alot of the professional players are switching over to victor now, this is good though for sure nice to be able to see some more variaty out there on court now.

When's SOTX gonna sponsor a team!?

yonex grip is loosening it seem.

Yones is losing another Big market.....

Wow! Yonex is yet again losing sponsorship to another big country in badminton.

Nice. Victor seems to have been waiting in the wings for a while now, and it's definitely great to see it finally get some prime time action. Hopefully, they won't raise their prices too much. I'm very curious to see which racket LYD will use.

China and Korea also gonna change their sponsor soon :D

China and Korea also gonna change their sponsor soon :D

uh, yeah. we already know about Korea. However, Li-ning could make some fast strides...

wow, now china and korea had already changed their sponsors:D
i think mas team no need to change..
YONEX FOREVER..haha

well, i cant imagine korea team being sponsored by victor:p

Is now officially Victor

Inside news from my friend, a victor dealer in Macau.

What are peoples views and opinion?

Heard they will probably use Brave Sword 08, 09 or Explorer 68

Explorer 68

Never heard about that racket but sounds like an old car name to me :confused:.

I have two friends sponsored by Victor and I can tell you I'm very impressed by their quality recently (especially clothes style), but I guess I'll stay with Yonex :cool:

explorer68 is used by lee wan wah of malaysia

HI, Everyone
Just answer the question for sponsorship of the Korea National Team. Yes, Victor will sponsor Korea National Team from 2009-2013 and Victor Champion #1 the (Green) Will be the official shuttlecocks used in Korea Tournaments. The New Korea Team Shirt will be Yellow for now. We might get few sign shirts for raffle in Victor 2009 Racket Supply Tournament hosted in San Jose State University.

I don't know why in Korea, sometimes they write Victec instead of Victor.
You can see in this online shopping shop: http://www.badmintonmart.com/product/?md=View&SR=104&L=&Cid=116&Pid=8375
Do anyone know the reason why??

VICTEC = VICtor TEChnology? lol....... not sure. found something similar doing a search. :p

"bravesword"........... what a name for a racket. i wonder wat Lee Yong Dae will use. he just recently changed to arc10 after Olympics and doing quite well. :)

There are some photos of the Korean players with their Victor equipment in this link eg. LYD with his brave sword09 and Lee with her Explorer68:

Well it seems like its no longer a Yonex market anymore :) There's going to be more competition between Yonex and other major competitors. Great to see more potential fights!!

I think this is good. More sponsorship in the market also means that badminton is becoming more recognised. Since Yonex is not the only one calling the shots, the players may be able to fetch even better sponsorship deals.

Due to registered trade mark issue, Victor has to use
"Victec" in Korea. But the do have the Logo rights in Korea.

But it is still strange with me. Some rackets have both words Victor and Victec, an example here: http://www.badmintonmart.com/product/?md=View&SR=104&L=&Cid=116&Pid=8375

Hi Mollaio:

If you look at the listing of the racket "Brave Sword 08", you can see that even though the picture shows "Victec," the item is listed under the brand "Victor"
Hope this helps.

Racket Supply

Hi Racketsupply
If you see carefully, at the shaft cone, there is "Victec" ^-^ but the symbol on the racket as well as what they write on the attaching paper are Victor symbol and Victor word.
Anyway, there is something confusing in the brand name here.

Looks like Yonex's grip on the badminton market is starting to slip a little (pun intended) :D

Korea is now sponsor by Victor... can they still use Yonex rackets? cos i saw the AE qter final one of the mix double is using Arc 10 and the other is Arc 7 if i did't see wrongly:):)

Yes, I saw him using Arc 10.

i went to all england on the 5th of March and spoke 2 one of the peoples of Victor. they confirmed me that victor is sponsering the korea team that true but they are only sponsering for their clothing ranges. individual players still got their own choice of rackets and accessories range like yonex or head which ever they are individually sponsored by : )

only clothing?!! is it official?

So Yong Dae will use which racket afterward:confused:

Whose Korean player is sponsored by Head?

I found a photo of LYD holding a Victor Brave Sword 09 ^^

Im guessing hes going to be using that! haha

to be honest when i spoke to the victor officials all they told me is that they are sponsoring the clothing range to the whole of Korean team and in the same time they have also signed up some of the Korean players as their personal sponsor to their accessories used in badminton such as rackets, shoes, bags etc. the officials also told me that they are trying to sign up more players too as their personal sponsor. but some of the players are happy to be useing yonex so they are still with yonex but being signed with the korean team they have to wear Victor clothing range.

woah thats good... i will choose yonex too if i were them... cos is more value for money... and since is sponsor... u not worry abt breaking a arc 10 or at700 :):) and some still stick to yonex means that yonex still hav its selling point... and can suit their needs...:D whos knows after the contract ends with victor... they might back to yonex again:)

I've been watching the Asian Badminton Championships the last couple of days and every Korean player I've seen so far is now using Victor racquets, inluding LYD.

both lee yong dae and lee hyo hung played with the brave sword 09.

lee kyung won's weapon is the explorer 88

Yong Dae is using Sword 09 while Lee HJ is using explorer 88

not sure about Lee KW's racket

i believe LHJ switched from explorer88 to bs09 during semi-finals/finals of the Happy Suwon Asian Championships

anyone knows what racket is LKW using?
seems not like a victor racket to me.

Spotted on tv that Park and the lovely Hwang played with the Superwaves 36 during the Sudirman Cup and JJ Sung used the Superwaves 35.

she played with the victor explorer88 during the sudirman cup

Its great to see Victor coming up after lying dormant and within the Yonex market for such a long time now. I'm also a fan of victor shoes but never the shuttles cause they dun seem to fly when i hit them for some reason. It's probably cause i'm too weak or it's just me or the weather or something. Not sure. Victor's gonna be a powerhouse of badminton sponsors now since they are getting so huge.

Li-Ning's another one coming up in the badminton market sponsoring the China Badminton team.

This show's that Yonex is losing leadership over the product. Maybe cause they took for granted that they would always be on top and all? Not sure. Does this mean Yonex will be lowering their racket prices by even a bit now? xD... Li-Ning's rackets are just outrageously expensive although that N90 looks great and i suppose performs well? lolz.

Lets see who will sponsor Malaysia/Indonesia in the near future. If yonex loses them too. Then i suppose its BYE BYE YONEX? xD

I'd be most glad to pick up a dozen 3UG4 Cab30 in a garage sale :D:D:D.

Totally agreed.. If Yonex loses its market share/leadership and all. It's only a matter of time before the other nations get sponsored by other upcoming companies as well. =D

is the bravesword 09 meant to be like the at900t not only in looks but in performance balance etc??

ahHH~~~ im looking forward for the SuperWaves 36!!

those shw 8000's look uncannily like the shb 100's/101's. even the soles.

is the bravesword 09 meant to be like the at900t not only in looks but in performance balance etc??

I don't believe so. The AT900T is stiffer and head heavier. More power people say.
