Racket of Reiko Shiota

[lkkwong]

Anyone know which racket that Reiko Shiota is using? She seems changed her MP100.

[Dreamzz]

i haven't see a video or picture of her playing recently, so if you have one, show us and we'll be able to tell.

[angelus]

i think she's using the new AT900 power now.

or at least i think that's what i saw her use in the philippine open.
i'm not sure. hope someone can confirm this with a pic or video.

[lkkwong]

Anyone can tell from this picture, it is a little blur though.

[Pete LSD]

She is holding the AT-800 OFF.

[LazyBuddy]

She is holding the AT-800 OFF.

No way, I think I saw some red colors... More like AT900 P or T? :rolleyes:

Probably the AT900 P since the shaft needs to be white for it to be the T.

[Niiro13]

Who's who? =/

The left is AT900 P. Right looks like AT800 only with black at the bottom.

[Athelete1234]

Left racquet- Either old AT700 or AT900P. Probably AT900P
Right- AT800De

[LazyBuddy]

Probably the AT900 P since the shaft needs to be white for it to be the T.

I agree. The bottom half of the head needs to be white too, if it's T. ;)

[Dreamzz]

yup, it looks like the at900p.
maybe ants can confirm it for us.

[Sealman]

I took this photo during the SO 2007. Reiko is using the AT900P.

[tjl_vanguard]

ohhhhh......yea.... oops... i wast lookin at the racquet... was admiring reikoooooo...... :D :D :D :D :D

[ants]

Yes, Reiko is using AT900 P 3UG4. Ogura is still using AT800 De , but she is currently using alot of AT900T when practicing. You might see her use AT900Technique in tournament during the World Championship in KL.

[lkkwong]

Thanks ants, you are so details. Beside, do you know which string she is using?

[ants]

BG66Sharp and sometimes NanoGy95. The tension that she uses is roughly around 29 to 31lbs. Based on my touch and the sound when i was holding her racket.

[Niiro13]

Oh, so that's Reiko...she's pretty.

Wow, you're really good at taking photos, unless you're a pro. That looks pro quality =).

[ants]

Now Reiko have changed from At900P to AT900T

[Dreamzz]

i wish she would stick to 1 racquet so i know which to buy!

:)

[ants]

Hehe.. she is sticking to At900 Technique.

[Dreamzz]

Hehe.. she is sticking to At900 Technique.

are you positive about this?
if i buy one and she changes (within the next 3 months, say), i'll claim back the cost of a new racquet from you!
:D

[roller]

She played very well with her previous racket mp100. wonder if its was 2u or 3u.

Her old Mp100 is a 3U. that is one of her fav racket.

:D

Well the warranty is valid for at least 3 months. heheh.. anyway you do not need to buy the same racket as her. Its how you feel about the racket matters not the player.

[Oldhand]

Reiko is using the AT900P.

Who cares what racquet? :rolleyes:
Um, you have any pics without the racquet? :p

[Winnie Lim1314]

haha...my racket is same as Ogura Kumiko...happy..

[samuel882]

[Dreamzz]

yes yes, of course i know that's true.
it just makes me feel slightly happier knowing i have the same racquet as her.
:D

now, time to find a place to recycle my mp100s.

[ants]

No need to recycle.. just give it to someone.

[ctjcad]

No need to recycle.. just give it to someone.
..*our Panda's footsteps coming in fast*...:cool:

[lkkwong]

I bought a AT900 Power when I knowing that she is using the racket.:cool:

[Winnie Lim1314]

Wow:eek: ! Proud of you..:) Hopes you be the next Wong Mew Chooo ;)

[ants]

Wah.. u guys really buy the same racket as Reiko.. since now she changed to AT900 T.. are you guys going to change also?

[Dreamzz]

ah, you see, that's yonex's strategy at work.
they make players change their racquets periodically so that the rest of us who idolise them have to buy new racquets as well.
a cunning plan!

[ants]

This strategy not only applies for Yonex.. many companies does the same thing also. :)

[Dreamzz]

yeah, but i'm less interested in other sports/products, so my main focus is badminton (rei-chan) and hence yonex (rei-chan).
:)

[wilfredlgf]

Admit it, none of youse are really interested in her racquet.

[samuel882]

It is normal to follow the trend of your favorite players...

[z3048018]

[wilfredlgf]

It is normal to follow the trend of your favorite players...
I must say Yang Yang's Cab 8 is pretty hard to get nowadays for me...

[Dreamzz]

Admit it, none of youse are really interested in her racquet.


how dare you!

i mean, even though it's ultimately true .... uummmm .... how dare you!

:p

[samuel882]

It will be tough to find a Mara Sharapova & Kuznekova in Badminton.. Here they are...;)

[Oldhand]

Admit it, none of youse are really interested in her racquet.
