 ply blade and has a composite layer.
Infinity is 5 ply all wood. Most likely FZD is still using a Viscaria.
That eBay racket is goon squad material.

He is not supposed to, I think this is taken by others that are somewhat close to FZD that DARED to take this pic.

umm yes and the handle is somewhat weird shaped and the sign is unique unlike other VPSes e.x. Chen Meng

TBH I forgot about the source and nice to know you're natively Chinese speaker. Yes there is a special edition infinity but it is too expensive and you could possibly get an ALC with that price, not worth it. Also, in WTTC 2015/China open, FZD borrowed blade from ZJK which is 100% Viscaria. As a professional, it is impossible to use a piece of equipment that he hasn't used before recently. So, this could be another piece of intel that FZD is actually using Viscaria.

In the following photo, it looks much more likely that it is a composite ply than a wood ply:
But there are so many zoom photos from matches, where he has put down his racket on the table and you can see seven plies and that thin layer that does not look at all like wood.

I'm not quite sure that it is Fan Zhendong and the picture was not photoshopped
Did anybody rewatched that translation to verify that?

There are so many photos like that from matches where Fan leaves his racket on the table and during the break between games where you can clearly see that there are 7 plies. Aren't there?
Here: have a look at this:
From this page:
http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34187&PN=104
I could find several dozen more photos like this.
See if you can find some photos where it looks like he is actually using a 5 ply, all wood blade.
It would have to be a very good and very thorough conspiracy for there to be so many photos of him using a 7 ply ALC blade and NO photos from match play where you can clearly see the 5 plies of an Infinity.
But you can doubt it. There is nothing wrong when a healthy skepticism. For me, knowing someone who knows him and asserts that he is definitely using a VISCARIA meant much more to me than the photos. But once I had that inside information, the photos made more sense.
Why he would do that? I still have no clue. But that he is doing it, I am comfortable that it is pretty likely the case.
But go for it. Do an in depth search and see if you can find a high res photo of his racket where you can clearly see the plies and it looks like something different from a 7 ply ALC blade. Nothing wrong with doing extra research.

Quite simple.
Cause it's fun and people jump to conclusions or believe in hearsay and try to make them look like facts. I remember one dude who even set up a webpage to make his conclusions look legit.
I guess if FZD would show his racket plies directly in front of a cam's lense, some would still distrust and say it must be some kind of trick....

hahaha... how funny coincidence. Just found a couple of pics of FZD Blade from the Worldcup2016 and to me it doesn´t really look like a vis. But everyone can decide for themselves. Pics courtesy of mytischtennis.de (c) S.Fabig

Looking at the photos on my SpyPhone, the top one looks like a Viscaria to me. The others are too blurry for me to see the ALC ply. But it looks like it is there in the first photo.
