Actually, the rubbers are on the web version of the LARC, but the PDF download hasn't been updated yet (new LARC due tomorrow - 1st Dec).  Exciting stuff!  Yasaka have a new japanese rubber (Valmo), two new ESN rubbers (Rigan and Xtend GP) and a new Japanese short pip (Elfrark).

I could go mad clicking around for new things (ITC, Mizuno, Nittaku, Tibhar, TSP all have interesting new things), but I'll wait for the PDF to appear to list them all on a different thread.

But hey - Xiom have Omega V Elite and Vega Intro!

Interested in Donic ZHou YU Three. Another version of ML 5? or Viscaria? It is not available in TT11 yet. But the handle looks good.

Yeah, depends on who's making them for Donic really.  Not sure on the quality, but it's cheaper than the True Carbon.  tt-japan have them:

Just check the chinese website. It appears that Zhou Yu Three is anoter variant of Viscaria. It makes sense as Zhou Yu used to play with Viscaria. It is only available in the Japan market right now as it is D. JTTA. So this one might be made in Japan not in China like Zhou YU one and two.

I was waiting to buy ZHou Yu from TT11. It seems that it is very unlikely TT11 will have it since it is made and marketed for Japan.

I bought mine from TT-Japan. The one for Japan does not have the circular Zhou Yu picture on the handle like those in China. It is about 5.6 mm in thickness similar to True Carbon. Fish scale top ply looks nice. I would not doubt if it is made in China considering the price. Too bad Zhou Yu was seen using DHS days ago in the National Champ instead of his signature blade. Donic should start making him a custom blade with its handle at least.

I bought Zhou Yu in FL and True Carbon in ST. Very similar in design and everything. I can't help thinking the Dima pic on the handle is the work of China.

I feel that the fl handle of True Carbon is narrower than Viscaria. How about the Zhou Yu Three? What is your opinion on ZHou Yu Three, True Carbon, and Viscaria? I actually like True Carbon more than Viscaria (fl)

The FL of ZY3 is a tiny bit thinner than Viscaria. Probably the same as TC FL. Have not put rubber on it yet so can't comment on its performance. TC is a great blade. So far the best Donic I have. Although it is thinner than my Viscaria, I found TC less flex, more precise and easier to play fast with control.

So far I see only Chinese made blades put picture of player on the handle and the quality of the Dima pic is kind of low so it gives me the thought. Donic actually skip the picture of Zhou Yu when they release the ZY3 in the Japanese market. They keep it for those selling in China.

In the meantime Zhou Yu One and Zhou Yu Two are available at TT11.

Edit: just noticed it's about the Zhou Yo Three blade (which isn't available at TT11 indeed). :S

It's Funny to see Juanito wearing an Evolution rubber Tshirt. I'd bet he doesn't even know Evo it's a pimples-it rubber since he never was interested on any equipment bussiness

Bty we will no longer keep playing with our national team, he decided to quit NT this las5 Sunday against Russia on a farewell match after 20+ years.

It likely means "inner power".

Izanas is the name of the synthetic fibre they wove with carbon. It's produced by some Japanese company, you can search it.
