Yes, plastic ball used, see link on previous post.

Except that these days Chinese players win nearly every major event, as we all should know.  There is such a thing as reality.   Maybe a visitor from the future will be able to do better, but Igor, your favorite players have actually played in the recent past with pretty much no success against CNT players.  Maybe Niwa will beat Zhang Jike regularly in some sort of alternative Star Trek universe, like the one where Spock has a beard and Uhuru wears leather. 

Or maybe this guy Taisey Niwa you are talking about is some player we have never heard of before, an evil twin of Koki Niwa, who will stun ZJK with a taser right before the match and win that way, and thereby get his new name, after which ZJK says "don't tase me bro" in Chinese.  (Sort of like in the Book of Genesis in the Bible, where after Jacob beats God in a wrestling match he gets to take the new name Israel).

It can't bounce differently.  The issue is that DO has ridiculously spiny game, so even for the pros its hard to handle. Because the two-toned ball was plastic according to some reports.

I thought I read they wear using cell. ball just two color for their finals and the plastic would be used first time in the next ITTF tournament.

I would look closely to Zhang till next WTTC. He seems to start to level up his game and may be at top form when worlds comes. If he wins some protours events early next year I would put him to make a remarkable 3-peat.

Jike is a good working horse, brutal machine,, not genius indeed..   Same are all the china stars.

Taisey NIWA is a visitor from the future. He can work wonders like a god. He took the best trend to win -- sideway play,

If only could DO flip a couple more with his fh from the right small triangle. He has improved with his FH short game, but still a long to go.

Agreed. Dima's body is his main problem. Not that this info adds anything to this thread...
