Professional players and their racquets

[Dreamzz]

watching the AE, my impression is that xie zhongbo is using the purple ti10.

[Smichz]

I think I've seen a picture of Fu with a purple Ti-10; check for a picture from AE 2008.

Looks like it..but let's see whether he's gonna stick to it or not..

[issarakaya]

Taufik Hidayat is using Armortec900T and before that he use Armortec900P

[Dreamzz]

another clever marketing ploy by yonex??


or does he really prefer it?

that looks more like the old black/red/silver one to me.

Looking at CY's AT900T..i think it was taken not long ago.When CY's still playing with NS9000,FHF between NS8000 n Ti-10 yellow head.After CY's changed to AT900T,FHF were still using Ti-10 yellow,but he uses Ti-10 purple then..

I thought he used the at700 before that..

[Dreamzz]

yeah, he was using the at700 for a good 3-4 years, if not longer.
before that, i've seen him using the old ti-10, not too sure if he used any other racquets for a prolonged period of time.

TH's racket progression: AT700 -> AT900T -> AT900P -> AT900T (again)

In AE 2007, FHF still had some old stock of Old Ti-10, but switched in middle of the tournament. The only racquet Fu has ever been seen using I think is some form of Ti-10.

I never even seen him playing with AT900P...ANy pics?

[coolhandluke]

TH was using AT900P during 2007 HK Open and SEA Games. You can find the pics in the tournaments forum.

Wow, what a useful statistic.
