    lol it is an arcsaber 10 because it seems that the racket has a wider frame. taufik still brings both rackets to tournaments so yeah theres no surprise that hes still using the arcsaber 10

    If LD's wanting for a stiffer, and less head heavy racket, why not the N90II? Not a huge fan of his own signature racket? or does he prefer the blue? :p

    My feeling is that N50-II is a bit stiffer than N90-II.. I think he probably still prefers his N90, but maybe expreimenting with newer models for the olympic power :)

    I turned off the livestream, instead of having to watch WD, I was afraid I would fall asleep if I didn't...

    From yesterday, I remember seeing Swedish with Babolat stuff...

    Lee Chong Wei is definitely using the 3U VT80. We had photo evidence (apparently reliable) of that a while back.

    of course, we knew that LCW would use 3U anyway, for the thai's its harder to tell wheter, its 3U or 4U cause there is no photo's.. TH code is 4U, but players might get a choice as to which weight they want. Of course they could be using a mixture of 3U and 4U... :)

    Hard to know for sure - I wouldn't be so confident of LCW using 3U (but yes, there's apparently reliable photo evidence of this). It's debated that Peter Gade uses a 4U VT80. If so, I wonder why that is the case. Is LCW physically stronger than Gade (not talking about level of general fitness)? I doubt the effectiveness of technique differs that much between them, but I suppose their playing styles differ significantly?

    It would be so interesting to interview a few of the top men's singles and doubles players to see what they think about the above and more.

    Well LCW used 3U before with his AT900P, so I would be fairly confident of him using a 3U VT80, Peter Gade, i'm not to sure about, I believe that DK VT80's are available in 4U and i wouldnt be suprised, if former Arc10 users, were using 4U VT80's (providing they were using 3U Arc10's)
