Is Odo's success at Chongqing because she just switched to Zyre on her forehand?

@Matt Hetherington are there any differences between LPZ and the ZQH ARY-c 90 or is it just a color change?

Confirming Kaneyoshi uses Spinpips D3. World Table Tennis magazine says she was using 0.5mm at All Japan 2026, but this photo seems to contradict that (she was using 1.6mm before)

It’s a different supplier and i’m not sure if the aramid carbon is as densely woven as the hyper ary-c. I’m trying to get one asap to try myself 😂 they have to get them in catalog in Japan really early in the year, hence them having it published first.

Kenji’s is limba outer, Pitch’s is Koto

Looks like Ovtcharov is back to using his signature blade:

But did ovtcharov switch the handle tho? He used st before but this one seems like flared

Just noticed that Anton Kallberg switched to Timo Boll ALC

Finn Luu no longer using DHS. He must of did the KCJ and cancelled his contract early or either the contract was only for a short amount of time.

On his IG it’s stated in his bio that he is a part of the Tibhar Crew. I’m not sure what blade he is using right now but I think it has a Butterfly logo on the bottom of the blade handle.

Maybe he discovered that DHS sponsorship gives 10 commercial blades which is not equivalent to one W968 😅

Credit to the original poster on red note but it looks like FZD has switched his FH rubber to Butterfly/non H3(?). Assuming this is because of the difference in playing style/tempo with TT in Euro (noted that in previous matches he'd use dignics on his FH and H3 on the BH).

Maybe it depends on the table he plays on? I remember seeing one of his matches where he used 09c on FH and H3BS on BH
