Blade: Yasaka Dynamax 17 cpen (an older, walnut topped version of the current Dynamix 17)
Front: 388D-1 OX
Back: H3
I think the distinctive feature of his play is the modest looking, small strokes he makes with the pips. But he does have a full-sized killer swing with the inverted.

On the Long Pip League top ten list, where Zhou Xintong is #1 and Wang Qiu Yi is #6, he is #4:

http://list.youku.com/albumlist/show?id ... g=1&page=1Carbonman posted generously about him:
"Apparently Gao used to coach the Chinese Army team. I also heard he coached Wang Hao at some stage.
He is 58 and uses Dawei LP OX and H3 and constantly twiddles. His use of the LP is extremely subtle and his placement superb. His blocking is exceptional. Basically he just made everyone (including me) look ridiculous. He is very nice. When he gave me a pity point in the third game I smiled and thanked him in Chinese. He then proceeded to give me a couple of baby pushes so I could tee off on some loops.
He has beaten Australian Olympian Chris Yan a number of times including at least one 4-0 win."
