When did Lin Yun-Ju switch to super viscaria? He was one of the last bastions of zlc xD the other being Franziska who's on/off with his own blade too.
It's been a few months now. There are a number of other men who use ZLC. Yukiya Uda (custom inner ZLC), Yuma Tanigaki (Harimoto ZLC), Hiromu Kobayashi (Harimoto Super ZLC), Kirill Gerassimenko (Lin Super ZLC). I think most men just don't need that level of power.

Han Ying switched blades, but I can find this nowhere in the Victas website or its catalog. Maybe her own blade coming soon?
Funfact: this is my photo.
Funfact: a lot of players are using Victas’ pips, either long or short, I would say that majority of pips players are using Victas.

Interesting. I did find also this on Victas Chinese website. Also fascinated that this is a an inner fiber five ply when she was using the regular Koji Matsushita which is 5 ply all wood. It appears she just started using it at the China Smash.

It is Dignics on Forehand. For me backhand has different coloring than Dignics (or red topsheet mix colour pallet and it is Dignics), but not Zyre colour. It can be DHS 8-80 (he is DHS sponsored and should use one rubber from them - not sure if it is like it needs to be forehand, or he can choose)

Doesn't look like G fless to me
It can be those ST TB ALC G-fless handles that were made for Timo Boll. Supposedly only made in straight. Dima might have same now. Every aspect matters, so if they need less slipping in hand, it would make sense to take them. When Timo played with FL in some of his last matches, he had standard full blue G-fless, so no TB ALC FL G-fless was made for him.

Good hypothesis on the rubbers I think its the bty options you said, however it's not definite h8-80 as we know that DHS players at minimum need to use a blade, not necessarily rubber. Heming's explaination.

Blade and forehand rubber absolutely have to be DHS. Backhand is open.

G fless and double zyre for kallberg?

Backhand is 09c
It is Dignics on Forehand. For me backhand has different coloring than Dignics (or red topsheet mix colour pallet and it is Dignics), but not Zyre colour. It can be DHS 8-80 (he is DHS sponsored and should use one rubber from them - not sure if it is like it needs to be forehand, or he can choose)

This is not a good photo but im fairly certain you can make out the Butterfly wings here if you look at the highest resolution.
