Noa Fukuoka (福岡乃愛)

Blade: Darker Spline D2
FH: Tenergy 05 hard

Enjoy!

Watched it today too.
I think she plays with both inverted rubbers, but not sure

I think I have seen her before in videos from some competition. Inverted on BH for sure. And it looks like inverted on FH as well, not sure. Really cool style.

According to a poster on another forum:

that is Noa Fukuoka. She's a double inverted chopper. She uses Darker Spline N2, Tenergy 05 and Rasanter R42.

If someone can confirm the name, I will update the title and equipment

Holy mackerel!

She is incredible!!!!!

Yeah, her control is unbelievable, especially knowing that she plays tenergy / tenergy hard -- both fast offensive rubbers, even in thinner thickness.

Her blade (D2) seems to be discontinued.

Any idea if the Rasanter is on the FH or BH?

Very controlled chopping and punch above the table.. good combo..

Enjoy the game. It is a never ending learning experience once you play and keep the ball on that 45 sq ft of space or should I say half of that space.

I posted this without reading the comment above. I tend to believe her father than some random guy on the web. If he says she's using T05H/T05 ... so that's what I put as her equipment. She probably used to play with Rasanter at some point, and if so -- R42 was very likely her BH rubber.

Her name is 福岡乃愛

With her name in Kana if you search you can find more matches.

Very interesting and unique style. Starts always chopping and then attacks a lot from her backhand side thanks to the inverted rubber.
Also the variation she manages to get with her backhand is really interesting, Kenta had hard times with it

In the comments section of the YT video, someone mentioned she updated her equipment to:

Blade: DIODE V
FH: Dignics 05 (2.1mm)
BH: Tenergy 19(1.9mm)

No idea if it's accurate or not.

Aha.. someone actually using the new Tenergy 19.

Apparently she doesn't have an International rating yet, she was born in 2002 and would be 19 this year. She played in 2019 (in a Junior tournament - she would have been 16 or 17 then) but nothing after that (probably due to COVID). She's got a really good backhand block/hit which she uses often (if you loop to her backhand, she's as likely to attack it rather than chop), and she's got a quasi-strawberry which she often uses instead of a backhand push.

Who is she playing against (the guy who posted the video)? Looks like his name is Kenta, he doesn't look like Matsudaira Kenta (who would be totally out of her league, I think).
