OOAK Table Tennis Forum

I contacted Mr. Takizawa (Donic Japan) again to inform him about how things are with Shiono and if he changed equipment with the release of Donic Spike. Here's his answer:

Hello,
Thank you for your mail.
Yes, we are fine and hope you and your members are still fine.

Now Shiono release his own DVD from Japanese TT magazine.

This DVD is all about him.

About SPIKE rubber, completely we developed for Wang Xi and Shiono.
He is using it from 2 month ago and still using for tournament.
After release, please check this rubber

Thank you and Best regards,


Looking forward to see that validated in a video...

Thanks Pipsy as always.
About the rubber i think he probably uses it, japanese are serious about those things and we already saw he's not one afraid of changing and adapting
I'm more interested in the DVD than the rubber: is that only in japanese or are there english subtitles? Or maybe do they plan to make one with them? I'd love to have it but i couldn't understand a word in japanese (maybe just something like "cuttomanno" or "backando" )

Pipsy,

Thanks for providing us with this interview. Even though most of Shiono's comments were familiar, from our interview, it was great to see and hear him speaking.

Wow, I missed this before, thank you Pipsy

He is most likely using the Spike P2, which has a very soft sponge like the Curl P-4
