Subject: The pro's equipment -discussion and questions!
Date Posted: 05/07/2010 at 5:44am
Together with Alex I have decided to start a thread to gather all questions, and discussions, about the pro's equipment!

This means:

1. All off topic will be deleted, or moved out in separate topics.

2. All new topics posted with questions about the pro's equipment will be moved into this one!

I have put in a few pro's that I know, and I will keep this first post updated with a list of the pro's and their equipment.

I will do alphabetically after their last name.

If you are absolutely certain about a players equipment, please put it like this in your post, so I can just copy it into the list:

Ma Long
R:Timo Boll Spirit
F:H3 Neo
B:Tenergy 64


Boll, Timo
R:Timo Boll ALC
F:Tenergy 05
B:Tenergy 05


In other words:

The Players Name
Blade
FH rubber
BH rubber

I have updated the first post, and will include both male and female players in the list.

Now I know that we have a thread for both male and female pro's equipment already, but the reason I'm doing this ks that both threads contain what the players used before the glue ban.

The colour of the sponge! (I'm so glad I got here first)

One of them is probably a bit harder than the other. Could be other differences to, but I'm not sure..

Some say that blue sponge is more elastic and react better with booster/tunning

Does anyone know what Christophe Legout is using?

It's some sort of Tenergy, and the blade is supposedly TBS, but that just doesn't seem right..

Schalger, note that Hoyama and Matsumoto are J-penholders. They use only one rubber.

For Legout, he uses T05 with TBS (legout handle)

Moved it into this topic, gariklokin..

It does look like a carbon mix, possibly arylate/carbon?





Edit: Found a picture of Xu Xin's racket, and that backhand rubber is certainly not Tenergy.

Also Chuang Chih-Yuan's racket which seems to be some sort of custom BTY blade with Tenergy 64 on the red side, and some type of Tenergy on the black side.

It was uploaded to http://www.fotop.net/rxng/cntt/ - http://www.fotop.net/rxng/cntt/ 4, now 5, days ago.

The Kuwait open was over 2 months ago, so it's not unlikely that he has changed his bh since then..

For me looks like a custom made that they put TB Spark handle without any lens..

TB Spark is only Arylate and this one looks like A/C.

most of the top 20 player are using pure wood blade.
Including Ma long and Timo.
You would say "hey, but I see Ma's handle is Timo Boll Spirit!!"

Well....Like u just said....u saw the handle........

Same with Jun Mitzutani.

I played the blade which is made for him. Got the same handle as u see
that sells in TT store. But it is pure wood, light.... extremely controllable...

All pros' blade are not bouncy at all. Because for attack, U will need to learn
to put in strength on your own, not relying on blade. And All pros already
knew how to do that. But on defense and counter attacking shots, they
will have to have a extremely stable blade.

During intense and powerful rallies, it is impossible to count on bouncy
blades.

Give them a blade bought from stationary, glued with Tenergy.
Believe me, when they do a drive, u still touch nothing.

I am sure that i have seen the blue colored ALC layers on Timo Boll's blade in one of the videos. Though i am very sure that you are correct about what you have said above, i just don't believe that they are using an all wood blade.
You should substantiate your verdict with pics to make all of us believe.

Speed is not everything. Suppose all the pros are able to hit so powerful drives but then the they still can use carbon or ALC blades because if its already fast then they have to show that they are able to handle the speed in slow shot or they will be just like us, power but no control is nothing. Besides, Ma Long if he uses ALC, its possibly for the dead feeling ( little vibration ) that he wants.

