My whole set-up costs less than a sheet of Butterfly Dignics

There is an Indian female player called Agarwal who is in their squad but I don't think she has played yet. According to the Indian Table Tennis Federation she uses TT Master Insider (on her backhand side) although when I watched her play last week it looked like it was very slow and inverted rubber on her backhand - possibly anti spin of some type.

Joanna Parker from England plays a chop and defence game but I don't know what she uses. Would be interested to know myself if there are any short pip players playing.

I believe parker plays with one of the feint rubbers, probably Feint II. She also plays on a matsushita pro.

I've seen Agarwal listed as playing Phantom 0012 also.
