    That's very strange:confused::confused:
    He probably used Apacs while PBSI was working out a sponsership deal with Yonex then. That being said, his "one tournament stand" probably helped Apacs get a better reputation.

    So he was a free-agent for just one tourney while re-negotiating?
    Does that mean he wasn't allowed to use Yonex? Or was he using APACS as a bargaining tactic? If so, he could have driven a harder bargain if he had done a little better at that tourney. :eek:

    hey, can we get an update on who's using what these days? sorry about digging up an old thread, but i doubt that the pros are still using cab 20's, with all these new ATs and arcsabers out for the last few years.

    Why?

    I believe some still play with the Ti-10. Some rackets are just classics and were maybe released "before their time", the Cab 20 is still a great racket to this day and a perfectly legitimate racket for a professional player to use.

    I think he's just refering to the front page, which is hopelessly outdated.

    First saw Lee Chong Wei using the NanoSpeed 9900 in the All England 2009 and I think the first pro player to switch to it using in a tournament, but don't know whether he is still using BG66 for his strings.
