I Challenged Strawberry Master Romain Ruiz!

[Dan]

Welcome back guys! Today I’m joined by French star Romain Ruiz as he puts the new STIGA Helix rubbers to the test for the very first time!

Also in this video, he teaches me his legendary strawberry shot, he talks about his recent victory over Fan Zhendong and then we go head-to-head in a challenge match at the end!🔥

💬 Let us know in the comments, do you use traditional or hybrid rubbers?

Romain missed the opportunity to call it the Lettuce shot

As a table tennis addict, I like hybrid rubbers because they exhaust me faster so I don't need to play for 6 hours straight.

@Dan, you should use Spinsight when you review the rubbers. Report the average spin and speed metrics, then it becomes a bit less of subjective scoring we have had in the past.

And by the way, Merry Christmas! 🤶

I don't think the sponsors would like that. We'd have tons of reviews like that if there was no resistance from the manufacturer side. Yet still, objective, measured reviews are not to be found.

It's a bit of a reach to call that little misdirection a strawberry.

Saw glimpses of what looked to be proper ones in the coming attractions snippets of part two, but until further notice, I'll reserve the title of current Strawberry King for:
