[Junting]

It is interesting that FZD always beats ML in bo5 games and reversely ML always beats FZD in bo7 games. I could barely remember last time when ML beat FZD in team event.

In this game ML made so many unforced errors with his FH, and he was very uncomfortable with FZD's reverse pendulum serve.

Are those even the original Viscaria handles? Those from Stiga should be dark.

Now I really hope that these games will be uploaded to Youtube.

FZD's interview
https://www.toutiao.com/a6495973161949987342/
He was experimenting sponges and now he changes back to the original ones.
He has some minor injuries on wrist and forearm but keeps them under control.

 

[Shifu]

Is sponge the correct translation? He obviously changed blades aswell. Maybe it’s a term for racket too?

 

[rainneverever]

Yes, in recent three years, FZD beat ML in all team events (bo5).
According to Tianjin news before the match, ML has not fully recovered from his back injury which explains the poor FH.

The article said sponges.
Well, we all saw the change of blade and rubber.

Did we really notice a change in the type of rubber he used? I surely didn't before this interview.

Any link to video footage?

 

[rainneverever]

I thought he tried H3 in BH. I may be wrong.

 

[StehTischtennis]

I thought he tried H3 in BH. I may be wrong.

I know the he and Xu Xin tried that, but that was very short-lived and I guess around or even before 2015.

I'm still wondering why only Ma Long plays with a softer DHS H3 rubber on his backhand and no one else.

Not sure if this counts as source of proper information, but if you take a look at ProTT's website, you can see all kind of different H3 BH rubbers...

Yeah I meant racket pictures of Chinese players with a DHS rubber on their BH

 

[Shifu]

He did play with H3 on BH while using the W968.

 

[langel]

Rubbers here, rubbers there, I want to see the match
