Seems Kao is now actually using the VCO, and he has switched his BH to N55 as well. FH remains N55
Or he kept his blade, changed the handle to the VCO handle, and EJs are not any wiser but feel better.

His blade before was a sample blade that probably was close to a VCO. Now he just uses the real VCO probably. But who knows atp man

Yeah, they made him a custom blade but with the VCO handle to sell the VCO :D.

Kao using T05 hard during Macao. BH looks like it might be the same.

The fact that Kao is using T05H (Butterfly's most similar to NUZN as NUZN is not a hybrid so therefore not 09c-like) instead of NUZN 55 says a lot.

Despite his current form and injury, KCJ's win rate actually hasn't changed but he went from 5W3L in 2024 to 0W5L in 2025 (ignoring World University Games) against KNT players.

MS
2025
18W17L (51.4%)
2024
32W30L (51.6%)

萊茵魯爾世大運》止步單打8強 高承睿低落自評20分、馮翊新惋惜
https://today.line.me/tw/v3/article/DRPKynw
「感覺自己越打越差,確實感覺這次比賽自己只發揮60%而已。」高承睿說,「我想還是須要休息一下,想清楚自己還要不要接下去打。包括身體、器材都遇到困難,加上來這裡大家都是拚著我打,現在終於結束了,可以好好休息。當然一直被研究,但自己在場上企圖心也沒那麼強了,還要再想清楚怎麼打下去。」

他相當不滿意本屆世大運表現:「完全不及格,根本沒資格來打這個比賽,只能給自己20分,團體金牌是隊友幫我完成的,單打連前4都進不了,我覺得表現得很差。扛主將確實有壓力,感覺每天起床心情都很沉重。很謝謝大家的支持,但我表現好像不值得大家期待。」

馮翊新晉級8強後,面對團體金牌戰曾贏過的中國新秀孫正,以8比11、11比9、11比7、11比13、12比10、8比11,7局鎩羽。他說:「還滿可惜的,都有領先,可是對方變化後我有點虛掉,打到關鍵時他處理得也比我細膩,沒有他做得好。」

回顧自己首屆世大運,馮翊新說:「應該可以更好,因為單項1面獎牌都沒拿到,而且3項都是5局或7局輸,也都有過領先和機會,都很可惜,打到關鍵分都太急躁了。」他也安慰和支持高承睿:「我覺得大家表現得都很好,也盡力了,沒有小高,我們連冠亞軍戰都進不了,是大家努力才有這樣的結果。」

Forgot to mention in the last post that KCJ's latest WR is 40th (10 places lower than the previous week), and the minimum required is 35th (proposed and passed to be reduced from 40th to 35th in July) to be exempt from the 2026 national team tryout at the end of this year.

That could be a major factor behind the switch to get back his form. 175 points from China Smash 2024 will expire in early Oct and his result this year will be crucial. Not much room for error.

Maybe this explains why Kao is using BTY rubbers right now. He no longer appears on the sponsored players list on the Andro website
His contract would have lasted less than a year.

Good find.
His contract would have lasted less than a year.
He almost certainly got terminated for using Butterfly or they mutually agreed to end the contract early - sponsorship contracts aren't made for less than a year.

This is similar to what happened with An Jaehyun and Xiom, although his Xiom sponsorship did last a while longer than Kao’s.

All I can say, both parties are very sincere about it.
Based on other brands, I doubt we will have a press release about it, but I sincerely wish both parties the best.

Kao is a good kid.
raised by very good parents (in terms of manners, ethics, morality) - who takes Kao's clothing and donates them to Africa via charity organizations since he was a kid. This includes Kao's olympic shoes (where compared to someone from Australia who will hold onto it forever).

Taiwan had some natural disaster last week from a big typhoon, and the mom made some donation. Kao asked the mom for the bank details and also made donations.
This kid does so much charity (on his own) way more than any other kid I have come across.

He went through some lows when he left Chuang's academy and has been a very bumping ride this year.
He got injured but had to continue playing quite a few events until he broke down few days ago.

I wish I could of been there for him earlier and to help him.
I did make my offer to the family few days ago - I really am sincere to assist Kao, as this road is extremely lonely.
and to sum it up, he is still only a 20 year old kid.

KCJ (right leg injured already, and now left leg strained) withdrew from the 2026 team tryout and Feng Yi-Hsin 2-3 Hsu Hsien-Chia on Day 1. The beef between Feng Yi-Hsin and Chien Tung-Chuan cracks me up.
