So what is the reason for creating this thread?
To make us feel like shit and like the equipment we use is a piece of crap?
I guess so? haha
Timo Boll said his rubbers are commercial.
But I know 2 players who both played with Timo Boll.
One is the son of my good friend head coach, who both appeared in one of my recent videos if anyone wants to know further. He played with Timo for 2 years, and Timo was his "driver" during his stay in Germany.
The other played 1 division below Timo and both of them used Timo's bat and it was not the same as "commercials" that they used.
So many people have shared photos of how sponsored players get "bulk" packaged rubbers and Timo (at that time) was Butterfly's no 1 player, and also top 3 in the world.
When Lin was getting T05 Hard before it came out, he was not even in Timo's pinnacle status yet (he still isn't)
I would have thought that its now public knowledge that Butterfly top pros get rubbers in bulk pack (Heming Hu also shared videos too in his vlog, and he isn't even top WR100, only Australia no 1)
So to think Pros and us use the same.
well, I guess marketers want us to think like so, so they can generate profits
