    Wrong. Some tournament stringers who strung Taufik's racquets starting around WC2011 has confirmed that it is really the regular Z Slash TH that we all can buy from the stores. This is old news and had been intensively debated and debunked to death (verdict is Z Slash TH, no repainted Arc10) in the Chinese forums.

    Correct! :D

    Lol, that's good to hear. I bought the Ashaway clone upon hearing a rumour that he'd be using that. I wouldn't be a happy chappy if he'd suddenly switched back to an Arc10.

    i can make sure 1000% that there is Arc 10 with slash TH paint job ...i hold it myself yesterday....there is some rumors that TH have arc 10 with slash th and real slash TH....the special Arc 10 made for transition/adaptation but know he is using the real slash TH.....

    the racket is 3uG6 with yellow BG66 Ultimax ....g6+towel grip size is like g5 without overgrip...can u imagine how small is it :D:D:D....and i feel that 3u like 4u racket

    please note that i dont know what TH used...what im talking is not about what he used...i dont care bout it....i also didnt know who is the racket i hold yesterday belongs to

    Thats just a bunch of words without proof to support. We already saw countless TH matches using ArcZS TH, and not repainted Arc10. I really dont know where this stupid romours start from. I said it already and I'll say it again, TH is using the normal ArcZS TH. He may have it customised by YY but its not repainted Arc10, full stop.

    Thats because you did not hold a repainted Arc10

    i didnt mean to say that the racket i ve hold yesterday is Taufik racket...i really didnt know whose racket belongs to....but im sure that the racket have different physical measurement that my slash TH....it look s like 99% Arc 10 cos i put it together between 3 racket....my slash TH, Arc 10 and the X racket...

    i just wanna say that there s arcsaber slash TH that have different physical anatomy that regular slash TH out there...the shaft almost 10mm shorter than regular slash TH, head shape also.

    i hope i can show u the picture, but im sorry i cant...i know picture speaks thousands word....

    Every single one of the tournament pictures posted on BC that had been referred to and debunked at the other Chinese Badminton forums by people with more connection than you and I (on par with ants I have to point out).

    There is no point to argue this further anymore if there is no further evidence ;-)

    Maybe you could post some links and the names of the persons you refer to? So anyone can base their views based on how trustworhty theses are. I have certainly felt the look on the pictures posted confirmed Taufiks frame being wider than my Z.. but of course it could have been photohopped or something.. But on the other hand, I dont feel that a Yonex employed stringer may be the most objective source either.. :) I kind of trust BC members who says they have held Taufiks rackets personally, a bit more..
