Bats of the German League Players - Gallery!

[TEGGMinh]

Very often Butterfly and hard sponges. But I think it is too much control. The chinese player have faster bats adn can play more dangerous TT.

For the next year you must put the bat of Gionis as well!!

 

[TTHopeful]

I want new ones of the Chinese team like this! Maybe China Super League officials take photos of the players bats....

 

[Cabbage]

beautiful!

Well there HAS been rumors that there are boosting oils sold in china that is undetectable....and from what ive heard from friends that thing evaporates faster than alcohol lol....but really i dont see the need to boost a sponge as powerful as the spring sponge really. Theyre more suited for the harder less bouncy chinese sponges

I love the Timo Boll blade!
Expensive but worth it!!!
I tried it couple of times and it was great

 

[TT-Chris]

Nice Pictures . Everyone plays Butterfly there. I would like to know which setup Dima and Baum use?

 

[Cornel]

very nice photos, Sinukal!

It's interesting how many players don't use Tenergy - I would expect fewer! It seems that the standard alternatives to Tenergy among pros are Bluefire M1, Tibhar MX-P, and perhaps Joola (Quadri Aruna). I also recall that Kristian Karlsson uses Calibra LT.

Supposed to be "Kristin Silbereisen", no idea what she played with back then, nowadays it's Tibhar White Sword

That goo on the blade...

It is very CLEAR that all these rubbers are boosted !!!!! You can see that the pimples are more pronounced and also the edges want to curl up !!
Players like Timo Boll saying they play unboosted are just liars. What a bunch of hypocrites ! And i have seen other pictures of Timo's "standard" Tenergy 05's where you can clearly see the boosting (just like all Chinese players play heavily boosted DHS rubbers).

I have to say that my 6 months old Genius Sound is unplayable without some lamp oil (parafine) boosting. I dont want to spend the money to buy at least two pairs of rubbers at 42 euros a piece if even all pro players play boosted.
ITTF regulations saying that boosting is illegal !! Hahahahaha !!! RUBBISH BULLSHIT !! Just like the shitty new balls that break every half hour of serious play ! RUBBISH !! Just to fill the pockets of the ITTF !!!

I thought 05s have pronouned pimple look anyhow and they don't look too curly on the edge either.
Not sure but would like to hear it from the guy with more experience in boosting.

What blade does Timo Boll use now because the above one looks more like ZLC then ALC ?

It looks like a TB ALC to me. The blue on the handle looks faded but it does not look like the yellow of a ZLC. But where you can really tell is that, if you enlarge the photo and look at the composite ply, there is blue in the composite ply. So it probably would not be a ZLC.

 

[Tryzerlol]

Boll played his own ALC blade for about as long as its on the market, probably longer. I don't think he ever experimented with any other setups.

 

[Baal]

Maybe it is just a shadow but it looks as if Steffan Mengel's blade has been altered to make the handle a little thicker. It looks like the handles were removed and another piece of wood glued to the blade and then the handles were reattached.

On my computer monitor, Boll's blade is the normal ALC color.

Also, the one time I boosted T05 I didn't much like the effect (probably I over-boosted it), so never tried it again, the stuff is too expensive to experiment with. I don't think my unboosted T05 looked different on my blade than Boll's. It is not obvious to me that his is boosted. Now, the rubber on Hielscher's ancient blade, that one looks definitely to be chemically enhanced. Also the MD initials, indicating it was sealed by the Belgian guy.