Actually, Werner Schlager's blade is actually a Primorac Carbon blade with Schalger Carbon handles Wink
Before Butterfly made the Schlager Carbon, Werner was playing the Primorac Carbon. In order for the Schlager Carbon to be different from the Primorac Carbon, Butterfly produced the Schlager Carbon blade with a slightly thicker inner ply. This of course brought the weight up. Werner likes his blades to be exactly 91 grams and the Primorac Carbon is exactly 91 grams while the Schlager Carbon is 95 - 96 grams. So, in order for him to play with a blade with his name on, they actually put Schlager Carbon handles on a Primorac Carbon for him.. 
For someone at a sub world class level, I doubt that they would even notice the difference between the Primorac an Schlager Carbon blade.. They are basically identical except for the inner ply which is only slightly thicker on the Schlager Carbon.. He does NOT have a special made blade (other than the handle with his name).. It actually is a off the shelf Primorac Carbon with only the handle being difference.. His rubbers (Tenergy 05) are also off the shelf Tenergy 05 rubbers..

You are absolutely right..

The picture showing a white sponge and a BTY logo was old, and all pictures from the ITTF from 2010 shows an orange/red sponge.

Tenergy 64 is more likely than both 05 and 25, so I'll put down T64.

Werner and I have been best friends since High School.. I grew up in Austria and moved to the US 13 years ago.. Werner was visiting me in December before he went up to Chicago to play at the Spinvitational. When we played in my garage, I asked him if he played a off the shelf Schlager Carbon and he told me that it's a off the shelf Primorac Carbon with a Schlager handle and that the difference between both blades is that the center ply is thicker on the Schlager Carbon and that this brings the weight to 95 - 96 grams and that he likes his blades exactly 91 grams.

I was actually surprised when he told me that it was actually basically a off the shelf blade (even though not really a Schlager Carbon).. I know that he would have the option that Butterfly makes a blade specifically for him. Some Pro's do NOT play off the shelf blades like Werner does. His blade (except for the grip) is no different than what anybody else plays if they get a Primorac Carbon from Butterfly.. Again, the difference to the Schlager Carbon is mostly the extra weight. Most Pro's are VERY specific when it comes to blade weight..

afaik S�ss plays with a Boll Spirit, rubbers are still Tenergy05.

Ovtcharov's black (forehand) rubber is a tenergy aswell (didnt see exactly which one), his red bh rubber is a donic. when he is smashing the ball, he is changing to his red rubber!

smirnov with clipper + 2x Tenergy, got a picture from the ittf screen when his racket was laying on the table, you could see the tenergy sponge.

timo still with tenergy and alc but probably not that happy right now: after missing a shot vs. mizutani in the 5th set (the point from 8:7 to 8:8) he is shouting "Schei� Bel�ge" -> "f*cking rubbers"

if you watched the complete game, you could see him often looking to his (mostly fh-) rubber after missing a shot again...

From Moscow, Petr Korbel seems to have switched back to his old Korbel OFF (5-ply) blade and uses some kind of Tenergy on both sides. I'm assuming its T05 since that was what he used before.

Look at 10:07 minute against Ma Long. Timo's black rubber is definitely not T05. The sponge is like Bryce Speed's or similar or something else.

Have you tried Donic Akkadi? Don't know much about it other than that Fabian Akerstrom (World's top frictionless long pimple players) is using that rubber. Not as good as the old Hallmark Original rubber (of course!) he used to use but he did say that he'd been using the same rubber for over a year... I remember the old ones randomly losing pips pretty quickly.
 
I did some filming with him at the Worlds Champs that just finished and I'll be making some videos in the not too distant future.

One sponge is red (Tenergy) and the other is not red. How can you say that are both Tenergys?

Those sponges looks like the same color to me.. (btw, boll's racket is the one to the right, not to be confused with the TBS to the left)

Feng Tianwei at the 2010 WTTTC:

She has used the Stiga Kevlar for some time, but this looks more like a tube carbo to me! There is a better view of it in the match against Ding Ning, as mentioned earlier!

OK, you're right, I was looking to TBS instead of ALC. Sorry!

1) I saw Feng Tianwei using some Stiga blade with the '' Tube '' written on the handle during the match.
2) Why do the players have to be so specific about the weight of the blade? Lighter = thinner = slower and more vibration and vice versa? And for example, does a 92gr blade feel different from a 91gr? I'm really curious in these things because weight has never been one of my real concern ( unless I can feel it's too heavy XD )
