[cooler]

that is some good work and record keeping kwun, thanks

[cooler]

i think yang yang uses yang yang and fung permedi uses fung permedi brands :)
I think ardi wiranata was using ti-6 when he was in the US. I'll check which forza he would be using now that he's sponsored by forza.

[Daniel Chen]

yang yang is retired.
Fung Permadi currently has a New Fung-2000 Ti.

[modious]

Obviously we know that Yang Yang has retired!

[Daniel Chen]

Taiwan:
Fung Permadi: Victor new Fung-2000 Ti.

[Byro-Nenium]

Zhang Wei uses at Ti-10

Also, if you look closely at Choong/Lee they uses a Ti-10 and Iso 800 respectively. Only that their rackets are painted with Gosen logos instead of Yonex logos.

[Daniel Chen]

oh yea.. i forgot.. now that sun jun and ge fei have retired, they use victor rackets.

[modious]

That's what I thought too!
I'm sure he was using the ISO 800!

[Ricky]

They probably use Gosen string then.

[Cheung]

ZW uses Iso800. I saw it newly strung at the Japan Open. I didn;t examine the raquet closely but other visuals from TV pics make me think he puts some white tape on it.

I noticed the same thing with the M'sians but recently??

[Jeff L]

Doesnt Yong Hock Kin of Malaysia use the AirBlade 1000? or his sig ti

[Cheung]

Minarti - Iso900

[shaun]

Shaun - Ti7

[kwun]

Shaun who? :)

[cooler]

dont u know? it's that shaun the "fake racket shop" killer :lol:

[Byro-Nenium]

I saw Zhang Wei using a Ti-10 when he was here in Singapore for the Asia Cup and in his finals match against Candra/Tony at the Sudirman Cup and yes, recently Choong/Lee were using their Gosen painted Yonex rackets at the WC against Kim/Ha

[kwun]

Zhang Jun used a Iso800 in both the AE semi and Sudirman semi that has a white tape on it. the tape runs along the racket head from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock. it was applied before stringing, and may be even below the grommets.

can't imagine, a 2U racket plus so much tape. no wonder ZJ smashes so hard.

[Brett]

I know that the MP 100 has a slightly smaller head, the Swing Power racquets have slightly more square heads, but if the racquet has been painted and some other brand's marks put on it, how can you tell which Yonex model it is? (i.e., can anyone tell it appart without asking the player or someone else who knows?)

[harry]

you're allowed to take a racket and put another brand name on it? on tv too?!

[kwun]

Liu Yong : Iso800
Cheng Jiao : Ti-7 (?)
Bambang Surprianto : Ti-10

[Byro-Nenium]

Hehehe, just look at him Kwun, he probably pumps iron everyday!
