The Ti-10 is still favoured by Kim DM and Yoo YS but most are going AT700/800 now. It does reflect the players somewhat, but if such an 'old' racquet still appeals to the two double specialists, then it must have something to do with the extreme leaning towards power in opposed to control to suit their baseline smashing game. But then again, they are good enough to use any racquet anyway.
