on bh she seems to be using BTY Challenger Attack, here is a link where you can see her bh rubber: http://master-tour.pro/players/women/po ... ilova.html
for the blade she seems to be changing often, i found some pics online where she was using a TSP Award blade (allround or defensive), a Stiga, a BTY, this site http://zvezdnij.ru/people.php?id=5 says she's using a Jun Mizutani blade. in this picture here http://ria.ru/sport/20151004/1296498693.html the handle seems to be a BTY Viscaria

Thanks!
She seems to be using the same blade in the first and last of those links. The last link had two pictures, only one was Polians bat.

Looks Like Chalenger but must be Chop not attack...

Looks like a FIber Blade with that tag. Maybe a Retriver(Arylate def blade rigth?)?

is challenger chop still produced? i thoughed it was discontinued.
the retriever has red in the handle. in the pics you can see two white stripes and a blue one between the two, also there is a blue stripe in the dark handle lens, similar to viscaria.

I think also Irene Ivancan uses that rubber. I guess the are still produced for a few but not for sale.

Just lost against Fukuhara in the 7th set
At the slovenien open.... She was 10:8
ahead. Sometimes rushing to much into
the points with only little concentration phase
e.g before own service or in between the
points

Defense Blade with pimples on one side ...

I just watched it. She is getting better and better but still has problems closing sets. And I agree she should slow down and focus a little more. But the first sets - my god she played good. And the point that got her to 10-8 in 7th... She hit the ball soooo hard it almost looked like Ai was hit by a bullet when the ball hit her. Too bad she couldn't keep the focus and win, she really deserves such a victory I think.

As for Polina's equipment, in her interview to butterflymag a month ago she said about FH: Tenergy 64 1.9 , BH: Challenger Attack 1.7 and not a single word about a blade. Here is the link in Russian http://ru.butterflymag.com/2016/05/ever ... -possible/
So the blade isn't from Butterfly (otherwise it would be mentioned). Now let's take a look on the first photo from manofan's post dated October,2 2015 from this thread. I can clearly see 2 red plies and 7ply structure of her blade. Handle coloring under grip tape is most similar to Clipper. So my bet is Stiga Clipper.
Also I found her interview from 2010 and she said that she played with FH: Tenergy 05 1.7 BH Challenger Attack 1.7 Blade Matsushita Pro. Here is the link in Russian http://def.kondopoga.ru/2010/10/06/poli ... orovo.html

You are amazing!

Great battle between the choppers here!

Anyone know what Polina's equipment is at long last!? Here backhand smashes are lethal! Even a bit away from the table she is sending those balls rocketing back with the short pips. She is probably the most 'modern' defender of the current crop. Most of her points are won by attacking shots... and dare I say, she even attacks TOO much for her own good?

In the current UTT tourney, she has 106 offensive shot wins and only 63 points won by defensive shots. That woman is a rabid attacker! Any chance she gets, forehand or backhand, she will try to drill a hole through her opponent. Some diehards would scarcely call her a defender at all.
