I see he still has his AT900PLC

**george@chongwei** · 09-14-2012, 09:34 AM

That is probably others' racket.. Not his..

Taufik Hidayat racket at the yonex japan open 2012.

**lks332** · 09-25-2012, 08:52 AM

is it just me or does Kim Ki Jung's racket look awfully like the MX-JJS during the Japan Open?

He DOES use the JJS. There have been some photos during the OG preparation where you could clearly see it, and the JO footage cements that. Smash looks a bit more dangerous than with the BS12.

Is that an Arc-10 Premium Edition? Looks a little different?

Does Taufik Hidayat only use Arc 10s now and not the Arc-ZS?

Taufik only used the Arc ZS once at the French open, and possibly at the Japan open, that was it.

Thanks, thought as much. I've never seen him use it but on the Yonex site they say he uses both.

Are there any prominent professionals that still uses the Arc ZS?

Just Kenichi Tago really, there are a few others but he is the main one you'd say.

It's not a real record. There were no other rackets tested in the same manner and only Yonex-sponsored players competed. Real records are recorded during competition using a radar-based system rather than the high-speed camera Yonex employed.
Effective marketing, but at the end of the day, only marketing. Also quite telling that NO real smasher ever really used this in competition...

I'd also point out reiko shiota, she may not be the best player but looking at people reactions in some threads in the general forum you can't deny she draws attention
