I read about this new brand Giant Dragon in the last issue of Table Tennis Illustrated magazine from ITTF. Have you guys heard of this brand? The ad was about their blade Giant Dragon Damascus.

The product is made by the Giant Dragon company from China.

Is this available in Malaysia or Singapore?

I have not seen any Giant Dragon product in Malaysia as yet. Not sure of Singapore.

The link is from China and the company is based in Guangdong province.

There are a lot of unname stuff from China. They come and go. For example, I am using a heavy, Chinese made PANAI (USA) rubber called Quick Spin.

How do they come to the US? Are they distributed or some friends bring it from China? I think unlike DHS, nothing has got a huge game.

My guess is that many brands has "mushroomed" from China but the established ones like DHS, Double Fish, 729 Friendship (and its off-shoot line LKT) are the popular ones. As recent as 5 years aga, new players in tt equipment market are Haifu, Palio, Globe etc.
There are others unknown manufacturers from China, some have got their products (rubbers) endorsed by ITTF, some are still flooding the market for recreational (non-competition) players.
