Professional players and their racquets

**Winex West Can** · 04-22-2003, 06:19 PM

The problem with this thread is that the pros switch their racquets too. For example, in the pic above of Zhou Mi; she is/was using a Ti Swing Power and on Yonex Korea website, it says that she is/was using a MP-100.

Also Hian/Limpele used to use Yonex, then switch to Babolat, and now back to Yonex and even within Yonex, Hian recently switched to the new Armourtec.

You mean the CORRECT way. As you should know being Canadian.

Man, after saying words without the u since I talk on other forums where most of the population is from the US, I start writing essay papers with American grammar. So it's horrible. I can't really say I'm Canadian now eh?

For Canadians, wouldn't Armortech mean something completely different? Wait I'm thinking of Amoir... nevermind

And shouldn't the British variant be Armourtech!!!?

Well it doesn't need to be since it is the name of the product and not simply a generic noun. But let's not continue this as it really isn't on topic here.

Interesting that Chen Hong switched to the AT700.

Yep mod.

I'm surprised that there are no Gosen racquets whatsoever.

Gosen rackets are mainly only used by Malaysian National Team as they are the official sponsor. From one of Cheung's list, it appears Babolat is a decent-sized sponsor in Europe.

**Yodums** · 05-06-2003, 09:33 PM

Yep. . . I knew that but I wonder why it wasn't mentioned on the list. Maybe it is kept on the down lo? The Babolat statistics kind of surprised me too. I thought Forza would be more popular even though it's a Danish brand.
