Macau World Cup men's singles group stage, Ahn Jae-hyun 2:2 Wang Chuqin. Draw. But if it is a small score, Wang Chuqin has 1 point more than Ahn Jae-hyun. This 1 point may be crucial and affect the subsequent qualifying situation. Of course, to say that Xiao'an Road is narrow, it does not mainly refer to this point.
There are several interesting points in this showdown. In the first game, when he was 7:9 behind, Ahn Jae-hyun sent two hooks, and Wang Chuqin ate them all, 9 draws. In the second game, when he was behind 5:9, Ahn Jae-hyun sent two more hooks, and Wang Chuqin ate them all, 7:9. It seems that he is also afraid of this trick.
At the beginning of the third game, Ahn Jae-hyun increased the proportion of hook serves. After sending the hook, I feel that his connection is smoother. After 5 draws, Ahn Jae-hyun called a timeout. After the pause, Wang Chuqin served and was directly deducted one point by the referee. Obviously, this decision had an impact on Wang's mentality. In the fourth game, in the lead, he was reversed by Ahn Jae-hyun. I don't talk too much about the serve, but when I receive Wang Chuqin's serve, "you can wait a little longer and then deal with it", I think Ahn Jae-hyun has found the trick of extending the serve. Maybe I got inspiration from Zhang Yuzhen, who won Wang Chuqin last time.
Although he stepped on Xiom sneakers, Xiao An no longer held Ahn Jae-hyun TMXi, which he endorsed, and the backhand rubber was no longer an Omega 7 - the official website said it was an O7 Pro. The board is a good board, and the rubber is not bad. I don't think the Omega 7 Pro will be different from Dignics in terms of actual combat results.
At the Singapore Grand Slam in March, Dark Horse Jun wrote that Ahn Jae-hyun re-used W968. Of course, he used it many years ago. In the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, he won the bronze medal, and he used W968.
In March, the rubber was still proudly branded with a signature black carbon sponge (Omega 7). But in this World Cup, the backhand rubber was replaced by Dignics (it is not clear whether it is D05 or D09c).
That is to say, Ahn Jae-hyun's current configuration: W968, NEO Blue Country Mania, D05 or D09c
As an arrogant star, it's not easy to do. It's impossible to change the double happiness, if you like 968, the butterfly won't sign you. In this way, the road is narrow!
Of course, there is a high probability that Xiao An's operation will be arrogant and ignore. Many brands have signed contracts with players that clearly state that "players have the right to try other brands of equipment". "Trial"? That's very broad. So we see some of the signatories using other brands of equipment in a big way, or even a full set. Brands are powerless about this.
But behind the powerlessness, the players do have a higher voice in the current market. It's just that for ordinary amateur golfers and enthusiasts, it's a little confusing to follow up. You can't ask everyone to be like the Dragons and the muddy puddle teachers with all the equipment of the brand. In the early days, after Li Ning first joined the national table tennis team, there were still many players wearing Mizuno (with the logo removed) sneakers. Instead, the Dragons wore Li-Ning as always.
In the eyes of some players, Li-Ning's shoes may not be as comfortable as Mizuno/ASICS. In the eyes of other players, the bottom plate of the brand they signed with is indeed not as powerful as the butterfly. Just like another shemale shoot below.
Compared with the shemale shooting, I appreciate Zhang Yuzhen's use of W968 in the past few years, and does not change the handle. The backhand is resolutely using the V>15 Extra, after all, it is a Victas signing star, at least using the brand's equipment.
