I thought Japan has excellent designers in advertisement... Yonex shouldn't made a bad quality advertisement for a 5-star tournament (if I am not mis-taken)

Why they must change the ad? Taufik is the most talented player at the moment, we must admit it, even that recently his perform is decent. He is attractive, and also make badminton world has changed with his controversial sometimes. I think Japan use his pic as their ad because Taufik is more popular in Japan than Lin Dan or LCW...

After Taufik walk out of HK open and R16 lost in WC 2006, they should change the poster.

If they did not want to used last year winner as poster, maybe they should use their own MS player. Shato Soji.

1. He win against Taufik in Thomas Cup this year.
2. He also reach R16, thesame round as Taufik in this WC
Not bad achievement. :)

who cares. I'm not the sponsor, I haven't spent one cent on the design. The decision maker made decision for his/her purpose. Who cares. Winning Japan open title is more important than having an image on the ads.

It would be awful to put this picture. Not even a racket or shuttle near it. And people that doesn't knows about badminton wouldn't know who is that and they wouldn't even relate it to badminton

That would be better, and it is better if you put more players in front of the ad, than just one guy in front. And preferably those in different events. My 2 cents though.

Taufik has a charisma that will make pople come to the stadium.

For example the Philippine open 2006. The poste show Taufif Photo even tough TH is not playing there

I absolutely agree. When you're advertising a sport dominated by men, *** sells. Wonder what those people were thinking...

In the recently concluded MVP Cup, it was very clear that Taufik is the most popular badminton player in the Philippines. He was literally mobbed by fans after each game day - asking for his autograph or to have their picture taken with him. Although other players like LD & ZN also endeared themselves to the crowd, TH is without a doubtthe most popular.

Because of his popularity, from a business point of view, TH is the best endorser of badminton.

And lol at the pics of LD, he always makes the most interesting photographs :D.

And the ad is poor indeed. TH is cool but he's about the only cool thing about the ad >_>. Next time I should offer to help them with their advertisement!
