Posted on February 18, 2021

Lin Yun-Ju continues to move up the ratings list. Just three years ago, he was outside of the top 100, but the 21 year old is now firmly in the World’s Top 10. The Taiwanese player is a great combination of strength and quickness – and he has proven he can compete with the elite Chinese players. In the video below, its a battle of top Butterfly players with Lin Yun-Ju taking on Dimitrij Ovtcharov in the Round of 16 at the 2020 Grand Tour Finals.

Check out Lin Yun-Ju’s signature place is the newest Butterfly blade (the Lin Yun-Ju Super ZLC). He uses Dignics 05 on both sides.
