Hi, I have started to try out many of Li-Ning top models of rackets, and is trying to compile a list of who's using what, as there seems to be more and more sponsred players visible on the tour (not only team china).. There are some rackets I dont recognize that I think may not yet be available (at least outside china) for example the one Wang Yihan currently uses (WC win and JO win).. So please help me sort the player+racket puzzle out and correct me if I gotten some wrong.. MS: Lin Dan : N90 (strings NS95) Chen Jin: N55 (strings NS70?) Chen Long: N55 (strings NS70?)

Chai Biao most probably played with N50II, if he didnt change it from All England. String? no idea at all...
I'm pretty sure from the recent Chinese Open I saw Xu Chen & Ma Jin using the N55-II & N30 respectively.
Some members of this forum claim that Wang Yihan play with a UC2200A but I very much doubt so as her current racquet is red in color. Maybe she's using a prototype. See photo in the link below: http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/p/2011-09-14/18355745650.shtml
What does Chai Biao and Liu Xiaolong use as a racket now? Would be very interested in their racket models...
Ma Jin N50-III (Malaysia Open 2014) Qiu Zihan N90iii (Malaysia Open 2014) before he used N50ii Wang Xin (N36) Wang Yihan (N10), N50-III Wang Shixian (N20) Wang Xiao Li/(N50 1st gen) Li Xue rui (atm N50 II ), N50-III in WC13 Liu Xiao long (N70) Yu Yang (N55II) Zhang Nan (N55 III purple) back to n70? Tian Houwei N20 Xue Song N55 Wand Zhengming n90-III? Porntip Buranaprasertsuk n90 II at CM Markis Kido n90-II
