Lin Dan's racket.

[onitsuka33]

Does anyone know why does Lin Dan puts athletic tape on the top of his rackets??

Is it to be unique or other reason?

[exalted]

has been covered in a few other threads, i asked about this myself

i think it serves a double purpose - to add a little more head heaviness to the top, and also protects the racket (the top is used often to pick up shuttles, etc.)

i'm more curious as to whether he's making the switch to n90ii or not

[onitsuka33]

oh ritee, okay...
but i do think it makes the racket looks cooler, in a way.. hahaha

yahh i'm curious about that as well!!
FHF seems to be training with N50II already.
With Lin Dan, he likes to stay with the original one, the classic one...
Maybe he'll stick with the first gen.

Lin dan will stick to his N90 racket, he dont like N90 (2).
