Hi @adambobrow (out dear commentator), I am pretty sure that Hashimoto and Sato are both playing with the same blade and rubbers. No short pips here, they are playing with the Nittaku Do Knuckle, with is a half long pips (but very long for a half long pips...) perfect for défensive play AND aggresive play. But maybe I am mistaking...
Красивая игра обеих пар, но японские девушки вообще на высоте!
