Thank you both @mikeytt & @Migzkulit for the feedback!

Noticed Bruna and Simon wearing new black shoes at SwedenSmash: Andro Crosstep pro. I'm partial to black shoes for TT. Hmmm...

Here you can see him using V>15 sticky at Zabreg last year.

Shan Xiaona changed her equipment again. Custom Yasaka Atletico Power Pro, with Rakza PO and Moristo SP AX. Bobrow touched on this during her match with Zhu Yuling, but she uses max on both sides and only uses the Rakza if she's desperate.

Does anyone know what Xu Xin currently use ? Did he switch back to TG2 or staying with his own Xuperman rubber on the fh ?

was able to snap the picture from rednote, looks like Xu Xin is still using Xuperman FH rubber. Cool!

Xu Yingbin's blade from Stiga, possibly new blade incoming or just custom? Carbonado 190?

Looks like it. Also using DNA on the backhand.

 

[Zwill]

There goes the Joola blade from Zhou Qihao. Not sure about the rubber though.
And not sure what that is, that he has switched to. Anyone have more insights or could recognize his new blade?

Looks like Lin Yun Ju by handle, but it's a custom blade so could be even a Viscaria with LYJ handle.

From his match against Matsushima

Not sure which Goriki she uses. I was under the impression she used the Super Cut, as is stated in this video from Nittaku. But in this video she speaks about the regular Goriki. Both rackets have the same construction, but the Super Cut is much wider, and thus heavier.

Satoshi is a beast. My Masamune was like 1425 Hz and 85g. Not slow!

It is a Goriki, not a Goriki SuperCut or Goriki Danshi. I have a Goriki with the same DoKnuckle (in 1mm, I see she uses 1.4mm) pips and by counting the pips in this photo and comparing to the count of my pips it is a Goriki.

Goriki Super Cut and Dashi are bigger. Super cut is a bit slower and thinner blade, while Danshi is thicker than Goriki and faster.

According to Nittaku, back in May when she won the WTT Taiyuan, she was using the Super Cut; Nittaku Topics
However, Nittaku published another article a couple days ago with photos of Honoka's racket,

Here they state it's a regular Goriki.

 

[Tyce]

Maybe she uses them based on the circumstances.

 

[tzifos]

Or maybe it is a Goriki Super Cut "trimmed down" to Goriki size in order to be lighter, she uses H3 that is quite heavy and 1.4mm pips.
