Professional players and their racquets

[olli]

If he hasn't changed since the Copenhagen Masters, Peter Rasmussen is playing with a Yonex Cab-21 with Carlton logo on the strings.

"herovc: anyone know what weight (2U/3U/4U) their racquets are? "

I also want to know that, especially the mp99 users, like Lin Dan and Jonas Rasmussen.

I, also, want to know how high they string their racquets, how high they grip it and how many scratches it has on it.

The CP version of the MP-99 only comes in 2U - so Lin is using a 2U racket. I'm not sure about Jonas. Generally pros tend to use heavier rackets, but all the Forza rackets Jonas used to play with before were 3U versions. Aditionally there is a general trend to use lighter rackets in nowadays: MP-88, AT-series only come in 3U or 4U (but very headheavy so comparable with balanced 2U rackets).

The CP version? Are there different versions also ?
What does they stand for and what is the difference(mp99)?

you can find those at "Q&A" or by "search".

I don't think you will know those very details unless you are actually having one in hand or you are the one who string their racquets

Peter Rasmussen - Carlton (anyone know which model?)

He better uses the racquet named after him - Carlton Airblade Rasmussen.

It appears that Jonas Rasmussen is using a MP90 as illustrated on Yonex Japan's website, along with contradicting posts saying that he is using MP99. Anyone wanna clarify? And does anyone know if he is using a 3u/2u?

Well, in Japan, it's called MP90. Same thing as MP99

No, Jonas is using the MP99, not MP90 which is a Japanese domestic model. You can refer to Jonas site and you will find Jonas saying the yellow power racquet racquet he is using is an MP99.

I was surprised to learn that some top players are not using the latest rackets (those colored orange).

Of course beside Yonex, some players are using other brands of rackets.
