I’ve heard from visitors that various brands aren’t represented here, so they can’t make any purchases. I suppose this has something to do with contractual agreements between the brands and WTT?
So Li-Ning (Tibhar, Donic and Joola also) would be represented, but not Butterfly. Nor would Andro, Gewo or Stiga. It’s rather strange that two local brands don’t have a sales stand in their own backyard.
You mentioned exactly those that are here.
I was expecting also Butterfly, since previously they were in Frankfurt for WTT, also maybe Loki Germany. Basically any German Brand.
Yesterday I came by guys from Spinsight. I didn’t really see anyone trying it though. At the beginning, there were kids playing(together, not with Spinsight). Then passing by two times, no one was playing, just talking, then wanted to come after match, they were gone. In time frame of 1 hours maybe, I must have missed like 10 minutes of actual demonstration. Idk.
What has weird feeling for me is that players are literally warming up on a hallway. Yes, it has some space and is bounded, but still. It is under tribune (that is not populated as it is behind the promotion wall.)
Hugo vs LJK was really nice here, Patrick Franziska is sending rockets, WCQ vs WRB had few quality shots, Hitomi Sato defense is really nice, though overall a lot of 3-0 and not the best performances.
PS: they take water bottles at the entrance. I don’t believe it has anything to do with a fact, that inside the water is 40x times more expensive than in a shop. I really don’t believe that.
