    Probably

    a) Because your chinese friends don't have much of a clue (there are stiff high-end Victor rackets).
    b) Victor gave him a sweet deal, much like Yonex gave Peter Gade a sweet deal.

    I agree. The Powerwave 12 suggested by awatz looks a bit orange to me.

    BTW I think Victor will bring out a "Chen Hong" named racket soon. After just two weeks after signing it is a bit early yet though.

    how do you know they are his?:)

    I have to semi agree with dreamzz to be honest, why would he have any NS8K at all if he wasn't using them?

    But then again why would he Train with NS8K only to use Victor rackets in match? it doesn't make sense to me.

    Maybe he is just afraid of breaking his ne superwaves, and uses his old NS8000 when playing doubles with people he doesn't know during training :D :D

    My guess would be the pics where "released" to show he is replacing his Yonex with Victor Rackets (marketing reasons)..

    Theat he would use NS8000 for training an SW32 for matches doesnt make any sense at all..(if it wasn't that he hadn't yet received enough of the new rackets, or they where not strung correctly or something like that...)
