If I remember correctly from the video I saw a Viscaria handle, and also all CNT have H3 blue sponge on FH. Also recently a former CNT member said rubbers used in CNT are just different variations of Hurricane, and Butterfly stuff, so the only question is which Butterfly rubber he is using, probably 05 or 09c if I have to guess.

My guess is he would use 09c on BH to copy FZD

The very first time I notice this young Turk was him beating Ma Long in China Internal Competition at the age of 15 or something thereabout. I thought he will be a one hit wonder ( there are plenty of those in China as superkids are dime a dozen in China ).

It is perhaps it is time to take a little closer look at this wonderboy.

He has the worst looking great backhand I've ever seen. Often seems like he's reaching too far forward, with too early timing, and then he swats at the ball with an invisibly fast compact stroke. But the results speak for themselves. I think his timing must be nearly perfect to make that backhand work. I don't trust it. I wonder if he'll be a streaky player, great when he's on, inconsistent when he's not.
