It looks like Yuto Muramatsu was using a different blade in the match vs. Patrick Baum. Here are some pictures: https://filstalexpress.de/fotoatelier/62599/

Does anyone know which blade it is? At the website of the german league is written that Muramatsu is playing a Jun Mizutani Super ZLC: http://ttbl.de/ttbl-spielerportrait/yuto-muramatsu

hm... i have searched 400-500 blades and couldnt find with the same handle
before he used VKMO

about pips... he used tsp super spinpips chop 2 with 1.0mm
on that pic we see he is using spectol (vertical aligned pips and the same bottom brand label)

can someone confirm? or maybe it's out of date pics

Thank you for the informations. In another forum someone told me that the blade looks like one of the Nittaku Goriki.

I looked closely at these new pics and honestly I am pretty sure he’s just using JSH. You can see the hologram on his handle when he hits w/ FH side... I am guessing butterfly silver plate is covered with tape due to sponsorship commitments.

also, just to prove that this is not a wild guess, go back to page 27, my post dated April 2017. There he was toying with the JSH blade in training...now months later he’s using it in games. Kinda makes sense.

The blade really looks like a Nittaku Goriki

Actually it kinda does... I was thinking it was just worn stained handle of JSH but yeah the red stripes make sense now.

there are 3 versions of goriki, the one he uses looks the darker one.

Actually there are 4 versions:
. Nittaku Goriki
. Nittaku Goriki Super Drive
. Nittaku Goriki Danshi
. Nittaku Goriki Super Cut

I bet he plays with the Goriki Super Cut.

I got to test the Danshi (not a def blade). It was flexible, super heavy and really head heavy.
Looks like Spectol and not SSPC2 on his blade (topsheet) but the sponge is almost white so maybe Spectol Speed or Spectol with SSPC2's sponge.

D'you think he changed to Spectol because SSPC2 is so grippy?

Garbol mentioned Spectol.... I really don't know.
But SSPC2 has horizontal pips so Spectol makes sense and yes, probably because of the grip of SSPC2.
Spectol with thick sponges (especially with the black topsheet) can be quite grippy total without being as sensitive to incoming spin as SSPC2.

That blade alone is at least 105g... it must be a seriously heavy paddle but Yuto seems to play better lately so it must work well for him.

Well, damn, Yuto seems to be playing much better now
