The pro's equipment -discussion and questions!

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

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

In other words:
