Kristian Karlson from Calibra to Tenergy at the Czech Open

Good find! I believe he has done the same as Pär Gerell.. He's still using Calibra LT on the backhand, but has found out that the Tenergy is more suitable for his forehand game. Did you see how well PG played since he change to Tenergy on forehand? Huge difference! Sooo more stabile now

But you buy a blade for its playing qualities not what it looks like therefore its a misconception

I´m really sceptical about this photo. I haven´t seen Kristian playing with red rubber in his fh nor without edge tape lately. If I would have to bet I would bet that this photo is from practice where he is trying out this racket. I can be wrong, but this picture doesn´t prove me that he has actually changed his gear.

I am sorry to say but you lost your bet The picture is from the official ITTF Flickr site day 3 from the Czech open 2015. This means the picture is very recent and valid as well.

Yes I know that this picture is from official ITTF site. I tried to find a video of Kristians mach from that tournament but didn´t find any. So I´m still sceptical. I´m not saying that I´m absolutely sure that he is not playing with Tenergy
but I would still bet against it. If someone can find a Clear picture of his fh rubber from World cup or European championships it would be really appreciate.

 

[Tommy16]

After Polish open I would still bet strongly against Kristian using Tenergy and just hope that no one calls my bluff.

As I said to you before I think you lost your bet! I found a picture of him from the WC where he uses T05 Black in FH and in his BH he uses a Calibra of some kind probably LT.

[Danggi]

Have any Pros use innerforce zlc in nowadays?

Any mini review for this blades?

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

Bump.

 

[Jakob-Emil]

Does anyone have a updated list of Ma Long's rubbers?

 

[MegaZZ]

I saw your other thread earlier, was waiting for Giangt to reply as he is the guru on these matters. I actually think ML BH is on a Tenergy at the moment (I think UpsideDownCarl mentioned this as well) and if I had to take a stab I would say it's Tenergy 05. I can't provide a picture yet to prove this but I believe someone will have something from the recently concluded World Cup, Polish Open or maybe from Chinese Super League earlier this year. FH I believe it's still H3 Neo Blue Sponge. Anyway, we need others to wade in and confirm?

It's the rubber watching season again hehe (much like it's getting to be good bird watching season Down Under)

And if you look at the setup Giangt has listed as his setup, I believe that may be Ma Long's setup too. hahaha.

Seems like Kasumi Ishikawa changed her blade at the WC from Clipper to IF ALC... Hey is that Butterfly's online shop!? Gotta go...

Octharov blade

2015 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals, Dec 10 - 13, Lisbon POR.Janus videos:
I was watching the Octcharov vs Mizutani ( Janus videos). At 11.31 minute there is a clear image of the Octcharov blade on the table where the plies can be seen.

There ya go

 

[VicVoc32]

So Ovtcharov is clearly not using a Donic blade. I have heard that he has used the Stiga Clipper but that blade does not look lika a Clipper. Can it be Stiga Carbonado or some Butterfly carbon blade?
