I notice that Gong Zhi Chao and Camilla Martin use the same racquet. It looks like a Ti but which one? Can somebody tell what it is?
If Camilla uses a Ti, it's a Ti-10. The graphics doesn't match the others... plus it's logical, I guess!
Gong's looks like a Ti-10 from <a target=top_ href="http://themeye.top263.net/starpic/china/gzc/gzc003.jpg">this picture</a>. she used to use the Iso900-SR.
Since I know that Gong played the ISO 900 series, it would be more logical if she played a Ti Swing Power. The graphics of the ti swing power are quite similar to those of ti10. Oh, and Camilla definetly uses ti10 rackets! cheers Alex
A conclusion based on exclusion of other possibilties! Her racquet doesn't have the red colour that Ti10 has. (Maybe I have a bit of colour blindness)
actually, i change my mind, it looks like a Ti Swing Power. look at <a target=top_ href="http://www.badmintonpage.com/images/titanium/tiSP.jpg">this picture</a>, esp notice the 3 and 9 o'clock position, the Ti-10's graphics is different... and also take a look at <a target=top_ href="http://themeye.top263.net/starpic/china/gzc/gzc035.jpg">this picture</a>, the Ti-10 has red accent, but it is missing from the racket in the picture.
cheung: from kwun attached jpg, two key differences to consider: 1. color above the 3 & 9 o clock mesh is white, Ti-10 is red 2. on the shaft near the handle, there are two reflective regions , in between that is blue. Ti-10 has no blue nor these two reflective pattern I dont have latest photo of C. Martin.. The last photo i have is from 2000 yonex catalog which looks like CM using a iso800. It is highly that she might switched to a newer racket by now.
Should be Ti Swing Power ... I'm wondering if there are CN version for Ti Swing Power (Luxis does not have) as most people whose tried this series said that it is not as good as the old Isometric 900.
just imagine if Gong had used the Isometric 900 instead of the Ti-Swing Power in the Olympics, Camilla will have no chance!
RE: Ti Swing Power wins So it looks like Ti Swing power according to our varied opinions. Interestingly, I felt that the racquet was too light and that's even with the version that's 2nd most head heavy.
Nope, I just got a picture of CM in the Thomas cup. she is definately holding a Ti10. I can see the red markings.
