Money matters more than material

. Any brand can create a good enough racquet. So you can assume his deal with Kumpoo is better than what others offered ...

there is a good list here on the Yonex site:
http://www.yonex.com/badminton/advis...aff/index.html

but it is interesting none of the China team players are on here (they used to be just a few months ago)... does anyone know if they have all switched to a different brand? the top players used to all use Yonex. Also, the korean players, Lee Yong Dae and others used to be listed on the Yonex site but no longer. Did they also switch? Is Yonex falling off? What are they using now?

The Chinese team is now sponsored by Li-Ning.

I definitely think this racquet was a great choice since before he was using an Arc 10

Other Indonesian player like the gold medalist men's single double pair, Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan , using the Arcsaber Z Slash too...
We see if they like it ....

That is in the just concluded Japan Open 2009. I think his main racket is still the ARC SABER 10

**alwayslolzzz** · 10-29-2009, 08:59 AM

**LoveeYouu** · 11-01-2009, 01:33 AM

Tan boon heong used the ti-10 2nd generation together with koo kien keat.

Not sure whether he use the 3rd generation or not before he switched to nanospeed 9900.

anyone have any idea about it?

**dani737** · 11-01-2009, 06:18 AM

yes they used 3rd gen be4 switching to nano9900

**alwayslolzzz** · 11-03-2009, 10:22 AM

when did they change? did tan boon heong change before the world championships?

During the French Open Taufik kept switching between Arc10 and ArcZ. In the final he started with the Arc10 and switched to the ArcZ when the match against Lin seemed almost lost. He threw his ArcZ into the audience after the match and I had the chance to have a glimpse at it. Here are the specs:
3U / G6 (didn't know that YY produces G6 - maybe custom-made for taufik?)
IN coded (no SP / no PBSI logo)
strung with BG-65
