STIGA Carbonado 145 Blade Review with Fan Zhendong! 

Replace "the blade" by "Fan"

Fan Zhendong could flip my hardest underspin serve with his cell phone.

Donald J. Trump Make the blades great again!

You are right, Frank.....

Fan Zhendong Review

@@lucaingenhaag5240 ooo shit, i almost died of laughing man, you made my day haha

Even morning wood!

I agree Steve, his backhand flick is sensational. It was really confusing me when I was playing with him how he managed to flick the serve with such ease!

TableTennisDaily Sure FZD can do it about as good as anybody but I've seen you and Tom do it also. Maybe if you're ever up to it, put up a separate video on what you look for when you do it. Sometimes I'll see players like FZD or ZJK still push serves. So it makes me question, do they push pure backspin and flip everything else? Or can they flip pure backspin also. If so, how do they not put that ball in the net. Anyways, a nice tutorial video on what you look for would be nice. Just a thought. thanks.

His wrist action is so fast, that he can close the blade against low backspin balls. And I think you're right; for me it's way harder to flip pure backspin than shots with a slight amount of sidespin. The reason for his wrist action is of course his great muscle speed, but also his technique. As you can see, the blade's tip is pointing down at the table in a right angle before he executes the flip shot. Just before impact he turns his wrist more than 90° which creates a longer way for the racket to accelerate. Most people I have seen only use 45° when they are flipping even at semi professional level.

Notice how top players don't fuck around with blocking and just return top spin with top spin. TTD Conclusion, Fan Zhendong was unable to give Blocking rating therefore dropping the overall to 5/10 for this blade huehuehue

@@SteveSoper1979 It's less about whether or not they're able to flick the serve but rather which shot will catch their opponent off-guard the best. If you flick for 100% of your receives, they'll start to anticipate it and position themselves to attack the flick. The short push is to stop them from being able to guess your receive while also stopping them from attacking hard. Being able to do this well is what separates the pros from the amateurs.

mrmr1964 You will never have a true offensive blade when it comes to 75g. Unless somebody designs a specific rubber which then will be heavy, I don't see it happening. Table tennis equipment is all about compromise, you can't have the best spin and the top speed.

I see this is an old post, but I`d like to point out that no one is "naturally wristy". They worked on their technique - you can`t just start playing and do a good backhand flip. It doesn`t matter how fast and fit I am, I am not as good at soccer as Cristiano Ronaldo is.

Eh maybe. To me FZD looked like he was putting in minimal effort. I don't think its the equipment.

We are trying our best however we try to encourage users to ask questions to our website where it is easier to reply and users can already see questions they may have asked, answered.

It's best not to bother with tubing comments. There is a forum I believe they hang around on.

Lol i think Asian baby's are the cutest :P

+Max Frank babies* haha, don't mean to make you mad, just intend to make you forget about everything and did the other guy delete his comment? ;)

+Yomomma Pranked yeah cz he knows he's wrong

I think so or dan can speak chinise

He now uses the carbanado 145 and some sort of Chinese rubber (hurricane etc) and then probably tenergy 05 on the bh

Thank you!

MidnightSTALKER979 he doesn't realize it because he's playing fan zhendong

Some of this was with a Go Pro, works well :)

Lol

Thanks! :)

he might

Its like an open secret that his paddle is a Viscaria with VPS handle. But due to his contract with stiga, when onve he was interviewed he talked about how much he likes the VPS, it was funny.

Who cares, we get to see FZD close up and personal. Really interesting to get the chance to see this close up angle of FZD`s reverse pendulem which I consider to be the best serve of any of the pro`s.

HELLOXD7 yes but not fluently

They are such good friends now that Dan can call him Fanny

I know?! - it looks so bizarre! (I thought I was the only one who noticed that because nobody else was commenting on it?). How does he even get that shot off? I replayed it dozens of times and I still can't quite figure out what exactly he's doing. He's probably just screwing around too(?)! The guys at the top are such a talented bunch (that goes for everything in life of course!). It gives us something to strive toward.

William Bouchet he's doing a sidespin flick. Zhang Jike does this too

He actually brought the tip of the blade under the back-side of the ball to lift the backspin. CRAZY!!!!

Haha! Good point!
