I noticed that as well LD. Carsten Mogensen tends to switch rackets quite regularly, especially when a new model is released. He used to use the Voltric 70 when it is first released, then he switched to the Voltric Z, including the purple and gold limited edition Z. I don't remember him ever using the Voltric 80 though. He seems to like being the guinea pig for Yonex.

He seems to like those premiums he gets for promoting new models...and maybe the excitement of experimenting with new stuff. I can understand both motivations though

Did he use the voltric 70 immediately? I thought he started using it when boe switched the voltric 80. Nvm just rechecked. Cant seem to delete this post

**j4ckie** · 02-26-2013, 06:13 PM

BS12NC = New Color, I guess. No idea what the heck BS12L is though, maybe the old color version...

hear from secret source, BS12L ( Ladies ) newest racket from Victor. Will be pop up at March or April.

**j4ckie** · 02-27-2013, 08:50 AM

What would a ladies' version be like? It's already medium flex and balanced, is it gonna be a different color scheme only or are they actually making it even softer/head lighter??
Or maybe it's just a rumour

Hi guys,

Just wanna ask what racket does Hendra Setiawan use currently? My cousin wanted to know..

**concretemad** · 03-02-2013, 03:04 AM

arcs7 new colour.

**-Berg** · 03-02-2013, 11:25 AM

Carsten's FlashBoost... i wonder if that lightweight toy strung at around 36 lbs

**faaiz** · 03-04-2013, 07:51 PM

Carsten using Arcsaber FlashBoost 6U?wowww..great player can play with any racket..he like kungfu master hehe

**j4ckie** · 03-05-2013, 06:25 AM

Some would argue and say he can't. After all, they lost to the English pair....which is rather disappointing for any Top10 pair.

**R20190** · 03-05-2013, 07:28 AM

I really can't believe that Carsten is using a ArcFB 6U. Considering he's been using head heavy racquets generally, that would be a massive change and probably give him even less power than he already has - which isn't that much to start with.

I suspect it's another racquet painted in the FB's livery.

Either you're just joking around or you have not been following world badminton. He DOES have power. It's just that he uses it rarely as he can't afford to get countered with Boe's defense being the big bright target it is....when he has the opportunity he can go past 250 no problem.
Before the VT70, he used the NS9900, btw, which isn't head heavy either, and before that, he was sponsored by Head (and they had no head heavy racket in their line-up at all).
So while your idea does have some merit, I actually believe he uses whatever racket he appears to be using.
Btw, I'm really no fan of BoMo so no need to suspect blind fanboy-ism here
