i was wondering how many tension use the top players like Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei, Fu/Cai, clark/Clair, Emms/Roberson etc. regards in badminton Xaviman
Interesting...mmhh... The information is top secret and not that easy to get I just know: 1. Taufik Hidayat (ina): bg-66 at 31lbs 2. Mia Audina (hol): bg-80 at 27lbs 3. Jens Eriksen (den): bg-80 at 35lbs 4. Lindan (chin): bg-65 at 29lbs ...maybe 5. Ong ewe hock (mal): ashaway rally micro-21 at 23lbs 6. Tony Gunawan (ina): bg-65 at ??? i don't know I dont know the other, any BC people could give the information please...
I think that's a bit harsh. He's experimented with different tensions and setups and found one he likes. He plays league matches and wins. Why change it. I think footwork, stroke technique, consistency and fitness are each more important than tension. edit: and we're going off topic, my fault - sorry.
Hmm, are we only going by... ...the current batch of professional "top players" or also of those from the 90s, 80s & 70s??..aren't those players "top players" as well??...
<Applause> </Applause> well said! Dunno why all the secrecy really, it's not like that info can really be used against someone to win a match. And it's going to be different for everyone. What works for one wont for the other.
Let us look at it from this way-you will be hard pressed to find any of today's top men or women players playing with the Ong Ewe Hock tension of old. In the days of 150g wooden Dunlop Maxply racquets and natural gut, 18lbs tension was plenty. Today we have much higher tech racquets. Adapt or be left behind.
it was 10 years ago, and i played w/ bg-66 at 28lbs on carbonex 20 tour sp, do my racket have higher tech? i don't think so It's about preference, each player has it's own playing style and preference
he.hehe.. asking the stringer or the player.. but not all the stringer and player want to share, that's all now i'm curious to know about bao chunlai tension when he used bg-65ti last year
Why not start using the eminent search tool in this forum?? http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=392779&postcount=14 /Twobeer
Well, I think it's an unwritten (maybe written, who knows) agreement between the pros and their racket sponsors for the tensions to not be shared with the public. Most Yonex rackets are only guaranteed to support tensions in the low to mid 20s. Granted, most will stand higher tensions, but if every amateur knew the numbers the pros used, they'd be sure to emulate. Yonex would suddenly have many more broken rackets and unsatissfied customers.
