So he was a free-agent for just one tourney while re-negotiating?
Does that mean he wasn't allowed to use Yonex? Or was he using APACS as a bargaining tactic? If so, he could have driven a harder bargain if he had done a little better at that tourney.

Zhou Mi uses a Metallix 4000. I'm surprised at this, because it's not exactly top-of-the-line, is it...

Back to AT 700 again.

Is this a new model?

***Oldhand*** · 03-16-2009, 01:14 PM

It isn't new.
It's the current model

hey, can we get an update on who's using what these days? sorry about digging up an old thread, but i doubt that the pros are still using cab 20's, with all these new ATs and arcsabers out for the last few years.

Why?

I believe some still play with the Ti-10. Some rackets are just classics and were maybe released "before their time", the Cab 20 is still a great racket to this day and a perfectly legitimate racket for a professional player to use.

I think he's just refering to the front page, which is hopelessly outdated.

First saw Lee Chong Wei using the NanoSpeed 9900 in the All England 2009 and I think the first pro player to switch to it using in a tournament, but don't know whether he is still using BG66 for his strings.
