A shocking view! In the round two of axiata cup, in the match Asia - Malaysia in XD (Chan Goh - Kuna Ponnapa), at the interval of the third game (46:55 min), Ponnapa puts her bad in the basket and one racquet's handle is out. The handle's bottom show a bright Yonex logo. Ponnapa of course is sponsored by Li Ning and is supposed to play with Li Ning racquets!
What is the racket from Tian Houwei at ABO 2013? It looks like a LN Wingstorm 680, or a LN N55 II with red cone or is it something new? BTW racket of Xue Song?
Can't identify it. Definitely not a N55II, but looks very similar to a Wingstorm 680 (some differences though). Perhaps a new model or a lesser known one not from the N-series...?
That's unusual for victor sponsored player using yonex string Just wondering, do Yonex stringers charge them for the service?
I'm certain they do - but in those tournaments, I guess they'll charge the Ntl. team instead of individual players...also you can't say what strings they usually use. But in those smaller tournaments players often just go with the Yonex strings, they're the most readily available and pretty much anyone who plays a different string normally will know which Yonex string comes closest. Chinese team did the same at the last US Open, although they're supposed to use Li Ning - I guess getting their rackets strung with Yonex is cheaper than bringing their own stringer(s). Although I would guess that there are Victor/Li Ning stringers at some bigger tournaments traveling with the ntl team.
Funny how Lee Yong Dae has his own BS LYD and LYD N and he still uses BS 12N. I believe Ko Sung Hyun also uses the TK8000.
