Does anyone know?

It has a logo like Slazenger on the strings but it is definitely not Slazenger.
Her bag had a name ending in --king on it. When she was walking away after winning the singles match, I think I saw that the first letter is L but I might be wrong. L--king?

Can't find anything like that on the web

Wang Chen is sponsored by Li Ning ...... the official sponsor for China Open 2008 SS

Wow..
Did you see SDK use APACS not Yonex as he used to be..
I saw natsir/widi use arcihilis or something, but it looks like only at900t with arcihilis stencil..
Others remain used the same..

Yes SDK used Apacs. From what I heard he used Nanotec 900 (new).

Natsir/widi still use yonex, but on the string it appears Flypower.

wow, seems like the fuzzy pair changed to arc saber 10 racket too

**Licin** · 12-22-2008, 08:21 PM

@Vodude

I wanna aks him which one is better Nanotec 900(NEw) or his AT900P .....
hahahahahah

just temporary my friend

i cant imagine Indonesian no 1 player using other brands

It's strange... but the ArcSaber 10 was the biggest loser at the Super Series Finals.

Taufik Hidayat, Peter Gade, Jung Jae-Sung, Lee Yong-Dae, Fairuzizuan, Zakry - it seems every player who wielded the ArcSaber 10 was shown the door

Arc-10 vs. AT700, AT900P has pretty bad stats :-)

That's a clever post

Likewise, the AT-900P has had a sorry run against the (old) AT-700 in recent months

and finally, TI-10 rules the day

So can we conclude the AT-700 has pretty good stats :-)

in the yonex website it said LCW is using AT900p,BAO using arcsaber 10,gade is using arcsaber 10 too.i dont know about now

That's very strange

He probably used Apacs while PBSI was working out a sponsership deal with Yonex then. That being said, his "one tournament stand" probably helped Apacs get a better reputation.
