Fan Zhendong's paddle

Probably some sort of National version Hurricane Blue Sponge FH and TENERGY BH (I'm just guessing it's 05)

According to stiga he used calibra tour M.

The blue sponge is visible. the_theologian is right. I think they are saying they use Stiga rubbers for commercials to help boost Stiga's sells. But if those rubbers do not work for them and their blade, then they have to find the rubbers that will work well for their game.

well, fzd u can see the infinity in his matches, he's used hurricane 3 for a long while, and it makes more sense for him to play T05 as opposed to T64 since he's spin-based and able to power loop on both wings, not a speed-based bh player like zjk, chuan, yan an..actually not sure about yan an but based on his play style i'd wager he does use T64 bh too.

It is assumed that there exists a version that pros get directly from Butterfly with the SP marking on the sponge, hence the name.

That was Yan An. His dad told reporters after his loss to Ovtcharov at the World Cup that his inconsistent performance was due to the change of rubber. It's said he switched from T05 to T05FX in hopes of higher control in prepration for the National Games. In contrast, Yan An said his loss was due to inexperience. It was then people joked how everyone blames it on equipment whereas pros look elsewhere for issues.

page can be found...

But would it be legal as it is different from the one on the ITTF list of approved rubbers?

There is no national or special tenergy , just BUTTERFLY REAL Tenergy that even timo boll uses both sides with a special required weight that's all. Don't let people fool you guys:))))

Yes yes but what i am saying there is no different in anything from the one you buy from butterfly

Good question
