Ma Long changed his blade at China Open 2013

[Giangt]

Once again Ma Long is changing his blade again at China Open 2013.

Could this be due to his loss in the WTTC against Wang Hao earlier this year... what do you guys think?

The blade seems like to be different compared to the Hurricane Long 3 without the reconiseable red plies.

Various pictures taken from the China Open 2013 - Pictures from TTD member TurboZ

Ma Long used my dream blade, Timo Boll ALC for sometime, then, suddenly he changed, and changed, and changed. I also wanted to buy the blade he's using, but I stayed with TB ALC because I wanted to improve my game for our university. Changing setups is really detrimental to one's growth. But it's FUN to try and experiment with others

This blade is similar to the new blade of ma long

The top plies of the new blade he is playing with has a lighter color than the Wang liqin blades.

Initially the DHS 506 was made with a Wang Liqin handle as the one in the link.

With that in mind the pictures from the recent China Open 2013 does not show the red plies or it is difficult to see them.

Perhaps some pictures of his opening round in the Chinese Super League will reveal a little more

It might be just the same blade, but they purposely painted it in different way/color. So us, as a fan, would just take out our money from the pocket to buy these blades and thought it is the new blade use by ma long lol

This blade he used it in his DHS technique tutorial in this link check the blade advertisement at the end of the video

He was frustrated after he hasn't won the WTTC amazing that on this level they think it is caused by blade and not by the person Because he was playing good with this blue one until the SF of WTTC doens't he?

 

[Loop_machine]

Yes has was playing with hurricane long III (blue handle) also he didn't change to wood after frustrations from wttc because before he was playing with the custom All wood DHS PG-7

Found this clip at the 7th round of CTTSL.
Rumours are saying it is a composite blade with glass fibre material which are the black lines between the wood layers.

Nice find!

Looks somehow with more prominent dotted line comparing to my HK3. Could be fiber-glass carbon in different proportion.
