*Is your Korbel blade a normal standard sized blade or is it customized oversized (like other defensive blades). What sponge thickness do you use under your Feint Long II? And what Tenergy are you using and what thickness? [Manofan, Lorre]
My Butterfly Korbel blade is Japanese and special weight just for me, heavier than in production. Tenergy 05 is 2.1 and Feint Long II is 1.1
*Why did you choose for Feint Long II on your backhand and not Feint Long III or TSP Curl P1r or any other pips? [Birding]
I play with Feing Long II since I was a young boy and this means I am most confident with this rubber and also i know the tricks can do ;).
*What are your impressions of the ITTF, and the impact these decisions are having on players and the sport? [Haggisv]
I think ITTF make many changes and very often those are not good for the sport... Anyway it is their decision and we have to accept..
*Do you have any comments on the new poly ball? It would be very interesting to read your comments on how the poly ball will affect defenders. Are you thinking about changing your setup because of the poly ball? [Birding]
I think the plastic balls are not so good for defenders because the rotation is less... Anyway a good defender at top level must have also good attack so I'm trying to think it like it's the same for everybody.. My opinion is that this is not the main problem but the quality of the balls are very bad so i hope soon this will be improved...
*I believe you're currently sponsored by Butterfly, correct? What sort of support do you get from your sponsor? [Haggisv]
Butterfly supports me a lot in many things and I want to thank them for it....
*Do you get much involvement in testing and development of their new equipment? For example the Gionis Carbon blades? [Haggisv, Pipsy]
Of course I have tested all my blades and I am the one that told them my opinion for each blade...
