Wrong. Some tournament stringers who strung Taufik's racquets starting around WC2011 has confirmed that it is really the regular Z Slash TH that we all can buy from the stores. This is old news and had been intensively debated and debunked to death (verdict is Z Slash TH, no repainted Arc10) in the Chinese forums.

Lol, that's good to hear. I bought the Ashaway clone upon hearing a rumour that he'd be using that. I wouldn't be a happy chappy if he'd suddenly switched back to an Arc10.

Thats just a bunch of words without proof to support. We already saw countless TH matches using ArcZS TH, and not repainted Arc10. I really dont know where this stupid romours start from. I said it already and I'll say it again, TH is using the normal ArcZS TH. He may have it customised by YY but its not repainted Arc10, full stop.

Is Hidayat using the 2U or 3U version?

Thanks Blitzzards. Do you know of any professional Doubles player who doesn't use a 4U?

i didnt mean to say that the racket i ve hold yesterday is Taufik racket...i really didnt know whose racket belongs to....but im sure that the racket have different physical measurement that my slash TH....it look s like 99% Arc 10 cos i put it together between 3 racket....my slash TH, Arc 10 and the X racket...

i just wanna say that there s arcsaber slash TH that have different physical anatomy that regular slash TH out there...the shaft almost 10mm shorter than regular slash TH, head shape also.

i hope i can show u the picture, but im sorry i cant...i know picture speaks thousands word....
