Butterfly is paying a lot to Franziska and Fan Zhendong with their own professional paddles. As well as Ortcharov too. So other stars have to stay goodbye. The Lebrun brothers are on the rise and their names would be attractive to other brands like Tibhar, who didn't really have anyone famous other than Samsonov. This is actually great news for Table Tennis because you don't want the PRC to dominate everything, just as you don't want the monopoly of Butterfly as the huge Number 1 brand, plus the astronomical price to match. $400 USD for a top blade and $100 USD for a piece of top rubber? No thanks.
@@solideomusical you can stay stunned as amateurs don't need a pro blade or pro rubbers. Intermediate players can play just fine with a Butterfly petr korbel or A.Mazunov blade with Butterfly Rozena or Roundell rubbers if tenergy is too steep.
@@solideomusical That's because Amateur players spend so much money on equipment thinking it'll make them better players, you can save money by putting rozena on both sides of a butterfly A.Mazunov blade and if you actually dedicated more time to practice and learning how to properly rotate and transfer weight using that to accelerate sharply onto the ball you'd become a much better player. The Butterfly A.Mazunov is a great 5 ply blade that doesn't lack speed and is really fast for an all-wood blade but whilst maintaining the spinny characteristics of 5 plys. Pro players have switched to 7 ply carbon blades for the new ball but they hinder development for amateur players who need to learn how to generate power with their body a whilst developing consistency and control which is what the A.Mazunov is really good for these days. Instead they spend money on Tenergy 05 and Timo Boll ALCs thinking that equipment will make them better players when it won't.
To play as a pro for a living you have to take the deals that make the most sense for your situation. The Lebrun brothers are fun to watch. Of course Calderano is also fun to watch. Thanks for posting this video.
There are two possible ways: 1. They continue using butterfly with custom handles. 2. They use tibhar equipment but with a change in performance. Time Will tell
Table tennis technology it’s not some trade secret technology especially the blade. I believe if they want to custom made, they can recreate each other’s paddle easily.
They are currently using hybrid k3 and their personal blades developed with tibhar and their own blade series developed together with TIBHAR, we should get more informations soon about those blades
Great news. Tibhar has great products too. Butterfly with it's immense resources has squeezed out the competition by sponsorship of every top player's needs and passing it's sky high prices on to consumers.. 🤔..
@@canicetang8837 Butterfly, Nittaku, Victas, Yasaka, Stiga etc.... All these brands have their top Rubbers made in Germany. The lower priced and least known ones are self made. Except for Tenergy and Dignics, which are astronomically priced and highly saleable,.. thus a grave risk to pass the formulas to the Germans. Trade secrets.! Most other brands in comparison are top value for money, at a fraction of Butterfly's price. Near similar performance for a far lesser price,.. eg. Nittaku. and much more durable.
@@stevenlee9619 I used Nittakau FastArc G-1 forever as my forehand rubber. It is fast, consistent, durable and reasonable in price. With the harder ball, I might have to up the harder rubber for my new rubber as well. I would never touched Butterfly due to price point and deteriorating quality for durability. Unless players are sponsored, then to play for serious and fun. They really should determine the cost as well.
@@canicetang8837 Fast Arc G1, C1 and S1 are all great choices. Have tried them all, good performances and decent prices. Tenergy n Dignics at more than double the prices are for many a prestige purchase, more for bragging rights. Except for a select minority of top players, most can't even express themselves in real play nor in words, the uniqueness of their Rubbers. As a reviewer of Yi he's blades once commented, the price is ridiculous low, that he had a hard time explaining why it's such awesome blades. Price and performance wise, they punched well above their weight. A case of some purchasers of Viscarias and Dignics having more money than sense.
@@stevenlee9619 You are exactly right. Hardly any of the players in my club can afford Butterfly equipment but they are still very good. You need the basics down first before the better blade/rubbers combination can give you just a little bit better in performance.
Я думаю что с Dynamic JC Darko Jorgic, так как Йоргич тоже раньше играл тимо боллом алс но потом когда тибхар начали его спонсировать он начал играть с Dynamic JC

How to get brand sponsorship? How the tie ups work? Any guide or information I can get?
Well, you have to be really good first before the table tennis companies even noticed you.
Competitors may give them more money for advertising
А Какой доской будет играть?

@@wrench8610 Полагаю под него будет с его именем.А то как- то не то.....
This video is too late, Tibhar already announced that the "Lebrun Brothers" will sign with Tibhar, and the announcement alr 2 days ago
2 days ago is still recent enough, not everyone follows all the TT brands that closely
Loosers they not wants play with Tomasu Butterfly.
Can you afford the price? Or are you a top ranked player being sponsored?
