Brand new design ,lzw's T-shirt:D
I think this style will be very popular this year

I quite like these new designs. Especially the colour combinations worn by PG and LCW. Thank god Yonex did away with those garish designs usually worn by LCW

I need picture Nguyen Tien Minh (Viet Nam) in round 1, thank you!

YONEX outclass Li Ning

I wanna ask what is this new world record? Someone break the record created by Fu Hai Feng? Who did it?:eek:

I am posting my private photos. Taufik's new YY jersey at Round 1. Hope you guys enjoy!.

Great pictures of TH!!
Post more if you have :)

Chong Wei decided to use the racket last minute. Only have 2 Arc Z in his bag.

Wah, love the Yonex's new designed jersey (especially for TH one...)

Not forgetting to mention LCW and TH is wearing the new Yonex shoes, S?? 65 CF something? . How does they get away with the sleeveless/sleeve tshirt? Just can't bring myself to accept it. Might as well cut the other sleeve off. :(

The design of the new yonex t-shirt is nice but one side got sleeve and one side no sleeve is quite weird la.

Actually all 3 of them find it weird to wear this shirt. But good thing is that it is comfortable as the material is good. Slightly uncomfortable because one shoulder feel colder than the other.

So fans can differentiate a Yonex shirt from the rest?
The designer could not decide whether to show or hide the biceps, so give it half/half?
At least the designs more classy than the previous ones.

Maybe this shirt is designed so as not to hinder movement of arm... BUT, it reveals the hairy part of armpit -__-

Ah, maybe that temperature difference will help them stay focussed!

I checked the video clips http://www.yonex.co.jp/badminton/products/news/013-zslash/teaser.html.
They seemed to use a worn-out nylon shuttlecock. I don't think this is considered as an official record. I'm very curious how fast Fu Hai Feng can hit under the same conditoin......may be over 500km/h:confused:

Noticed that gold is the underlying colour in all three outfits. For a change Yonex has done something tasteful :D:D

I'm very curious how fast Fu Hai Feng can hit under the same conditoin......may be over 500km/h:confused:not really, the fastest speed occur right off the racket stringbed. So, fastest speed represent the fastest racket swing speed, not really determine by shuttlecock used

let me explain.
that 414 is done under control (lab) condition, where the camera is zeroed in right on the shuttle exit moment. As for fu's ~332 kph, it is done under field condition and the sensor likely not captured the actual fastest point of the shuttle.

i rather trust data from yonex's lab technicans than from some hokky radar mounted some distance from the court, with distortion due to angle, dust and other lighting noises.

don't blame everything on the plastic shuttle lah:p

good find on that link tho

Thanks for the link. I think taste is very individual. I usually hate Yonex apparel designs but this upgrade is much more contemporary.

And, oh, if the boss is reading this, sorry to say I disagree with you; I find the gold works for me. :o:D

Nice shirts and it is good to see a little competition between Yonex and Li Ning. The sleeveless/sleeve design is unusual indeed. I can see for right-handers to be sleeveless on their right arm and to show off their biceps :D. But what about left-handers? Do they have a reverse design so the player can show off the left biceps :confused:. Otherwise, it would really weird. Anyone spot such a picture yet?

Also, would the fans want to such a sleeveless/sleeve shirt outside? Maybe they will. I don't know but this is certainly interesting.

Thanks. Of course I have more...


Great pictures of TH!!
Post more if you have :)

as well as Reiko Shiota. Enjoy!.

picture of candra wijaya ?? thanks a lot

For Malaysian fans.

Any of Ha Jung Eun?

Maybe Yonex will decide to produce both side sleeved..
But one sided sleeved was fine..
The design looks awesome. I like all of them.. especially TH...

@yankiat
maybe they need to start thinking about get rid of their hairy part...^_^
just a suggestion...

like the colours, but the sleeveless and with sleeveless thing....? nah?.... :D

Lmao, they look like power rangers or smthing

the designs' sleeves or sleeveless thing kinda weird for me, but the color combination and the texture looks great....

Wah saw the sleeveless yonex pictures, yonex going to match Li ning team wear.. but is it going to be expensive as Li ning Sing $150...

Where is Lin Dan , never see his pictures , he not playing at Japan open ?:confused:

Of course he's not here in japan open.
He needs to 'recharge' his power:D:D

Now i expecting Lee chong wei to win this Japan open , since Lin dan not there,, he should have easier time against Bao chun lai , Chen Jin and Chen Long!

but with his current condition(knee injury), i guess its pretty hard though...

wow, that little girl resembles maria kristin yulianti..
is that MKY family?

I think one of the reasons the big guns are taking part in this JO is because Yonex is launching the new racquet and attire.

Peter Gade using wat model of racket??

Peter Gade using ArcSaber 10

Now i expecting Lee chong wei to win this Japan open , since Lin dan not there,, he should have easier time against Bao chun lai , Chen Jin and Chen Long!

He even lost to SS.... Too bad for LCW....

Sorry, boss! I'm actually okay with the design. But my only suggestion is to make the other sleeve 2 or 3 inches shorter to expose the arm muscle.

Btw, LCW looks good with the outfit!

Hi george@chongwei, I was at stadium only until 3pm after finishing LCW's match. He seemed to have pain on his knee or somewhere else. I can see after he did a powerful smash. Nevertheless, Simon played mature today. I do not see Nicole's match. Yesterday she was eating banana during interval but today I missed this scene. In my observation only Nicole and Russikh brought bananas into the stadium.
