Professional players and their racquets

**j4ckie** · 01-19-2013, 09:33 AM

I don't know any more than them. Ki Jung switched to the MX JJS, and other than that, I only know one or two females using it. However, 3 of their best are using the Bs12, so that makes it rather popular if you take into account they only have like 6-7 elite male players on the tour and they're free to pick any of the current ~8-10 top-of-the-line models...Mx80 is a rather popular choice as well, although currently I only know of Kim Sa Rang and Shon Wan Ho using it.
A non-Korean male using the Bs12 would be Lee Sheng Mu, btw.

[for clarification - elite male players -in my eyes- would be Lee/Ko, Kim/Kim, Shin/Yoo, Shon, maybe Lee Dong Keun. Not sure if I forgot some XD player though. Among these, we have 3 Bs12, 1 SW37, 3 Mx80, 1 Mx JJS.]

As mentioned above, are they using 3U or 4U? among those 3 BS12, 1 SW37 etc..

**j4ckie** · 01-27-2013, 08:23 AM

Usually, international players use 3U rackets. In this case, I'm rather sure as the Bs12 is very quick anyway and has a somewhat low BP compared to most Pros' preference. 4U would just be too light and lack power.

I've had hands on with the BS 12 3U and well..I already find it lacking in power for my style.

Guys, what racket brand did HuYun use at that picture ?
Babolat or Adidas or ... ?

**Renmazuo27** · 02-05-2013, 08:57 PM

Judging by the two lines on the cone...I'd say Babolat.

Thanks for the fast response, Renmazuo27.
What Babolat it is ?

**Renmazuo27** · 02-05-2013, 09:18 PM

I'm going to guess and say that it is either an X-Feel Blast or a Satelite 6.5 Blast. My reasoning is that there are some splashes of red on his racquet and these are the only two on their website that have it.

**olli** · 02-06-2013, 02:46 AM

It's the Babolat Satelite 6.5 Power.

**olli** · 02-06-2013, 02:49 AM

Do the players have special contracts with other sponsors than usual just for the Djarum league?

**Licin** · 02-06-2013, 03:13 AM

Simon has signed contract with Lining.

**Renmazuo27** · 02-06-2013, 03:57 AM

What racket is Boonsak using?

My guess would be that the Indonesion Super League is right around the time where many players start using their new materials if they got a new contract....usually, only the apparel is affected by league play (i.e. players wearing the team sponsor's jersey rather than their usual brand) and rackets aren't. Would be a mess if players had to change rackets all the time

Is it just me or does Boonsak's racket look Voltric-y? Can't make out any details though...

Oh, and I agree with olli on Hu Yun's racket. Looks like a Sat 6.5 Power to me (don't see any red, and he used the 'Power' rackets before as well).
