timo boll spark then?
http://www.butterflyonline.com/images/catalog/zoom/7048.jpg

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.

What does Joo use for blade? I've heard rumours that he use Matsush*ta pro alpha or matsush*ta pro with the JSH's handle. Before he used the special made diode...However, it's certain that he uses T64 and Tibhar Grass Dtecs

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.

Doesn't Zhang Jike use Bryce speed in his backhand? I've always known it but can't confirm the source now.

because now there isn't disponibility of black tenergies of a certain weight...timo wrote on his site

disponibility = availibilty

He is saying there aren't any blk t05 of a certain weight. I wonder what weight he is looking for... and gets!

Actually, Werner Schlager's blade is actually a Primorac Carbon blade with Schalger Carbon handles

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..

Interesting,
Pushblocker, how do you know all these things about Schlager?

Butterfly claims that uses Primorac Carbon,  Tenergy 05 and Tenergy 64.
Do you know which Tenergy uses on f/h?

Yes I see.
So Werner Schlager plays Primorac Carbon with Schlager handle.

i thought he used t64 now....you could see it in those close up pictures...or at least some kind of tenergy.

Hi Dennis,
You are not talking too much, 4 posts in 6 years !

Does anyone know what set up (CPen) Wang Jian Jun has.
(His previous JPen set up was probably a clone of RSM's)
