LOL

Which sponge thickness have your rubbers? Yeah, Of course Rosewood is a fast and heavy blade. Tibhar Stratus Power gives you much controll because it's not that heavy and has slower veneers ;) Rosewood offers you a good feeling but Stratus Power Wood also ensures this;) I think a new wood is not needed to improve your game, but you can look after thinner sponge thickness or slower rubbers ;) Sorry for my english I think it's not so good xD

[TheTTstudio]

Damn That rosewood looks so beautiful. I want to have one really!!

[Kwonghun2]

@TheTTstudio I have one!!! It's reeeeaaaally beautiful and I really enjoy playing with it! ;) I can recommend this wood any active offensive player ;)!

[TheTTstudio]

@Kwonghun2 SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY LOL...

However, I think i'm still not that good to use that fast blade.. I don't know, I'm using the Tibhar Stratus Power Wood with Genius sound on both sides and found it too fast...

Please give me some advice!!

I'm a little bit confuse with the racket of Xu Xin at 0:31. Why the Rubber is not touching the handle of the blade? I'm new at Table tennis. Thanks in advance

[Kwonghun]

@PartyRockz28 It's a Penhold Blade... This space between the rubber and the handle is for your thumb and your pointer finger :) Welcome to the great world of Table Tennis :)

Xu xin went from a YASAKA blade to an Offensive NCT which STIGA advertized and then he used an Optimum carbo for a while and now he uses the Rosewood NCT V. He uses Hurricane 3 and Calibra LT. Special versions of course, and tuned.

[timurshaipov]

@WorthlessGeek he uses Tenergy and not Calibra LT. I guarentee that.

[dfunkt]

cool video!...but too short.

[taufoofar]

Love how all these behind the scenes show that the Chinese players are human, too. Nice to see them smile and having fun. =)

@taufoofar

I completely agree! Behind the scene clips are the best! During a match Chinees look like cocky assholes but in these kind of clips you see a total different side of them!

[criddlenation]

Xu Xin trying to innovate a reverse penhold forehand?

[ngpalace]

I am sure he has been using the BW 2 or 3 on the Fh

[str3123]

Sorry guys, my fault... I've seen him playing sometimes with the Yasaka Malin Extra Off but he also uses Stiga. Anyway, you should do a Xu Xin blade!

[BollForte94]

Maybe he really plays Rosewood but he never will play Calibra.

Don't lie, Stigatabletennis1944 ;)

The Stiga Offensive Wood NCT is a really good blade ;)

[lanman123456]

@BollForte94

He plays calibra, but not the same like you =D factorystyle, like all pro´s...

[BollForte94]

@lanman123456 but I have a picture of Xu Xins blade + rubbers

the rubber is from DHS and the sponge is blue :D

[lanman123456]

@BollForte94

I think he plays calibra on bh, the DHS rubber is black. the calibra is red =D

[threefifteeny]

by the way..what's the title of the bg song? :)

[stigatabletennis1944]

Dear Str3123, Xu Xin is using the Rosewood NCT V and not the Yasaka blade. Before the Rosewood he used Offensive NCT and before that the Yasaka blade and I guarentee that is 100% true.

[MrLabtec74]

@stigatabletennis1944 he uses siga clibra lt

[str3123]

That would be difficult: even if they pay him to use stiga, he still uses yasaka blades! So I wonder how they can made a xu xin blade without cheating buyers...

[threefifteeny]

cool. is there gonna be a Xu Xin-labeled blade already? :D
