Probably

a) Because your chinese friends don't have much of a clue (there are stiff high-end Victor rackets).
b) Victor gave him a sweet deal, much like Yonex gave Peter Gade a sweet deal.

Could it be the new Superwaves 32?

I agree. The Powerwave 12 suggested by awatz looks a bit orange to me.

BTW I think Victor will bring out a "Chen Hong" named racket soon. After just two weeks after signing it is a bit early yet though.

Could it be the new Victor that Chen Hong is using is really NS8000 resprayed?

how do you know they are his?:)

I have to semi agree with dreamzz to be honest, why would he have any NS8K at all if he wasn't using them?

But then again why would he Train with NS8K only to use Victor rackets in match? it doesn't make sense to me.

someone may be lending CH ns8ks to train with before he uses the victor ones in the tournament!

Maybe he is just afraid of breaking his ne superwaves, and uses his old NS8000 when playing doubles with people he doesn't know during training :D :D

My guess would be the pics where "released" to show he is replacing his Yonex with Victor Rackets (marketing reasons)..

Theat he would use NS8000 for training an SW32 for matches doesnt make any sense at all..(if it wasn't that he hadn't yet received enough of the new rackets, or they where not strung correctly or something like that...)

where did those pics came from anyway

if those are spyshots it could mean that CH heard victor sent agents to check on him so he got someone to hide his beloved NS8000 :rolleyes:

hmmm.. too many speculations.. anyway, i don't care at all.. if keeps winning on victor rackets, then it would still be fine with me... :D i don't really care about what racket he uses anymore, to win with a NS 8000 and a Victor superwaves 32 just proves that there's only a small thing with what instruments you're using... it really depends on the skill of the player..:)
