Xu Xin is amongst the young Chinese warriors including Ma Long and Zhang Jike as the best trio in recent times. Xu Xin is one of very few players in the top 100 of the World to play with a unique style of grip - The penhold grip.

Very useful he is my favorite player, but I think he uses Stiga Rosewood V as blade thanks for the profile

 

[Dan]

Thanks, yeah i'm not 100% sure, I checked the Stiga website and it said he uses Stiga Offensive NCT Wood blade. Ill look into it

 

[azlan]

Also he is naturally a right hander. Yup, I thought he uses Rosewood V, we can see it in the video "A day in the life of XU Xin"..but true enough, Stiga website stated Offensive NCT Wood. Maybe he just changed it from Rosewood..

 

[Eric chan]

I can see Xu Xin video that he had changed to Rosewood 5. But I don't know what type of rubber for his back hand.

 

[Morkafa]

Xu Xin is naturally left-handed.

Xu Xin is naturally left-handed.

Think so. He holds chopsticks with the right hand, though.

 

[jarment]

Isn't he ambidextrous for everyday activities?

 

[LeftHandPenhold]

Can someone please confirm which rubber Xu Xin uses for forehand? This is latest match he had: http://i57.tinypic.com/8wmblg.png

 

[penholdlooper]

Xu Xin uses Skyline 2 or 3 National Blue Sponge. He used to use 3, but he might be following Ma Lin's footsteps.
