Seems that a lot of players is changing to ARCSABER 10.

[Qidong]

Look at Lee Yong Dae's racquet grip, sometimes it's yellow, and sometimes it's black. Look like he was switching racquets with his partners from time to time during practice.

[jhirata]

How is he supposed to hit the shuttle like this ?!

I have noticed a few of the Chinese players are using the same weight gain for the racket head as Lin Dan uses, with the athletic tape along the top of the racket.

I know chen jin used this at the French Open

and now this guy (sorry don't know the name) also has the same grip as lin dan

The frame is taped with white athletic tape too.. maybe he is using Lin Dan's racquet ?!

Btw.. Chen Hong must hit really hard.. the shaft is bending so much!!

Yeah I think it is. Hariawan came to exhibition games last year and Black Knight gave him a bunch of stuff.
He will also be attending this years exhibition games with Taufik

[xXazn_romeoXx]

maybe lin dan is just ex. strong ;):D:rolleyes::p

He is using the new Armotech 700, lin Dan uses the Old colour Armotech 700, but he could well have used it to train with :confused: but i doubt it :D
Nope, the new AT700 has a much brighter colour scheme than that.. and also the text on the shaft is yellow as pictured.. so it's definitely Lin Dan's racquet :eek:

oh, thanks for the clarification:)

[ctjcad]

..BLUE is the color theme here. If you guys notice the pics, starting from post #102, BLUE seems to be the dominant color. In fact, the organizer has purposely chosen BLUE as the background and surrounding color scheme..
Imagine, in the first 2 pics above, if our Wang "The Kitten" Yihan were to wear a pair of BLUE shoes...and hold a BLUE racket..:cool:
And in this interview video, Paisan Rangsikitpho also explained the reason behind selecting the color BLUE:
http://chinaopen2008.cba.org.cn/en/news/2008-11-19/222428.html

*I've gotta ask the rest of the photog-masters' opinions here (e.g. kwun, Cheung, red00ecstrat) about them using blue as the main backdrop. The pics seem to have a different feel/look...

He packs one of the most powerful flat drives in the game.

Erm... Li Xuerui was born in 1990. In this year WJC, she was 2nd seed but she lost to a japanese player in early round. I think that japanese player also quite good, because she able to make it into final to meet Saina. For last year WJC, she not only participated in WS, as well as WD and XD. In team event she parted with Chai Biao. For individual event, she participated in WD as well as WS. She never won any medals in WJC individual events. Hehe... Anyway, she is still junior, still using Kason, haha... 06 China Master we have WL, 06 World Cup we have WYH, would it be LXR in 08 China Open? haha... :D

Erm... Li Xuerui was born in 1990. In this year WJC, she was 2nd seed but she lost to a japanese player in early round. I think that japanese player also quite good, because she able to make it into final to meet Saina. For last year WJC, she not only participated in WS, as well as WD and XD. In team event she parted with Chai Biao. For individual event, she participated in WD as well as WS. She never won any medals in WJC individual events. Hehe... Anyway, she is still junior, still using Kason, haha... 06 China Master we have WL, 06 World Cup we have WYH, would it be LXR in 08 China Open? haha... :D


oh ya, forgot to add in, she won Asian Junior Champion this year in WS, if i'm not mistaken she beat Wang Shixian in final
Thanks. suetyan. :)

To my knowledge, he's 21 (born in 1987). Having grown up in the same family, I think I would know. :)

Age falsification? Or just someone made a mistake? Or am I already losing my memory?

hehe...now...ours player cousin spoke...no one should have question this...;)

actually, i've been told that arcsaber 10 is a head-heavy racket, unlike the other arcsabers...if it wasnt, players like taufik, gade, CJ, and LYD wouldnt have chosen it...

[Stein_r]

Professional players don't care about the rackets, if they are paid enough. ;-)

Thanks, suetyan. They are not my favorite lah... But I just feel that Chinese media likes LCW more than any other Malaysian players.

Yes they do. Or maybe because they view LCW as a threat to Chinese domination.

[suetyan]

Thanks, suetyan. They are not my favorite lah... But I just feel that Chinese media likes LCW more than any other Malaysian players.

I don't think it has anything to do with attitude. I remember I see photos of Markis/Hendra (World #1, World & Olympic Champions) only when they win the title. Sometimes, they only show the photos of the runners-up instead of the winners and u know where the runners-up come from. They only care about Chinese players. What a way to promote badminton to the world. :rolleyes::(:o:mad::eek::crying: Pathetic...

haha, because it is chinese website :D Maybe chinese think that Malaysia would have their own badminton website and there would be photos of Malaysian players in every tournament, haha..... :D Just like everyday I read newspaper, when I turn to the sport page, almost all news are about Malaysia badminton. Unless the topics of other countries are so hot only there is a small part of it would be published. Pictures as well, I seldom see Chinese players photos on newspaper :confused:

He's still young but has lately proved himself to be incapable of winning anything :o

Retirement means he gets a job and also gets paid.
Not retiring means he wins nothing and doesn't get paid.

[pjswift]

stupid question, maybe..
but why did chen yu get a prize

He had done his bit to help LD in his career and he retired (or is retired) because he's past his usefulness to LD.
So, yes, it's decent to give him due recognition.

That shirt is HK Open shirt. I think is 2006 HK Open, that shirt is nice, but I don't know is it available in market. Last time I bought a HK Open 2007 T-shirt in Singapore, with a dragon on it also, but not so nice as 2006 one. I also finding this shirt :D
Yes it is previous HK Open T-shirt, I got 2 of it (one of them is blue colour and exactly the same as LD's)... don't know if it would be available again in HK Open next week....

Chong Wei was a Nanospeed 9000 user before he changed to newer models.
Only a few MS players still use it... I can recall only Park Sung-Hwan, Kendrick Lee and Nguyen Tien-Minh.
