I just thought that the last time I wrote about the selection board of the Korean men's team was a few months ago. Then I flipped through it, and it was already the end of 2021, almost two and a half years. Time always flies faster than we think.
Weekly Table Tennis Observation 119: Fang Bo, Sun Yingsha, South Korean Men's Team's Ball
The evolution of equipment for the Korean men's team
Previously, Dark Horse Jun mentioned that the Korean men's team is mainly built-in in terms of board selection, which may be related to their violent aesthetics. If you have enough time to hold the ball, and then you can exert your power unscrupulously, then the best choice must be the built-in aromatic carbon plate.
Among them, there are three types. The first is the butterfly contract player. At the end of 2021, all three butterflies used the structure of Inn ALC. Lee Sang-so and Lim Jong-hoon used special bets. We don't know what level Park Kang-hyun is signing for. He still uses this board: Innerforce Layer ALC.
Then Lim Jong-hoon became the first Korean boy group to use Super Vis. In fact, from the last time he used the Special Inn ALC, his form has risen, and he has performed well in the past two years since he used Vis.
Lee Sang-so has used a special note Inn ALC with different handle parquets. According to the update on the butterfly official website on April 1, he also began to use the SALC special note. After that, we'll take a look at the game.
Then, at the moment, these three (Lee Sang-so, Lim Jong-hoon, Park Kang-hyun) are all two-sided D09c stickers.
There is another one, Wu Huicheng, who is the son of the famous general Wu Shangyin. It is also a butterfly contract player, and SALC+ both sides D09c which I use. Hei Ma Jun mentioned in the previous table tennis observation that the Korean men's team is popular to paste two-sided D09c in this paragraph.
The second type is under the banner of arrogance. At the end of 2021, Ahn Jae-hyun used ice cream AZXI. Jung Young-sik has used ice cream AZXI, and the current official website information stays on ice cream AZX.
The third type, the number of representatives at that time was very small, only Zhang Yuzhen alone. with W968. Double Happiness gave him a personalized W968.
However, according to legend, many people in the Korean men's team use W968 to change the handle (excluding the few who signed the butterfly). And now what I really see is at least the W968 used by Jang Woo-jin and Ahn Jae-hyun.
韩国女队：Innerforce和W968
黑马君发现她们女队也这样，内置的球板为主。 签约蝴蝶的,以Innerforce为主,比如KIM Sungjin(Innerforce Layer ALC)、LEE Daeun(Innerforce Layer ZLC)。
Non-butterfly signed players, mainly W968, such as Zhu Qianxi, Tian Zhixi, Shen Yubin, Liang Xiayin, Li Shiwen, are really a group.
内置转外置，ZLC转ALC，首选SALC？
Switching from internal carbon plates to external aromatic carbon plates made SALC an important choice. Take Lim Jong-hoon, for example. Why is this happening?
Let's take a look at the features of built-in boards like Innerforce. First of all, hold the ball softly with medium to medium strength. Super Vis and Fan Zhendong SALC have also done this. Especially when you put your forehand on your jacket, you feel that they really hold the ball with their forehand than Vis.
Secondly, the Innerforce series of fibers is built-in, and the large core is Ayous with a strong sense of overall deformation and jetting. After exerting full force in this way, there is a sense of amplification of power, and the quality of the veneer is high. These two points are where Super Vis and Fan Zhendong SALC surpass Vis.
Soft ball grip and a sense of amplification of power.
So, why did many of those players who switched from ZLC to ALC also choose SALC? For example, Diaz played Super Zhang before, Sutasini played Bol ZLC before, and then both changed to Super Vis. Currently, Diaz is a SALC specialist, and Sutasini is Fan Zhendong SALC.
I don't think I'm satisfied with ZLC, but I still want to improve my spin and ball handling, which SALC doesn't lack. In addition, SALC maintains a high elasticity that exceeds that of ordinary ALC. This is a change of players, and it is easier to get used to it.
