Zhang Jike With a New Backhand Rubber


I don't know how many of you have already realised that, but the 2013 World Champion Zhang Jike has changed his backhand rubber. As Sun Tzu on TableTennisDaily shows, the rubber Zhang has been using since the WTTC is Tenergy 05-fx, could you notice ?

I had no idea that happened, it seemed like he played his usual table tennis to me. But as we can see, he did not. The Butterfly Tenergy 05 in general, being a hard rubber it best known for it's adaption to a close play. In which case, is perfect for the Chinese player. He always tended to play his backhand close to the table.

He rarely ends up playing a counter topspin with it, mostly flips, simple topspins or stuff like that. He also likes pushing the ball a little bit sometimes wich is perfect with the rubber. What had he been using before the change, you're asking ? I have no idea, tried to find it out on the web, but came up with nothing. If you know or found it, please write in the comments to let us know.

Anyway, his forehand rubber is the Chinese Hurricane 3. Never heard of it actually and never tested it, so I'm not going to say anything about that, not to spread false informations or stuff. And that's actually everything i have for you at the moment, stay well and expect more infos coming soon !
