That looks different to the one that Joola made for him. Looks like the ZQH blade.

Oh duh that's clearly not his blade lmao. I just saw the purple rubbers and assumed it was his. ITTF doesn't list a name with the photo so I'm curious whose it is.

Enrique Rios from Puerto Rico uses ZQH

And Emanuel Otalvaro

Hashimoto speaking (in English!) to ITTF states that her DO Knuckle sponge is 1.2mm

 

[garesnares]

It's 100% Donic. I can see on handle says Donic. Inner too slow for player this level ..

Just saw this yesterday. Looks a lot more like True Carbon Inner. Maybe he switched. I know a couple people switched to inner after starting to use Zyre03.

 

[RefereeNumber2]

Watching FZD's latest match against Redzimski, it looks like he was using Zyre on forehand.

Honestly, he had terribly consistency and he also lacked power today. I don't now if it has anything to do with equipment, but he surely looked at his racket after misses.

What using Yuto Kizukuri?

What using Yuto Kizukuri?

At the All Japan Championships he reported using Hurricane Long 5, Hurricane 3 Neo (blue sponge), but his backhand rubber was listed as just being an inverted rubber. This is likely because he's been using Butterfly for awhile and is sponsored by Nittaku. It's definitely Dignics 05 or 09c, but I don't have much photo evidence.

Thank you. Very unusual for japanese player using H3neo

Does anyone know what blade is Natalia Bajor using? There is conflicting info out there.

Thank you. Please provide a link to the Lidu EA777 (purple sponge) where I can buy it.

It's very hard to find and very expensive. Here's one store in Taiwan that has it:

That was such a great moment for Bajor. Thanks for sharing the photo and the info.

Thank you. What rubber would be an alternative, and what thickness and hardness?
