I see. Didn't Ma Long also use Power 7 as a temporary blade for a while? or was that a BTY blade with DHS handle?ZJK used the Stiga Carbo 7.6 in his junior days.
Mods, I was wondering if we could change this thread to include all professional players using 7-Ply and add 7+2 to the title?
I don't want to have to remake another thread.
Others I'm sure use 7-ply:
- Miu Hirano (Clipper, Inverted)
- He Zhi Wen (Short pips)
- Wang Zeng Yi (Short pips)
- Jens Lundquist (Clipper, Inverted)
The GEWO website says that Leonie Hartbrich uses the Gewo Alvaro Robles OFF, and that Bence Majoros uses the Gewo Bence Majoros OFF. Some of the Tibhar sponsored players also use 7-ply allwood blades, for example Bernadette Szocs who uses her own-named blade. From Andro there's Simon Gauzy, and I'm sure if you scan the websites for sponsored players you'll find others.

I just found out Koki Niwa used one too. Signature model from Victas.
I could be wrong about 7+2.Other than custom ones, has 7+2 blade been a thing, ever?
Septear Carbon is 7+2. I wonder why that's never caught on?
Because less is more...

So very true, my Bro. One ply is all the blade that you need😁

On paper sure but factoring in the weight and it becomes an issue.
Why 1 plies aren't being sold in 6.5-7mm is a mystery to me.

They crack.
I think the Mizuno Fortius ver D is 7+2.Other than custom ones, has 7+2 blade been a thing, ever?
Could that be the only case of a pro using 7+2, Oshima in this case?I think the Mizuno Fortius ver D is 7+2.
