For those BF'ers who are interested..and not yet seen the updated webpage somehow = http://www.yonex.com/badminton/player/topics.html There is also a advert poster abt the AT-900 featuring TH and LD.
Well what about others than Yonex. Emms/Robert - Carlton, Kellog/Clark - Head, PHY - babolat ??? , Martin Lungard (sp) - Forza. Any others ?
I think... Pi Hongyan => Babolat Satelite Nitro Martin Lundgard => Forza Ti-24 Nathan Robertsson => Carlton PowerBlade Tour Gail Emms => Carlton PowerBlade SuperLite Anthony Clark => Head Metallix 8000 Donna Kellogg => Head Metallix 4000 Cheers, Twobeer
so it seems that anyone who used the new at900 failed to get very far, do we know who besides LCW were given one? also, i've noticed that all the pros who won or were runners-up used the S version of the ns9k, do any of them use the X version?
Do you really think at this level, racket still an important factor? The most important is the flex and tension fit their style not the model.....
Probably it matters MORE at a level where technique is close to perfection and very little separates the top athletes. Then the slightly minor advantage of material will become more significant, than for Average Joe, who misses the sweetspot more times than he hits it /Twobeer
nah, all the racquets, shoes and other attire are given to them, that's the meaning of being sponsored. i would be very surprised if any of the top pros had to buy any of the equipment they use during tournaments.
i dunno, twobeer might be right, you might be right, i'm just making an observation based on the list of equipment used by the winners ...
then stop stringing at 30lbs anyway, same old debate..I personally feel racket are to match a person and make them feel comfortable on court...racket performance (as far as it's up to the racket I guess) should be a factor in match results... Pro's aren't more technically inclined than us equipment nutters..they just test a batch of 20 rackets and see which one 'fits'..."power" "control" are hardly used (and yes, I did speek to some pro's about it) In that case all singleplayers who used something different than an at700 failed...they're all crappy rackets
Whoever told you I am not hitting the sweetspot besides.. At 30lbs you have a monetary incentive to dont misshit /Twobeer
