Victor fans club

interesting... so stiff is on the left and flex is on the right? kinda reversed?

 

which babolat series use Zylon?

 

The older Satellite Nitro (2007 model) used Zylon mesh.

Do a search on the forum for "Zylon" and you should get some post that talks about it.

I think Babolat initially used Zylon in their tennis racquet and later this filtered down to the badminton line.

 

And there's the Shiden from Gosen that uses Zylon.

 

So this 8 PS is the one orangiiieeee racket which looks like MX JJS? Btw still waiting for black/white/light green color racket which used by LYD last time, anyone here has news about that?

 

Light green to match the LYD new shoes

 

Hey guys : I heard korea team is still using Yonex strings , i wonder is it true ?

 

Could the light green/black/white racket be a 3rd gen LYD?

 

they are using victor string. Who told you that?

 

I wouldn't take this poster seriously, he said the same about Li-ning athletes.

 

Yah, he's kinda weird these days, posting weird posts around famous brands thread. He's always in topic last time, but not for now.
*sorry for being off-topic

 

I suppose they have to use what is available to them if they need restringing at a tournament and they don't have their own strings.

 

It's totally untrue. I talked to their stringer at All Englands.

For big tournaments Korean team takes along their own stringer so there is no way this situation would happen.

Yeah, but there are players that travel to smaller tournaments and then they may need to go with whatever's available. Happened at both the Australian and US Open, I think, and the Chinese do the same. Still, one shouldn't read anything into it - sending a stringer (with his machine and all his equipment) to a small tournament was probably just more expensive than just letting the team get their rackets strung locally.

 

I went for a stringing job at Yonex German Open. I talked to Han, as I want to pick my SW35, who did the stringing jobs for the koreans this day because the capacity of the YY stringer near the courts was too small. The koreans needed the rackets fast. He told me that some players have their own reels which they carry with the rackets, others who are not YY sponsored player choose sometimes the YY strings which are available. Sponsored players of the same brand which carry the event get the jobs free, others must pay the same rates like customers for the jobs.

 

I've done a few tennis tournaments, and those players almost always had a reel in their bag. No reason not to, really - they don't take up much space, and you'll never be caught short if you bring one.

 

Not sure if anyone's interested but Central Sports in the UK have the newer BSLYD http://www.centralsports.co.uk/products/victor-brave-sword-lyd-2013-badminton-racket

 

yes, it's been available for some time. Any retailer can get it.
