    But during the Indonesian open vs taufik.. he was not using AT700... in fact Taufik is using AT700. I think he is still using Cab20. Or maybe he interchange his racket... Hmmm...

    I checked on badmintonphoto.com. Definately looks like Ti10 to me. Can't see his racquet from the pictures of the world champs. I wonder if he was using AT700 and then decided to give up using it.

    I think, the only tournament he was using the AT-700 was the Japan Open and then he switched back to Ti-10. Seems like Yonex is paying a nice extra, if pros are willing to play with the newest rackets, which yonex normally releases at the Japan Open. Ha and Yoo also played with AT-700 in that tournament and then switched back to Iso-800 and Cab-20.

    That reminds me, I did notice Huang Sui using MP99 at the Japan Open in 2002 (?). After that she switched back to Ti10.

    Olli, sounds like you are right - Japan open is used as a presentation for the new racquets models and then pros are free to continue using the model or go back to their preference.
