Liam Pitchford signs for Joola

[CallMeZaddy]

Looks like from the promotional videos he’s using Vyzaryz Freeze so I would guess it’s probably based something on that or the Freeze HRD. I personally like the Freeze HRD better because of the Koto outer

I think they probably handed him something random for the photoshoot and he likely hasn't had any time to seriously test the stuff yet. I'll stake an early guess on the Freeze HRD.

 

[Matt Hetherington]

He is starting out with the Zhou Qihao 90 blade for Doha next week so will see how that goes

Actually it’s not the Freeze, it’s an older blade called Zelebro pbo-c which I thought might be a good base for him to try and see if he liked it.

Ooh that’s awesome. Happy to get the inside scoop. I like the ZQH90 a lot and got one in 85g and one at 88g. Feels like a more controlled BTY Vis SALC

I’ve been using it since it came out and I love it. I’ll likely be the person working most closely with Pitch so will def have more inside scoop for everyone soon hopefully 😚

Zelebro too stiff and lack of feeling
Give him Vyzaryz Trinity... 3 training sessions and will be happy.
Enough words...
If yall need help... Darker Avantir is limba - Red Kevlar carbon - ayous CNF(Auroveil)- Kiri and it is 5,7mm of bombastic speed with what a feeling...I know the highest level of EJs and we have around 5k blades tested but two guys plus me use the Darker blade. We have problems with matching rubbers and the handle is too thin but this composition 5+4 with CNF is Perfect for us and we have different styles but if we take Red Kevlar and change for Pbo-C/A-C/Trinity as replacement It could be something special for hedonistic players and that's how I describe American culture.

Btw my friend used ZQ 45/90, Energon. Me with all Vyzaryz, Nobilis, Zelebro, Energon and I really enjoy Trinity.

Btw Joola TPE Fight used red Kevlar carbon too

getting back into TT after over 30 years I bought some Joola Rossy number and it was such a load of crap it made me into a EJ.

I’m still…catching my breath… after reading this…

 

[plunder]

I have some samples in the works for him, ultimately we will see what combos he likes the most and go from there 😝

is Liam obligated to use Joola rubbers at all official matches

I gave him Trinity, Freeze HRD and ZQH 90. He ended up initially choosing the ZQH. The Zelebro is totally different to those 3, it’s important to give a lot of different options and see which way a player might lean.

Good thing Liam is English. Perhaps we can inquire with MH to determine his hedonism level.

What’s the Joola equivalent to D09C and D80 or D05?

What’s the Joola equivalent to D09C and D80 or D05?

From what I’ve seen so far, Joola ZGX for D09C and Inferno with D05.

I want to try a ZQH 90 one day with a H3 on FH and Inferno on BH, but must keep EJ virus down lol. I’m in love with my CDS anyways so NO MORE EJING CMONNNNN

 

[joshmak10]

@Matt Hetherington so what rubbers is Liam combining with his ZQH 90?

Well, this is giving me a dejavu vibe lmao

Actually he's trying Dynaryz ZGR both sides, same as Sid Naresh. That's what he wanted to try initially so he will use that in Doha

 

[Fedex78]

I don't get why the majority of Joola sponsored pros seem to favor ZGR over ZGX. ZGX is such a great rubber and ZGR is previous technology compared to ZGX (and also heavier than ZGX).

@Matt Hetherington

Are we going to see Liam on 'talking smash'?
